Line 17:
See also [[Important Haircut]]. Compare [[Slipknot Ponytail]], where one's hair goes ''au naturale'' because they are being badass, and [[Wild Hair]], where it is normally worn loose. Also compare [[Shaking Her Hair Loose]] when the hair is dramatically undone on camera.
{{examples

Line 70:
* Twice inverted in [[Tangled]], since it was after a long time with Flynn that she put her hair up, and let it back down {{spoiler|after returning to Mother Gothel}}.

** Rare villain example: [[God Save Us From the Queen|the Queen]] in ''[[Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs (Disney)|Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs]]'' during her transformation into [[One
** [[Cinderella (Disney)|Cinderella]], when the effects of the [[Fairy Godmother]]'s magic spell start to wear off.
** ''[[One Hundred and One Dalmatians (Disney)|One Hundred and One Dalmatians]]'', when Anita falls into the pond.
Line 76:
** [[The Little Mermaid (Disney)|''The Little Mermaid II'']]: When King Triton turns Ariel back into a mermaid so she can rescue her daughter Melody from Ursula's sister, Morgana.

** Jane Porter from ''[[Tarzan (Disney)|Tarzan]]'', when she starts to abandon her high-class nature in favor of an animal-like lifestyle.
Line 111:
* ''[[Degrassi]]'' character Holly J starts out with her hair in a tight ponytail at all times, letting her hair down once in a failed seduction technique on resident hottie Blue. As she becomes more comfortable with people, and stops being the [[Alpha Bitch]], she slowly moves to less uptight hairstyles. Season 9 she wears a series of cute functional hairbands, finally in Season 10 she moved to her hair being unadorned unless for practical reasons for whatever activity is going on. Other characters have done the switch to hair down for [[Beautiful All Along]] reasons.
* In ''[[Glee]]'', head cheerleader and the [[Alpha Bitch]] Quinn wears her hair in a tight ponytail for most of season 1, until her teen pregnancy is revealed and she is forced to quit the cheerleading team. She starts wearing her hair loose and becomes a more compassionate person. At the start of season 2, having given up her baby for adoption, she goes back to her original tight ponytail hairstyle. (Her more relaxed personality is also reflected in a change in wardrobe-- from the sharp cheerleader uniform to more casual clothes.)
* When [[Elvira, Mistress of the Dark]] lets her [[Beehive Hairdo]] down, she ''really'' lets it down! You wouldn't expect such a small beehive to have so much hair in it.
* Annie in ''[[Community (TV)|Community]]'' episode [[Community (TV)/Recap/S1 E09 Debate 109|Debate 109]].
* Inverted on ''[[NCIS]]''. When we meet Ziva, she's a wild, seductive, crazy, Israeli, ninja assassin. Her hair is also absolutely wild. As she becomes more friendly, open, and relaxed, her hair is also tamed somewhat. She's no less badass with her hair in a ponytail, but a little less . . . crazy.
