* ''[[Katanagatari]]'''s Togame goes for broke by combining these with a [[Hime Cut]] and [[Rapunzel Hair]]. Oh, she's also a [[White-Haired Pretty Girl]]. Now what do think the odds are she's a main character?

== [[Literature]] ==
Line 102 ⟶ 100:

▲== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* The original [[Rich Bitch]] Nellie Olson from ''[[Little House on the Prairie (TV series)|Little House On the Prairie]]'' has hair styled into ringlets that frame her face and cascade down her shoulders with a large bow at the crown.

* In Europe many royalty used hot curlers to have ringlets. The men too, in the Stuart times.
