** Alice is capable of magically changing her hair's length. When she takes off the helmet she transforms it from short to long.

* '''Parodied''': Alice disguises herself with a pair of CoolShades and a bald cap; all she all to do is whip off the former, and the latter ''vanishes'' while her hair dramatically unfolds and ripples around her.
* '''Zig Zagged''': ???
* '''Averted''': Alice modifies her helmet by either lengthening it so that she can fit all of her hair inside, or making a place to thread a ponytail through.

* '''Invoked''': ???

-->'''Alice:''' ...you've never had long hair, have you Bob? It's just a crown braid--I braid it, loop the braid up over my head, and use ribbon to tie it in place. ''All'' knights wear padding under helmets--they're not exactly comfortable, you know. My hair just gives me an extra layer of padding.

* '''Played For Laughs''': Alice ''thinks'' she's a MasterOfDisguise, but it's really a PaperThinDisguise. When she goes for the big, dramatic reveal, her hair explodes into a FunnyAfro, and she goes into a HeroicBSOD over her horrific case of hat hair.

'''Basic Trope''': Hiding a character's distinctive hair under their headgear despite the difficulty of doing so.
* '''Straight''': Farah has long, thick red hair that she normally wears in a ponytail. She's later [[SamusIsAGirl revealed to be none other than]] the [[KnightInShiningArmor heroic Knight of Dawn]], who wears a golden helmet.
* '''Exaggerated''': Celina has [[RapunzelHair extremely long]], [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair frost-blue hair]] [[MulticoloredHair with white and silver streaks]]. She is also secretly the PhantomThief After-Illusion, and hides her identity with a CoolMask, NiceHat and a short black wig.
* '''Downplayed''': Farah's hair is only moderately long, and just might fit under her helmet, which is roomy.

** Farah is capable of magically changing her hair's length. When she takes off the helmet she transforms it from a practical bob to its original style.
* '''Inverted''': Princess Velvet is known for her luxuriously long violet RegalRinglets; unbeknownst to all, however, her signature hairstyle is actually a wig -- she's secretly cut her ''real'' hair into a simple, short bob so that she can conceal her identity easier when working outside the castle.
* '''Subverted''': When Farah unmasks, it's shown that she got an ImportantHaircut in order to hide her identity as the Knight of Dawn.

* '''Parodied''': Celina disguises herself with a pair of CoolShades and a bald cap; all she all to do is whip off the former, and the latter ''vanishes'' while her hair dramatically unfolds and ripples around her.
* '''Zig Zagged''': Farah, Celina and Velvet all appear in the same series, with Farah playing it straight, Celina going to the exaggerated extreme, and Velvet inverting it.

* '''Lampshaded''': Upon TheReveal, [[TheHero Hiro's]] {{Jaw Drop}}s: "''How'' did you fit ''all that hair'' in there?!"

* '''Exploited''': Farah uses this as part of her denial. When accused of being the Knight of Dawn she tugs on her hair and states that she wouldn't be able to get it under a helmet that size. She has a different way to manage it in reality.
* '''Defied''': Farrah tries to fit it under the helmet but gives up and lets her hair flow out from the back, unbound because the ponytail would look too obviously female. This becomes an iconic part of the costume.
* '''Discussed''': ???
