* Virtually universal in any romance fic involving [[Harry Potter (novel)|Minerva McGonagall]]. Probably something to do with a funny line she had in ''[[Harry Potter and Thethe Goblet of Fire (novel)|Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire]]''.{{context|reason=Which line?}}

* Hester Prynne lets her hair down during her secret forest rendezvous with Rev. Dimmesdale in ''[[The Scarlet Letter]]''.
* Played for laughs in ''[[Harry Potter and Thethe Goblet of Fire (novel)|Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire]]'', where [[Stern Teacher|Professor McGonagall]] makes a remark about ''letting our hair down'' (in reference to the Yule Ball) and the narration notes that it doesn't look like she's ever let her hair down in any sense.
* In ''[[A Tree Grows in Brooklyn]]'', Francie's mother won't let her get a fashionable bob because a woman should have long hair as her "secret" beauty that only her lover/husband (well, presumably Katie means husband) gets to see when she unpins it at the end of the day.
* In ''[[The Worst Witch]]'' books, it's tradition that at the Halloween celebrations all the teachers and pupils wear their hair down. Miss Hardbroom is described to have shining black tresses tumbling down to her waist and Mildred remarks that she doesn't look half as frightening with her hair down.
