->''"Let it fly in the breeze and get caught in the trees\\
Give a home to the fleas, in my hair\\
A home for fleas, a hive for the buzzing bees\\
A nest for birds, there ain't no words\\
For the beauty, splendor, the wonder of my hair\\
Flow it! (Hair!) Show it! (Hair!)\\
Long as God can grow, my hair!"''
-->-- '''The title song''' from ''Theatre/{{Hair}}''

This character has long hair — butt to ankle length long hair — and they let it [[DramaticWind dramatically blow around them]]. In fiction, this can mean a number of things from accentuating their [[LongHairIsFeminine femininity]] and/or high social position to symbolizing their [[BarbarianLonghair wild and untamed nature]]. This trope is concerned with the former.

Hair is heavy, especially when wet, and as anyone who has had long hair can attest, it takes forever to comb out [[note]]especially difficult if it's longer than your own arm[[/note]], requires much more shampoo than usual, tangles at the slightest provocation, becomes unpredictably wavy to frizzy in humidity, attacks everything in a strong wind (for that matter, long hair loose in a strong wind can actually ''hurt'', and has a tendency to be blown in front of one's face and render a person effectively blind), and is often getting caught in things and being in the way. It also has a way of winding up in your food and your mouth, eyes, and nose, and if it hangs below your mid-back, you have to be careful sitting in seats to avoid it being pinned behind or under you (or even under other people sitting next to you). Sleeping with very long hair (or sleeping ''with'' someone with long hair — [[DoubleEntendre in both senses of the term]]) has its drawbacks, too. For all these reasons, it is associated with those of high status.

A noblewoman, for instance, likely has a MaidCorps that helps her maintain all that hair and the resources to pay for things like gallon jugs of conditioner and one hundred hair ties. This sort of thing is a status symbol. This trope is most often female but a man might also wish to demonstrate that he does not have to do anything strenuous by wearing a second layer of clothing in his hair and beard.

Whether or not this is possible in RealLife (without artificial hair extensions, that is) also strongly depends on one's genetics; every strand of hair has a "terminal length" at which it will stop growing and be shed. Hair's terminal length varies with every individual but is typically around a person's buttock to mid-thigh area, and one must have special inherited genes for their hair to be able to grow past this length without falling out. No matter how hard one tries to grow hair longer than this, if it is not in their genes, it ''will not'' be possible.

Compare ImprobableHairstyle and tropes along similar lines. Contrast with BoyishShortHair, which is mainly used for tomboy types and {{Action Girl}}s, and BarbarianLonghair for when long hair represents the opposite of refined civility. See LongHairedPrettyBoy for when long hair accentuates the beauty of a PrettyBoy.

If that much grows very fast, it's RapidHairGrowth. If their hair is used to [[SceneryCensor cover up nudity]] and shut up the censors, it's GodivaHair. DistaffCounterpart of WizardBeard. See also CompressedHair for one way to conceal the hair of such length and HairyHammerspace for when items are concealed in it.

'''Note:''' When listing examples, please mention if they have at least one of the lifestyle or personality characteristics associated with this trope (GirlyBruiser, LadyOfWar, LipstickLesbian, nobility, {{Ojou}}, ProperLady, royalty, TomboyWithAGirlyStreak, YamatoNadeshiko, or other traits). Do not list examples when a character is a BarbarianLonghair.

!!Examples:

[[foldercontrol]]

[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
* Lush, knee-long hair is a required attribute of the "Matsumoto woman"--a common archetype in the works of Creator/LeijiMatsumoto, perhaps best exemplified by Maetel from ''Manga/GalaxyExpress999'' and Emeraldas from various ''Anime/CaptainHarlock'' media and [[Anime/QueenEmeraldas her own series]] (in which they are even retconned as twin sisters). A "Matsumoto woman" is a tall, willowy beauty with extraordinarily long but perfectly kept hair (usually blonde, although Emeraldas is a FieryRedhead in most of her incarnations), who, depending on the work, symbolizes the Feminine, the unknown, the primordial forces of the universe, or all or some combination of the above.
* A male example: [[LongHairedPrettyBoy Iason]] [[TheBeautifulElite Mink]] from ''LightNovel/AiNoKusabi'' has hair down to his waist.
* Princess Asseylum Vers Allusia from ''Anime/AldnoahZero'' has very long and thick blonde hair that reaches her butt. After the assassination attempt, she uses Martian technology to hide its true length and color.
* Kuchiha of ''Manga/{{Amatsuki}}'' sports a ponytail so long that it doubles as a ScarfOfAsskicking. But even this is nothing compared to Ginshu and Byakuroku--their hair drags along the ground.
* ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'':
** Sakaki's hair is so long that it can actually be seen between her legs when she's simply standing. She also appears to sit on it on a few occasions.
** Yomi's hair is hip-length, but curiously only in the anime. In the manga, it varies between chest length and waist length.
* ''Anime/{{Bakemonogatari}}'': Black Hanekawa has floor-length white hair.
* Hannah of ''Manga/BlackButler''. Usually keeps it bound in a braid, but it easily reaches her ankles.
* In ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'', we have Grimmjow, who, in his released form [[spoiler:not only turns into a cat but has long blue hair that hangs down past his waist]]. A bit later, we also get [[spoiler:Ichigo, who sports a mullet style with hair that hangs past HIS waist while he's a hollow, It gets even longer when he uses Final Getsuga Tensho, and Aizen's mullet with hair nearly touching the backs of his knees after his body has finished absorbing the Hogyuku]]. Rapunzel indeed.
* In ''Manga/Brave10'', Ana, Isanami, and a few of the villains like Date, Hanzo, Okatsu, and Goemon have long flowy hair, regardless of the amount of time they spend in combat situations where it's probably a hazard. It does look very nice blowing in the wind, though.
* In ''Manga/CaptainTsubasa'', almost all the girls wear their hair short or at shoulder-length. The biggest exception is Levin's [[spoiler: deceased]] girlfriend Karin, whose wavy [[HairOfGoldHeartOfGold blonde hair]] goes down to her hips.
** [[ExpositoryHairstyleChange Later in the series]], Carlos Santana becomes a RareMaleExample thanks to his [[BraidsOfAction small braids]] that reach his back.
* ''LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex''
** Archbishop Laura Stuart's hair extends down her back all the way to her ankles... and then it loops back up to the top of her head again. And then it goes through a hairpin and goes down to her waist again. Her hair is about ''14-feet long''.
** While not nearly as long, Kaori Kanzaki's hair goes all the way to her hips. The same with Misaki Shokuhou and Aiho Yomikawa. Index, Himegami, and Othinus' hair reach their thighs, while Aleister Crawley's hair seems to be as long as he is tall.
* Aion, Chrono, Mary, Rizelle, Satella, and Florette/[[spoiler:Fiore]] in flashbacks in ''Manga/ChronoCrusade''. (Chrono's hair has part of it cut short in the back, but he still has enough long hair to have a braid that goes down past his knees.) With that many characters, you could probably argue that Daisuke Moriyama has [[AuthorAppeal a thing]] for flowing, dramatic hair.
* Creator/{{Clamp}} seems to have a fondness for this trope:
** ''Manga/CardcaptorSakura'' has Yue, who's hair, even braided, trails a good two feet behind him on the floor.
** Tomoyo from the same series has hair that reaches her waist. It's explained that Tomoyo's mother convinced her to let her hair grow out because it reminded her of Sakura's [[MissingMom late mother]].
** There's also Syaoran's mother Yelan[[note]]A CanonForeigner who was invented just for the anime. She only appears in the first movie. In the manga, outside of Kero-chan referring to "the Li family", Syaoran's mother is never mentioned directly, nor are any other members of his family, for that matter (his cousin Meiling was also invented for the anime).[[/note]], whose hair reaches her hips even when held up in a high ponytail.
** Yuuko in ''Anime/XxxHolic'' has hair that reaches her knees. Yuuko's assistant Maru fits the trope even better, her hair trailing along the floor even while up in pigtails, and Kohane's hair is about as long as Yuuko's, but being a child, she's half Watanuki's height, making it this.
** The twins Yui and [[spoiler:Fai]] had [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Fai_2848.png ankle-length hair as children.]] Justified as [[PoweredByAForsakenChild they weren't anywhere near scissors]].
** The eponymous Manga/{{Kobato}} also has very long hair.
** Not to mention Kurogane's mother, Princess Emeraude, Sakura's mum, and most of the people in ''Manga/RGVeda''.
** Also [[RidiculouslyHumanRobot Chii]] from ''Manga/{{Chobits}}''. It goes almost down to her feet.
** Hatoko Kobayashi, a ''kindergartener'', from ''Manga/AngelicLayer'' has waist-length hair. Also Shirahime and Athena, who are dolls, so it's not so strange.
* When we first see Miata in ''Manga/{{Claymore}}'' she is sitting in a pile of her own hair that appears to go down at least past her ankles, and while it appears to be cut at some point to fall to about her knees it still stays long enough to give her a very WildChild-like appearance.
** Later Agatha, a monstrous enemy monster, takes this to the extreme and combines this with PrehensileHair.
** Come to think of it, Yagi-sensei ''loves'' this trope, and also gives Riful this in her Awakened form with long hair that looks like tentacles.
* ''Anime/CodeGeass'':
** V.V. is a cute boy with hair that nearly touches the floor when he's standing. [[Creator/{{CLAMP}} Guess who designed these characters...]]
** Princesses Euphemia and Nunnally also have this (which makes Euphemia's PaperThinDisguise habit sort of glaring, considering hers is also ''bright pink''). And though he wears it in those infamous rolls at the time of the series, Emperor Charles used to have his hair at least past his waist, similar to his daughter Nunnally's style.
** Li Xingke, as well. He ties it in a ponytail when he pilots his knightmare.
** In ''Anime/CodeGeassAkitoTheExiled'', there's Shin Hyuga Shaing, Leila Malcal, and Anna Clement. Shin and Leila might qualify as the "nobility" version, though Leila doesn't seem the type to have servants brushing her hair for her. Anna Clement, though, is a military scientist, putting her in the category of, "Why? Because Creator/{{CLAMP}}." When she and Leila stand next to each other, seen from behind, they look like just a huge mass of hair that's as wide as they are tall.
* ''Manga/{{Daimos}}'': Richter's hair trails just a little bit near his ankles. It's even longer than those of the women in the show!
* Marcille from ''Manga/DeliciousInDungeon'' has hair that hangs below her waist. Apparently maintaining it well is key to being a good mage.
* Both Chikane and Himeko of ''Manga/DestinyOfTheShrineMaiden'' have extremely long hair. Tsubasa is a male example.
* ''Manga/DemonSlayerKimetsuNoYaiba'' is notorious for this. Nezuko, Daki, Mitsuri, and Kanae have very long hair past their waists.
* ''Manga/DGrayMan'': Kanda, even done up in his usual ponytail, and [[http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/gg115/Vadamerca/DGrayMan/jasdevi.jpg Jasdevi.]]
* Krad from ''Manga/DNAngel'', anyone? His blonde ponytail is easily longer than he is-this is noticeable when he flies and his hair has to catch up with him. It's also very, very pretty...
* ''Manga/DragonBallZ''. At Super Saiyan 3, [[PowerMakesYourHairGrow hair grows out to this]] (see that page's image). Considering Raditz's hair is already down past his knees normally, [[UpToEleven how long would it be if he managed to get to SSJ3 (assuming it would grow longer)?]]
** Nappa is the only confirmed exception, especially compared to Time Patrollers in Xenoverse 2 who are bald themselves. The Time Patrollers get the form's iconic hair indicating their baldness is due to shaved heads, whereas Nappa doesn't get it as his baldness is natural due to his age.
* ''Anime/DuelMasters'' has Hakuoh, whose long, flowing locks contribute to making him [[{{Bishonen}} one of the bishiest bishies ever.]] But even ''his'' hair has nothing on Kokujo's, which reaches down to around his ankles and could double as a second cape. The GagDub [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] this with a complaint from Kokujo that his rematch with Shobu caused him to miss an appointment with his hairdresser.
* ''Dvine [LUV]'' has three characters fitting this trope: Mia, Sakura, and Youra, though the latter gets her hair cut.
* In the ending of ''Anime/EurekaSeven'' movie, Eureka's hair mysteriously grown very long, up to her hips. It's the longest version of her hair that was seen compared to the TV episode 30 flashback version of herself.
* The Faeries in the {{manga}} ''Manga/FaeriesLanding'' have very long hair, and, at one point, the main heroine Fanta sacrifices a few inches of it to help her love interest, commenting that she's a bit sad to get rid of it because it was from the time she spent with her human father.
* Several females in ''Manga/FairyTail'' have waist-length hair: Erza Scarlett, Mirajane Strauss, Cana Alberona, Evergreen, Ultear, Sherry Blendy, Angel (post-timeskip), Merudy (post-timeskip), Jenny Realight, Lucy (post second timeskip), and Kagura Mikazuchi. Wendy's hair goes all the way to her hips even on twin tails. Irene Berserion's hair goes past her waist even when braided, and Mavis Vermillion's goes all the way to her feet. [[LongHairedPrettyBoy Freed's]] hair goes all the way to his waist, while minor villain Vidaldus' hair can grow a lot as part of his magic.
-->'''Lucy:''' [[LampshadeHanging "That's some long hair!"]]
* ''Manga/FruitsBasket'':
** Izusu Sohma, [[spoiler: until Akito [[TraumaticHaircut hacks it off]].]] {{Justified|Trope}} as [[WordofGod Natsuki Takaya]] originally wanted Isuzu to have short hair. However, being the horse of the Chinese Zodiac, it made more sense for her hair to be long and flowing like a horse's.
** Motoko Minagawa from the Prince Yuki Fan Club has long waist-length hair too.
** Ren Sohma also has super long hair. [[spoiler: Consider [[EvilMatriarch her]] [[AbusiveParents status]] to Akito, no wonder she hacked off Izusu's hair once she pissed her off enough.]]
* ''Manga/FushigiYuugi'' has four male examples: [[SoBeautifulItsACurse Hotohori]], [[WholesomeCrossdresser Nuriko]], [[DepravedHomosexual Tomo]], and Tenkou. As for women, [[DarkChick Soi]] has ''extremely'' long hair that almost reaches the ground [[SlipknotPonytail when it's loose]].
* Kazuki in ''Manga/GetBackers'' varies. Sometimes it looks floor-length, especially in the anime, but the manga artist usually draws it as roughly hip-length, unless it needs to flutter dramatically. The anime version also draws it to be very thick, with a ponytail about the same circumference as his neck. Sakura, Hevn, Kaoru Haruki, and, in some shots, Madoka all have waist-length hair.
* ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing'' has Dorothy Catalonia and Duo Maxwell tied for longest hair (at below-the-butt length), but Dorothy's is more noticeable because Duo always has his braided. Relena and Zechs deserve special mention, their hair reaching the small of their backs; in their case, it seems to run in the family, since the few images we see of King Peacecraft show him with hair just as long as his children.
** Princess Marina Ismail in ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam00'', although the animators can't decide if it's butt-length or much longer.
* ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya'':
** Tsuruya has, in some official artwork, ankle-length hair. From the novels, Kuyou Suou also has very long (and full-bodied) hair. [[http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/images/2/2c/Sh_v09_illust_003.jpg We don't think you'll have any problem discerning why.]]
** And also, Haruhi herself at the very beginning of the series [[spoiler:(and in ''Disappearance'')]], when she's a (bigger) {{Jerkass}} who hasn't gotten to know Kyon yet.
* Akuram, the BigBad from ''VideoGame/HarukanaruTokiNoNakaDe'', normally has hair held up by his MaskOfPower, but once the mask is removed, his hair goes well past his waist, and in the anime, past his knees. When a live-action stage play based on the franchise included the character... let's just say comparisons to [[Series/TheAddamsFamily Cousin Itt]] were made by Western fandom.
** There's also Fuji-hime with floor-length hair, but this is justified by the series' [[FantasyCounterpartCulture (pseudo-)]][[JidaiGeki historical]] setting. A couple of female background characters also fit this trope for the same reason.
** The Miko from the third series, Nozomi, also fits this trope.
* Several girls of ''Manga/HayateTheCombatButler'' have extremely long hair, to where the standard length seems to reach their knees, and most of those that have shorter hair are depicted as more [[{{moe}} childish]]. Given that most of them are {{Ojou}}s, it's explainable, but Hinagiku is depicted as having her long hair even while her parents are dealing with a large debt, and it's ''her'' hair that gets commented on.
* ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}'' has a male case in Pip Bernadotte; the man uses his hair as a scarf just to keep it out of the way. Rip Van Winkle also falls under this trope.
** Integra's hair falls down past her rear and is a very light shade of blond to boot.
** Alucard's hair grows pretty long when he releases his seals.
* Rias from ''LightNovel/HighSchoolDXD'' may have hip-length crimson hair, but Akeno's black hair reaches her legs, even in a ponytail. Asia, Rossweisse, Irina, Serafall, and Tsubaki also have pretty long hair.
* ''Manga/HighschoolOfTheDead'': Saya's hair is so incredibly long, that it still falls well past her waist [[MegaTwinTails despite wearing it in pigtails.]] When she undoes them, her hair reaches halfway down her legs.
* Fujiwara no Sai of ''Manga/HikaruNoGo''. Justified because he's a spirit from the Heian Period, when ''everyone'' in the nobility was expected to keep their hair very long (see "Real Life", below).
* [[NoNameGiven The main character]] of ''LightNovel/HumanityHasDeclined'' has this. It makes sense after it was grown back with [[ACMEProducts Fairy Co.]] hair tonic [[spoiler:gaining sentience in the process]], but it was shown to be the same length before.
* Kanu in ''Manga/IkkiTousen'' has hair that goes down to about her calves, as a reference to [[Literature/RomanceOfTheThreeKingdoms Guan Yu]], who was famed for his long beard.
** The other Three Kingdoms gender flip ''VisualNovel/KoihimeMusou'' does the same thing for the same reason.
* ''Manga/{{Inuyasha}}'':
** In the manga, Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha have flowing waist-length hair. In the anime, however, Sesshoumaru's hair is often drawn knee-length ''or even longer''. Sesshoumaru also has a ruff of shoulder fur that is so long it wraps around his left shoulder, flows down his back, and trails across the ground behind him like an excessively long tail. When he transforms into a dog, it correlates a neck ruff of extra-long fur that forms a diagonal line across his left shoulder to his back.
** Kikyou's hair reaches her hips when it's let down. In fact, many female (and male) characters have long hair, it being the Feudal Era and all.
* Sera and Yuu from ''LightNovel/IsThisAZombie'' the former past her knees and the latter even past that.
* Cecile Sue and Queenie Yoh from ''Anime/JuushinkiPandora'' both have hair that reaches their waist. In the episode Queenie briefly acts as Cecile's BodyDouble, she (probably) wore a wig as long as her normal hair.
* ''Anime/{{K}}'''s Adolf K. Weismann has hair far past waist length. Most likely because he [[AllPowerfulBystander doesn't]] [[DespairEventHorizon care]] anymore enough to cut it (though he does takes proper care of his appearance, and doesn't look unkempt). It is the one this about the appearance that has changed since [[CompleteImmortality he became the Silver King]] in the 1940s. [[spoiler: At the end of season 2, when he returns to his true body, he cuts it back to the style he had before he became immortal.]]
* Kuroe Akaishi from ''Manga/KaijuGirlCaramelise'' tends to wear her hair with two long strands dangling almost to the ground. She also has ExpressiveHair in the form of two tufts that [[MorphicResonance resemble]] the horns she has when she [[InvoluntaryShapeshifting transforms]] into [[{{Kaiju}} Harugon]]. In fact, her hair can double as GodivaHair when she turns back human, as her transformation always [[ShapeshiftingExcludesClothing shreds her clothes]].
* Leon Oswald of ''Anime/KaleidoStar'' has waist-length grey-platinum hair, which (improbably) he never seems to restrain, even when performing ''on trapeze''.
* Kazusa from ''Manga/KamichamaKarin'' has hair that goes to her ankles. When she transforms, the whole thing gets put up in a single, huge bun on the back of her head.
* In ''Anime/{{Kamichu}}'', Yurie's hair grows longer than her height when she is exercising her most powerful divine powers, so it can become subject to a lot of DramaticWind. It becomes short again when she returns to normal.
* Togame of ''LightNovel/{{Katanagatari}}'' has extremely long hair, to the point where it's often wrapped ''several times'' around her traveling partner. While not as long as togame Meisai, Konayuki and a lot of other characters also have them. This is a series where very long hair is common for both [[LongHairedPrettyBoy men]] and women.
* Shigure from ''Manga/KenichiTheMightiestDisciple'' when let her hair down comes down to her hips.
* All three of the main girls in ''Kodomo no Jikan'' have hair as long as they are tall, which gets {{lampshaded}} in one of the manga specials.
* Mugi, Mio, and Sawako from ''Manga/KOn'' have very long hair, which is often used for [[GodivaHair purposes of censorship]]. Azusa however trounces them all, with her high twin tails reaching her ''thighs''.
* A male example, from ''Manga/KotaroMakaritoru'': Kotaro has waist-length hair that he tightens into a ponytail. [[NobodyTouchesTheHair And he REFUSES to let anyone cut it.]]
* Sanae from ''LightNovel/LoveChunibyoAndOtherDelusions'' sports those, which she tied up into pigtails and tied weighted bags to act as improvised [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolas bolas,]] that, up until now, [[EpicFail have only worked on herself]].
* ''Manga/LoveHina'':
** Naru and Motoko both have waist-length hair. So does Mutsumi, although it's harder to tell with her since she rarely undoes her thick braid.
** Late in the manga, though, [[spoiler:Motoko [[ImportantHaircut gives herself a pixie cut]] after [[TraumaticHaircut suffering a final dishonour in front of her sister]]. It's short for the rest of the main story. In the DistantFinale, she's grown it back out, but it's still not as long as it was before.]]
** [[spoiler:Shinobu has short hair for the entire main story, but by the DistantFinale she's grown it out to waist length [[SheIsAllGrownUp (one of many things about her that's grown in the intervening years)]].]]
* ''Franchise/LoveLive'':
** Umi, Nozomi and Kotori of ''Franchise/LoveLive''. Nozomi even says in School Idol Festival that [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=8&v=TbVL57BFBDY if she could be a princess in a fairy tale, she would be Rapunzel]]
** In ''Anime/LoveLiveSunshine'', there's Riko, Kanan (who also has a Rapunzel-themed card in SIF just like Nozomi), and Dia. Other long-haired girls in Aqours such as Yoshiko and Hanamaru doesn't count since their hairstyles didn't even reach their waist. Also, Mari's hair length [[DependingOnTheArtist varies so much]], but the most common is just at medium length.
* From the ''Anime/LuckyStar'' anime, Konata's hair appears to be of variable length: sometimes it seems like it's about knee-length, and sometimes ankle-length. In fact, other than Ayano's waist-length hair, all the other "long-haired" characters (Kagami, Miyuki, Hiyori) have hair down past their hips, though this may just be a consequence of the PuniPlush art style. Although Konata's hair is as long in the manga, Kagami's hair is chest-length and Miyuki's is waist-length.
* ''Anime/{{Macross}}'':
** ''Anime/MacrossFrontier'''s [[DudeLooksLikeALady Alto]] actually has this--there's a scene where he lets it down and it's waist length. Not surprising considering he comes from a family of kabuki actors.
** ''Anime/MacrossDelta'''s Mikumo has hair that reaches well below her knees. Yeah, she's an IdolSinger, but one who often performs right on the battlefield.
* By ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaStrikers'', Fate's hair is down past her hips and is tied off with a spiffy black bow, presumably to keep it from getting caught in things. Post-season, Teana also wears her hair this way, having gotten rid of her GirlishPigtails.
* The mermaid/idol forms of ''everyone'' in ''Manga/MermaidMelodyPichiPichiPitch''. It shrinks to a manageable length in their human forms.
* ''Anime/MonColleKnights'' is rife with this, most girls/bishonen have hair at least to the hips, and five have it down to the ground.
* ''Manga/MyBrideIsAMermaid'': Sun Seto's hair reaches her hips.
* ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'':
** Tsuyu's hair reaches her butt despite tying a couple feet of it into a bow. This works against her in the Training Camp Arc when Toga pins her hair to a tree with one of her knives.
** Pro Hero and resident rabbit lady Mirko sports wild white locks which smother her deep tanned skin and travel to her thighs. Attention is given to her especially by Horikoshi and the show's animators who make sure she and her hair never stay still.
** The show features at least three examples of prehensile hair - Class 1B's Ibara Shiozaki whose hair is a nest of extendable vines, usually kept at mid-back length; Shiketsu High's Naganasa Mura who looks like a walking shag pile even before her extends it, and Movie Villain Kiruka Hasaki or 'Slice', whose very long and 'sharp' red hair is where her namesake comes from.
** But for others in the show, it is simply a symbol of their character, like with teacher Midnight whose jet black mane quills out in a wide fan of voluminous pointed layers that smothers her entire back and ass, in a classic dominatrix style.
** Nejire Hado of the big three is a similar case. To match her spiral motif her hair has a natural swirl, and is at least knee-length in order to demonstrate. Long enough that in one scene her whole midriff is wrapped up in it when she's just out of bed. Its natural outward swirling direction also makes it wide, giving her hair an impressive amount of presence at all times. Plus she's able to fly, so it's shown blustering a lot.
* ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'':
** In a series not known for its gorgeous hair, Tsunade and her surprisingly long pigtails, Ino and Inoichi Yamanaka's identical blonde topknots, and Neji's ponytail deserve a mention (which was so long ''it was used as a medium to channel [[HealingHands medical ninjutsu]] through'') in this section.
** The Fifth Mizukage, who has hair down to her ankles... even when it's in a top knot!
** And Kushina, Naruto's mother, has red hair that goes down to her ankles. In fact, she was once able to make a trail when she had her hands tied by draping her hair over her tied hands and nonchalantly pulling some of it off to leave on the ground.
** By the time ''The Last'' comes about, Hinata's hair had grown slightly past waist-length. This is ''only'' in ''The Last'' however, as her Part I and Part II hairstyles are too short to fit the mold, and she's cut her hair down to a bob in ''Boruto''.
** Hanzo's hair is about waist-length, which along with his cap gives it an unfortunate resemblance [[EightiesHair to something you might see on a stereotypical hair-band member]]. Ironically, it was much ''shorter'' when he was younger.
** Mifune's hair is close to waist-length and spread out to a magnificent mane from shifting around in one panel.
** Kakuzu also has this, his hair reaching at least to his waist when his mask was removed.
** Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju both have waist-length hair.
** [[spoiler:Princess Kaguya though makes all of the above look like chumps. Her hair is ''twice as long as she is tall''. As in, she floats a meter or two above ground, and her hair still touches the surface.]]
* ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'' has a number of characters with waist-length or longer hair. The more eastern-stylized characters often have {{Hime Cut}}s, while more western characters fit this. An odd example is Kaede, who reveals hair that reaches long enough to trail on the ground when Chao removes her hairband.
** In an isolated incident, short-haired Ako decides that she should grow her hair out so she'll be more attractive. She receives help from a denizen of the [[MagicalLand Magic World]] who gives her some magic hair growth medicine. It works like a charm... for about 2 minutes. Then it goes too far in the other direction.
* Chitoge in ''Manga/{{Nisekoi}}'' may not be quite as extreme as some other examples here, but her slightly-longer-than-waist-length hair does stand out against the undoubtedly more realistic take on hair this series uses. Not to mention that it's also very wide, forming roughly a pear-shaped silhouette when viewed from the front.
* Tsumiki Miniwa from ''Manga/PlaceToPlace''. Due to her height, Tsumiki's hair practically sweeps the floor.
* ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'':
** Daisy and Violet make their living swimming and have hair past their waists. It would seem their ability/willingness to keep it in any kind of style at all is a sign of their girlish personalities. Their less girlish sister Misty demonstrably has this in some episodes, too, although nobody's quite sure how.
** Then there is Jessie with her giant... horn thing, which goes down to her waist and ''never moves''. Presumably all the hair gel needed to hold it in place makes her hair even heavier.
*** She finally lets it down in "Shield with a Twist", after 568 episodes. ''[[http://www.pokemopolis.com/pics/eps/dimension/shield04.gif Wow.]]''
** Roxanne arguably could fall into this category with her two waist-length twin tails.
** There's also Cynthia with hair that goes past her knees. When she's sat down the last foot of her hair is beside or behind her on whatever she's sat on.
** Gen III's Frontier Brain Lucy is a similar case, but with thigh-length black hair and large side bangs with crimson highlights.
** Iris goes UpToEleven by sporting what can be adequately described as a violet Wailord fin on her head. It's big enough to fit her ''Axew'' inside! [[spoiler:And it only becomes longer when she's a champion]]
** Korrina is depicted this way too. When not bound, her hair falls to the back of her knees.
** As is her fellow Kalos Gym leader Valerie, with her own knee-length black tresses.
** Chloe's hair, when untied, is shown to drop past her knees. [[AppearanceAngst But she will never let you see her like that if she can avoid it]].
** Jasmine has quite the curtain of brown hair behind her, too. It goes past her waist, and sometimes it reaches her butt. It not only has a large length but a pretty decent volume as well, as demonstrated in the episode "Nerves of Steelix": when Magnemite is thrown all the way back to the gym wall, Jasmine's hair is completely blown around, giving quite the show, even if briefly.
* ''Manga/PokemonAdventures'':
** Yellow's hair goes past her waist, and that's with it tied up in a high ponytail.
** Green seems to possess varying hair lengths after the beginning of the ''[=FireRed/LeafGreen=]'' chapter, depending on the panel. Prior to ''[=FireRed/LeafGreen=]'' it sits comfortably at shoulder length, but then lengthens considerably to fit her new design, sometimes appearing to fall down past the bottom of her skirt, especially [[http://www.mangapanda.com/pokemon-adventures/282/8 here]], to stunning effect.
** White's hair also goes past her waist with her humongous ponytail down.
** Winona is given the chance in the manga to let her long lilac ponytail down on several occasions, to show that it falls below her waist when loose. [[spoiler:Small wonder Wallace is hooked on her]]
** Sabrina's manga incarnation outmatches her anime counterpart's waist-length locks with black, almost serpentine hair, which reaches her ankles and only grows more lustrous with the improvement in art style.
* The DarkMagicalGirl in ''Anime/{{Pretear}}'' has long, flowing black hair. This seems to be magically induced, since [[spoiler:her true form, Takako, has hair in a more manageable length]]. One of Himeno's step-sisters also has long, flowing pink hair, and Hayate's hair reaches his waist.
* Many of the characters in the ''Anime/PrettyCure'' franchise have long hair. Funny thing is that, as normal civilians, it's rare to see the girls with incredibly long hair (the longest one being [[Anime/HeartcatchPrettyCure Tsubomi]], whose hair reaches past her waist when not up in pigtails), but once transformed, all bets are off. The exceptions in Cure form are Cure Black, Cure Bloom, Cure Lemonade, Cure Rouge, Cure Pine, Cure Sunny, Cure Sword, Cure Chocolat, Cure Milky, and Cure Sparkle.
* Ahiru/Duck in ''Anime/PrincessTutu'' has rather long hair in her girl form – even braided, it hangs down far past her waist. In her MagicalGirl form, however, it seems to be tied up or magically cut short.
* ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'':
** Homura and Kyoko, lampshaded in Homura's case. It seems that in the show, hair length is inversely proportional to how happy and girly you are as a character (at least initially).
** [[spoiler:Madoka's goddess form]] has hair so long that it's a production mandate to never show its ends onscreen.
* ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'':
** In the second movie, ''Nihao My Concubine'', girl-type Ranma has ridiculously long hair when she gets all dolled up as a concubine.
** There was also a Story arc in which male Ranma's hair grows uncontrollably because he ate a dragon's whisker at one point (though it only happens for a finite amount of time, and at the end, Cologne confirms that this particular whisker's curse had terminated for good and Ranma's hair is now back to normal).
** On the other hand, Shampoo has waist-length hair that doubles as GodivaHair when she undresses to show her cat curse to Ranma.
** Cologne's hair is longer than she is tall ([[MiniatureSeniorCitizens not that hard]], but still impressive).
* ''Manga/TheQuintessentialQuintuplets'': The Nakano sisters used to have their hair like this as children, but as teenagers, they've all cut it to varied lengths, except Nino who still keeps it past her waist. [[spoiler:She later cuts it too [[ImportantHaircut once she finally decides to let go of the past]] [[LoveEpiphany and accept her feelings for Fuutarou]].]]
* Squalo from ''Manga/Reborn2004'', who swore that he would never cut his hair until Xanxus becomes the next Vongola boss. Seeing as how that's extremely unlikely [[spoiler:he is seen ten years in the future with even [[UpToEleven longer and lustrous hair]].]]
* ''Anime/RevolutionaryGirlUtena'' has several instances of Rapunzel Hair, mostly in the movie, where Juri's hair is incredibly long and Utena's short style turns into a very long wave of curls that seemingly come out of a BagOfHolding. In the TV series, Anthy's usually done-up hair becomes this plus GodivaHair during several of her FanDisservice segments. The movie deliberately pulls a LampshadeHanging with Juri. While fencing, she wears a face-concealing mask that covers her entire head. Upon removing this mask, an enormous mass of curly, radiant hair cascades out, with volume that was ''several times larger'' than Juri's entire head.
* Moka from ''Manga/RosarioPlusVampire'' has hair down to nearly her knees.
* ''Franchise/SailorMoon'':
** The good Galaxia's hair goes one step further and actually changes color from orange to red as it goes down past her shoulders. Some of Creator/NaokoTakeuchi's sketches show it literally going down to her feet, never mind how she manages to do it up in the {{odango}}-style [[GoodHairEvilHair Villainous Hairdo]]... Actually, there are ''tons'' of examples in ''Sailor Moon''.
** In the [[Manga/SailorMoon manga]], pretty much everyone whose hair is not expressly cut short or tied up have this hair by the end. There's even a scene at the end of the first arc after Endymion has been captured by the BigBad ''du jour'' when the Inner Senshi arrive at Usagi's house. She hasn't come out of her room in days and the reason why is because her hair has suddenly grown to twice its previous length, even though she's been cutting it. (Her hair is now matching the hair she wore in her past life as Princess Serenity.)
** Makoto's hair is also pretty long (by normal standards), considering in most artwork it reaches her waist while in a high ponytail and is curly/wavy besides...
** Particularly noteworthy is Mistress 9, whose hair grows so long she can tie her enemies up with it. While it's still attached to her head. Without impeding her mobility. It FILLS THE ENTIRE ROOM. In fact, we can't even see the ends of it.
** Nehellenia's hair does not only reach past the ground, is also very wavy and voluminous, if straightened it could almost rival Mistress 9's.
** Minako's hair goes "just" to her knees when she lets it down, but she's notable because it's implied she takes care of it herself ''without any magic involved'', as shown by her reaction to Usagi's sudden hair growth being to casually grab a pair of scissors, cut it back to the previous length and style it into the usual odango-pigtails style.
* In ''AudioPlay/SaintBeast'', Rey, Luca, Shin, Gai, and Lucifer all have extremely long hairstyles.
* A male example: Dragon Saint Shiryu from ''Manga/SaintSeiya''. Although plenty of Saints and other warriors have waist-length hair, Shiryu's flows down to his ''knees''. The girls generally have short-ish hair that rarely goes lower than armpit level, but Saori and Pandora have much longer hair; so does Shunrei, but she keeps hers in a long braid.
* Lucifer from the ''Anime/SevenMortalSins'', has hip-length blonde hair even when in a ponytail. Leviathan, Asmodeus, Mammon, Satan, and Beelzebub all have waist-length hair as well. The only ones with shorter hair are Belial, Astaroth, and [[TokenHuman Maria]].
* Shana, Margery, and Yuji Sakai (as Snake of the Festival) of ''Anime/ShakuganNoShana'' fall under this trope. Shana's hair is nearly as long as her body.
* Most female characters in ''Anime/ShatteredAngels'' have hair that flows lower than their backside.
* Mashiro Rima from ''Manga/ShugoChara''. Her hair nearly touches the ground when she stands. Quite fittingly, she prefers to walk slowly, even when hunting X-Eggs, where she often just stands in one place while her juggling sticks do the rest.
* Gourry, Sylphiel, Naga, and Millina of ''LightNovel/{{Slayers}}'', as well as Filia from the anime (in her human form). Sylphiel's is of the HimeCut variety, while Millina keeps hers in a ponytail. Gourry is an odd case because he's the [[TheBigGuy hard-hitting swordsman]] who can't cast magic, so it would seem impractical to have all of that blonde hair flowing out while sword fighting…
* ''LightNovel/SoICantPlayH'': Lisara and her cousin, Quelle, both have hair that exceeds half their body lengths. Episode 11, in particular, includes a scene of Lisara lying on her stomach, to show that her hair extends halfway down her legs and covers most of her back.
* ''Manga/SoulHunter'' has a few examples. Dakki's hair nearly reaches her feet, Kouyuuken has knee-length hair, and Ryuukitsu Koushu's have slightly longer than knee-length hair.
* ''Anime/StarDriver'':
** Kanako, whose green hair reaches past her butt.
** The series also has a male example, although it's hard to see--Shingo used to have reasonable long hair (just a bit past shoulder length) in his past, but apparently nobody tended to it during his 15 year-long coma, resulting in it having grown so much that it reaches his thighs. Due to his [[ConvenientComa situation]], it's hardly ever visible, though, as there's just one scene that shows him without the covers of his hospital bed.
* Almost everyone in ''LightNovel/TheStoryOfSaiunkoku''. Even the men. '''Especially''' the men. The only exceptions are the cute boy Eigetsu and his LoveInterest Korin, and they're well on their way, as he usually ties his up in a ponytail and, though we never see it down, hers is long enough to pin up elaborately.
** It makes historical sense, at least, since most of the characters are nobles.
* Ai, Scar, and Ulla from ''LightNovel/SundayWithoutGod'' all have hair that goes past their hips. [[CompressedHair Yet Ai in particular somehow still manages to fit all her hair underneath her gravekeeper hat.]]
* Tsubasa Kazanari from ''Anime/{{Symphogear}}'' has a waist-length side ponytail. Maria Cadenzavna Eve's hair on the other hand probably reaches her hips. The hair of Chris Yukine reaches her thighs, and Saint-Germain's hair is probably as long as Maria's but even thicker.
* Most of the characters in ''Anime/TenchiMuyo'' have long hair. A large majority of them being Juraians (and royal ones at that), it's more or less a custom to have long hair and to be either tied back or put up in ponytails. It's even more telling when Washu, Ayeka, and Sasami must put their hair up just to go into the hot springs or even sleep. The goddess Tsunami has the longest hair, since it reaches the floor and goes on a few feet.
* Yoko from ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' has pretty long hair, and in TheMovie she takes off the hairpins to [[spoiler:pull a gun out of her hair]]. Nia post-timeskip also qualifies.
* Aya and Maya Natsume in ''Manga/TenjhoTenge''. Aya could probably trip on them.
* A {{deconstruction}}, in ''Manga/TheSeveringCrimeEdge''. Mushiyanokouji Iwai, the "hair queen" had her hair cursed. It cannot be cut by any means. That leads her to quit schooling, and well, the inconveniences of having hair '''that long'''. Fortunately, Kiri's scissor is a cursed "Killing Goods" and [[ImportantHaircut cut Iwai's hair really short]] at the end of the first chapter, but her hair grows back to its original length in a span of a night.
* Evil male example: Deep Blue from ''Manga/TokyoMewMew'' somehow manages it despite [[spoiler:[[BrainwashedAndCrazy possessing]] the MysteriousProtector, who has normal short hair in his regular form and a mid-back-length ponytail otherwise.]]
* Abel Nightroad, Hugue de Watteau, and Isaak von Kampher from ''Manga/TrinityBlood'' certainly fit this trope! Whilst Abel and Hugue at least attempt to restrain their lovely locks, Isaak just lets his easily floor-length (and he's tall, so that's a lot of hair!) barnet wreak havoc on humanity. Or vampiremanity.
* Koinzell from ''Manga/UbelBlatt'' has his in two long braids down past his thighs, with ''knives'' at the ends. Occasionally he uses the knives when he can't find a sword or can't use his blood blades.
* Mirei Shikishima from ''Anime/ValkyrieDriveMermaid'' has hair so long it touches the ground. Momoka's hair also goes past her waist ''[[MegaTwintails in twintails!]]''
* ''Anime/VariableGeo'': Yuka typically fashion hers into a ponytail, yet it's still long enough to fall [[http://img2.gelbooru.com/images/d6/01/d601fca57e29e95744daac3fb742b7ed.png past her buttocks]] and covers most of her back. But you only get to see its true length ''and volume'' when she unfastens her hair ribbon... it spills out like a curtain and nearly reaches her feet!
* Another male example: Clari of ''Manga/ViolinistOfHameln'' has glossy blond hair of incredible fullness and volume... and it reaches his ''ankles''. To make this even more ridiculous, he participates in massive melee battles with it down.
* Hamona from ''Anime/WolfsRain'' fits this trope. As does [[spoiler:her older sister, Jaguara.]] In Hamona's case, it also doubles as a strange case of GodivaHair.
* [[Manga/YotsubaTo Yotsuba]] very much believes this. When she starts going through her "princess phase", she decides to tie lengths of twine to her AnimeHair so it appears longer (long enough to drag on the floor). Her father doesn't get it, but Asagi instantly understands what she's trying to do, and makes her a dress out of garbage bags so she can play Princess better.
* Yuusuke from ''Manga/YuYuHakusho'' grows very wild, knee-length hair when [[spoiler:his demonic heritage is activated and he transforms into his Toushin form]]. Kurama's waist-length hair is a milder example, but he's able to wield his Rose Whip with it.
* Prozen from ''Anime/ZoidsChaoticCentury'' has hair that goes down to his knees.
* Several of the Invaders of Corona House 106 from ''LightNovel/InvadersOfTheRokujyouma''. In order from shortest to longest: Harumi and Clan(waist), Yurika(mid-thigh even up in pigtails), Theia (knee), and Kiriha (ankle).

[[folder:Asian Animation]]
* In ''Animation/HappyHeroes'', Sad S. has a feminine personality in the form of being kind and sweet, but very emotional and ProneToTears. Her hair reaches down to her ankles.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Comic Books]]
* ''ComicBook/{{Asterix}}'': In ''Recap/AsterixAndTheGriffin'', the Sarmatian ladies all have quite long heads of hair. For the one captured by the Romans, it reaches all the way down to her ''ankles''.
* If it weren't for Rapunzel, the characters in ''ComicBook/ADistantSoil'' would be the TropeNamer. Apparently, it's an Ovanian custom to have ''ungodly'' long hair, sometimes floor-length or even longer, and often elaborately styled. According to [[WordOfGod Colleen Duran]], their nobles use this to show status, that they can afford the servants needed to maintain the coiffures in question.
* Winnowill from ''ComicBook/ElfQuest'' has a mane of ultrafine ebony hair that exceeds ankle-length by several feet and trails after her on the floor (she typically carries it draped elegantly over one arm, to make it easier to manage), as does the minor character Newstar after a point. Clearbrook's braid, at its full length, extends to her knees by Shards. And Timmain's hair also doubles as GodivaHair on several occasions. In all these cases the extreme length is made much more plausible by the character's very long lifespans -- Winnowill is ''thousands'' of years old; plenty of time to grow her hair any length she likes.
* Rapunzel when she appeared in ''{{ComicBook/Fables}}''. Because she was cursed, she couldn't stay in place around the mundies for too long and had a rather modern twist to her curse... her hair was cut several times a day, then donated to a wig factory; and the people there thought she was a colony of Amish girls. It proved to be quite an interesting case of BlessedWithSuck. Rapunzel makes quite a lot of money selling her hair, she makes three sets of hair several feet in length a day that are completely undamaged from wear and tear or cosmetics. Unfortunately she can barely enjoy her fortune since she's not allowed to be in the normal world for more than three hours at a time and cannot stay in the same place for more than an hour.
* In ''VideoGame/InfiniteCrisis: Fight for the Multiverse'', Arcane-Earth Comicbook/{{Supergirl}} is an elflike being with Rapunzel Hair that starts off blonde and slowly fades to red. Not red-hair red, bright primary red, to create the effect of regular Supergirl's cape.
* In ''ComicBook/{{Noob}}'', Couette's hair easily touches the ground if she happens to be sitting on it. She gets away with it by only doing it for her gaming avatar and having her hair (presumably) shoulder-length while still wearing her trademark GirlishPigtails in real life.
* ''ComicBook/RapunzelsRevenge''. Rapunzel in the Wild West, using her plait [[ImprobableWeaponUser as a lasso]].
* ComicBook/{{Starfire}} of the ''Comicbook/TeenTitans'' comic book. To put it mildly. It's [[http://www.titanstower.com/source/whoswho/starfire.html frequently portrayed]] as not so much ''ending'', as extending past the panel border and/or merging into a sort of rocket exhaust when she flies. It's shorter in [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans the TV cartoon]].
* Medusa of ''ComicBook/TheInhumans'' has extremely long prehensile hair that she can use as a weapon.
* Malekith the Accursed, from ''[[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Thor]]''. Towheaded [[TheFairFolk dark elf]] who looks like the In-Betweener in [[VillainousCrossdresser drag]]. Has more yards of hair than most women in Marveldom with the possible exception of Medusa. One has to wonder how many times he's gotten stuck on a tree or a telephone pole while flying and why he even bothers with pouches when his bouffant could easily double as a bag of holding.
* ''ComicBook/XMen'':
** ComicBook/JeanGrey had hair like this in the late eighties and the nineties, but once those RunningTheAsylum came in, her hair grew short again.
** ComicBook/{{Storm}} had ridiculously long hair for someone living in the African wilderness and constantly standing in the wind/being rained upon. In the Joe Madureira era, she had a large mop of hair on her head which reached the floor but wasn't straight (and mostly GodivaHair like in the '80s) but a large mop that looked like it had a life of its own and... quite heavy. She killed Marrow nonetheless.
** ComicBook/{{Rogue}} also had very long hair in the mid-nineties and the eighties.
* ''Franchise/WonderWoman'':
** ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1942'': The ends of Queen Atomia's wavy red hair reach past her hips.
** ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1987'': ComicBook/{{Artemis}}, from ''ComicBook/WonderWoman'', has a more than floor-length ponytail. It is [[DramaticWind always blown around]] so as to never touch the ground, whether or not anything else in the scene shows the effects of wind. Her ComicBook/DCRebirth iteration also has a long ponytail, but not one she's in danger of tripping on.
* ''ComicBook/RelativeHeroes'': Allure's supernaturally tangle free hair reaches mid to low thigh as an extension of her femininity enhancing "charm" and when she's consciously using her powers it moves as though there's a nice dramatic wind that somehow prevents it from getting in her face regardless of any actual breeze in the vicinity.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Comic Strips]]
* Sally from ''ComicStrip/{{Eyebeam}}'' is often portrayed with an indefinitely long jet stream of hair that extends off-panel. Sometimes, it even extends into previous panels.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Fairy Tales]]
* The TropeNamer and (il)logical extreme of this trope is Literature/{{Rapunzel}}, the FairyTale heroine whose hair was the ladder in and out of her prison tower; both the witch who imprisoned her and the prince who loved her used this.
* OlderThanSteam: Other fairy tales that include this hair ladder (which is older than Rapunzel) include ''Literature/SnowWhiteFireRed'' and [[http://www.surlalunefairytales.com/rapunzel/stories/fairang.html The Fair Angiola]]. This type of tale is known as "Maiden in the Tower" and the earliest known version is [[http://www.surlalunefairytales.com/rapunzel/stories/petros.html Petrosinella]], recorded in 1634. Rapunzel Hair is not found outside it in fairy tales, and isn't always found in it. Somehow "Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your knotted hemp rope" doesn't have the same ring.
* While not as extreme as Rapunzel, Princess Toutebelle from "The Yellow Dwarf" has hair that hangs down to her feet.
* In "Mary's Child", the heroine's hair extends to the ground. Since she uses it to protect herself from the elements after her clothes fall apart, it also counts as an example of GodivaHair.
* The heroine of "Literature/TheRoseTree" has beautiful floor-length hair.
* In a Russian fairytale "Golden Hair" an eponymous maiden has hair with length of 10 (and later 20 and even 30) fathoms (70 ft in Imperial measures), made of pure gold to boot.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Fan Works]]
* Fan authors in Franchise/TolkiensLegendarium often create characters with very long hair, especially Elven ones, in keeping with characters that appear both in the original works and in the film adaptations.
** In ''Fanfic/TheAwkwardAdventuresOfMeghanWhimblesby'', when Meghan [[{{Metamorphosis}} becomes an elf]], she suddenly has long wavy hair down to below her waist. Unlike most such characters, Meghan has trouble with her hair. It gets in her face and in her mouth, and is hard to clean and detangle. In chapter 23 "Arrivals", Meghan cuts her hair to about shoulder length.
** In ''Fanfic/TheGameOfTheGods'', at least three of Morgoth's characters have hair down to their ankles.
** In ''Fanfic/TheLastQueenOfGreenwood'', Caradel describes her own hair in chapter 5.
--->''I had washed my hair and tied it up in rags, so that it curled slightly as it cascaded down my back. Although it was shorter than normal, it still reached nearly to the top of my legs.''
* During the Buffy series, Dawn usually had waist-length hair. In the Buffy/Stargate crossover fic ''Fanfic/AllYourBaseAreBelongToHer'', she's been letting it grow out for most of two years, and it's now well past her hips. It's striking enough that it's the first thing Jack notices about her, and Daniel also notes it as he's assembling a mental profile of the mysterious girl who's just appeared in the Gateroom.
* ''FanFic/CastlevaniaNocturneOfRuin'': Stella's hair reaches her waist when let down; Charlotte reflects that she never noticed before because Stella always had her hair up beforehand.
* The Grand Elder from the Homestuck fic ''Fanfic/{{Cultstuck}}'' has hair down to his feet, and he's extremely tall.
* [[WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug Lila Rossi]]'s unusually long hair is a plot point in ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/14792883/chapters/34223034 Fox Rain]]'': it's not only a subtle sign of her wealth (as properly taking care of it is expensive), but also doubles as a way to keep [[FairyCompanion Trixx]] hidden and close to her head, [[spoiler:saving her from [[BigBad Papillon]]'s plot to drive her into villainy because Trixx can immediately calm her down before she can be manipulated]].
* ''Fanfic/{{First Try|Series}}: Team Tetsuo'' [[LampshadeHanging hangs lampshade on this]] with a heavy-hand. Shinobi with long hair didn't wear it for cosmetic effect, but as SchmuckBait for any sucker that tried to grab it during a fight--it brought them into the ninja's InstantDeathRadius, and even if the grab worked, they could counter it perfectly well. As such, long hair worn down became a non-verbal "I'm better than you and I ''know'' it" statement as time went. [[AwesomeButImpractical It also had the exact same problems the trope description above talks about regarding weight, tangling, and upkeep]]. Tetsuo and Naruto make it painfully clear to Sakura during their training trip, in a moment that leads to the fic's version of her ImportantHaircut.
* Charlotte Blanc of the ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'' fic ''Fanfic/TheFrenchMistake'' lets her hair grow down to her waist.
* In the latest of the ''Fanfic/Gensokyo20XX'' series, an age-regressed Reimu's hair is longer than what she is tall and has grown that way because she, apparently, doesn't want anyone to cut it. In one chapter, she uses it as a rope.
* [[{{Seers}} Celestine]] and [[LadyOfBlackMagic Olga]] from ''Fanfic/TheNightUnfurls'' sport this. Fitting for royal figures who delve into the arcane.
* In ''Fanfic/KitsuneNoKenFistOfTheFox'', Sakura has long pink hair that is stated to be her pride and joy. Unfortunately for her, during her fight with Ino in the [[TournamentArc Uchiha Zaibatsu Invitational Tournament]], Ino takes advantage of Sakura's hair length by grabbing it (with the expected pain that follows from such a thing) and holding Sakura in place to give her a beat-down.
* West of the ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' fic ''Fanfic/{{Reconnected}}'' has twin pigtails that reach her waist.
* Deconstructed with Yang in ''Fanfic/RemnantInferisDOOM''. Because of how long her hair is, it makes it very easy to grab in a fight, made all the worse by how she's a close-range fighter. The Slayer forces her to tie it up into a ponytail so as to avoid the issue. Though this doesn't completely fix the problem, as seen in her fight with the Marauder, where she gets grabbed by her hair and tossed around in a form of MetronomicManMashing.
* Felucia Sonsta and Astreal Ezrana of ''Fanfic/RosarioVampireBrightestDarkness'' are both described with long hair. As shown in their official artwork, [[http://lorddaemon785.deviantart.com/art/Astreal-Ezrana-356724224 Astreal's hair]] reaches her waist, while [[http://lorddaemon785.deviantart.com/art/Felucia-Sonsta-Doll-Demon-357193059 Felucia's hair]] reaches her hips.
* In the ''Manga/LuckyStar'' fanfic ''Fanfic/{{Starbound}}'', this is the primary factor that each of twelve Magé Stones look for in a potential host, before [[BeehiveHairdo restyling her hair]] to reside in.
* In the old crossover ''Fanfic/WhatInsertion'', Phibrizzo states that his 'sister' Dolphin's hair was long enough unbound that if she tried walking backwards with it that way, she'd trip and fall. A later chapter elaborates on this, stating that her hair is nine feet in length.
* Creator/VampireMeerkat depicts Edd from ''Ed, Edd, 'n' Eddy'' with hair that goes past his shoulders, though it's always kept underneath his hat. This design in part comes from a gag in one episode that shows that Edd keeps a hairpin underneath his hat. Edd is InTouchWithHisFeminineSide compared to most of the other boys.
* Fanfiction author Fanfic/KhaosOmega takes this UpToEleven with several characters, especially when a spell created by a female who already had this on her debut and a hair product created by the titular Amethyst Angel in her youth are combined.
** Emerald Sustrai has this happen twice. The first one's cause is unknown and hovers between 15 and 20 feet long, while the second debuts with hair at least 56 feet long (the second one is the spell's creator) and with a backstory for it. This second one chose to keep it after meeting not only the first one, but also her mate Jayden Omega (who himself had 15+-foot hair).
** After having the spell employed, Hollie Brazie is shown to possess this trope. By 2678 (when it's revealed the hair product created by Amethyst, her sister-in-law through Jet, is also present) her hair's gotten long enough that she starts wearing her many high heels with less frequency as her hair is past the point where the combo of heels and a ponytail (which she only ever bothered with when in heels) doesn't keep it off the ground.
** Perhaps the most infamous of this trope from Khaos' works is Kandyce Azeat, whose hair is so long she uses a portal to contain its full length. She takes this trope up to an insane multiple of eleven, not helped by a far larger infusion of Amethyst's product than recommended in 2257 (by a then-Main Division Lily) combined with a 2204 deployment of the spell.
*** Her shift to an overall Beta in the Rainbow Angels when her old Series splits off the main harem to become XRX Prime is partly due to her use of an illusion to make it look manageably short; as neither Jet nor Kandyce's replacement as now-XRX Prime's Alpha Blair were in their true form in their first match-up Jet was unable to add a Yu-Gi-Oh card inspired by the TropeNamer to the equation when bringing out an Omega Evolution based on Kandyce.
*** Kandyce temporarily lost the spell when she officially married Anise, before regaining it via an Amethyst who'd life-linked one on Anise's own hair to her.
* ''Fanfic/TheBloodOfTheCovenant'' establishes the Fire Nation worship the Sun Spirit Agni (whose mane is said to be long enough to cover the sky) by letting their hair grow as long as possible. Getting a haircut is for criminals.
** As Kallik refuses to let anyone else but his father cut his hair, he winds up with waist-long tresses -- only for him to grouse about how heavy and cumbersome it feels, and immediately swap to a shoulder-length cut when he's reunited with his dad.
* ''Fanfic/FlagFlyingHigh'' has Harry using a RapidHairGrowth potion to better blend with the locals (everyone is looking at him askew because they believe he has been disowned or committed a crime, since criminals get shorn). As the potion is a mite more concentrated that what he was expecting, his hair grows until it reaches his thighs, to his major annoyance. His love interest thinks he's even more beautiful this way, however.
* ''FanFic/TotalDramaLegacy'': [[{{Hikikomori}} Because she spent most of her life too scared to leave her house]], Katherine hasn't been to a hairdresser in years, and as a result, her hair is very long. Skave even compares her to the TropeNamer in "She Who Lives By the Sword…".

[[folder:Films — Animation]]
* Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon:
** Princess Jasmine from ''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}'' has the longest non-enchanted hair out of all the Disney princesses, almost reaching her ankles.
** WesternAnimation/{{Pocahontas}} has quite long, raven-black hair that reaches to her waist. About fifty different animators were responsible for how it liked to blow around in a DramaticWind.
** True to mythology when ''WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}}'' features Aphrodite, she has the traditional long golden hair. When we get a good look at her in the spin-off TV series, the hair goes just above the ankles.
** Rapunzel from ''WesternAnimation/{{Tangled}}'' has 70 feet of hair! It's to be expected, since she's, you know, [[TropeNamers Rapunzel]].
*** The movie [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome frequently draws attention to]] the difficulty of such long hair. Mother Gothel made a habit of tending to her hair in her youth; "When Will My Life Begin" has a line of Rapunzel having to ''brush and brush and brush and brush [her] hair''; it gets grabbed at in the Snuggly Duckling and stepped on in the Kingdom; a quartet of young girls enlisted to braid it are practically doing acrobatics in the process; and [[spoiler:even braided, it still snags on a log she tries to jump over to escape from the Stabbington Brothers]].
*** This is also one of the cases where it's justified; her hair has magic healing powers that stop working when the lock is cut, so she ''had'' to grow it out. It's also just plain awesome, likely due to its magic properties. It can't be pulled, doesn't fall out, and is extremely strong and light. When the Kingdom of Corona appears in ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIII'', Rapunzel keeps her hair bunched up in her hands [[ImprobableWeaponUser to serve as her weapon]].
* Both Maria and La Muerte, from ''WesternAnimation/TheBookOfLife'', have hair that reaches all the way down to their ankles.
* The Lady Amalthea from ''Film/TheLastUnicorn'' has hair that goes down to her knees.
* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Brave}}'', Merida's hair, curly, reaches just about to her waist. Considering ''how'' curly her hair is, its true length is probably considerably longer. Her mother is a more classic example, as her straight hair, wrapped, reaches to her knees, and when unwrapped is six and a half feet long--that is to say, longer than she is tall!
* In ''Anime/PonyoOnTheCliffByTheSea'', Ponyo's mother has never-ending hair! Even Fujimoto's easily reaches his knees.
* [[TheFairFolk Aisling]] from ''WesternAnimation/TheSecretOfKells'' has long white hair that reaches just past her ankles and drags on the ground when she walks.
* ''WesternAnimation/BarbieAsRapunzel'' naturally, though in this case, her hair is shorter than most adaptations. It just reaches down to the floor, and there's no need for it to be climbed up since she's only in the tower for a couple of days.
* In ''WesternAnimation/EquestriaGirls'', the human counterparts of the main pony characters have hair that grow to resemble ponytails in their MagicalGirl forms. Likewise, the human forms of the princesses -- Celestia, Luna, and Cadance -- all have hair that reaches past their hips.
* The eponymous beard in ''The King's Beard'' is so long it spans throughout the whole kingdom! The citizens all eagerly [[SincerestFormOfFlattery imitate]] by letting their hair grow out as well. The king's unnaturally long hair is due to being cursed [[spoiler:by his twin brother]] to literally never leave the throne he refused to hand over.

[[folder:Films — Live-Action]]
* The BigBad of the first ''Film/TheCrow'' movie had long black hair (worn loose), which is basically AnimeHair in real life.
* Many of Michael Wincott's roles involve long, flowing hair, including ''Film/FourteenNinetyTwoConquestOfParadise''.
* The vaguely {{Yakuza}}-esque poker player in ''Film/CasinoRoyale2006''.
* Princess Leia, when she finally lets her hair down in ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi''. For many viewers, this resulted in a FridgeLogic moment when we contemplated [[CompressedHair how she got all that hair into those hairstyles]] we'd seen in the previous movies. There's a [[https://skepchick.org/2010/07/mythbusting-princess-leias-hair/ webpage]] discussing that her hairstyles would be impossible with that length of hair anyway. There is a photograph of Carrie Fisher wearing her ''Empire Strikes Back'' wig with the braids unwrapped. They are just below waist length ie: about the same length as her hair in ''Return of the Jedi''.
* Three of Creator/CateBlanchett's most famous roles--Galadriel in ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'', Queen Elizabeth I in ''Film/{{Elizabeth}}'', and Lady Marion Loxley in ''Film/RobinHood2010''--have her with hair well past her waist.
* Creator/MonicaBellucci plays a Rapunzel type character with appropriately long hair in ''Film/TheBrothersGrimm''.
* Eva Green sports this hairstyle in a lot of her films such as ''Film/KingdomOfHeaven'', ''Film/TheGoldenCompass'', ''Film/ThreeHundredRiseOfAnEmpire'' and the TV series ''Series/{{Camelot}}''. All are either period or fantasy pieces.
* Creator/EvannaLynch has hair well past her waist as Luna Lovegood in the ''Film/HarryPotter'' films while the character's hair length isn't specified in [[Literature/HarryPotterAndTheOrderOfThePhoenix the]] [[Literature/HarryPotterAndTheHalfBloodPrince bo]][[Literature/HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallows oks]].
* In the Creator/JackieChan film ''Film/TheForbiddenKingdom'' there is a warrior who has extremely long white hair that she uses as a weapon.
* Olivia Hussey in the 1968 ''Film/{{Romeo and Juliet|1968}}'' had waist-length hair. It reportedly inspired a huge number of young women to grow their hair out that long.
* Mika Rottenberg made [[http://www.magasin3.com/mikarottenberg/en/cheese/ a short film called "Cheese"]] loosely based on the real-life Sutherland sisters (see "Real Life" section below) featuring several women with appropriately-long hair.
* ''Film/TheBrideWithWhiteHair'': The titular bride's PrehensileHair stretches for several meters, and can cover entire rooms and caverns. Her hair can also be used as a weapon, having RazorFloss qualifies capable of slicing mooks into pieces.
* Queen Isabella's hair in ''Film/{{Braveheart}}'' is long enough to be spread out like a rug, and when we finally see it in the light, it appears to hang somewhere around her knees. Murrin also has hair past her waist.
* The 80s film ''Tuff Turf'' is remembered for Kim Richards sporting long blonde hair that goes past her hips. Most of the promotional pictures from the film showcase her hair.
* Jane Seymour in ''Film/SinbadAndTheEyeOfTheTiger'' has magnificent hair that is almost long enough for her to sit on.
* Many of the Sioux men in ''Film/DancesWithWolves'' have long hair, although special mention goes to the aptly-named Wind In His Hair. His falls to his waist and is always worn loose.
* ''Film/PlanetOfTheApes1968:'' When Nova sits down, her hair goes down to the rock she's sitting on.
* Ashaki in ''Spears'' has very thick waist-length hair, courtesy of her actress Kaireht Yovera. In her first scene, there are many slow motion shots of her flipping the hair around to show it off.

[[folder:Literature]]
* In the Irish children's novel ''Adam's Starling'', the title character's best friend Niamh is described as having "the longest hair in the class" - which she wears in a braid all the way down to her waist.
* ''Literature/AdrianMole'' describes his girlfriend's sister Poppy as having hair so long that it takes her four hours to wash and dry.
* In the later ''Literature/AnneOfGreenGables'' books, Anne's friend and neighbor Leslie has blonde hair down to her feet, which she keeps pinned up except when she's just washed it.
* One of Pavel Bazhov's stories is about a man who wants to marry a girl with gold Rapunzel Hair. The problem is that 1) It's ''real'' gold hair, and the writer tends to avert HollywoodDensity. 2) Her father is [[ParentalMarriageVeto against their marriage]]. 3) Said father is a demigod serpent with ''literal'' control over all gold. 4) The hair becomes longer with each failed attempt. Therefore, by the end, the guy (stated to be exceptionally strong, but still) has to carry half a ton of weight which is being actively pulled out of his arms.
* ''Literature/TheBible'': Probably King David's son Absalom:
-->Whenever he cut the hair of his head--he used to cut his hair from time\\
to time when it became too heavy for him--he would weigh it, and its weight\\
was two hundred shekels (five pounds) by the royal standard.\\
— '''2 Samuel 14:26'''
* Mishani's literal ankle-length hair in ''Literature/TheBraidedPath''.
* Jerin from ''Literature/ABrothersPrice'' has hair that dangles between his feet when he wears it in a braid. Granted, he is kneeling at the time, but that means his hair is at least thigh length and possibly knee length.
* ''Literature/ChroniclesOfTheKencyrath'': Jame is androgynous, flat chested and skinny. She routinely cross-dresses, and is legally regarded as male on more than one occasion. Her hair is her one feminine feature--she normally keeps it under a cap, but it's "well below her waist," heavy, and "like a rain of blue-shot silk."
* ''Literature/TheChroniclesOfNarnia'': Queen Susan is described as having black hair down to her feet.
* In the ''Literature/{{Distortionverse}}'' series, Veckert Rainer invokes this trope when — after a shower — having to switch the hairdryer to ''tornado mode'' in order to dry it properly:
-->'''Veckert:''' Anyway, I won't lose heart. I open the drawer, take the hairdryer, plug it, activate ''tornado mode''. Yes, ''tornado''! And there's nothing to laugh about! If you had to dry hair as long as mine, you would surely understand what I mean!
* ''Literature/DoctorWhoNewAdventures'': In ''[[Recap/DoctorWhoNewAdventuresLungbarrow Lungbarrow]]'', the Doctor's cousin Innocet has resolved not to cut her hair until she sees daylight again. This results in her having to walk about with 673 years' worth of hair in a colossal plait.
* ''Literature/ElementalMasters'': In ''Literature/FromAHighTower'', Giselle's hair grows very fast, partly due to her [[BlowYouAway Air Magic]], and even more so when under stress. She has to cut it periodically, and by the time she left her home, she had a trunk full of her braids.
* In ''Literature/TheFolkKeeper'', Corinna's hair grows very rapidly. When she stops cutting it to pass as a boy, it soon reaches four feet in length.
* Della in ''Literature/TheGiftOfTheMagi'' has beautiful brown hair that, when unpinned, reaches to her knees. [[ItWasHisSled It doesn't have a happy ending--the hair, that is]].
* In Jane Yolen's ''Literature/GreatAltaSaga'', Jenna and her shadow-sister Skada have braids that go down past their waist. While it's pointed out that this is impractical for warriors, it turns out to be helpful when they [[spoiler:strangle the BigBad with them.]]
* In the Greg Mandel trilogy by Creator/PeterFHamilton, teenage heiress Julia Evans grows her hair long because she's CompensatingForSomething, having been overshadowed by her MsFanservice best friend. She's gained a more confidence by the second novel, but having spent a decade growing her hair to her waist she's not going to get it cut now, especially given that a lot of girls are copying the "Julia Evans hairstyle" now that she's famous. Of course it helps when you're wealthy enough to have your own personal hair stylists.
-->'''Suzi:''' What's she got that I haven't?
-->'''Eleanor:''' Ten trillion pounds and a medieval virgin princess's hairstyle.
* ''Literature/HarryPotter'': Both Dumbledore's hair and WizardBeard are described as being so long that he could easily tuck both of them into his pants.
* In Creator/RobinMcKinley's ''Literature/TheHeroAndTheCrown'', one of the rivalries between Aerin and Galanna is hair length. Galanna's is long enough that she can sit on it, but Aerin's is ankle-length when it's wet.
* An implied literary example is found in the dramatic poem ''The Highwayman'', when Bess, the landlord's daughter, stands at the casement window, leaning over, and her lover stands up on his horse, she lets her hair out and it hits him in the face. (It's a lot more romantic than that, I assure you.)
-->''He rose upright in the stirrups.\\
He scarce could reach her hand,\\
But she loosened her hair in the casement.\\
His face burnt like a brand\\
As the black cascade of perfume\\
came tumbling over his breast;\\
And he kissed its waves in the moonlight,\\
(O, sweet black waves in the moonlight!)\\
Then he tugged at his rein in the moonlight,\\
and galloped away to the west''.
* ''Literature/HonorHarrington'':
** Lieutenant Abigail Hearns, Miss Owens, of the Grayson Space Navy--the first native-born Grayson woman to join the service. Her hair is nearly waist-length and frequently terribly inconvenient, but she simply can't bring herself to cut it; you can take the girl off Grayson but you can't take the Grayson out of the girl, and [[LongHairIsFeminine no respectable Grayson woman would ever cut her hair short]]. Thus, she deals with it as is, no matter how frustrating it sometimes is for her.
** At the beginning of the series, the title character wears her hair shorter than many men, both for practicality of wear in spacesuits and due to [[DarkAndTroubledPast self-esteem issues]]. As her CharacterDevelopment progresses and she integrates into Grayson society, she grows it out.
* In ''Literature/TheHouseOfNight'', many of the vampyres have long, flowing hair due to [[OurVampiresAreDifferent vampyre biology]].
* ''Literature/TheHungerGames'': Twice Annie Cresta's hair is mentioned as voluminous and very long, although the length never specified.
* In ''Literature/LesMiserables'', Fantine's beautiful blonde hair reaches her knees when unpinned. That is until, as with Della in ''Literature/TheGiftOfTheMagi'', poverty drives her to sell it. Most productions of [[Theatre/LesMiserables the musical]] only make it middle back-length or waist-length, though, probably because a knee-length wig would be harder to maintain.
* In the ''Literature/LittleHouseOnThePrairie'' book ''These Happy Golden Years'', Laura Ingalls (Wilder) notes at one point that her hair is down to her knees. In another book in the series, Ma Ingalls notes that when she married Pa, her hair was equally long.
* ''Literature/TheLunarChronicles'': Cress (who is inspired by the trope namer) has hair long enough to get tangled under the wheels of a chair she's sitting in, and to wrap around someone enough to bind them together. That this makes it incredibly heavy and hard to keep tidy is acknowledged, and its length is because she's not allowed access to sharp objects that would let her cut it.
* In Creator/ENesbit's comedic fairy-tale story "Literature/{{Melisande}}", Princess Melisande is cursed at birth to be bald. When she grows up she is given a magical wish, and at the prompting of her mother requests long, lovely, ''fast-growing'' hair. The result is the Rapunzel Hair from hell.
** In Nesbit's ''Enchanted Castle'' Mademoiselle, the French teacher looking after the child protagonists takes down her knee length, raven black hair for the little girls who are immensely impressed. From that moment on they are convinced she is a princess in disguise.
* Fierce gothy-girl Isa, from ''Literature/OnlyEchoesRemain,'' has a magnificent mane of glossy black hair, which, thanks to her magical nature, is ''extremely'' 'shiny and swirly' — to the point where the smallest breeze sometimes makes her grumble about feeling like a living commercial for expensive hair products.
* In one of the ''Literature/{{Papelucho}}'' books, the title character meets his teacher's niece and her hair is like this. [[spoiler: In a misguided attempt to help her, he end up cutting it off. The girl and the teacher are very upset, but later the teacher thanks him as said hair was incredibly hard to handle and keep.]]
* As for Buttercup in ''Literature/ThePrincessBride'', her hair length is never specified, but at eighteen the narration mentions it's never been cut. For most people, that would be butt-length or thigh length. Long enough to sit on.
* Quinn in Dian Curtis Regan's ''Literature/PrincessNevermore'' has hair almost to her feet.
* Susannah, the protagonist of ''Repeat It Today With Tears'' by Anne Peile, has this in the first half of the story. It's never described how long her hair is, but after she chops it all off [[spoiler:after being committed to a mental institution]], it takes five paper bags to dispose of all the hair.
* Creator/JRRTolkien's ''Literature/TheSilmarillion'' had Lúthien magically grow her hair long, in order to use it to escape her elvish father — he had grounded her in a treehouse (there's a pun in there somewhere...) to stop her from following her mortal lover, whom he had sent away to [[EngagementChallenge get rid of him]]. She makes a rope for escaping the treehouse, and a cloak which induces sleep in anyone else it touched. Of course, this leaves her nearly bald until it grows back.
* ''Literature/TheSlowRegardOfSilentThings'': Auri's hair is frequently mentioned. It's very long, voluminous, and untamed, like a silver cloud around her.
* In some parts of the world in the ''Literature/SwordOfTruth'' series, the length and style of a woman's hair is directly related to their status, so the Mother Confessor, the de facto leader and most powerful woman of this region, has very long hair. It's stated to be somewhere slightly above her hips and below the small of her back, and she cannot cut her own hair. It magically gives her great pain, as it does all Confessors.
* ''Literature/TheTaleOfGenji'': Hair down to the ground is the norm in Heian Japan, but Ukifune, the heroine of the final love triangle, has a particularly memorable head of hair. One young man falls desperately in love after one glimpse of its magnificent black cascades.
* Possibly hinted in ''Literature/{{Twilight}}''. Bella listens to a Quileute legend about a pair of vampires. The shapeshifters killed the male, so his mate (described as having knee-length golden hair) comes and attacks the village.
* In María Luisa Bombal's "La Última Niebla" (The last fog), the most striking feature of the unnamed protagonist's sister-in-law Regina is her gorgeous long black hair. [[spoiler: Which is cut off when she tries to commit suicide by shooting herself in the head.]]
* Creator/LoisMcMasterBujold's ''Literature/VorkosiganSaga'': In ''Literature/{{Cetaganda}}'', all the Haut Ladies of the Star Creche have extremely long hair, with a cultural taboo against cutting it. Towards the end of the book, one of them has been restrained by the simple expedient of tying her hair in place. Miles (who has come to rescue her, amongst other things) suggests cutting it and she reacts with horror. He winds up distracting her and cutting it anyway. She is NOT pleased with him.
* ''Literature/WalkTwoMoons'': Sal's hair is long enough to sit on.
* In Alexandre Dumas' ''Literature/TheWomanWithTheVelvetNecklace'', Arsene is described as a tall woman, and her hair doesn't just fall past her hips, it apparently trails on the ground behind her.
* Miss Hardbroom in ''Literature/TheWorstWitch'' series keeps her hair tied up in a really tight bun 24/7 except for the Halloween celebrations, where the girls are amazed that it goes right down to her waist. Mildred remarks that she doesn't look half as frightening when her hair is down.
* Lampshaded by Rapunzel in the Piers Anthony ''Literature/{{Xanth}}'' novels who is, of course, based on the fairy tale of the same name. Her magic talent is her ability to grow her hair to exceedingly long lengths, never feel the weight of it, and have it take up no more volume on the top of her head when wrapped up than she wants it to.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
* BBC TV series Fairy Tales, which presented modernized versions of some old fairy tales, had Charity Wakefield as a tennis player with the stage name Rapunzel, because her hair went down to her thighs (she had her own shampoo line from this, which is why her mother kept it long). She hung it out the window and it even reached down to a balcony below.
* In ''Series/TheTenthKingdom'', Virginia is briefly cursed with very-fast-growing hair, which requires both other characters to help her carry it and almost smothers her overnight. Of course, it's a reference to Rapunzel, and, yes, the hair eventually ''does'' get used as a rope. Eventually Wolf takes a magic axe to it, [[UnnecessaryMakeover leaving her with a very short hairstyle]].
* ''Series/{{Charmed|1998}}'':
** Piper grew her hair to waist length in the second season and kept it pretty much that same length for the rest of the series.
** Phoebe gains Rapunzel Hair in the season 5 finale where the sisters are transformed into Greek goddesses; she is given Aphrodite's long golden tresses. Paige also gets waist-length hair when she is temporarily transformed into a wood nymph.
** Phoebe also dons a wig for the sake of evoking Lady Godiva at the end of "The Bare Witch Project". Yes it of course functions as GodivaHair.
* Shelly Du Vall naturally adopted the traditional long golden hair when she played Rapunzel in an episode of ''Series/FaerieTaleTheatre''. Even after Rapunzel's TraumaticHaircut the hair was still down to the floor.
* ''Series/GameOfThrones'':
** Many noblewomen wear very long hair, including Cersei Lannister, Catelyn Stark, and Talisa.
** Other female characters also sport this, such as Ros and several prostitute extras.
** In later seasons, Daenerys' long silver hair has grown to just above her waist, which provides an interesting parallel to the Dothraki tradition of undefeated warriors having uncut hair.
* Spoofed in ''Series/TheGoodies'' when Graham goes to rescue Rapunzel from her tower by climbing her hair, only when he puts his weight on it he yanks her out of the tower.
* In ''Series/H2OJustAddWater'', Miss Chatham's hair is very long, though we only ever see it partially down. Presumably the full thing reaches to bum length.
* ''{{Series/Hollyoaks}}'':
** Amy Barnes was famed for her long hair, which went almost to her knees. A haircut was written into the show as part of a domestic abuse storyline when her actress decided to cut her hair for charity.
** Peri Lomax also has very long hair, almost as a SpiritualSuccessor to Amy.
* ''Series/TheOutpost'': Naya's hair reaches down to her hips.
* ''Series/PartyOfFive'': Although we never see the Salingers' mother Diana, Bailey describes her as having long brown hair all down her back that their father wouldn't let her cut.
* ''Series/SabrinaTheTeenageWitch'':
** The Season 1 finale had Sabrina trapped in a tower by a troll so she cast a spell on her hair to make it long enough for Harvey to climb up.
** Hilda also ate "hair soup" in another episode, which gave her waist-length tresses... and a full beard.
** Roxie's hair also grew to past her waist by the show's seventh season.
* ''Series/ShesGottaHaveIt'': Nola in Season 2 has her hair hanging down to her hips.
* Quite a few ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' heroines have had waist-length hair, as well as at least one male character (Makito in ''Series/MahouSentaiMagiranger''.) Eri from ''Series/TensouSentaiGoseiger'' has hair almost long enough to sit on, and ''Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger'''s Joe begins the series with a ponytail halfway down his back that eventually grows out past his waist (it was attached to the actor's real hair, which grew out considerably over the course of a year.)
** On the ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' side of things, Tommy Oliver's hair had reached this point by the end of ''Series/PowerRangersZeo''. It was therefore rather surprising to see him with his hair cropped short in "[[Series/PowerRangersWildForce Forever]] [[MilestoneCelebration Red]]". It stayed short throughout [[Series/PowerRangersDinoThunder Dino Thunder]] too, and is treated as IWasQuiteAFashionVictim. "It was the style at the time."
* ''Series/TheWorstWitch'':
** Miss Hardbroom, as described in the Literature example above.
** Mildred herself is no slouch in the hair department; hers is at least hip length, though usually tied up in pigtails.
** In ''The New Worst Witch'', Belladonna Bindweed's distinguishing physical feature is her waist-length hair.

[[folder:Music]]
* For years, singer Crystal Gayle's hair was long enough to trail behind her until she cut it to ease the strain on her neck caused by wearing it that way.
* Similarly Music/YoshikiHayashi, the leader of VisualKei band Music/XJapan, cut his waist-long hair to the despair of his female fans, because it took him hours to wash and care for it every day, and because it was making his neck pain worse.
* [[http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/4558/dannycecati23ais5.jpg Danny Cecatti]], former lead singer of Pegazus.
* [[http://www.hermanli.com/images/hermanli_by_rudy.jpg Herman Li]], guitarist in [=DragonForce=], has hair down to his knees. His headbangs are pretty wicked.
** And their former lead singer, ZP Theart, has waist-length hair. There's a reason why two of the band's three music videos feature [[DramaticWind wind machines]].
* Brian Fair, lead singer of Shadows Fall, also has hair down to his knees... in dreadlocks. Very impressive when windmilling.
* [[http://upabove.com/PRESS_VISION_PANGAEA/vlrgweb.jpg Key Kool]] (front/center) of Visionaries has nearly waist-length hair; it's not very noticeable since he usually wears in a knot at the base of his head. After his hairstylist marveled at his "virgin hair" (no bleaching, dying, or perming, just a ''huge'' amount of gel every day) he cut it off to donate to charity. It's since grown back (and, yes, he did dress as a Chinese person one Halloween).
* Long hair is a common thing with musicians, particularly HeavyMetal to the point where [[FanDumb some metalheads]] [[SoBadItsGood hilariously]] treat the length of one's hair as SeriousBusiness.
* Peter "Aconite" from Novus has hair down to his waist.
* Music/{{Vocaloid}} features Miku Hatsune and her floor-length green pigtails. She's not the only one though--there's also Luka, Haku, Neru, Miki, Lily, and Gakupo.
** Also Iroha (she has a bob and a really long ponytail). And from the new batch, we get IA and Ring, with Rion as a much less extreme example.
** MAYU, MAIKA, [=SeeU=], and to an extent, Merli.
* Exo-Chika from VisualKei/Electronica duo Aural Vampire has hair that goes past her butt.
* In the Music/SpiceGirls video for "Holler," Victoria's hair is past her waist. Especially glaring since the Double-A side it was released with ("Let Love Lead The Way") has her with a pixie cut. In the same video Emma is shown with knee-length hair in her 'water' scenes while it's at its normal length in the group scenes. Mel C was also sporting some pretty lengthy hair in the video for "Goodbye".
* In a similar case of a Double-A side with hair long in one video and short in the other, Tina Barrett from Music/SClub7. The "Two In A Million" video has her hair reaching to her waist while it's shoulder-length in the video for "You're My Number One"
* The song "Legs" by Music/ZZTop includes the lyric, "She's got hair / down to her fanny."
* "Old Flattop" in "Come Together" by Music/TheBeatles has, despite what his name might suggest, "hair down to his knee".
* Mexican actress and singer [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIQJS5SWy6g Daniela Romo]] was very famous in TheEighties and TheNineties for two things: her powerful mezzo singing voice and her extremely long dark brown hair, which easily reached down her butt. (She lost it in recent years due to [[IllGirl cancer treatment]], but has apparently started to grow it back.)
* Music/DeltaGoodrem has often favored her hair at waist length. According to her, when she was undergoing treatment for cancer, cutting her hair off was [[TraumaticHaircut the hardest thing about the experience]]. Once she had the all clear, she grew it back as quickly as she could.
* In the chorus of the Dar Williams song, "The Babysitter's Here", a little girl describes her hippie babysitter as having hair so long, she's able to sit on it.
* ''Music/HypnosisMic'': Jakurai Jinguji is easily the only male character with longest hair, which is nearly as long as his coat. Jyushi Aimono's as well reaches the small of his back. Prime Minister Otome Tohoten's hair reaches below her knees, While Ichijiku Kadenokoji's hair, even if she ties it in a ponytail, reaches the small of her back.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Myths & Religion]]
* In Catholic iconography of the saints, [[UsefulNotes/PatronSaints St. Mary Magdalene]] is traditionally (but not universally) depicted as having very long, unbound hair. It arises from the conflating of Mary Magdalene with the unnamed woman who washed Jesus' feet and dried them with her hair, then anointed them with perfumed oil. This doubles as a sign of her (apocryphal) sexually promiscuous life pre-Jesus.
* Sikhs of any sex are commanded not to cut any of their hair. It is combed twice daily and kept tightly wound underneath their turban or headscarf.
* Apostolic women are mandated by their faith to never cut their hair. However, many of them have it in ponytails or buns.
* Myth/NorseMythology:
** The goddess Sif, wife of Thor, was described as having hair made of literal gold that reached all the way to the floor.
** Valkyries too, are shown to have the same type of hair in Viking Age art, frequently in a type of knot.
* Myth/CelticMythology:
** Fedelm of Connacht, who is a [[CassandraTruth prophet]] and ''[[TheBard fili]]'' (court poet) who warns Queen Medb and King Ailill of the forces that threaten them from Ulster, is described as a beautiful woman with her hair parted into three [[BraidsOfAction braids]] that reach her calves (ankles?), with two of the braids wound around her head.
* In the [[Myth/MayanMythology Yucatec Maya]] legend of "[[MadonnaWhoreComplex La Xtabay]]" ("the female ensnarer"), La Xtabay is a demonic temptress who lures them to their deaths. She is usually described as a [[WorldsMostBeautifulWoman strikingly beautiful woman]] in a long white dress and her raven tresses flowing to her ankles. She greets lone men wandering through the Yucatan forest, seduces them, then kills them or spirits them to the underworld.
** Among the Maya, long hair is part of the ideal of beauty, and hair is encouraged to be kept long and healthy but the hot and humid climate means that the ideal of loose, unstyled hair is impossible to maintain for most people, therefore hair is usually braided and/or tucked out of the way.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Pro Wrestling]]
* Subverted by "The Puerto Rican Princess" Amber Rodriguez. While she has let her hair get very long, does have the sense to tie and retrain it for her matches. All the same, her monstrous (if well cared for) ponytail flailing around through lockups and pin attempts is a sight to behold.
* A lot of wrestling women will actually opt for Rapunzel Hair. Some will grow it out themselves while others--particularly the WWE Divas--will just opt for extensions. This seems partially a {{Fanservice}} trait--as it is mostly only used by wrestlers who will have some sex appeal to their appearance--and actually has a practical reason too. Long hair flying around actually adds to the TheatricsOfPain, making moves look more impactful. It is for this reason that a lot of women--and even men too--will wrestle with their hair down.
* {{Wrestling/Layla}} grew her hair out while recovering from an injury in 2011. It had been just past her shoulders before she left - but was down to her waist when she returned.
* Wrestling/KateyHarvey grew her hair down to her waist and kept it that way for several years - and her signature taunt was a HairFlip as she entered the ring. She cut it to shoulder length in 2016.
* Bianca Belair has a ponytail that goes down to her knees. She can use it to whip her opponents.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Puppet Shows]]
* Played for laughs in ''Series/TheMuppetShow''. A group of Whatnots sing "Aquarius" from ''Theatre/{{Hair}}'' while their hair rapidly grows throughout the 1-minute song to the point where they can't see or move properly.
* ''Series/SesameStreet'':
** In a News Flash sketch, Kermit does a report on Rapunzel, who is trapped in the Witch's tower, and interviews Prince Charming, who is about to come to her rescue. When Charming tells Rapunzel to let down her hair, it is revealed to be a wig that falls off her head.
** In another sketch, Prince Charming comes to Rapunzel's tower, and is supposed to tell her to let something down that rhymes with "air". His assistant, Bob Lackey, tries to tell him he knows a word that rhymes with "air", but Charming keeps interrupting him. Charming tells Rapunzel to let down a chair and a bear before getting it right and telling her to let down her hair. When Charming tries to climb Rapunzel's hair, [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome all it does is put Rapunzel in pain]]. Bob then finally tells Charming that he knows what word rhymes with air, "Stair", and tells Rapunzel to come down the stairs. Rapunzel does so, and falls for Bob, much to Charming's dismay.
** In the ''Series/ElmosWorld'' episode about hair, Elmo meets Rapunzel when he wonders who has the longest hair. Dorothy then has an ImagineSpot where Elmo takes on the role of Rapunzel. When Prince Charming climbs up Elmo's hair to the top of the tower, Elmo reveals his hair to be a wig, which he puts on Charming so he can slide down it. Elmo is free, but now Charming is stuck in the tower. After the fantasy ends, Rapunzel tells Elmo that she's going to the beauty parlor so she can wear her hair up, and when she's seen again during The Hair Song at the end, she's seen with a BeehiveHairdo, which she struggles to keep up.
** In Episode 4084, when Nina, Abby, and Elmo read the story of ''Rapunzel'', they find out that Rapunzel's hair is suddenly gone and Prince Charming is stuck at the bottom of the tower. Abby uses her magic to take her and Elmo inside the book to investigate the problem. They find out that Rapunzel always wanted to be a gymnast, but her long hair prevents her from doing so, so Abby recommends a haircut from Fairy Tale Land's preeminent hairstylist. Rapunzel is hesitant at first, given that climbing up her hair is the only way in and out of the tower, but the stylist has a solution, and makes a ladder out of her hair. Charming climbs it and finds Rapunzel with a new, shorter hairdo. After they sing about what they want to be, Charming admits he wants to be a gymnast as well, making a positive change in both of their lives.

[[folder:Roleplay]]
* In ''Roleplay/SurvivalOfTheFittest'', v4, we get Bridget Connolly, who is well-known for having knee-length red hair, though usually tied back. This was until she cut it while on the island, after hearing about [[spoiler:the death of her best friend, Raina Morales.]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
* A possible taboo for the Wu Jen class in ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' is "Cannot cut hair". Of course, you know this would be the obvious result.
** Also from ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'', a Braid Blade (as it sounds, a short blade tied to the end of a person's braid), introduced in Dungeon Magazine #120, would logically require hair of this length to make it effective.
** In the TabletopGame/ForgottenRealms setting, Eilistraee, the goddess of the good-aligned drow, is represented with ''very'' long hair, [[GodivaHair and usually nothing else]].
* The ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}'' Dark Eldar gladiator queen Lelith Hesperax has hair long enough to use as an entangling net (naturally it is woven with poisoned barbs too) but then she is also skilled enough with a simple metal blade to not need a power weapon to bypass armour, and fast enough on her feet to dodge bullets even without combat drugs, even with all that hair.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Theatre]]
* Melisande, in Maurice Maeterlinck's play ''Pelleas and Melisande'', has hair so long that, when she leans out from the window of a tower, her hair almost reaches the bottom.
* Rapunzel in ''Theatre/IntoTheWoods'', natch.
* Empress Elisabeth in ''Theatre/{{Elisabeth}}''. While the stage show does not feature Sisi with hair quite as long as depicted in paintings of the real Sisi, it is quite long both when [[http://www.genussmaenner.de/content/images/a373d28dc168dcd0cb6924758fb80926.jpg styled]] and [[https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/2a/2e/71/2a2e713ac328168f3febb460f92a386b.jpg unstyled]].
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Toys]]
* ''Franchise/MyLittlePony'' has this as a common gimmick. Additionally, G3 and G4 ponies typically have hair long enough that it reaches the ground.
** One G1 mail order pony was inspired by (and named after) the fairy tale Rapunzel. Naturally, Rapunzel's hair trails on the ground ''and then some'' - even with her factory curls it ''still'' reaches the ground.
** G3's Super Long Hair Ponies take this to the next level, featuring hair roughly ''twice'' as long as that of a normal G3.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Video Games]]
* ''[[VideoGame/AdvancedVariableGeo Advanced V.G.]]'': Due to technical limitations, Yuka's in-game character sprite has her ponytail only being waist length. But during cinematic cutscenes, it's shown to be much longer. And, as in her OVA depiction, when she unfastens her hair, [[http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=642517 it nearly reaches her feet.]]
* Martial artist Lita Branchimont from ''VideoGame/AtelierIrisEternalMana'' has very long, brown hair.
* ''VideoGame/{{Bayonetta}}'' definitely qualifies, to the point Rapunzel herself would be jealous. She also qualifies for GodivaHair because her SpyCatsuit ''is'' her hair. It flows off her body whenever she attacks.
** In ''VideoGame/Bayonetta2'', Jeanne has swapped out her BoyishShortHair from the first game for long, free-flowing locks (ironically, Bayonetta herself swaps from long hair with a BeehiveHairdo to the short tomboy hair as well). It's so long that it will clip into some of the other models in the game, in particular, her motorcycle when she pops a wheelie.
* Most of the female cast in ''VideoGame/BlazBlue''. The exceptions are Makoto and Bullet (who appropriately both have BoyishShortHair), and Tsubaki (whose flowing red hair is at a realistic length). Taokaka has long blonde braids sticking out of her hood, and Noel has really long hair as well but it's all kept in that puffy blue beret hat thing most of the time. Nu-13 and Lambda-11 both have a knee-length braid [[KnifeNut with a knife on the end.]] Litchi Faye-Ling has really long hair, even after tied to a ponytail. The ponytail can come off and it still touches the ground.
* The female versions of the Psychopomp, Seeker, Spear Master, Ravener, and Gunner bloodlines in ''VideoGame/BloodlineChampions'' have this.
* Shanoa from ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaOrderOfEcclesia'' has insanely lengthy hair that is meticulously animated sprite by sprite. Even if she barely moves, her hair flails out. [[SexyBacklessOutfit And damn, does she know how to lift it...]]
** Try looking at Alucard's sprite while he's running, flowing beautiful hair and all.
* Another male example: Guile from ''VideoGame/ChronoCross''. It's long and braided.
* The ''Franchise/{{Danganronpa}}'' series loves this trope for both its male and female characters.
** Junko Enoshima's voluminous pigtails reach down far enough to easily be waist length or longer when undone.
** ''VisualNovel/DanganronpaTriggerHappyHavoc'' features Sayaka, Sakura, and Kyouko with top-of-leg length hair. Toko has thick pigtails reaching her knees, and in ''Ultra Despair Girls'' these are shown when unbraided to be as long and crazy as she is tall and crazy. Celeste also sports huge Gothic clip-on corkscrew hair accessories to make her hair appear much longer. You discover her hair is actually neck length in a bathroom scene with the girls.
** ''VisualNovel/Danganronpa2GoodbyeDespair'' features more still:
*** In length order, Mikan's choppy hair reaches the top of her legs, Ibuki has masses of knee-length Avril Lavigne-esque hair to fit her punkish appearance, and Sonia is shown in some incarnations to have ankle-length hair when it's untied (fitting for a princess). Akane once had waist-length hair too, during her time at Hope's Peak.
*** A male example is Izuru Kamukura with massive ankle-length tendrils that encompass him almost entirely, apart from his front. [[spoiler: He could be considered an example of PowerMakesYourHairGrow since he's originally Hajime, who has very short spiky hair before becoming Izuru.]]
** Chisa Yukizome from ''Anime/DanganRonpa3'' was a high, voluminous hip length ponytail that grows longer by the time of Future Arc. Seiko Kimura is an example of the PowerMakesYourHairGrow trope during the Future Arc as well, as it grows exponentially when she injects herself with chemical stimulants to boost her physical power.
** ''VisualNovel/DanganronpaV3KillingHarmony'' has the most examples of any of the games. On the male side are Gonta Gokuhara and Korekiyo Shinguji and on the female side are Miu Iruma, Maki Harukawa, Tsumugi Shirogane and Tenko Chabashira. In all cases the hair is somewhere between waist and ankle length.
* Quite a few ''Franchise/{{Disgaea}}'' characters have hair that reaches at least down to their hips, including Flonne, Lamington, Yukimaru, Fukubi, Sapphire, Asuka, and Salvatore. This is only counting ''plot'' characters, mind you--if we were counting generic units or bonus Creator/NipponIchi characters, we'd be here all week.
* Dixie Kong and Tiny Kong of the ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry'' series both have blonde pigtails so long that they can use them as ''helicopters''.
* In ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'' series, the [[CatFolk Khajiit]] race is led by the Mane. Khajiit will cut off their manes in deference to the Mane, who will have them weaved into his own mane. As the Khajiit population grew over time, this became impractical, so in modern times, only the Mane's own tribe and his royal guard will cut their manes in this fashion. Still, the Mane is so weighted down by the hair that movement is difficult without aid and he will often travel the countryside by means of a palanquin.
* ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'':
** Sephiroth from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII''.
*** ''VideoGame/CrisisCore'' actually {{lampshade|Hanging}}s this by having his fanclub e-mail specifically state that he requires an entire bottle of shampoo and conditioner every time he washes his hair to properly maintain it.
*** ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' even mocks this, by re-enacting a scene with him and Cloud. But since they don't have Sephiroth ([[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate or at least]], [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosForNintendo3DSAndWiiU not in the game Cloud became part of the roster]]), they have ''[[VideoGame/KidIcarus Palutena]]'' stand in for him.
** Sephiroth's not the only one to possess this trait in ''VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy''. The Emperor of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyII'', Ultimecia of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII'', Cosmos, the goddess of harmony in this game all have hair of similar length. The Onion Knight has a rat-tail mullet that reaches his knees.
** Aerith and Tifa from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'', though the latter shortens it a little later on for the movie. In the game, both of them have hair of the same kind of length as Sephiroth, but keep it tied so that it doesn't flow all over the place.
** In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIX'', Princess Garnet has hair that reaches her butt until she cuts it, it also has very rapid growth as it grows back to that full length in presumably half a year (though this could be attributed to the devs not bothering to make yet another model for the ending scenes and her hair growing back would be a good indicator that time had passed).
** Yunalesca in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'' and Nooj in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX2'' both have ridiculously long hair. [[spoiler:Yunalesca's might not need the maintenance though, since she's dead.]]
*** And Yuna from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX2''. While ''most'' of her hair is very short, [[ShortHairWithTail one section at the base of her neck has been allowed to grow down to her ankles]] in the two years between the games. It's wrapped up and (presumably) braided.
*** ''FFX'' again, Lulu's hair is waist length but tied up high and in braids. Presumably, her hair must be longer once it's let down.
* ''Franchise/FireEmblem'':
** It's hard to see because Prince Michalis from ''VideoGame/FireEmblemShadowDragonAndTheBladeOfLight'' and ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemMysteryOfTheEmblem Mystery of the Emblem]]'' keep his long hair under his BadassCape, but in [[http://fireemblem.wikia.com/wiki/File:Medon_Family_Manga.png the manga]], it easily reached his waist. It's even longer in ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes Heroes]]'', as seen [[http://fireemblem.wikia.com/wiki/File:Michalis_Fight.png in his attacking animation,]] it reached either his butt, thigh, or knee.
** Also, Sophia from ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemElibe Fire Emblem: Binding Blade]]''. Her hair easily reaches her feet ''and goes even further''.
--->'''Reigh:''' [[HeyYou Hey, you]] over there! You! [[LampshadeHanging With the long dragging hair!!]]
** ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemElibe Fire Emblem: Blazing Blade]]'':
*** Lyndis has hair that reaches her lower legs even when held up in a high ponytail.
*** Ninian's hair is shorter than Lyn's, but it still fits since it reaches down to her hips. Karla's hair is a similar length.
*** Nergal's morphs, Limstella and Sonia, both have hair that reaches to their waist.
*** [[LongHairedPrettyBoy On the male side]] there's Lucius, Legault, and Karel, the former two even have their own unique sprites because of their waist-length hair.
** Lucia from ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemPathOfRadiance Path of Radiance]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemRadiantDawn Radiant Dawn]]''. It even becomes a plot point in ''Radiant Dawn'' [[spoiler:due to her TraumaticHaircut.]]
** Cordelia from ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'' possesses long red hair that reaches her ''knees''. [[spoiler: Her daughter of the future]] Severa has just-as-long hair, which she keeps in GirlishPigtails.
*** Lucina, also from ''Awakening'', is sometimes (and inconsistently) shown with this, which makes [[spoiler: the whole CompressedHair thing she does when disguised as "Marth"]] pretty impressive.
*** A Female Avatar can be given long hair that reaches to her butt, depending on the hairstyles that the players choose for her.
** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemFates'' has some examples as well:
*** Again, the Female Avatar can be given long or short hair in the customization screens.
*** Azura has long and voloumous light-blue hair that practically reaches her ankles.
*** Ryoma has a long, unkempt mane of BarbarianLongHair that roughly reaches down to his waist.
*** Takumi's hair reaches his waist even in a high ponytail.
*** Elise's MegaTwintails reach down past her hips.
*** Camilla's subordinate Selena has ''very'' long hair, even when she keeps it in GirlishPigtails. [[spoiler: She had it just as long when she was Severa in ''Awakening''.]]
* ''VideoGame/GoldenSun'' warrior-types seem [[ImprobableHairstyle improbably fond of this trope]]:
** In the first game, AntiVillain Menardi has loose blonde hair at least to her hips, probably farther.
** [[EvilIsSexy Chalis's]] knee-length pink hair in ''[[VideoGame/GoldenSunDarkDawn Dark Dawn]]''.
** Sveta's white BraidsOfAction in ''Dark Dawn'' reach around her ankles in her character art, where she's whipping them around, so they're probably [[UpToEleven actually longer]].
** Eoleo's improbably red ponytail for a male example. Really, he's a pirate and he wears his hair like ''that'' on the open seas? How does he keep it from tangling? [[MundaneUtility Psynergy?]]
* Millia Rage from ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear'' combines this with PrehensileHair, and turns both UpToEleven. The victory pose where she lets it down and about a third of it drags on the ground around her seems impressive, but you slowly realize it can somehow grow a lot longer than that when you see the ends of her hair tunnel into the ground, then come up and stab someone five feet away.
* Nariko in ''VideoGame/HeavenlySword'' has this, and it has been [[http://www.duelinganalogs.com/comic/2007/08/16/heavenly-absurd/ made fun of]].
* ''VideoGame/KidIcarusUprising'':
** Palutena's hair reaches her knees.
** Viridi keeps her hair in a ponytail, and it's still as long as she is tall.
* ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters'': Duo Lon is definitely a huge embodiment of this trope. Xiao Lon as well in King of Fighters Maximum Impact Regulation A.
* Xigbar in ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' has an almost butt-length ponytail.
* Estelle Bright from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsInTheSky'' has twin tails that reaches to her skirt.
* The female protagonist in ''VideoGame/LegendOfMana'', complete with ImprobableHairstyle.
* ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'':
** The original ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaI'': It's hard to tell from the sprites, but Zelda's hair goes down to her ankles. Most other Zeldas have their hair from mid- to lower-back. This only applies to the sprite as most official art depicts her with medium length hair.
** In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'', the Gerudo chief Riju's hair is ankle length even when tied into a braid wider than her waist.
** All Sheikah in BOTW possess extremely thick white hair. In an discoverable diary entry by researcher Purah, [[spoiler: who prior to the game developed age-regression technology which turns her from being over 100 to a small child in only a couple of days]] she describes her hair having become thick again, and floor length in the span of a night.
** We only see what this might look like in the game's spin-off - ''VideoGame/HyruleWarriorsAgeOfCalamity'', through her sister Impa, whose hair as a girl of Link and Zelda's age, easilly reaches her ankles and is tied together in the lowest low-ponytail.
* ''Franchise/MegaMan'':
** Another male example: Zero in both ''VideoGame/MegaManX'' and ''[[VideoGame/MegaManZero Zero]]''. [[spoiler:By default, so's Omega Zero.]]
** Zero's co-star [[GadgeteerGenius Ciel]] isn't so far off, either. And the official art depicts her hair as ''even longer''.
** Iris from ''VideoGame/MegaManX4'' has hair that nearly reaches to her feet.
** Two more male examples: ''VideoGame/MegaManZX's'' Giro and Vent, the latter effective in ''Advent''. Vent in ZX and Aile in both games is a case of CompressedHair when using Model ZX.
* Averted in ''VideoGame/NeverwinterNights'' and ''VideoGame/NeverwinterNights2''. All of the possible unmodded female hairstyles in the first game were shoulder-length at most; in the second the longest female hair comes down to the middle of the character's back.
** Some mods, however, notably VideoGame/ADanceWithRogues, add several long hairstyles, including an almost ankle-length one.
* ''VideoGame/{{Onmyoji}}'' has many examples on characters of both genders, but a special mention goes to the protagonist Seimei himself whose MysticalWhiteHair reaches his calves.
* ''VideoGame/Persona5'' has Ann Takamaki, who usually has her hair tied up in pigtails. A costume option in the spin-off game ''VideoGame/Persona5DancingInStarlight'' shows that her hair reaches to her lower back when let down. Ann's third tier Persona in ''[[UpdatedRerelease Royal]]'', Celestine, has twintails that are longer than her entire body and form a heart behind her.
* ''{{Franchise/Pokemon}}'':
** Cynthia from ''VideoGame/PokemonDiamondAndPearl'' has hair down to her legs.
** ''VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon'' brought Lusamine onto the scene, whose incredible all-encompassing, hip-length blonde hair/hoodie, was the talk of the town when she was first revealed, and Lille comes close [[spoiler:to matching her mother's length]] with her own waist length blonde hair.
** Rosa/Mei; the female avatar character from ''VideoGame/PokemonBlack2AndWhite2'' can be assumed to have somewhere around knee length brown hair, given two strands fall past her waist whilst the rest is up in two large side buns.
** And with the inclusion of trainer customisation in ''VideoGame/PokemonXAndY'', some of the girl's hairstyles, as well as Serena's default hairstyle, come close to hip length if not in ponytails.
** The two Gen IV double battle partners: Cheryl and Mira each have hip length green and pink ponytails/twintails respectively, although Cheryl's is likely longer than that, given it is plaited.
** Lorelei has a wast length ponytail to complement her curves, all of which are further emphasized in Pokemon Generations
** Karen in the ''VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver''/''Crystal'' games had her hair in shoulder-length. In the [=HeartGold=] and [=SoulSilver=] remakes, it reachers to her hips.
** Aqua Admin Shelly's designs for ''VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire'' and ''VideoGame/PokemonOmegaRubyAndAlphaSapphire'' both feature her with impossibly volumous leg length hairstyles, the former having red afro-like hair, and the latter having wild, black, Panty and Stocking-esque hair, streaked with blue, that's likely the envy of all of the female Team Aqua grunts.
** They all pale in comparison to Caitlin in ''VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite''. Take [[http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/0/04/Black_White_Caitlin.png one]] look at her official art. That's not even ''all'' of it. Her art in Gen IV was actually a bit more realistic.
** The two childhood female friends of N: Concordia, and Antheia
** Caitlin's fellow frontier brain in Gen IV, Dhalia also has it, styled in loose braids that reach her legs.
** Pokemon examples of this trope are Zoroark, Lilligant, Tsareena, and [[spoiler:the Ultra Beast Pheromosa]], all of which imitate ankle-length hair.
** As an NPC example, the female swimmers in ''VideoGame/PokemonXAndY'' all have thigh-length bleach blonde hair, which they don't seem at all bothered about cleaning the sea water out of once they leave the ocean.
** Whilst the female researchers in ''VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite'' all choose calf-length black hair to rival the length of their lab coats, seemingly taking design choices from Fennel, who has an identical style.
** One of the series' few male examples: N.
** ''VideoGame/PokemonSwordAndShield'' brings a rather exaggerated example in the Hattena Pokemon line, where its hair is the same size as the rest of its body, with the hair getting even longer with each evolution, to the point where around 80% of Hatterene's body mass is hair, with it shaped into the form of a voluptuous woman, while the actual, very small body is hidden behind its "bangs". Hatterene's Gigantamax form takes this trope to the extreme, in that unlike most Pokemon that have their actual body grow along with changing appearance while Gigantamaxing, Hatterene's G-Max form has its true body stay mostly the same as its regular form, while the increase in size comes from its hair growing to make up around 95% of its body mass.
* ''VideoGame/PopNMusic'' has Ophelia (no relation to [[TheOphelia that trope]]), who has black, feet-length hair that she ties into a long ponytail. Her full-gauge win and lose animations consist of her hair untying itself to show just how much of it she has. Appropriately enough, the song that she's the character for is called "Rapunzel".
* Most idols in VideoGame/PriPara have very long hair.
* Hyo Imawano from ''VideoGame/RivalSchools'' keeps his ankle-long white hair in a ponytail, until he is possessed by his dead father Mugen to become Demon Hyo, after which his hair is let loose but floats eerily in the air as if he was underwater.
* In ''{{VideoGame/Rosenkreuzstilette}}'', Grolla, Liebea, Lilli, Strudel, and Iris all have hair reaching down to around their knees. The same could be said for Tia, Freudia, and Zorne as well if they unbanded their hair.
* Hawkeye from ''VideoGame/TrialsOfMana'' is a male example, with hair in a ponytail that goes down to his waist.
* ''VideoGame/SengokuBasara'': Keiji Maeda's hair, even when tied in a ponytail, reaches his lower back. Oichi's also reaches her hips.
* ''VideoGame/{{Shantae}}'': Shantae's purple hair reaches very close to the ground level.
* As portrayed in ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei'', the Irish fae known as Leanan Sidhe has hair so long ''she's '''balancing''' on it'' (technically she's actually hovering, but that's the way it looks). In ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiStrangeJourney'', "She has really long hair. No, ''really'' long" is the only hint Anthony needs to give you when you need to take his love confession to one.
** Yomotsu Shikome as portrayed in [=MegaTen=] games may count too; It is unclear whether or not it is just a floating head with ''six feet of hair substituting for an actual body''.
* StringyHairedGhostGirl Cynthia in ''VideoGame/SilentHill4: The Room''. She also uses it as a weapon.
* Later incarnations of ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'' feature hair bordering on this trope.
* It is often missed and [[FridgeLogic sometimes hard to credit]] given the SheFu, but Cammy from the ''StreetFighter'' games sports BraidsOfAction that reach her ankles. Yes, the handle/rein jokes write themselves.
* Dragon Beard Candy from ''Tale of Food'' has hair that trails at least a ''meter'' on the ground, which becomes a RunningGag. Many other long-haired foodsouls, while nowhere as outrageous as this guy, are no slouch either, especially rarer ones: Yángzhōu Fried Rice, Lóngjǐng Shrimp, Osmanthus Wine, Farewell My Concubine, etc.
* ''VideoGame/TalesOfTheAbyss'' has Asch and Luke (before the latter cuts his off). Tear keeps her hair at a similar length.
* Sophie in ''VideoGame/TalesOfGraces'' has lilac [[GirlishPigtails twintails]] that almost reach the ground. [[spoiler: Fortunately, maintenance isn't a problem for robots.]]
* Two of the three playable female characters in ''VideoGame/TalesOfBerseria'', Velvet and Magilou, qualify, as both of them have ankle-length hair: in Velvet's case, she starts off the game with a hip-length braid, but after spending three years in prison, it's grown quite a bit.
* Lara Croft in ''Franchise/TombRaider'', at least in II, III, and IV. In IV, if it were not braided, it would be at least knee-length, but it gets progressively shorter in the sequels as they usually feature her at a younger age.
* Detective Daria in ''VideoGame/TouchDetective''... somewhat subverted/lampshaded, as the main character can touch her hair, but discovers it's pretty coarse, dirty, and full of split ends.
* ''Franchise/TouhouProject'':
** ''[[SarcasmMode Imperishable Night]]'' [[SarcasmMode is better off retitled]] ''[[SarcasmMode Rapunzel Hair Night]]'': Reisen Udongein Inaba, Keine Kamishirasawa, Eirin Yagokoro, Kaguya Houraisan, and Fujiwara no Mokou.
** Patchouli Knowledge has been noted[[note]] In ''Perfect Memento in Strict Sense''[[/note]] to look exactly like a human, aside from her long purple hair.
* Izuminokami Kanesada of ''VideoGame/ToukenRanbu'' used to be the game's poster boy for this trope with his straight black hair reaching about his ankles before Juzumaru Tsunetsugu comes in and takes his place as having the longest hair in the game, with it ''longer than he is tall''.
* [[spoiler:Miang Hawwa]] has this hair in the opening video in ''VideoGame/{{Xenogears}}''.
** So does Elly.
* ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles2'' has this for many of their female Blade designs, almost all of which fit the LadyOfWar trope to a T despite their diverse personalities. Among the main cast, Mythra, Poppi QTπ and Brighid are obvious, albeit relatively tame, examples, as are {{Guest Fighter}}s [[VideoGame/{{Xenosaga}} KOS-MOS and T-elos]]. Then you have Blades such as Vess, Sheba, [[spoiler:Patroka]], and [[spoiler: Pyra and Mythra's ascended form Pneuma]], who have hair that nearly goes down to their feet. There's also one male example in Gorg, and one Driver example in Lora (albeit of the ShortHairWithTail variety).
* Nikki Chan of [[Creator/The3DOCompany 3DO]] fighting game ''VideoGame/WayOfTheWarrior'' sports a ponytail which dangles to her legs and can be used as a weapon in some of her attacks.
* Josephine spends the entirety of ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition'' with her hair pulled up in an elegant braided CompressedHair style. Her ending slide in the epilogue of the ''Trespasser'' DLC, however, shows her back home in Antiva, standing on the harbor watching one of her family's trading ships pull out of port - and her ''very'' long hair is loose and flowing in the wind.
* Valentina, from the ''VideoGame/DarkTales'' series, has blonde hair that falls below her waist. She's first introduced in ''The Tell-Tale Heart'', where she is the mortician on the murder case, so her hair is carefully kept out of the way in a long braid; when she returns in ''Speaking With the Dead'', it's still every bit as long.
* Rapunzel in the ''VideoGame/DarkParables'' series has this, naturally. Unlike most adaptations of her story, however, the length of her hair really doesn't have anything to do with her situation; it's just kind of ''there''. A number of other characters are also shown to have this, such as Princess Valla in ''Goldilocks and the Fallen Star''.
* Haruka from ''[[VideoGame/BakutenShootBeybladeGBA Bakuten Shoot Beyblade 2002 - Gekisen! Team Battle!!]]'' has hair that would drag over the floor if it wouldn't be tied up into pigtails that stand aside enough to lift her hair to ankle height. (In return, the ends of her obi get to drag over the floor.) She's essentially a YamatoNadeshiko-to-be, having a traditional upbringing, being of a family with money, being a skilled blader, and being a joyous presence, but yet lacking the years.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Visual Novels]]
* Misuzu from ''VisualNovel/{{AIR}}'' has long hair past her hips, that she usually keeps in a long ponytail. It doesn't seem to hinder her mobility in the slightest, even when it gets wet. Getting it cut [[ImportantHaircut signifies an important turn of events in the series]].
* Asuka, Misaki and Madoka from ''VisualNovel/AokanaFourRhythmAcrossTheBlue'' all have waist length hair.
* From ''VisualNovel/{{Clannad}}'': Tomoyo, Kyou and Sanae all fits with their fall slightly past their hips.
* ''VisualNovel/TheDevilOnGString'' has Haru Usami's trademark head of hair which [[LampshadeHanging everyone she meets comments on]]. It's a huge mess of hair which runs past her hips. It's also plot-related, as when she was a kid, [[spoiler:she had a boy-cut. Upon meeting Kyousuke, he comments that he'd like it if Haru had longer hair. The problem was that he didn't specify how long he wanted it.]]
* Rider in ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight''. The length is pretty inconsistent, at times appearing waist length and at one point when running up a building it trails a good two or three feet below her.
* In ''VisualNovel/TheFruitOfGrisaia'', Yumiko has waist length hair, but Julia and Amane's reaches all the way to their legs.
* ''VisualNovel/TheHouseInFataMorgana'' has several examples, but the Maid takes the cake: her hair is so long that even when it’s woven into a tight braid it ''still'' reaches the floor. [[spoiler:Her hair was originally much shorter, but grew to its current length after going centuries without a haircut.]] The White-Haired Girl also has very long hair in her first and third appearances.
* In ''VisualNovel/KatawaShoujo'', it is revealed that [[spoiler:Misha's pink hair]] used to be brown and much longer, almost to her waist. Out of the date-able girls, three have long hair: Hanako, Lilly and Emi; in the meantime, Miki Miura is just as long-haired as them.
* In ''VisualNovel/LittleBusters'', both Kurugaya and Kud have very long hair. In particular, Riki seems to have a thing for Kud's hair--he gets distracted by it several times, and there's even a scene/CG where they have to cuddle up together with Kud in front of him and he ends up stroking his hands through it. Kud thinks it's a little weird, but not in a bad way.
* In the {{eroge}} ''Madou Souhei Kleinhasa'', Llun's hair reaches her hips, and Roze's hair is long enough to drag on the ground, despite the fact that they're are supposed to be soldiers.
* In the middle of Season 2, ''VisualNovel/RoseGunsDays'' introduces a young girl who loses her memories after being hit by [[TheHeroine Rose]]'s car while running away from procurers. The latter offers her her protection in apology and names her Rapunzel because of this trope. Rose herself has very long hair − [[AnimeHair cut in a downright impossible way.]]
* ''VisualNovel/SchoolDays'' gives us Kotonoha Katsura and her hip-length hair. Hikari also has pretty long hair, but since she keeps it on pigtails it doesn't look ''that'' long.
* Eris, Shizuku, and Runa from the GirlsLove {{Eroge}} ''Sono Hanabira ni Kuchizuke o'' all have really long hair that fits this trope. Eris and Shizuku are paired together in the eighth game.
* In a flashback in ''VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}}'', Arcueid (pictured) is shown to have had floor-length hair before her sister Altrouge chopped it off after beating her in a fight, leaving her with the familiar short hair of the present day. In ''VideoGame/MeltyBlood'' she gets the long hair back when she turns into [[spoiler:Archetype Earth]].
* Beatrice of ''VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry'' [[ExpositoryHairstyleChange is revealed to have this]] [[spoiler:after she has a breakdown and becomes an EmptyShell]] in the fifth game. Possibly lampshaded, as when we first see her, [[spoiler:Virgilia is brushing her hair for her.]]
* Most of the girls in ''Franchise/{{Danganronpa}}'' have waist-length hair, but the person with the longest hair is a ''guy'': Izuru Kamukura, whose hair reaches his ''feet''. The Ultimate Princess Sonia Nevermind's hair also reachers her ankles in ''[[Anime/Danganronpa3TheEndOfHopesPeakHighSchool Danganronpa 3: Despair Arc]]''.
* In ''VisualNovel/HeartOfTheWoods'', most of the female characters have realistically short hair, barely above shoulder length at longest, but [[CuteGhostGirl Abigail]] has waist-length hair, which Madison likens to Rapunzel's.

* ''WebAnimation/BrokenSaints'' heroine Shandala has hair like this at first but quickly loses it in favor of a shoulder-length do by Chapter 6.
* Played with by ''WebAnimation/CyanideAndHappiness'' animation Repulsel. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTZ1znQAO8o WARNING link potentially NSFW]].
* ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'':
** [[ActionGirl Yang Xiao Long]]'s most distinctive feature is a very long, messy mane of blonde hair that flows down a bit past her waist. [[BerserkButton God help you if you disturb it or pull any of it out]].
** Also Velvet Scarlatina, the Australian-accented bunny girl on Team CFVY, has hair of similar length but much straighter and less messy.
** Weiss' hair goes down past her calves, or it would if she let it down from that bun/ponytail combo. [[https://static.zerochan.net/Weiss.Schnee.full.2047153.jpg In Volume 4]] it gets ''even longer'', going down to her ''feet''.
* ''WebAnimation/DSBTInsaniT'': Waterfall Girl's waterfall-styled hair goes almost to the bottom of her back.
* ''WebAnimation/{{Dreamscape}}'': Keela's hair goes down to to the back of her ''knees''! [[NeverHeardThatOneBefore And yes, she's heard all the jokes.]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Webcomics]]
* ''Webcomic/AlienDice'' is full of characters with long hair. Chel's hair falls to her knees, Claudia's curls are about knee length. Riley, like most Rishan, has hair past his ankles, but it's mostly worn up. Damien's hair is down to his ankles. Maelinn's hair is ankle length as well. Zaile's hair is very long when compared to his siblings, as a sign of his higher status than them, but shorter than . The alien characters are justified since long hair is a sign of status in their culture, and Litan never cut their hair. Chel's hair, however, is never really mentioned.
* ''Webcomic/AngelDown'' Chloe's hair comes all the way to the bottom of her back even when braided.
* Deirdre Bradley in ''Webcomic/{{Avalon}}''. She's even able to braid it in no more than eight seconds due to not having it cut for twenty years.
* ''Webcomic/{{Blindsprings}}'' has Tamaura, whose hair is twice the size of her frail body and is composed entirely of RegalRinglets. It's implied to be held together by magic, and as soon as she leaves the magic forest [[http://blindsprings.com/comic/blindsprings-page-thirty it begins to disintegrate]], and when she escapes to the city one of the first things the two girls who find her do is trim it down so it can be concealed under a scarf because it's so distinct.
* Machbom in ''Webcomic/BombermanLandParody'' was stated to once had hair that trails a few inches across the ground (Present Mach only had shoulder-length hair) before Shiro severed it off. Some of the fanarts of him by the same author also shows that it is inconvenient as his hair gets tangled onto everything prior to getting it cut off.
* A yet-to-be-officially-named character of ''Webcomic/CreativeRelease'' has feet-length, blonde hair.
* Naiomi Nakaoka from the long-defunct comic ''Cyber Knight Shenanigans'' by [=CMSPyroWolf=] (currently known as [[WebAnimation/MysterySkullsAnimated MysteryBen]]) has hair so long [[https://web.archive.org/web/20090311040603/http://www.cybermoonstudios.com/comics/comic9.htm it trails off-panel]].
* The [[http://dangercurl.deviantart.com/gallery/48633835/The-DangerCurls-Saga DangerCurls Saga]] features women with ankle-length hair or longer, some have hair longer than twice their height. Justified as they are magical girls who store magic in their hair, so the longer the hair, the stronger the magic.
* Kili of ''Webcomic/TheDragonDoctors'' used to have short hair, but ever since she and her boyfriend Greg became werewolves, their hair has started growing incredibly fast and is now pretty much always at this length. This resulted in at least one instance of GodivaHair when Kili exploded out of her clothes during one werewolf transformation.
* Justified in ''Webcomic/{{Drowtales}}'', since hairstyle is used to advertise one's social status, with short hair being reserved for slaves and servants. This means that when [[BadassNormal Vaelia]] is officially promoted to be Ariel's guard she gets hair extensions put in so she won't be mistaken for a slave, and when [[TheMole Verthandi]] is called out on her treachery her kin cut off her long hair to [[TraumaticHaircut shame her]]. Also, Ariel's innate [[VoluntaryShapeshifting limited shapeshifting]] means she has a practical use for her long hair -- trying to grab it in combat will likely result in it coiling around your arm like a snake and wrenching you to the ground.
* In ''Webcomic/EarsForElves'':
** Rolan and Luero have hair to just below their knees, and it's likely that Myari would if she let it down.
** Tanna had this [[http://www.earsforelves.com/archives/593 when she was young]], but now the longest her hair gets is to her mid-back.
** Several characters on [[http://www.earsforelves.com/archives/309 this page]] do; then again, their hair does serve as panel breaks and the art is very stylized.
* ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'' has given a number of characters ridiculously long hair. It's usually the result of a temporary transformation, helpfully sidestepping most of the logistical issues.
** During the Grace's Birthday Party arc, [[http://egscomics.com/?date=2005-09-02 Elliot]] spent the party in a female form with knee-length hair. His in-universe justification was that it was a ploy to get Justin to go (Justin enjoys playing with hair), but it also served to visually-distinguish him from Ellen and to highlight his increased comfort with taking on a more stereotypically feminine appearance.
** Susan has particularly long hair naturally and it was lampshaded [[http://egscomics.com/?date=2010-04-19 quite rudely]]. She [[https://www.egscomics.com/egsnp/2015-07-22 admits that it's impractical]], but keeps it despite otherwise being very pragmatic about her appearance.
** The form that Elliot uses [[https://www.egscomics.com/comic/2015-06-22 during his first date with Ashley]] similarly has hair that goes down to the mid-thigh. This is in response to Ashley's preference.
* Zintel from ''Webcomic/FlakyPastry'' had this for some time. It seemed to have a mind of its own, though sometime after it was cut short in battle (wherein it mummified her opponent) she showed off the ability to change her hairstyle with a mere thought.
* Mary Murphy in ''Webcomic/AGirlAndHerFed'' has a head of knee-length red, red hair. While it emphasizes her femininity and seemingly harmless appearance, and frequently gets in her way (she at one point needs to wring it out after trying to drink from a water fountain), it also seems to serve as a reminder that if you get in her way, [[SilkHidingSteel she will destroy you with a sad smile on her face.]] [[spoiler: She meets a ghost with similarly long hair at Grandmother Ishi's. The ancestors evidently thought that was a suitable point of commonality: [[https://www.agirlandherfed.com/1.1398.html turns out]] it was ''not.'']]
--> [[AltText Mare's hair hulks out when she's angry.]]
* Esme Endo, an unused character from the unfinished comic ''Webcomic/HannaIsNotABoysName'' has hair [[https://40.media.tumblr.com/aac99ae56cd66db89b50fd13d768ac7e/tumblr_mhzhdighyq1qg5y3xo3_1280.jpg down to her knees]]. It also appears to be sentient. Most of the other characters in the comic don't have hair longer than their bust/ribcage. (Though [[http://hinabn.wikia.com/wiki/Toni_Ipres Toni Ipres']] hair is in a high ponytail, and so might be waist length or longer.)
* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'':
** Some characters have long hair, but the troll Empress [[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/scratch.php?s=6&p=005963 has them all beat]]. In turn, this inspired the fan artists to draw her with even bigger hair.
** Accordingly, Meenah, her Pre-Scratch incarnation, has hair that is actually ''longer than she is tall'', though she keeps it done up in twin rattails.
* Princess Voluptua in ''Webcomic/TheInexplicableAdventuresOfBob'' has wavy hair that is slightly longer than she is tall.
* ''Webcomic/{{Hooky}}'': Dani, and for a while, Dorian too, have hair reaching to the ground after the time skip since they both haven't cut it for three years. For Dani, it marks her as TheOphelia, and is also a mark of her high status, as she is [[spoiler:the Queen of Witches]].
* ''Webcomic/AMagicalRoommate'': This is a common style in Umbria, even having a spiky variant worn by Felincia. {{Lampshaded}} in an early arc, where Aylia "repairs" a hideous haircut... by making Jenny's hair grow out too far.
-->'''Jenny:''' How is ''this'' solving the problem?!\\
'''Aylia:''' Very effectively, I'd say.
* Amber from ''Webcomic/{{Matchu}}'' has hair so long she can roll into a ball with it, and her morning routine consists of getting rid of things that get stuck in her hair, such as a quarter, her cat, a pizza box, an a-bomb, and ''her best friend''. It is unwise to [[BerserkButton suggest she cut it off or donate it.]]
* Yuki and Ping in ''Webcomic/{{Megatokyo}}'' both have waist length hair, both usually tied in pigtails.
* [[http://www.monsterful.com/chapter11page10.php Samantha Thing]] and [[http://www.monsterful.com/chapter09page19.php Michelle Flammel]] from ''Webcomic/{{Monsterful}}''.
** Justified with Samantha considering her monster species (Ittboo) are beings with permanent long hair, and since her mother is a Futakuchi-Onna she's also able to control her hair at will.
* Haley of ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'' recently upgraded her short-short hair to Rapunzel Hair [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0752.html here]]. For bonus points, she's combined it with GodivaHair. After having a little fun with it, [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0754.html she cuts the hair back to a manageable length]].
* Thae from ''Webcomic/OverlordAcademy'' somehow manages to be an ActionGirl with [[ImprobableHairstyle ankle-length blonde hair]].
* ''Webcomic/TheOverture'':
** The Demi Sophie from has a nest of quill infested hair that reaches down to her feet.
** Angela has hair just as impressive but without quills and is [[http://overturecomic.com/page0118.html less than useful in a fight.]]
* ''Webcomic/{{Reliquary}}'' takes place in a religious culture where hair corresponds to rank. It's common to see clergy with waist-length hair, and the visiting Cardinal's is even longer than that.
* In ''Webcomic/{{Seekers}}'', Nareen's high ponytail reaches almost to her feet.
* Rachel from ''Webcomic/{{TheSenkari}}'' has hair well below her waist. This is despite officially being a soldier in an army armed with swords.
* ''Webcomic/SleeplessDomain'':
** The mysterious girl who appears in the Dream and grants powers to {{Magical Girl}}s has light golden hair that is ''extremely'' voluminous, and reaches all the way down to her dress.
** [[spoiler:After merging with Goops, Tessa]] gains floor length purple and pink hair. When asked in a Q & A whether she's concerned about dirt getting in it, she merely responds "what do you think magic is ''for''?"
* ''Webcomic/SuenosDelSur'': Eliana Martinez's hair starts off being as long as her body, until it gets cut off to about shoulder-length by her mother a few arcs later. She manages to regrow it throughout later arcs until it becomes somewhere between ''two to three times'' her body length. Eliana’s hair eventually gets so long that in one of the most recent arcs [[spoiler:she’s able to weave it into functional wings and use it to fly!]]
* ''Webcomic/TowerOfGod'': Twenty-Fifth Bam/Jue Viole Grace gets this after the TimeSkip.
%%* Reagan in ''Webcomic/TemplarArizona''.
* In ''Webcomic/ItsWalky'', Sal has waist-length hair long enough to cover all her naughty bits during a post-sex scene, despite being an ActionGirl who relies primarily on speed and mobility in combat, though she is super-strong.

* [[http://akaichounokoe.deviantart.com/gallery/?q=Toki#/d4m76j0 Toki]] and, in this picture, the [[{{Creator/Amoridere}} artist]] pointed out in the description that her hair would be even longer. In [[http://akaichounokoe.deviantart.com/art/Skip-Rope-336539347 one story]], it was used a jump-rope and, apparently, that is how her hair would be braided, along with the fact that she wouldn't notice it being pulled. According to one story, the reason as to why it's so long is because Toki grew it out post-cancer treatments, as part of a grudge.
* Original character, [[https://www.deviantart.com/neko-rina/art/Video-Through-the-years-823300400 Mahel]], of [[https://www.deviantart.com/cici88 Cici88's]] original story, [[https://efpfanfic.net/viewstory.php?sid=571005&i=1 Lagharta]]. Her brunette rapunzeline hair is a defining feature of her design and her status as a demi-god. In her story, hair length is representative of magical power and all goddesses in the story have magnificent manes. In Mahel's case, her hair is mid-back-length in the human world, but quickly starts to lengthen once her divinity begins to surface after entering Lagharta's world, amid other general tweaks of beautification. Until it's grown to her ankles and beyond.

[[folder:Western Animation]]
* ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'':
** Princess Bubblegum and Marceline have this, with PB's reaching roughly to her knees while Marceline's goes even farther than that.
** In [[Recap/AdventureTimeS2E10ToCutAWomansHair "To Cut a Woman's Hair"]], [[spoiler:Finn is revealed to have long, golden Rapunzel Hair hiding in his cap, although it was cut seconds later. While not at its original length, his hair once again qualifies for this trope as of "Flute Spell".]]
** In the episode "Bad Little Boy", Finn's GenderFlip counterpart Fionna is revealed to have this sort of hair.
** Ice King and his GenderFlip counterpart Ice Queen have this hair too.
* In ''WesternAnimation/AngelsFriends'', Raf, Cabiria, and Temptel all have this.
* ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'':
** Katara's hair, either in a braid or not, reaches all the way to her waist.
** Toph is mostly an aversion, as though the one time we see her with her hair out, it's freaking enormous, she normally keeps it in a tight bun roughly the size of the rest of her head.
*** When she appeared in the [[WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra sequel series]] episode "Korra Alone", her hair is long.
** Azula's hair is also pretty long when unbound.
* ''WesternAnimation/BeverlyHillsTeens'': Most of the girls aren't far from this trope. Also, in "Fairy Tale Fake Out" (a FairyTaleEpisode), Chester makes Blaze's hair (she is locked in a tower like Rapunzel) grow with some magic formula. It seems like the formula was flawed, though, since unlike normal hair, which can support twenty tons, the new hair couldn't even support the weight of the prince (Troy, that is).
* Jackie from ''WesternAnimation/BobbysWorld'' has two pigtails that drag on the ground.
* Jenny from ''ComicBook/BuckyOHareAndTheToadWars'' has hair down to her knees.
* Fangs from the Catalan cartoon ''WesternAnimation/CityMonsters'' (''Espantapànics'') has very long hair that touches the floor.
* One of the [[WhatCouldHaveBeen scrapped characters]] for ''WesternAnimation/TheCrumpets'' had [[https://the-crumpets.wikia.com/wiki/Unused_Characters?file=Kid8.png hair that drags on the floor]].
* ''WesternAnimation/CupcakeAndDinoGeneralServices'':
** One recurring character is a little girl named Lucy whose hair is twice as long as her body and is constantly dragging on the ground behind her.
** Uncle Chance is revealed in one episode to have a rather huge mane of hair underneath the bag he wears on his head.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheDanishPoet'': Ingeborg cuts a lock of her hair, gives it to Kasper, and vows to never cut it until they're reunited. Eventually it grows quite a bit longer than she is tall and she has to get neighborhood children to help her comb it, which is how Veselmay comes into her life.
* Both Jazz Fenton and Paulina from ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'' have hair down to their hips, but LiteralGenie Desiree is much more blatant in both length and width.
* ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'' has a FracturedFairyTale episode where Dee Dee reveals she has hair long enough to help her and her friends climb out of a monster's stomach when he eats them.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Disenchantment}}'': Queen Oona has hair that reaches the ground.
* Princess What's-Her-Name from ''WesternAnimation/EarthwormJim'' has a ponytail as large as she is.
* Trixie Tang and Princess Mandie on ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddparents'' both have hair down to their hips. Bigfoot's wife in "Scout's Honor" has hair down to her knees.
* On ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'', Mabel, Wendy, and Pacifica all have hair that goes down their waists.
* Abby Archer from ''WesternAnimation/{{Grossology}}'' has an overly large ponytail that goes down to her ankles.
* Ami Onuki from ''WesternAnimation/HiHiPuffyAmiYumi'' has hair that goes down to her waist.
* The French cartoon ''Jamie's Got Tentacles'' has Mrs. Mermoz, whose hair goes down to behind her knees.
* ''WesternAnimation/JimmyTwoShoes'' has Saffi, whose hair goes down to her waist.
* ''WesternAnimation/KaBlam'':
** "The Offbeats" has Repunzil, who has hair that, while not as long as her namesake, still trails a foot on the ground. In the The Offbeats Super Stuntacular in "Better Than A Poke In The Eye", she even uses her hair as a ladder to save August and September from drowning.
** As revealed in "I Just Don't Get It", June had knee-length hair in her audition tape.
* ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'':
** Kim's hair reaches to her waist.
** Monique's hair also reaches to her waist.
** Shego's hair reaches to her butt.
* Calamity Jane from ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfCalamityJane''. How she manages to hide her hip-length red locks under that hat is a complete mystery.
* Blythe Baxter from ''WesternAnimation/LittlestPetShop2012'' has hair that goes down to her waist. It is usually tied up in a ponytail or braids.
* ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'':
** Lila Rossi has hair that reaches down to her hips, notable in a show where everyone else has more normal haircuts.
** As Lady Noire, Marinette's hair grows to form a braid that goes past her legs, taking the place of Cat Noir's belt as her "tail".
* Agent Xero from ''WesternAnimation/TheModifyers''.
* [[ActionGirl Megan]] from the classic ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTVSpecials My]] [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTheMovie1986 Little]] [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyAndFriends Pony]]'' series had hair that was impressively long even when bound in a TomboyishPonytail.
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic:''
** Of the Mane Six, Fluttershy and Rarity have the longest tail and mane. Fluttershy's tail is the only one out of the Mane Six that trails on the ground. About Rarity, since hers is usually curled, it's hard to say whose is longer. Only in the Season 8 short "Rarity's Biggest Fan", we can see her mane uncurled and it is very, very long (even longer than Fluttershy's).
** Princesses Celestia and Luna have spectacularly long and large manes and tails.
** The Mane Six [[PowerMakesYourHairGrow gain this]] in [[SuperMode Rainbow Power mode]], as seen in the Season 4 finale.
* On ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'', Stacy Hirano's hair goes down to her waist and Jenny Brown's hair goes down to her butt.
* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'': Forget wearing capes, Blossom's orange locks are long enough to '''be''' a cape! This is noticeable when she's flying, as her ponytail sometimes uncurls to go past her feet. In the episode [[Recap/ThePowerpuffGirlss3E1FallenArchesTheManeEvent The Mane Event]], it's also long enough to support a highway for toy cars and be styled to look like a rabbit, both at the ''same time''.
* ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls2016'': In the episode [[Recap/ThePowerpuffGirls2016S02E28SugarSpiceAndSuperLice Sugar Spice and Super Lice]], Buttercup grows an impressively long mullet that drags on the ground even when she's flying. Her inability to take care of it ends up attracting the titular super lice.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'':
** Marge Simpson's enormous BeehiveHairdo, when worn down, is roughly waist length. This varies throughout the series; in the episode "Simpsoncalifragilisticexpiala(Annoyed Grunt)cious", it was briefly shown to be knee length, and that was when her hair was ''falling out''.
** Homer meets Rapunzel herself in a FracturedFairyTale themed episode. It turns out that, however long the hair may have been, it certainly wasn't strong enough to withstand Homer's weight.
* Sibella of ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooAndTheGhoulSchool'' has hair down to her ankles.
* ''WesternAnimation/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPower'':
** Adora's [[TransformationSequence transformation]] into She-Ra blesses her with this hair. (It stays about the same gold, but goes from a shoulder-length ponytail to mid-thigh and voluminous.)
** Entrapta is even more extreme, with MegaTwintails longer than she is tall. They're [[PrehensileHair prehensile]], and she uses them as extra hands or even feet, often seeming to hover because her hair's doing the walking.
* Stealth Elf from ''WesternAnimation/SkylandersAcademy'' has a long blue braid that reaches down to her feet. How she is such a good fighter and not constantly tripping over it is extremely impressive.
* ''WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil''
** Star Butterfly has hair that goes down to her knees.
** Recurring character Kelly has hair that goes down to her ankles and is so thick that she can cover her entire body with it and take on the appearance of a walking shrubbery. This is apparently normal where she comes from.
** Even Star's mother Queen Moon has the same kind of hair she does. She usually wears it in a large heart-shaped updo, but when dressed for battle, she wears it in a long braid. And as a teenager, Moon wore her hair loose just like Star does now (and in fact looked ''exactly'' like Star, except with a different hair color).
** Famous warrior turned axe crazy antagonist Mina Loveberry has this along with an OdangoHair style, two large hair buns with pigtails that fall to just above her ankles. [[spoiler: Her pigtails are unevenly cut shorter after being attacked by the corrupted unicorn in the magic realm in the finale.]]
* Several characters from ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' have incredibly long hair: [[ArcherArchetype Opal]] by extension, [[LongHairedPrettyBoy young Greg]], [[TalkingToThemself Stevonnie]], [[TheDividual Sapphire]], [[LadyOfWar Rose]]... Opal's hair goes down to her knees, and Stevonnie's hair just reaches the back of their thighs [[spoiler: (at least before Connie cut her hair short)]]. Every known fusion involving a Quartz has long hair as well since it seems to be a common trait among Quartz Gems.
* Starfire's hair was shortened for the animated ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'', on the other hand, villain Cheshire's hair was lengthened: it seems to fall to about her knees.
* Sierra from ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'' has hair reaching her butt (and she's the tallest girl), and given how it's braided it should be even longer. Unfortunately, [[spoiler:after her injury near the end of the season, she became bald. It grew back in ''All-Stars'', but it's a lot shorter.]]
* In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/TotallySpies'', Clover was captured and her hair was grown really long to be used as a wig. Unfortunately, it made her very weak. The other girls even used the hair Rapunzel style.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Tupu}}'': Tupu has hair that reaches her ankles, and she gets annoyed when people suggest that she gets it cut.
* One of the Ugly Princesses from ''WesternAnimation/{{Wakfu}}'' has Rapunzel Hair... and beard... and mustache... [[PrehensileHair that are prehensile]].
* ''WesternAnimation/{{WITCH}}'': Cornelia has long blonde hair which reaches her waist in human form and reaches past it in guardian form. Nerissa, the original keeper of the Heart and her ex-fellow guardian Kadma, also had very long hair in their youth.
** When transformed, Nerissa's hair reaches her feet. It's also fairly wavy and ends in a curl.
* In ''WesternAnimation/WinxClub'', the Winx members have flowing hair. In the beginning, it used to be at the hips but then increased to the knees when in a transformation of Enchantix or above, as well as in later seasons. Tecna is the exception, as her hair goes shoulder-length at the longest. Of the Trix, Icy and Darcy and long hair as well, especially Darcy as her hair reaches her knees.
* ''WesternAnimation/XiaolinChronicles'': Shadow has hair down to her knees.
* Artemis Crock from ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'' has very long blond hair that's usually in a ponytail that reaches her hips. In season 2, she cut her hair to just past shoulder length.

* Taylor Momsen had it as past her [[http://images.sugarscape.com/userfiles/image/APRIL2011/Amy/MomsenHair4.jpg waist at one point]] using hair extensions.
* [[http://www.testedich.de/quiz23/picture/pic_1179158222_11.jpg Empress Elisabeth]] ("Sisi/Sissi") of Bavaria. [[http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/95/Empress_Elisabeth_of_Austria_in_dancing-dress,_1865,_Franz_Xaver_Winterhalter.jpg Her hair was so long]] that it reached her ''feet'' and [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empress_Elisabeth_of_Austria#Beauty took several hours to comb and braid]], which she spent reading and writing letters while getting it done. Allegedly, one of her German hairstylists also had hair like that, which allowed her to take an occasional side job as Sisi's BodyDouble. When the empress had a headache (rather common, according to her), her hair was suspended by ribbons from the ceiling to take the weight off.
* The [[http://www.collectorsweekly.com/articles/the-seven-sutherland-sisters-and-their-37-feet-of-hair/ seven Sutherland sisters]], who traveled as a sideshow act with the Barnum & Bailey Circus, had 37 feet of hair between them, and sparked a fad for long hair in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. (Their father played on their fame to sell patent medicine hair tonic.)
* In the Qing dynasty, all men were required to shave their forehead and wear the rest of their hair in a braid down their back. As this braid was not allowed to be cut, on punishment of death, this resulted in some impressive hair lengths. Women, while not required to wear the braid, were expected to keep their hair long as a sign of propriety; rich women often would wear wigs made of hair sold by poor women to make their hairdos even more elaborate.
* In Heian Era Japan, court nobles--women and men both--wore their hair long and open, the longer, the better. Longer hair meant higher status, especially for women, where long, perfect hair cascading down to the train of their kimono was not only common but highly coveted and desired.
* Actress Patricia Morison was known for her hair, rumored to be 39 inches long.
* According to the Guinness World Records, the longest coif in the world belongs to Xie Qiuping, at 5.6m long.
