Rapunzel's hair


So once her hair is cut, it will never grow back?

reply

when it's first cut, it's very ragged and uneven, but in the homecoming celebration and the Tangled ever After Wedding, it looks like it's filling out somewhat.

Oh ok I'm sure she doesn't mind getting a break after all those years...lol

I'm not sure what Disney's stance is on that. But I don't see why it wouldn't grow back. Rapunzel has lost all her magic, so it seems to me that her hair and body have turned normal.

She lost her magic? Is seemed to me like it was always inside her the whole time and it was just her hair that was like a gateway to it but maybe that's just me

I think the issue is the tear used to bring Flynn back.

Many theorize that tear was the drop of sunlight, and contained the magic Rapunzel had. The tear's magic was the fully expended to resurrect Flynn.

If you're happy and you know it, go sit in the corner and think about your life.

She lost her magic?


Yes, I believe that with the tear she lost her last bit of magic. Her hair was cut off at that point and couldn't work as a gateway anymore. That tear was the drop of sunlight, it was like a seed that left her body and healed Flynn's wound (we can see a new flower growing from it).

reply

Wouldn't that make Flynn immortal? I keep thinking Rapunzel was immortal when she had her magic hair.

reply

I don't think Rapunzel was immortal, she seemed to age normally and I saw no other signs of her having eternal life. But Flynn was simply healed by the teardrop, he was not a growing foetus who absorbed the power of the drop of sun.

reply

Maybe she keeps it short on purpose now.

reply

Well her hair is still short and brown when she shows up in Frozen.

reply

That's because it's an eater egg, not canon. If she had long hair, for that quick second shot, then she wouldn't be recognizable.

When Rapunzel showed Flynn her brown hair from when it was cut as a baby, it was still only a couple inches long. It doesn't grow back. Which begs the question: WHY couldn't Flynn have left a few more inches of Rapunzel's hair before hacking it off?! He had to chop of ALL of it? Bugs me so much.

Judging from the small strand that Gothel cut when Rapunzel was a baby that never grew back, I'm guessing not, but I quite like that. I loved her short hair and actually couldn't stand her long hair. For herself it must also be so freeing as her hair was literally the reason she was kept as a prisoner for so long and it must feel so much lighter for her. I think it's also nice that we now have a princess with short hair, besides Snow White (and Mulan but hers was to pretend to be a man).

True, Mulan's hair was never particularly short. She was just the only other example I could think of that might count because her hair still seemed slightly shorter than the others (even though, obviously it's not that short). I guess that shows just how few of them have short hair that I had to grasp that far out to list someone else.

Snow White's hairstyle was chosen because it reflected the time the film was made and not when it was set. I think Disney actually have a habit of doing that with most of them.

Even though I'm not the biggest Tangled fan ever (I like it but it's not one of my favourites), part of me really hopes they do make a second one just so that Rapunzel can have her short hair for a whole movie and people will actually acknowledge that as her hairstyle. Especially because her short hair symbolises her freedom. I really think their should be more merchandise to do with Mulan in her soldier gear and Rapunzel with her short hair. I don't think there would be any lack of people buying it.
