**Magic Blonde Hair** (now referred to as **"the Sundrop"** since its previous physical manifestation is no more) is the unnatural style of Princess Rapunzel that plays an extremely important and crucial part in the plot of Disney's *Tangled* and the series, *Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure*.

It was known to have the ability to heal the sick and wounded as well as return someone to life after sustaining potentially fatal, lethal wounds.

However, this ability was later revealed to have been neutralized by a fraction of the Moonstone's power it had absorbed when Princess Rapunzel had touched the rock spikes.

Once fully empowered by its secondary spell, it enabled its earthly host to levitate into the air, her eyes to glow yellow, and unleash a very strong burst of pure solar energy which was able to effectively push back and disintegrate some of the black moon rocks that a furious Casandra kept sending her way.

## Background

In the TV series, Rapunzel's magic hair grows back to the length and color it was in the film. It grows back when Rapunzel and her handmaid, Cassandra, discover some mystical rocks with magical properties during a secret adventure. In the series, her new hair is revealed to be indestructible and cannot be cut. It's later revealed that Rapunzel's hair no longer possesses its original powers to heal, but is revealed to have acquired a new power, protecting Rapunzel by creating a magical shield. It also appears to respond to her subconscious when she's dreaming, because it was levitating all over her bedroom before she woke up. Rapunzel's hair glows when she approaches the rocks, though it is not yet revealed if there is any magic with it.

In *The Quest for Varian*, Rapunzel tried to stop the troops chasing her and pulled down her hair from the tower to touch the rocks. The hair and the rocks triggered a shock wave to stun the troops successfully, but it caused the rapid growth of the rocks towards Rapunzel and consequently destroyed Princess Rapunzel's childhood home.

## Trivia

* On Princess Rapunzel dolls, her hair is long and blonde again, not short and brown like her birth mother's. Some dolls have her hair braided with flowers, and other just long and blonde. There is only one doll that has been seen with her natural short brown hair. In pictures, the hair is again quite long and blonde.
* In the original story, neither Rapunzel and her unnaturally long blonde hair did possess any healing properties, but they were held in her tears and were used to restore the Prince's eyesight. Disney expanded this myth to give Rapunzel, whom they had re-imagined as from commoner to princess, her healing hair.
* In the original trailer of *Tangled*, it would have been able to move on its own and act like another appendage as it attacked Eugene when he came up to the tower.

* "Cassandra- my hair!!"
* "How am I supposed to cut this hair!!?"
* "Half the kingdom would know about your hair by now"
* "Are you sure you can't see it?"
* "You snuck out last night, went beyond the walls of Corona; where you touched a mysterious rock that somehow caused your hair to return?"

* "I been thinking about your hair."
* "If I'm right, this should tell us all there is to know about your hair."

* "The Rocks, my hair, Varian- It's like they're all connected."
* "Your hair touches these things and we're goners!"
* *(Quietly*) "Letting down my hair."
