Let Down Your Hair

More than five years ago, I wrote a short analysis about Anna and Elsa’s different hairstyles and how their respective personalities are symbolically represented by the ways in which they wear their hair. Since we now have Frozen II, I couldn’t resist noticing how there is more to discuss about the meaning of Elsa’s hairstyles when she changes it twice during the third act.

As a child, Elsa wears her hair in a braid, which symbolizes her carefree, happy, and playful demeanor. After harming and being separated from Anna, she is taught by her father to conceal her powers. Despite expressing primarily fear and anxiety after the accident with Anna, Elsa continues to wear a braid until she is twelve, which is when she refuses to touch anyone or be touched anymore. By the time she is eighteen, Elsa regularly wears her hair in a bun, which, like her clothes, represents her continued confinement and suppression of her powers, the discomforts and restrictions she has in doing so (as a person and would-be-queen), and her isolation from the outside world. Elsa maintains this hairstyle, and wardrobe, up until the day she is crowned queen at 21 years old.

However, after Elsa runs away from Arendelle and sings “Let It Go,” she pulls her hair down back into a braid. This hairstyle reflects that she is finally free and no longer has to hide her magic. She doesn’t care what people will say or think about her now (so she says). She has little to no restrictions at last. She is finally free to be her true self. She is more comfortable with her own identity. She accepts herself for who she really is, which especially includes embracing her powers once more.

At the same time, though, Elsa still is haunted by the painful memories of her past. She still sees herself as a freak of nature just for being born with magic. She wants people to love and accept her, even with her gift, but pessimistically (and to some degree, realistically) believes that that will never happen. So as she sings her song, Elsa has not entirely let go (so to speak 😉) of the past and still struggles with fully accepting herself and her gift. Her wearing the braid for the rest of the film shows that she has only BEGUN to become comfortable with herself, but not 100%.

By the events of Frozen II, Elsa has been the queen of Arendelle for three years and is loved by her people, so she no longer worries about what others think of her magic. In staying true to herself, Elsa has continued to wear her hair as a braid and wears it that way for the majority of the film. But like the first film, she still feels dissatisfied with herself. She still wonders why she was born with magic, a feeling that clearly never faded since childhood, and also wonders if ruling Arendelle is her true purpose in life.

When she goes off on her own to cross the Dark Sea and find Ahtohallan in order to find the answers about the past between Arendelle and the Northuldra of the Enchanted Forest, Elsa pulls her hair into a ponytail. Although it could be viewed that Elsa ties her hair back so it won’t get in her way when she tries to swim, what it really means is that she’s letting go of herself a bit more. She is determined and more confident in herself. She confidently decides what she needs to do, and she won’t let anything stop her.

And by the time she reaches Ahtohallan and sings “Show Yourself”, Elsa lets her hair down completely, not only as a reflection of her having ultimate freedom and self-acceptance, but also gaining self-discovery and self-realization. She learns that she was granted powers as a gift by the magic of nature because of her Northuldran mother’s heroic deed of saving her Arendellian father in the battle between their respective people when they were children. She learns that she is the fifth spirit, the connection between the elements, the bridge between nature and people.

After so many years of struggling with fear, anxiety, uncertainty, and self-loathing, Elsa now knows exactly WHO and WHAT she is. She now knows her true calling in the world, the purpose of her existence, her destiny. She has become completely comfortable and confident in her new, true identity. She now has no restrictions, no expectations, and she no longer cares what anyone thinks of her.

Elsa is finally at peace with herself and is overjoyed at it all, and this is why she cries as she sings in unison with the memory of her mother.

Kudos to my girl for finally gaining her confidence and finding all of the answers! I love you, Elsa! 😄❤️😄❤️😄❤️
