From my basic understanding, anime (or any animation) is drawn frame-by-frame.
With that in mind, why are countless character designs made with spiky hair
and other complex parts such as chains, intricate design patterns, etc?

An animator would have to re-draw every single strand and detail which would
take longer for the animation to be made, so therefore I thought there would
be less flamboyant hairstyles yet they prove me wrong every season, in fact
each design being even MORE complex. Why?

With animation being so time consuming, why are hairstyles so spiky and complex?
