The episode starts off with a scrapbook from Poppy explaining the "Hair Ball", which despite its name is the Trolls' fanciest event of the year, where they all dress up in their fanciest outfits and hairstyles. Poppy is at Maddy's salon getting her hair done along with most of the rest of the village. Smidge comes in with excellent news; she is the date of Milton Moss, her crush, except Poppy points out that Smidge is Guy Diamond's date already. Guy appears to tell her how excited he is about tonight. Poppy says to talk to Guy as he will understand, at that moment Guy appears.
Guy gives Smidge a necklace for the night to wear. He is excited to go to the dance with the strongest dancer in the village due to all the moves they can pull off together, and all eyes will be on them. Guy's words make Smidge unable to talk to him about his date with her. Smidge quickly comes up with the plan to keep the two dates apart and switch between the two.
Poppy, Biggie, Satin and Chenille arrive that evening to the ball and go into the party. Poppy tells her friends to go out onto the dance floor, but also gets distracted by a half-full punch ball. The others say to her that at every Hair Ball she spends the entire time trying to make others happy that she forgets to dance. Branch, who is not even dressed up, speaks up and says Poppy has the right idea, getting the others shocked by his wallflowering. Poppy states that she will make sure Branch dances, but then gets distracted by decorations.
As soon as Poppy goes off, a Limo critter brings Smidge and Guy Diamond to the ball. Guy checks with Smidge that everyone's eyes are on them and they go into the ball. In the ball, Smidge spots Milton Moss and ditches Guy at the refreshments table by telling him to retell a story of his to the Trolls there. She goes to Milton dressed up in a different dress with a different hairstyle. The two hang out for a while lost in each other's company, even getting their photo taken. Smidge comes up with an excuse not to go to the refreshments table because that's where she left Guy and claims she is afraid of brownies.
Smidge returns to Guy in her original dress, but hears Milton calling her and tells Guy he has something in his teeth so she can ditch him and go back to Milton as Guy creates a ball of hair around him to deal with it. At Milton, he points over Smidge's shoulder to a brownie and Smidge has to play along with her earlier claim about being scared of them. She is shocked that her plan to keep her dates separate is working.
Smidge runs by Poppy, who's still sorting out the decoration and Branch who is still wallflowering; this time he now has shades on, trying to annoy Poppy. Branch points out that Poppy isn't dancing as an excuse to not dance, and Poppy states that she is busy. Meanwhile, smidge is constantly running back and forth between her dates while Poppy talks. She tells Poppy that her plan is going great.
At that moment, DJ announces for a dance competition and the Trolls all take to the floor while Smidge is now on the dance floor with both Guy and Milton unaware of her deception. She continues the back and forth until she starts messing up, appearing in the wrong dress, etc. Then as the dance ends, the spotlight shines on her and she has her hands holding both Milton and Guy. Guy runs off in tears that Smidge deceived him and Milton does the same, embarrassed by what Smidge has done.
Smidge goes to Guy and apologizes. Guy begins to wallow about it, but whispers to her that it is all an act. Guy is playing off of her breaking his heart for attention and tells her to go to Milton. She asks Milton for forgiveness and the two reconcile. One last dance number begins, and the pair take to the dance floor with Guy acting as a disco ball.
Poppy gives up and tells Branch she is taking him on the dance floor right now. Branch quickly goes behind the tree he has leaned all night on and comes back in a tuxedo. He reveals that he knew the only way to get her onto the dance floor was for him to refuse. They dance together.

*A "hairball" or "furball" is a clump of hair or fur that gathers in the stomach of creatures with fur after consumption. Members of the cat family and their relatives are the most known creatures to suffer this due to their grooming. Humans can be sufferers of trichophagia, a condition that can result in massive hairballs in the stomach. Since it's common to regurgitate hairball, they're considered "gross". The name is a pun referring to the Trolls' magical hair.
**This is why Poppy explains that the name isn't great, as their highest classy event is linked to a term seen as gross.
*The only member of The Snack Pack membership missing in this episode is Cooper. This is one of the few episodes in which most of the group appears individually.
*The style of the party is similar to a Prom Party. Prom night dances are common in American popular culture have often been a focus of relationship stories, with various characters going on dates, often with a big event occurring at said prom night during the date.
*A storyboard for the Hair Ball sequence was put up online.http://yaronfarkashart.blogspot.com/p/trolls-2_26.html?m=1
