A close cousin to the Standard Female Grab Area where, if whoever it is can't grab hold of the woman's wrist or upper arm, they'll just grab onto her hair instead. Obviously a lot more realistic than a wrist being the weak point, as anyone who has had their hair pulled can vouch for how painful it is. While this typically happens to long-haired women, it can apply to anyone with enough length to grab — even a man's hair or beard (though male examples are rare outside of Professional Wrestling). It can be played for comedy or drama, depending on the situation. Hair pulling is almost obligatory in a Cat Fight, but may be less common in a Designated Girl Fight as Action Girls tend to rise above such cheap tactics. If it's happening to a mean girl, then it might cause a Hairstyle Malfunction if she's wearing extensions. Vain characters will react strongly to having delicate or elaborate hairstyle ruined in this way. If the girl happens to be badass, then expect her to sometimes overcome this problem by cutting the hair off at the point where it's being held. See also Life-or-Limb Decision and Giving Them the Strip. Truly dark examples can combine this trope with others like Slashed Throat and Off with His Head! where the vulnerable head and neck becomes easier to exploit when it is restricted in this fashion — the grip also lends itself perfectly to making a Decapitation Presentation. This trope can fail as an attack if attempted on someone whose long hair is actually a removable wig or toupee, although emotional effects like distress or rage might be inflicted if the said target was seriously attempting to maintain a facade of having a good head of hair and end up being exposed by this trope. In a non-malicious, though still harmful way, this can be a form of Lacerating Love Language among younger children, mostly of boys towards girls. Covers the classic "caveman dragging a woman by the hair" bit — the man finds a mate by clubbing her over the head and then dragging her off to his cave by her hair. For the record, while hair pulling is painful, the commonality of the "dragging her around by the hair" bit in film and television is because it's fairly easy to stage and relatively painless. Notice that when the man grabs her by the hair, she immediately grabs onto his wrists. Usually at this point, the puller lets go of the hair, and instead drags the woman around by the arms instead. All the kicking and screaming? She's usually digging her heels into the ground for leverage and trying to help him by making herself lurch ahead. Note that historically, long hair was not as much of a disadvantage as it is sometimes portrayed. In a real fight, unless one side is completely unarmed, there's much better ways to attack an enemy than grabbing their hair, especially if the opponent is armed. For that reason, hair grabbing is often a tool of last resort or a dirty fighting move while both combatants are unarmed. |

Digimon: LadyDevimon employs this against Angewomon whenever they meet, much to Angewomon's outrage. Digimon Adventure: During their first battle, LadyDevimon manages to catch Angewomon defenseless and from the behind while Angewomon is struggling to repel LadyDevimon's Darkness Wave. However, instead of delivering a killing blow or using her powers, LadyDevimon chooses to further humiliate Angewomon by grabbing Angewomon by her long blonde hair and swinging her around like a rag doll. This requires AtlurKabuterimon to step in and save Angewomon, but the now enraged Angewomon rebukes him for interfering. She then uses AtlurKabuterimon as a launching pad from which she kicks off to shoot back towards LadyDevimon, then Bitch Slap her, initiating a Cat Fight between the two which culminates in LadyDevimon roundhouse kicking Angewomon to the ground while delivering yet another insult about Angewomon's hair. Digimon Adventure 02: LadyDevimon once again catches Angewomon from behind in their second battle, and she once again grabs onto Angewomon's hair in lieu of finishing Angewomon off, igniting yet another Cat Fight between the two. |

Ranma ½: It's somewhat of a Running Gag for Akane Tend� to grab her fiancé Ranprma by the pigtail to get him out of the way, or even to drag him to school when they're late. Although Ranma occasionally calls her a "cavewoman", he's beyond protesting it in the slightest and merely ignores it; he once keeps eating his breakfast while being horizontally dragged to school. | |

Where Are the Children? features a rare sympathetic example. During the climax, Carl has hold of Missy atop a widow's walk and loses his balance. Nancy lunges for Missy and grabs the nearest part of her she can reach, which is her long hair. She clings on until Ray arrives to pull them both to safety. | |

In The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea Scuttle attempts to stop Morgana by pulling her hair with his talons. This happens to Ursula in The Little Mermaid (1989) as well, when Ariel pulls her hair to throw off her blast from the Trident to save Eric. It was an especially impressive move because Ursula has extremely short Power Hair, meaning there wasn't much to grab. |

Naruto: During the Chunin Exams, Sakura has to fend off a competing team of Sound ninja who have come to fight an incapacitated Sasuke. One of the ninjas, Kin, grabs Sakura by the hair and ridicules her for spending more time keeping it clean than training her skills. Sakura frees herself by slicing through her hair with a kunai. Played for Laughs when Hidan is decapitated. Kakuzu picks up his head by the hair and Hidan starts whining that it hurts. Kakuzu comments on how strange he is since he barely reacted to getting stabbed and decapitated. In the Canon movie The Last, just before Naruto and Toneri's Cock Fight on the moon, Toneri grabs Hinata by the hair and throws her into a cage so that she'll be Forced to Watch as he tries to kill Naruto. |

Dragon Ball: Contrary to initial appearances, Krillin is bald by choice, specifically to avert this trope. When he retires from fighting, he grows a thick mop of black hair and a rocking 'stache Dragon Ball Z: After sending Vegeta flying into a lake, Frieza grabs the barely-conscious Saiyan by his hair and proceeds to beat the shit out of him some more. In a "fight" that is already brutal as all hell, Spopovich grabs Videl by the hair, causing her to let out a bloodcurdling, high-pitched shriek, shortly before kneeing her in the face. Dragon Ball Super: Vegeta does this to Goku Black, picking him up by the hair after a beatdown and headbutting him. Later in the Tournament of Power, Jiren ends up doing the same to Goku in their first fight. He then punches him in the stomach and launches an energy blast that nearly rings him out. Dragon Ball Z: Broly – The Legendary Super Saiyan: Piccolo grabs a handful of Vegeta's hair when trying to force the unusually cowardly Saiyan prince into joining the fight. |

Total Drama: For the determination she showed during her first dare in "No Pain, No Game", Lindsay gets to choose the next victim and the dare they have to complete. She wants to pass on it, but Eva, who has it out for Bridgette, grabs Lindsay by the hair and pulls her close to give her instructions. Properly intimidated, Lindsay tells Chris to put Bridgette in a barrel of leeches. In "One Million Bucks B.C.", Heather is bothered that Lindsay still has a full head of hair when she is the reason Heather lost all of hers. An opportunity for some revenge presents itself when Lindsay asks for help getting a knot out. Heather offers and painfully yanks on Lindsay's hair with a brush multiple times until the knot comes out. Sierra makes Team Amazon look bad in front of Team CIRRRRH in "Can't Help Falling in Louvre" with her bawling and ice cream munching over Cody's rejection. Since Heather can't get her to stop, she instead grabs Sierra's ponytail and drags her away to the then-unoccupied common area. During a confessional in "This Is the Pits!", Scarlett shares that her brother pulled her hair once. In retaliation, she made his remote controlled toys attack him every night for six years. This came back to bite Scarlett in "Scarlett Fever" when Sugar beats her up and hogties her with her own hair in order to stop her from controlling the island and destroying it. |

Soul Eater: A chapter has a rather jarring example: Maka and Soul try to fix the damage Crona's black blood has done to some DWMA members. They even join hands as they use Soul Resonance together, and enter the room where the members are being held. The next thing we see is Soul dragging Maka out by her hair, as his own black blood has started to act up the moment he got close to another source. Stein also does this to Maka when he pretended to want to dissect her. |

A common tactic when the gangs fight in Weak Hero, and a showing of how brutal and lawless said fights are. When Helmet grabs Gray from behind, Gray reprimands him for not immediately throwing a punch or instead grabbing him by the hair. He then demonstrates the effectiveness of it by grabbing Helmet's hair and smashing him into the nearby wall. When Alex tries to avoid a fight with Jimmy Bae, Jimmy leaps forward to drag him into the room by his hair and then beat him down brutally while continuing to hold him in place. To show his superiority to the previous Arc Villain, Wolf grabs Forrest by the hair and pulls him close for a verbal beatdown. Donald does the same when it's Wolf's turn to be taken down a peg. When Alex offers himself up to be beaten in Ben's place, Donald grabs him by the hair to assert his authority. Fortunately, he's called away before either of them are hurt. |

MsChif likes to pluck hairs out of the heads of opponents she has in submission holds, and prior to matches will sometimes pull her own hair to show it won't work on her. This backfired against Amazing Kong, who proved she could pull MsChif's hair much harder than MsChif could and later lead to an iconic SHIMMER image where Kong interrupted a photo session meant to hype a title match by taking MsChif and LuFisto in this manner. | |

Batman: When Batman meets Batwoman for the first time post-Final Crisis, he warns her that having long hair is a liability in a fight, since any Mook could grab it. She smirkingly replies that she'll take it under advisement, but the joke's on him since Kate is smart enough to know this, and her long hair is actually a wig that covers her real hair, which is much shorter, as well as helping disguise her identity. Later on when someone actually does try this they are quite surprised when they pull off her wig instead, giving her time to escape. Batwoman (Rebirth): Played with in issue #4. Knife grabs Kate by the wig and swings her into a rock pillar, even though the wig reasonably should've detached, as it's been shown to do in earlier Batwoman comics.

This ends up being one of the clues Jonathan picks up on that a video showing the mistress having her hair cut off, which was supposedly recorded before the fight, has to have been recorded later as no wig or extensions could have stood up to such rough treatment. | |

Batwoman (2019). Kate Kane uses a long red wig both to hide her identity and distinguish herself from Batman, whom everyone initially thinks has returned to Gotham after a three-year absence. Unlike the comics the wig is attached to her cowl, causing this trope to happen in the Batwoman Cold Open of "If You Believe In Me, I'll Believe In You". | |

The next time we see Mallory her hair is up in a ponytail but when it's down at the end of the film, it seems their mother just untied the hair rather than cutting it to free her. | |

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power: Entrapta has her hair pulled by Adora in her debut episode "System Failure" so she would be saved by a rampaging robot. Since her hair is prehensible and sensitive to touch (she giggles when someone tickles it), it must hurt more than regular hair, but that doesn't keep her from having it pulled a lot during Season 5: Mermista pulls Entrapta's hair apparently to stop her from commiting suicide by running into a group of Horde Robots (and probably out of frustration, too), after the scientist runs away in tears because the princesses yelled at her. Entrapta has to explain she wants to track the signal of Horde Prime, so they'll be able to save Glimmer (who is kept as a hostage by Prime), for Mermista to release her, and the latter never apologizes for being such a bully. During "Saved the Cat", she has her hair pulled by a clone she mistaken for Hordak. Bow saves her by electrocutating him with an arrow, but that disconnects the clone from the Hive Mind, causing him to burst into tears. He ends up adopted by Entrapta with the name of "Wrong Hordak". In the final episodes, Horde Prime does that twice. First, he appears in a hologram, holding an unconscious Entrapta by her hair; and after Hordak kills his body, he possesses him and drags Entrapta by her hair again. She is saved by She-Ra. |

In the very first episode of the show, during the chase with the police officers, one of them grabs Korra's ponytail with his grapple line. She responds by waterbending a huge wall of ice behind her, causing said officer to slam straight into it and slide off it. |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: In "What's My Line?", Buffy does this to Kendra after lampshading the Cat Fight trope. In "The Initiative", Xander comes across vampire Harmony and after mutual Badass Boasts, they have a comical Wimp Fight that ends with them agreeing to let go of each other's hair on the count of three, then go their separate ways and never speak of this again. In "Family" the Scoobies pull a Go Through Me when Tara's abusive family tries to take her home. When Dawn steps up Buffy warns Mr. Maclay to take her seriously because "she's a hair-puller". |

The Three Stooges: A common way for Moe Howard to yank Larry around. Sometimes others would grab a hunk of his hair too. Another gag would have Moe, after manhandling Larry, to try this on Curly ... nyuk nyuk nyuk. | |

The Murderbot Diaries: When Wilken pulls a Bodyguard Betrayal in Rogue Protocol, she grabs her target by the hair and says "It's not personal" before trying to shoot them — an utterly pointless bit of cruelty that slows her down enough for a bystander to stop her. | |

Rapunzel in Tangled has this happen to her a couple of times, understandable since she has over 70 feet of hair. It even gets used as a gag at one point. She also uses it to subdue other people, notably when she ties Flynn up after he breaks into her tower. | |

In The Walking Dead (Telltale), Lee gives Clementine a haircut to prevent this kind of attack after one of the St. John brothers grabs onto her hair and pulls her back to keep Lee from attacking him, and one of the pieces of advice you can give her as Lee is dying is to keep her hair short. At the end of the final episode of Season 3, Javier gives her a trim, making it more or less the length of a pixie cut, and in Season 4, during her dream sequence, if that's what Lee's parting words of wisdom were to her, he examines her hair and says, "I thought I told you to keep this short," to which she responds that scissors are hard to come by. | |

Dragon Ball Z: After sending Vegeta flying into a lake, Frieza grabs the barely-conscious Saiyan by his hair and proceeds to beat the shit out of him some more. In a "fight" that is already brutal as all hell, Spopovich grabs Videl by the hair, causing her to let out a bloodcurdling, high-pitched shriek, shortly before kneeing her in the face. |

In the Emergency! fic Lost and Found, there's a rare male one, albeit with long hair. John Gage has a flashback dream of the guy who'd held him captive for 18 months grabbing him by the hair to drag him into his "punishment room" when he decided John was misbehaving. John's hair had grown longer during his ordeal, though it always was so long it was just within firefighter regulations, even in canon. | |

On Gor a semi-standard way to control a slave girl without using chains is for the man to hold his hand at about waist-height, and the girl places her head there where he grabs her hair and basically pulls her about. | |

This happens to Ursula in The Little Mermaid (1989) as well, when Ariel pulls her hair to throw off her blast from the Trident to save Eric. It was an especially impressive move because Ursula has extremely short Power Hair, meaning there wasn't much to grab. | |
