We make an extensive use of the variety brought by medieval2. In a basic unit of gauls, some guys are hairy, some are not, and some wear tunics or armours.
edit : and they have nipples.

Why do they have spiky hairs? Botroas have such too in EB1 and I don't understand, they knew a wax-like material, or why is that?

the spiked hair of the guy to the left look like he is wearing some sort of crown
Gott mit dir, dem Bayernvolke,
Daß wir unsrer Väter wert,
fest in Eintracht und in Friede
bauen unseres Glückes Herd;
Daß der Freund da Hilfe finde,
Wehrhaft uns der Gegner schau,
Wo die Rauten-Banner wehen,
Unsre Farben – Weiß und Blau!
Their all Super Saiyan...
We love you because you died and resurrected to save us...

Maybe Dragonball celts?

Apparently. I can't give you a primary source, but I recall Adrian Goldsworthy mentioning that the Britons spiked their hair. They make the bearer look taller and more imposing, similar to the bearskins and mitres used by Napoleonic armies. It looks a bit ridiculous now, but it may appear very differently to you when you are standing in a battleline about to be charged by bloodthirsty Celts.

I recall Goldsworthy saying that as well, but it was thought they used lye to spike their hair, and if lye causes hair loss I cant imagine them using it very often. Maybe its not as strong if just used occasionally before battle? Where as the lye soap would be used more often on their bodies.
De inimico non loquaris sed cogitas-Do not wish ill for your enemy, plan it.
I think I remember reading in the Soap Maker description in EB 1 that they used soap to bleach and spike their hair.
