You cannot avoid passing by this chest on the way east to the Craftwork boss. |
 Hair Apparent II |
A magazine issue that glamorizes "swept-back" hairstyles. | Dian Cécht Cathedral Found in a chest at the top of the left, tall bell tower. This closed-off area can only be reached by taking the east exit out of the Oriental Sorcery Lab. |

Hair Apparent VII |
A magazine issue that glamorizes the "ponytail". | Towers of Twin Dragons Found in a chest at the bottom of the "upper half" of the west tower, reached by using Double Jump's kick-attack to rebound off the two purple candles underneath it.

Trivia[]
- Hair Apparent I has a unique cover design. All other books share the same cover.
- Despite the books being numbered from I to XII, there is no "Hair Apparent V" in the game.
- Every time the player acquires a new Hair Apparent and goes back to talk to Todd, a message saying that a new hairstyle has been unlocked will appear accompanied by the same animation that appears whenever Miriam levels up. However, after a certain number of Hair Apparents have been "given" to Todd, he won't "level up" anymore, even if the player has acquired a new Hair Apparent.
