Leo
He's such a blonde.
Like is this even a question? Its basically canon atpΒ
He would either bleach his hair, or it would be naturally blonde (albinism)
Whether he's albino or not, he's going to be chronically light skinned regardless.
His brothers stole all his melaninΒ
I like the albinism headcanon because it makes him stand out even more (we love a boy who loves to be the center of attention)
Also plays into the fact that he is intuitive, and therefore wouldn't need great vision to perform exceptionally in battle
Also explains why he likes sunglasses, he's got sensitive eyes
Speaking of eyes, they're blueish if he's albino. Otherwise they're dark brown.
Waist length dreads/locs
His hair needs to be as extravagant as him
100% puts charms in his hair
I'm the least picky regarding Leoβs hair style, anything over the top works. I'm just being indulgent here. I love long hair Leo.

Donnie
I'm kind of torn on his hair colour
I know he loves purple and would logically dye his hair purpleβ¦
But this boy is also a smart fashion mf. He knows that too much of one color drowns you and contrast is important
But then againβ¦ heβs the type to know this shit and just fucking ignore it anyways.
It's either purple or he's leaving it black.

I take no criticism on this. He is.
He has a twin brother who is pale as shit. The melanin had to go somewhere
Compulsory dark brown eyes with his melanin and all
Unpopular opinion but... Donnie would totally have his hair in cornrows
He prioritizes comfort over style, and cornrows are low maintenance for this busy boy and good looking too
Fun fact, heβs actually the only one of his brothers who never wears a wig or obtains hair somehow at any point in the show.Β
Heβs extra bald.
African Blasian
4c hair (coily coily)
Raph
The only one that for sure won't dye his hair
I just don't think he has a reason to tbh
He's not quite light skinned but he's definitely lighter than Donnie and Mikey.
He has tons of birthmarks, large ones too. Big ol' one on his neck and smaller ones down onto his shoulders.
Again, compulsory dark brown eyes
My boy has a buzz.
I honestly considered giving him waves but they're a bit too high maintenance to make sense with his personality and habits.
Even when the Turts wear regular clothes, his outfits tend to be just a liiiittle more practical than his brothers. (See below, far right. Seriously, Mikey?)
He prefers low maintenance and easy to manage, unlike Leo's hair
He HATES how Leo's hair gets in the way of training and fights, and has concluded he just doesn't want that problem
Durag Raph.

Mikey
Dyes his hair too often to be considered even remotely healthy
Orange tips are a frequent choice, but he also loves doing all his siblings' colors (Red for Raph, Green for April, etc)
The other sibling with melanin
Him and Donnie are the Darkskin Duo
He's not as dark as Donnie, but pretty close. He's darker than Raph.
I like to headcanon him with vitiligo, to replicate his spots and on his hands/fingertips as well.
Im being indulgent here lmao
Again, compulsory dark brown eyes
Mikey sports his natural curls.
I don't have a concrete reason for this, other than the fact that I headcanon Mikey with severe hair damage which results in him losing his curls in the bad future.
I took that little swoop in his hair and RAN WITH IT.
Because of this, i also headcanon him with loose curls to make this make more sense lmao
His baby curls wouldn't do too well in most protective styles so he just doesn't wear them.
