Four o Four, let down your long hair!

I saw @makiionfire’s art yesterday of Four brushing out Wilds hair and the idea of Rapunzel!Four has not left me alone since.

following on from Rapunzel!Four. More detail on chosen hairstyles below.

Vio keeps his hair in a central dutch braid, so it is out of his face and so that his sword hilt and bow/arrows are less likely to be caught in it.

Red likes the feeling of his two long braids down his back and them twirling when he dances

Blue wants his hair up and out of the way so it cant get caught in his sword hilt or overhead hammer swings, nor be a fire hard when he is in the forge. He uses a headband to keep flyaways out of his face. After experimentation they realised he could do an undercut without affecting Fours hair too much (its not THAT much thinner underneath Vio!) to reduce the bulk and size of the very grabbable-in-combat bun. When he tried to keep his hair short as Four’s grew out it lead to awkwardly dispersed short hair that stuck out all over so the Colours bullied him into keeping it long, the undercut was the compromise.

Green also wants his hair tidy and out of the way, but hasn’t gone for an undercut to reduce bulk so he keeps his braids coiled into two low buns behind his ears / at the nape of his neck, and uses a headband to keep any loose hair away from his face. The hair is too weighty to pin up, so he has learnt to turn his head slightly when he draws his sword to prevent catching it, on the days where he doesnt just wear his sword at his hip.
