Medusa has snakes for hair because Athena, the goddess of wisdom cursed her for being so beautiful. Before Medusa was cursed, she lived with her 2 sisters, Euryale and Stheno, the Gorgons. People used to come from far places to have a glimpse of Medusa's lovely face. SO, Athena got pretty angry and jealous so she cursed Medusa making her hair snakes and her eyes a weapon that turns people into stone if you look at her in the eye.
