Hair Transformation
 

Hair Transformation:

Transformation of an individual, focusing mainly on the hair upon her head.

- Hair Growth/Inflation -

Growth of a girl's head at a rate unnatural, possibly rapidly.
Other qualities such as fullness to the hair can come into order.

Ex. Girl is in a subway after showering with a new shampoo. Something is wrong though, her hair seems longer than before... This scene will continue where her hair grows rapidly down her body, filling the train, or whatever desired.

- Hair Appearance Transformation -

Transformation of style, color, and in all, appearance of an individual's hair.
This of course can collaborate with hair growth.

Ex. A meek conservative girl's boring hair becomes wild and sexy, even changing colors to her surprise.

- Hair Animation/Life -

Hair on an individual springs to life and becomes animated, either with control or without. It can grab hold of things or whatever desired.

One of my favorite aspects of a TF that gets sadly undersold!

You might enjoy Ranma season 5 episode 2.

That was one I thought of off the top of my head...

I've always liked this one. The idea of living hair is interesting, especially when it doesn't follow the orders of whoever it's attached to. ;)

I am fairly sure Uzumaki and Jigoku Sense Nube has that.

Uh...


Hair inflation?

That sounds a tad odd if you ask me...
Do to the fact that hair isn't really all that thick, unless it's the plastic-lump hair you get with costumes and cheap toupees.

Hair inflation doesn't inflate via like a balloon or like most of body.
In hair inflation, the hair gains fullness and size through a gas hose or whatever. You can find some art of this on DA.

So I guess this can be counted as Hair animation? From the manga Penguin Musume. Penguin doesn't realize about her living hair and that it also talks lol.

Oh! So would living body parts count as well? I mean like boobs taking a mind of their own? Weird thought...

Haha, wow! That's a neat one.

Thanks for the find, acme!

Just thought this morning of Millia Rage from the Guilty Gear series who uses her hair as a weapon...Fits under your Hair Animation/Life category.

That raises even more questions...
Such as, how does the hose attach to the hair in the first place, is it inflated through one of the biggest stock inflation parts(AKA the mouth; used for all forms of inflation, for no explained reason, I mean the belly and body expansion would make sense, due to the fact that it leads into the stomach, which digests a lot of stuff, thus spreading it to the entire body, through the blood system and what not).

then what would keep it from floating off the head if it was inflated with helium, because hair will come out with enough pressure, and the bond of the hair to the scalp would break before it lifted the body off the ground. But then again, helium, even with the many strands of hair, wouldn't be enough to lift the average human(of any size) off the ground, even if they inflated to three times their original size with the helium.

For the record, I'm not attacking the hair inflation stuff, I'm just trying to figure it out, and I'm outrageously bored at the moment.

Shadow, quite over analyzing it.

The hair just gets bigger when they get inflated by hose. It is all imaginary stuff, it can work however you like.
