“
That's right. I implanted several hundred strands of my hair...into your head.
”
—Yukako Yamagishi, Chapter 297: Yukako Yamagishi Falls in Love, Part 4
Love Deluxe (ラブ・デラックス, Rabu Derakkusu) is the Stand of Yukako Yamagishi, featured in the fourth part of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series, Diamond is Unbreakable.
Bound to Yukako's hair, it allows her to grow it to supernatural lengths and remotely take control of it.
Appearance
Love Deluxe is bound to the hair of its user Yukako. Because it is bound to an object, Yukako takes no damage from her hair being attacked or cut. This also makes it visible to non-Stand users.
After taking significant damage, her hair temporarily turns completely white.
Abilities
Hair Manipulation
Love Deluxe is bound to Yukako's hair, allowing her to freely manipulate it, as well as grow to various lengths, and move with considerable strength and dexterity.[3]
Love Deluxe is precise enough that the hair can tie something as small as a tongue, but is also powerful enough to immobilize someone.[4] When angered, Yukako can unleash Love Deluxe and make her hair grow so much it can cover and penetrate the walls of an entire house.[5] It has a range of about 10 meters.[4] Her hair will turn white from too much stress should Yukako herself take enough damage or overuse it.[6]
Yukako is also able to shoot strands of her hair at opponents, which she then controls freely. As she takes no damage when the hair is destroyed, Yukako can then grow these strands of hair to make then reach dangerous hazards, such as fire nearby, igniting people on fire as well[3] but also to throw people around.[7]

Though the true extent of Love Deluxe's strength is never shown, in the game Eyes of Heaven, Love Deluxe is shown to be strong enough to easily lift an opponent affected by the increased weight of Koichi's Echoes ACT3.
