If a character has long hair tied in a ponytail there is a chance that the hair will become undone during a fight or action scene. The probability of this happening increases with the intensity of the situation and the challenge the opponent poses. Of course, this isn't restricted to ponytails alone. Braids, twintails, hair loopies, and other hairstyles just begging to get undone while in the heat of battle also count.
It serves to give the character an instantly rougher, more primal and badass look that can underscore the seriousness or desperation of the situation. At the same time, unbound hair can also create a vulnerable look. In classical Japanese paintings defeated Samurai were often shown with messy or disheveled hair, so naturally many long haired anime characters end up looking like this when things are getting rough. It can also be used as Fanservice to make a character that much hotter while fighting, especially in combination with Clothing Damage.
Compare Close-Call Haircut. When the character undoes the hair willingly on camera see Shaking Her Hair Loose. If the ponytail gets severed completely, it becomes a Traumatic Haircut. If the character is using a Combat Haircomb to fasten their hair, then it naturally will go loose once used.
This can be very much Truth in Television, especially for those with hair that's not much longer than shoulder-length.
This has nothing to do with the Heavy Metal band Slipknot in ponytails.

Ranma ½: When Ranma's pigtail comes undone, his hair won't stop growing — fast. Yet another curse for the boy, this time because he ate a bowl of ramen with dragon's whisker on it; his ponytail holder is another dragon's whisker, which can stop the curse. Oh, and his hair doesn't grow when he's a girl. But once the men of the series know about it, they all want the dragon's whisker to solve their own problems with baldness - all of them, including his dad. Despite what common Fanon will tell you the hair growing ended in the same issue where it was introduced. Untying the ponytail does absolutely nothing now, and he just keeps it for the sake of Limited Wardrobe.

If you shoot an arrow just over one of your opponents' heads in a Towerfall Ascension match, it knocks off their hat or whatever headgear they had on. The unlockable Ancient Exile keeps her hair tied, so, if the above happens to her during a battle, her silvery locks flow down.

There was an epic battle when Bookman stole Kanda's hair tie. It involved Kanda beating much of the Black Order senseless in order to find out who was responsible.

Neji from Naruto gets his headband (and hairband) knocked loose in his fight against Kidomaru, and then it's used to save his life once everything is over.
This trope is more or less ubiquitous for any ninja who wear a headband. When that is knocked off (leaving their hair loose), it's a sign that they are in big trouble.

Beauty and the Beast:
Belle loses her (easily animated) ponytail only when things get dramatic, such as when she gets attacked by wolves during her escape from the Beast's castle.
Less dramatically, a single lock of Belle's hair frequently comes loose and falls over her eyes. She occasionally smooths it back up, but she ends up spending more time with hair in her face than not.
The producers did this to make her less perfect and more human.
The same thing happens with Gaston during his final fight with the Beast, starting out in a ponytail and ending up loose. The reverse happens to the Beast over the course of the film, as his hair goes from disheveled to trimmed and tied back. The exchange is both intentional and symbolic of the Beast becoming more civilized while Gaston reveals his evil heart.

It happens partially to Sasami in the 3rd Tenchi Muyo! OVA. When confronted with a high-ranking member of the Galaxy Police who's insistent in taking her and the rest of the gang in, she ends up grabbing one of her hair braids and pulling it off, converting it into a staff. She spends the battle with one pigtail up and one pigtail down, but once it's over, she's back to two pigtails.
On the other hand, it happens fully in the first Tenchi movie, Tenchi Muyo in Love. Achika, having seen Noboyuki's broken body, enters a state of Tranquil Fury that, when she faces Big Bad KAIN, the first thing that goes is her hair ties, which let her hair hang loose.

Happens a number of times in HeartCatch Pretty Cure! to Tsubomi/Cure Blossom. Whenever Tsubomi is knocked into the transition stage between normal and Precure, it differs if the animators want to keep her hair down or put them back in the usual twintails. In The Movie, Tsubomi takes a hit Erika directed at Olivier, blowing off her hairbow. Her loose hair causes him to snap out of his Superpowered Evil Side, though it's shown that Tsubomi can put it back to normal at any time by pulling her hair back into the ponytail again and her magic will fix it.

Inverted in Azumanga Daioh. When Sakaki gets upset during the third sports fest, she responds by removing a headband, letting her hair flow a little more freely than it had before, but then ties it back for the only time in the series.

Grrl Power analyzed the trope in the author's notes, where the author confessed that he discussed Maxima's hair coming out of its bun so easily at the press conference with his wife, noting that Max's slippery hair would take even more bobby pins than most. They decided the resident magic user gave her a magic scrunchie.

Wonder Woman (2017): Used for symbolic purposes in the No Man's Land scene. Through the first half of the film or so, Diana mostly wears her hair tied up and out of the way, even on Themyscira. When Steve takes her to the front lines and she sees what trench warfare is really like, she refuses to simply stand by and do nothing, pulling her hair out and dropping her cloak, revealing her full, iconic comics visage for the very first time.

Avatar: The Last Airbender:
Any time Katara is in a prolonged fight, her normal hair-loopies-with-bun-and-braid hairstyle will slowly become more and more disheveled until she's left with just a loose mass of hair. The first and most notable of these being her fight with Master Pakku.
The page image is of the time Azula had to use her royal hairpin as a blade brake.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine:
In the episode "Crossfire", there's a scene where Odo (distraught over his Unrequited Love for Kira) is seen in his quarters with a single strand of 'hair' falling across his face. This was an improvisation by actor Rene Auberjonois, based on a Japanese print he'd seen of a warrior in defeat. Some of the producers weren't happy (because Odo doesn't actually have hair as he's a shapeshifter) but eventually rationalized it as a symbol that Odo is going to pieces, in that he's no longer controlling all of his body. (You'd have thought that creating individual strands of hair would take more control than a single textured "hair" shape. The guy had problems duplicating lips and ears, for goodness' sake!)
The standard Cardassian hairstyle is very severely slicked back and shiny, to compliment their reptilian features and sleek metallic uniforms. Whenever Garak, or Dukat, or any other Cardassian gets their hair out of order, it is a sign something very, very serious is going on. It makes Garak look positively insane when he is pulling his 'wide eyes for emphasis' thing.

In Curse of the Golden Flower:
The Empress' hair comes undone while fighting with her stepson over a robe she wants him to wear. They're also apparently carrying on an illicit affair, and things almost get intimate before he runs off.
The Emperor also gets one of these later in the film, as he takes off his belt to beat his youngest son, Yu, who had just murdered his older half-brother both because of the aforementioned affair and Yu's own status as The Unfavorite.

Keychain of Creation features this on at least two occasions. A little unusually, rather than making the victim look more badass, it actually makes them look silly- it's a symbolic loss in a contest of skill and control. Said instances are a friendly competition here, and the outcome of a Single-Stroke Battle here.

Variation: Souichi's ponytail always comes loose or undone by Morinaga during foreplay in The Tyrant Falls in Love. Since he's normally domineering and bad-tempered, this is designed to make him look more feminine and consequently more ukeish and controllable when Morinaga gets to dominate him in bed.

The titular character in Jekyll & Hyde wears his hair in a ponytail while the good doctor is in control, but has it loose when Hyde comes out. It takes a bit of creative positioning and lighting to make it still appear that way when the two sides of his personality are arguing with each other.

Happens frequently to Abel Nightroad in Trinity Blood, though somewhat subverted. When his usually neatly tied-up ponytail comes undone, you've just succeeded in really ticking him off. When he deliberately takes it down, it's time to run. Justified (sorta) in that his Transformation Sequence involves his hair becoming prehensile and flailing around before appearing to blow straight upward. I kept waiting for him to strangle someone with it.

In the climax of Ojamajo Doremi's second season, Doremi's Odango come loose when she's hit by the Big Bad's curse and her magic crystal shatters. This finally reveals her hair to be waist-length, since it was the first time in the franchise she "let" it down. It seems to be symbolic for Doremi's Character Development into a more mature girl since neither Onpu nor Hazuki (both already rather mature to begin with) loses their ponytails upon shattering their crystals.

In Dragon Ball, for a time Future Trunks had long hair, which he kept in a ponytail (though he left the hair that framed his face loose, sort of defeating the point). When he went Super Saiyan, the ponytail stayed bound, letting the front bits spike up. When he went to his most powerful form, however, the band broke and the result was a large golden starfish for a haircut. Seriously.
As well, when Gohan has a stress-induced dream about Perfect Cell, when he strikes and kills Chi-Chi, the power of the blow ends up undoing her hair bun.
In Dragon Ball Super, Kale's ponytailed hair with bangs functions this way whenever she transforms into her Super Saiyan Berserk form.

In Sailor Moon, after fighting Pharaoh 90 and Mistress 9 alone behind a huge barrier maintained by the other soldiers, Sailor Moon walks out from the epicenter of the destruction holding baby Hotaru and with her signature odango hairstyle messed up and partially falling loose from her buns and missing some feathers from her hairclips. Not surprising since the battle took most of the night and she only emerges victorious the next morning after the dust clears. Her sailor suit is also extremely damaged and ripped. The other soldiers almost thought she was dead. This is the only time that her hair ever gets messed up or her suit damaged to that extent without her transformation failing.

There are several occasions of this happening to Miho in Megatokyo. The creator notes in the margins of the bound collection that he's been told that Miho's hairstyle is one that's very difficult to maintain.

Pretty Cure:
Happens a number of times in HeartCatch Pretty Cure! to Tsubomi/Cure Blossom. Whenever Tsubomi is knocked into the transition stage between normal and Precure, it differs if the animators want to keep her hair down or put them back in the usual twintails. In The Movie, Tsubomi takes a hit Erika directed at Olivier, blowing off her hairbow. Her loose hair causes him to snap out of his Superpowered Evil Side, though it's shown that Tsubomi can put it back to normal at any time by pulling her hair back into the ponytail again and her magic will fix it.
In Smile Pretty Cure!, when Akane's trying to catch up with a boy she was smitten with, her attempt to ride a bike to reach the airport ends up with her crashing into a bush. As she gets out and keeps running, her small rat tail gets mostly undone and she pulls the band off in frustration, spending the rest of the episode with her hair loose.

Ace Attorney:
In Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, Maya Fey ends up wearing her hair completely open for the first time in the series when the evil spirit of Dahlia Hawthorne is finally exorcised out of her body. She collapses out of exhaustion seconds after this.
There is also Kristoph in Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney after his breakdown. By the time it ends, his hair flows down in a complete mess.

Played with and subverted in Negima! Magister Negi Magi. Setsuna and Kaede's hair fell rather undramatically only because Chao used a time stop with her Cassiopeia to take their hairbands from them within a single instant. This wasn't for a show in badass-edness or to show that they'll win the fight. This was used to show how utterly screwed they are. Played straighter with her final battle against Negi at the end of the School Festival when her hair buns loosened. Tsukuyomi also has a way of loosening her elaborate hairstyles during combat (why anyone would wear extravagant, Victorian-stylized clothes to sword fights... who knows).

Subverted in the Firefly episode "Jaynestown"; when Book lets down his hair, it is not sexy, but (hilariously) terrifying, to the point of freaking River out and sending her running for cover. The sight is enough to give even Zoe pause.

Rurouni Kenshin:
Tomoe's ponytail loosens in right before her Heroic Sacrifice by throwing herself between Kenshin and his enemy.
Likewise, this happens to Kenshin himself in his first battle with Saito, though in this case it's played as unsettling rather than hot as Kenshin's Battousai mode is coming out simultaneously.
Also happened to Kenshin in the second prototype story. The girl he rescued tied his hair up with her ribbon afterward, and he apparently had no clue that ribbons were for women, thereby making it an opportunity for "Kenshin is hot and scary" followed by "Kenshin is adorable and clueless".
Also happens to Yumi during the Kenshin/Shishio fight in the anime. When Shishio runs through her with his sword, her headgear breaks and her hair is loose as she falls into Shishio's embrace.
happens to kenshin in Ova Rurouni Kenshin Reflection when he fights against Enishi

Star Trek: Voyager :
Although not quite fanservice, Capt. Janeway's hair was apparently psychically linked to the well-being of Voyager itself. Every time a battle started going badly, Janeway's hair started escaping its pins. It looks very dramatic -until some smart-aleck starts going "Hairstyle at 86% integrity" "That last shot took out the braid, bobby pins are failing"
On the other hand, it was definitely fanservice whenever Seven of Nine's hairdo started coming apart—it implied that she was defrosting a little, if only from sheer stress.

In Tales of the Abyss, this happens in the second half of the final battle with Van Grants. Considering how he managed to pull off the same effect that most final Tales bosses have to transform into large, grotesque creatures in order to achieve just by taking off his shirt and letting his hair down, the battle ended up being that much more badass for it.

In Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance when the player fights Mistral her hair starts out mostly brushed off to one side and almost looks like it's tucked into her suit somehow. By the time Raiden pushes her into last phase of the battle, it's loosely splayed around her shoulders.
