A lot of people seem to be hating on the blonde princess' hairstyle, and don't seem to really know why the author/artist chose that style.
I can't claim to know why they picked it either, of the many they could have gone with, but I thought it worth mentioning that the style is probably a reflection of real life hairstyles in the late Middle Ages. I only really know it being called a horned headdress, but I'm pretty sure the proper name for it is "escoffion" or something like that.
It wasn't really the hair that was fashioned to look like cones, as a woman's hair (especially for nobility) was regarded as something rather sacred and/or intimate depending on the culture, and was typically hidden away under a headdress (like a hat) unless in the comfort of a private area with either their husband or handmaiden and other close maids. The style she sports was generally popular in European countries like England, France, and Germany and the like, which seems to match up with the setting of this story (somewhere European) and the character herself (who seems to be of either Germanic or Welsh decent??? Her last name Enoch supposedly originates from the Welsh language, but her first name is of old Greek decent, but a variant of a German name). Going back to the chapter we first officially meet her, the maids in her father's office also sport popular Germanic styles for clothing and hair.
....so.... tl;dr: Chalk it up to the author/artist wanting to be vaguely historically accurate while still having creative license to do what makes them happy. ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
