Basic Trope: A woman is nude, but her voluptuous hair cascades down her front, covering her 'private' areas.

  • Straight: Alice isn't wearing any man-made clothing, but her hair falls down the front of her body in such a way that it obscures her breasts.
  • Exaggerated: Alice's hair covers not only her breasts but also her crotch.
  • Downplayed: Alice is not naked, but her outfit is so sheer, she might as well be.
  • Justified:
    • Alice is a Reluctant Fanservice Girl who has learned to accept the inevitable, but took the precaution of letting her hair grow long to spare herself as much shame as possible.
    • Alice is a doctrinaire Granola Girl and neither wears clothes nor cuts her hair.
  • Inverted:
    • Alice is so fat that her hair is swallowed up into the folds of her body.
    • Alice's hair cascades down her back and covers her hindquarters, but her breasts and genitals are clearly visible.
    • Beehive Hairdo
  • Gender Inverted: Bob is nude, but his hair and beard are long enough to cover his genitalia.
  • Subverted:
    • Someone gets close enough to Alice to lift up her hair in hopes of getting a look at her nude body, but she's actually wearing a bikini.
    • At first, Alice's hair covers her breasts and crotch, but then she decides to move all her hair to the back, removing her only form of concealment.
  • Double Subverted:
    • It's painted on.
    • It snaps off the instant it's exposed.
    • But after going full frontal nude for a while, she decides to once again use her hair to conceal herself.
  • Parodied:
    • Alice derives her health from the length of her hair. If it is in any way severed, she runs the risk of catching a dreaded disease.
    • Alice's hair always conceals her front, even when she's moving around a lot or hanging upside-down. As it turns out, her hair is firmly stuck to her breasts, which Alice finds to make a pretty good (if painful) harness for her hobby of zip lining.
    • Alice has short hair that somehow always grows long enough to cover her chest when she's topless.
  • Zig Zagged: Alice does alot of running around, so sometimes her hair well conceals her breasts and crotch, and other times it doesn't.
  • Averted:
    • Alice does not appear nude at any point in the narrative.
    • Alice's hair isn't long enough to cover her body.
  • Enforced:
    • Alice's nudism is integral to her character, but her body can't be shown too explicitly lest the Moral Guardians' ire be provoked.
    • Alice's actress is willing to do things in her birthday suit — when she's not on national television.
  • Lampshaded: "Boy, that Alice has only enough modesty not to show her most graphic body parts."
  • Invoked: After becoming a nudist, Alice grows her hair long to compensate for losing the use of Victoria's Secret Compartment.
  • Exploited: The Big Bad has Alice committed on the grounds that her nakedness and long hair make her 'feral'.
  • Defied: Alice decides that if she'll be nude, she might as well bare everything, and cuts her hair at her shoulders.
  • Discussed:
    Bob: Either you're going to be a nudist or not, Alice. Make up your mind.
    Alice: I'll meet the two extremes halfway, because my hair isn't really clothing...
  • Conversed:
    • "Alice, at least, has the benefit of living in a fictitious world where there's never any inconvenient wind to blow her hair up and inflict shame on her."
    • "She's still completely naked. In real life, that girl will catch something, get arrested, freeze..." "And you're complaining?"
    • "Alice's hair won't protect her from menstruating."
  • Implied: Alice is typically referred to as "the more-or-less nude woman."
  • Deconstructed: Alice cuts her hair short in despair upon coming to the conclusion that just because she's a nudist, nobody respects her intelligence anymore.
  • Reconstructed: Alice comes to realize that not All Men Are Perverts upon meeting Bob, who is also extremely smart and who genuinely appreciates her for her brain and soul besides her body.
  • Played For Laughs: People interpret Alice's au natural state as a practical joke.
  • Played For Drama: Alice's Godiva Hair is a result of her Despair Event Horizon between people who want to have sex with her.
  • Literal Metaphor: Alice's hair is literally made out of Godiva chocolate.
