Line 9:
Compare [[Close Call Haircut]]. When the character undoes the hair willingly on camera see [[Shaking Her Hair Loose]]. If the ponytail gets severed completely, it easily becomes a [[Traumatic Haircut]] and possibly an [[Important Haircut]].

== Anime and Manga ==
Line 17:
** Such as Jin being onscreen?
* Tomoe's ponytail loosens in ''[[Rurouni Kenshin]]'' right before {{spoiler|her [[Heroic Sacrifice]] by throwing herself between Kenshin and his enemy.}}
** Likewise, this happens to Kenshin himself in his first battle with Saito, though in this case it's played as unsettling rather than hot as Kenshin's [[Super -Powered Evil Side|Battousai mode]] is coming out simultaneously.
** Also happened to Kenshin in the second prototype story. The girl he rescued tied his hair up with her ribbon afterward, and he apparently had no clue that ribbons were for women, thereby making it an opportunity for 'Kenshin is hot and scary' followed by 'Kenshin is adorable and clueless.'
** Also happens to Yumi during the Kenshin/Shishio fight in the anime. {{spoiler|When Shishio runs through her with his sword, her headgear breaks and her hair is loose as she falls into Shishio's embrace}}.
Line 63:
* In ''[[Curse of the Golden Flower (Film)|Curse of the Golden Flower]]'', the Empress' hair comes undone while fighting with her stepson over a robe she wants him to wear. They're also apparently carrying on an illicit affair, and things almost get intimate before he runs off.
** The Emperor also gets one of these later in the film, as he {{spoiler|takes off his belt to beat his youngest son, Yu, who had just murdered his older half-brother both because of the aforementioned affair and Yu's own status as [[The Unfavorite]].}}
* Since Alexander Dane, the [[I Am Not Spock|extremely regretful]] [[Classically -Trained Extra|classically-trained actor]] who played ''[[Galaxy Quest (Film)|Galaxy Quest]]'''s [[Star Trek|Spock]][[Expy|-analogue]], is [[Alien Abduction|abducted]] in full costume including [[Rubber Forehead Aliens|his prosthetic head covering]], we don't actually see ''any'' of his hair for most of the film, except near the end, when the latex finally gives out {{spoiler|sometime during his [[Offscreen Moment of Awesome|off-screen]] [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]}} and splits in one part, letting an incongruous lock slip out, adding to his overall wild-eyed {{spoiler|[[Normally I Would Be Dead Now|"I can't believe I'm not dead"]]}} demeanor at the time.
* It happens to Kayley in ''[[Quest for Camelot]]'' as she ends up escaping into a forest, a branch snagging her hairtie.
 
Line 94:
** In ''[[Dissidia]]'', Terra/Tina's hair is up as a human and down as an esper to show the more that her esper form is her primal side.
* The [[PS 1]] fighting game ''[[Evil Zone (Video Game)|Evil Zone]]'' has two characters whose ponytails come undone after taking enough damage: Keiya (male) and Erel (female).
* In ''[[Tales of the Abyss]]'', this happens in the second half of the final battle with {{spoiler|Van Grants. Considering how he managed to pull off the same effect that most final Tales bosses have to [[One -Winged Angel|transform into large, grotesque creatures]] in order to achieve just by taking off his shirt and letting his hair down, the battle ended up being that much more badass for it.}}
* In ''[[Battle Moon Wars]]'', Haruna's hair is let loose whenever her [[Power Limiter]] is removed. It's unclear exactly how [[Les Yay|Natsuki kissing her]] makes her hairstyle come undone.
* The ''[[Touhou]]'' protagonist Reimu pulls off her hair tie in the outlandishly exaggerated fangame ''Touhou Soccer'' as part of her ultimate technique, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpw0Cxhn-EA Dream Heaven]. Naturally, it blows through almost anything.
