Hello,
I thought it would be fun if we share our cartoon inspirations. I know their not real but some of their hair is so damn dreamy :')! If you like you could also add why they inspire you. So without further ado, here are mine:
- Merinda (I love that she has long curly hair)

- Chel (Love her length)
http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/49/ac/ad/49acadfba5150e099c8c35a128885241.jpg

- Silvermist (love her length and her hair colour, the slight blue is amazing)
http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/236x/ca/0d/9f/ca0d9f36ab2a23fb818626f856795f8b.jpg

- Marceline (just love it) and Bubblegum (hair made out of bubblegum? Both cute and weird, Love it!)
http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/236x/64/82/11/648211ab004a9201c1224841fe9a7086.jpg

- Jasmine

- Katara

(I hope these picture come up)
If this has been done before then apologies.

I love Merida and Jasmine! My other favorite Disney gals are Ariel, Pocahontas, and Rapunzel (even though I would never want hair that was 70ft long). I also loved (Don Bluth's) Thumbelina, with her calf length red hair. :crush:

I know I can never have hair like theirs and that hair that thick and perfect and beautiful only exists for about 0.000001% of people (if even that many), but I just love looking at it. :inlove:

Pocahontas's hair was a jaw dropper for me when I was a kid. I was so sad that I would never be like her, I would forever be pasty and have hair thin hair. Still jealous!

Pocahontas is an inspiration to me. I love her color and length. :)

I am stoked for this thread, I was feeling weird for looking up to a cartoon character. Starting bald the last time in June, my goal is to grow my hair out like P'li from Legend of Korra.

I've had very short hair for the last 6ish years so I don't think I could handle a full head of hair, and with this hairstyle I feel I would get the best of both worlds.

Skyward Sword Zelda

When I was young, I wanted hair just like this, but my mom was always cutting it. LOL.

Pocahontas, Marceline, and Bubblegum princes all have the hair i've been wanting for so long. It would be kind of weird if my hair were really bubblegum though :P But i think i'd rather have Rapunzels hair! thats my ultimate favorite :P

I've loved her hair ever since I was a child, and as of late I feel like I can relate to her hair type (fine,straight, flat hair! can't wait until I have enough length to imitate her buns...)

I've always wanted long hair, but that scene in Season 2 of Avatar where Katara wrings out the bottom portion of her hair. I don't know why, but I really wanted to be able to do that with mine. I'd also love to have Katara's thickness and texture, but with my 2a hair that's just not happening.

Avis - Oooo, I love Pocahontas' hair too :D and thumbelina was one of my favorite films growing up. Her hair is LOVELY but I think her incredible thickness is helped by the fact she's only a few inches tall :). If only ey? :')

Lady Mary - Pocahontas hair is gorgeous. Your hair in your signature picture looks really lovely and shiny :).

curlylocks85 - Pocahontas does have lovely length and it flatters her so well. Jealous :P.

misslari - Wow! that is a lovely hair style. I'm tempted to pin that picture and attempt a similar style when my hair grows out enough (A LOOOOONG Time xD). I'm a huge last avatar: the last airbender fan but I've been procrastinating watching legend of Korra. You, darling, have just motivated me :D.

Ghirazel - Princess Hilda has lovely purple hair, I've always really been into the 'unnatural' hair colours and hers looks very lovely. Wow! that gif :O. The length, the bounce, just wow! You had lovely hair taste as a child :)

gthlvrmx - Rapunzel does have amazing hair. The thing that amazes me the most about it is how thick it is all the way down. Its defiantly inspirational if not a little drool worth.

kelseyxface - her buns are the cutest! Love them.

Marbid - Her hair is stunning.

Creagan - I love Katara's thickness also

Pocahontas seems to be quite a popular choice for cartoon inspiration, In honor of this I think a picture of Pocahontas' hair should be posted:

I've never watched this show, but I thought of the girl from xxxHolic's hair immediately:

http://i59.tinypic.com/akkcns.jpg

I even had a hime-cut for a while just for a change, but it got to be a pain int the butt straightening the bobbed part.

I grew up watching Sailor Moon, and Sailor Mars was definitely an influence on my ideal hair :D Also Queen Serenity, but white hair isn't in the cards for me. (I've tried. I failed.)

Not sure if this counts, since it's more like a comic thingy than cartoon, but I really like how Jötun Loki is often depicted with long hair that has lots of beads and braided parts in it. Makes me wish I had hair that could be decorated like that, too... which was one of the reasons why I really began growing my hair :D

The longer it gets, the more I seem to enjoy it. I can't wait to use it like a blanket!

Haha you're right about Thumbelina! In reality, her hair would only be like an inch and a half from root to tip! :rollin:

I also forgot about Irene and her great-grandmother in The Princess and the Goblin. I mean, just look at all that glorious hair! :crush:

I have never seen The Princess and The Goblin! D: I remember really wanting to as a kid, like really wanting to, and one day my babysitter said we could watch it but then she couldn't find the tape and I had to watch something else. And wow, I had NO idea that was still ingrained in my memory until just now. I wonder if it's on Netflix, haha.

Here's one from a more recent movie, The Secret of Kells. I love Aisling, the little wolf-girl:

OH MY WORD! I love that book!! My grandmother read that to me when I was a child and I found it at a used bookstore and just started reading it to my daughter! I got to the description of the great-grandmother and thought, "yeah, I want that hair!"

Also Odette from the Swan Princess.

Lady Mary - I think you'll most likely be able to achieve something very similar :D

I always loved Elyons hair when I read W.I.T.C.H many years ago. Was hard to find a decent picture of all her hair on google, she usually has two big rings tied to the ends of her braids (which I guess are rope braids?).

Avis - WOW! that hair is glorious and amazing! I think I've just figured out my hairstyle for when i'm all grey :O. So it's decided, gonna have Irene length (I think it to be about classic) until I start getting significant graying then, terminal willing, I'll start growing it out again. I've got to watch this film. - to youtube!

Breanna - I remember watching the last unicorn once as a child, must re-watch for her hair :D. and Illusen from neopets has lovely hair too. I like the quirky green highlights she has.

ghost - what lovely hair :D. Another to the must watch for hair list

Quasiquixotic - that's really heartwarming :)

Mitzy - that is such a beautiful poem :) x

Sharysa - Love her hair colour and the little curls at the end of her hair.

teacupterrors - Odette from the Swan Princess has just been added to my cartoon hair inspirations list! Wow!

PeaceTeaRules - Love the hair colours of Rip Van Winkle from Hellsing Ultimate and Sir Integral Fairbrook Wingates Hellsing, and the hair lengths I can see on Google images from Rozen Maiden :) x

Ingrid - The last unicorn does have AMAZING hair :D

The live-action attempt at The Last Airbender was disappointing on so many levels. Not least because they copped out on Katara's hair.

I would add photos but unfortunately i am very confused on that subject and it seems like my brain is ignoring every effort I make to learn.
