One good way to show how sweet and caring a mother is is to depict her with her hair tied in a loose braid or ponytail and put on her shoulder. For some reason, this detail immediately tells the audience, "Hey, this mom has to be nice and gentle!" This can be explained by the fact that mothers usually have less time to spend on their appearance than other women. Since the makers of a show probably don't want to make their characters ugly, one way to demonstrate motherhood is to give her a low-maintenance hairstyle. Housewives (most likely to be the mothers of young children) also need a hairstyle that's going to stay out of the way when they're doing housework and cleaning up. This may or may not come with an apron to further emphasize their motherhood. Since the hair is only tied up loosely, it creates a soft, relaxed, gentle appearance. Putting the hair over the shoulder allows you to see her hairstyle from the front, while also providing a slight element of Fashionable Asymmetry. Braiding the hair that way is also faster and easier than braiding it behind one's head, contributing to the low maintenance angle. Since mothers are often the object of a Death by Origin Story, this is also (infamously) known as the "Dead Anime Mom Hairstyle". note This also applies to non-motherly female characters (though their fate varies on each character) or even male characters. A Sub-Trope of Long Hair Is Feminine. Compare Ojou Ringlets, Regal Ringlets, and Girlish Pigtails. Contrast Braids of Action, Tomboyish Ponytail, and Prim and Proper Bun. |

Nayuki's mother Akiko from Kanon wears her hair in a braid that's draped over her shoulder. Naturally, she's very motherly, caring and kind, never questioning why Yuuichi keeps bringing strange girls home with him and treating them as though they're already part of the family. | |

Sleepless Domain reveals through a flashback that Heartful Punch's mom, Mitsuki, changed her hair from a ponytail to a side plait only after she was born. Not to break the pattern of the Dead Anime Mom Hairstyle, Mitsuki was killed in a monster attack not long after her daughter was born. | |

Ranma ½: Kasumi Tendo often wears a loose ponytail over her right shoulder, along with an apron. While she may only be the eldest daughter of the family, she handles the domestic duties of the Tendo household as the Team Mom. It becomes even more significant when it's revealed that she's filling in for their deceased mother. | |

Fire Emblem: Louise from Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade wears a braid over her left shoulder. She took care of her husband's apprentice, Erk, from childhood and reminded them both that they had to do things other than study. Gender Inverted in Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War. Lewyn wears his hair this way in Generation 2. Fittingly, he's a stern Team Dad in that part of the game. Mercedes from Fire Emblem: Three Houses sports this hairstyle, fitting with her personality as a kind, motherly girl who often tries to help her friends with their problems. She ditches it come the time-skip, however, having cut her hair much shorter. This has led some fans to joke that Mercedes cut her hair explicitly to avoid "Dead Anime Mom Hair" syndrome. While her time-skip hair in Three Hopes is a little longer, she doesn't keep the side-plait. |

Weiss' mother Willow has this hairstyle in RWBY. It has an expository element in two ways: she switched from a Prim and Proper Bun to a messy sidetail after years of alcoholism and the hairstyle also signifies that she still has a maternal side despite her Parental Neglect. Weiss herself has the same hairstyle for a while, and Word of God is that her hairdo signifies that she's rebelling against her megalomaniacal father Jacques. She changes her hairstyle around the same time his corrupt and power-hungry behavior is exposed, no longer needing to show defiance to the man she finally defeated. | |

Unsurprisingly, she turns out to be a Posthumous Character along with her husband, but she subverts the "nice and gentle" part since it turns out that she was a leader of a terrorist group. | |

Carla Yeager from Attack on Titan wore a loose ponytail over her right shoulder, fitting her role as a good mother to Eren and Mikasa. Her death was a major Cynicism Catalyst for her son Eren; since her role in the story draws similarities to Trisha Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist, this has led anime fandom in general to nickname the hairstyle the "Dead Anime Mom Hairstyle". | |

Annette is a subverted version of this in Resident Evil 2 (Remake). Her hair is in a ponytail over her shoulder, but she's quite cold and seemingly uncaring towards her daughter, Sherry, whom she scolds for not staying at home in the Zombie Apocalypse like she asked her to, even though Sherry states that it got too dangerous to stay home and she didn't pick up the phone when she tried calling her. Annette intinally writes Sherry off as a lost cause when she is infected with the G-Virus, but changes her mind after she pisses off Claire, who had been looking after Sherry in her place. When Annette is on her last breath after being heavily injured, she tells Sherry that she loves her and regrets not spending more time with her. | |

In Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA, Sella wears her white hair in a loose ponytail over her left shoulder, complete with apron and fluffy slippers. She's Ilya's caretaker in Fate/stay night as well, but since kaleid liner starts off in a much more normal domestic setting, she's ditched the hair-concealing uniform and looks like a standard anime mom, aside from the pseudo-albinism. | |

My-HiME: in episode 22 Natsuki has her hair done up in a simple braid worn over her right shoulder, interestingly enough after she's learned of her own late mother trying to sell her to the Sears organization. After learning about Shizuru's own betrayal kissing Natsuki as she slept off her injuries and possibly worse she returns to her usual loose style. | |

Fullmetal Alchemist: Trisha Elric, the late mother of Edward and Alphonse, wore her hair this way. Since we only see her in flashbacks, her loose ponytail over her right shoulder plus apron combo helps to quickly and effectively establish her role in the story. She was a domestic and caring mother, and her death symbolizes the loss of all peace in her son's lives as they strove to bring her back. | |

Nei'kalsa of Drowtales is shown with a braid over her right shoulder, which serves to emphasize her role as a mother figure to Sarnel (who's actually her brother, and while their mother is apparently alive, she's also out of the picture). Especially since Word of God clarifies that she's pregnant in that scene, she will soon be a mother for real. | |

Pear Butter, aka. Buttercup, of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. She was the mother of Big McIntosh, Applejack, and Apple Bloom. It's also heavily implied she died when Apple Bloom was younger. Her hair is more a side mane but it still applies. | |

Rielith in Steam Prison is the single mother of Merlot and wears her hair in a loose braid over her shoulder. One of the first things Cyrus notices is about her is her warm and gentle demeanor. She provides Cyrus with badly-needed shelter and support after Cyrus is exiled to the sanctuary district. In keeping with the trend in anime, she's also doomed. | |

In The Lunar Chronicles, Michelle, who raised her granddaughter Scarlet, is described as having "unkempt hair in its always crooked braid." It also fits her life as a busy, no-nonsense farmer. | |

In Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, Ruka Rengoku, late mother of the Flame Hashira, Kyojuro Rengoku, had one and naturally she was very impactful in Kyojuro's upbringing. All of Kyojuro's ideals and moral compass were pretty much shaped by her, and unfortunately her death sent the Rengoku household into a desolating spiral, with Ruka's husband Shinjuro becoming a deadbeat father drinking his sorrows away. | |

Mercedes from Fire Emblem: Three Houses sports this hairstyle, fitting with her personality as a kind, motherly girl who often tries to help her friends with their problems. She ditches it come the time-skip, however, having cut her hair much shorter. This has led some fans to joke that Mercedes cut her hair explicitly to avoid "Dead Anime Mom Hair" syndrome. While her time-skip hair in Three Hopes is a little longer, she doesn't keep the side-plait. | |
