Warrior's wolf tail


 * For the similar hairstyle used in the Fire Nation and Earth Kingdom, see Top-knot. For the hairstyle used by female members of the Water Tribe, see Hair Loopies.

A Warrior's Wolf Knot is a hairstyle worn by male Water Tribe warriors. Sokka wore the Warrior's Wolf Knot throughout the first and second books. He pointed out the name of the style and Katara poked fun at Sokka by saying that the style told the other warriors that he is "fun and perky". Sokka later gave up his wolf knot for a top-knot in order to be in disguise during their time in the Fire Nation, but was seen wearing it again after the war ended.

The wolf knot differs from a top-knot in that it is simply the hair pulled back tightly and tied behind the crown of the head, rather than being tightly curled into a knot on top of the scalp. Since both styles are so similar, Sokka was able to alter his hairstyle to blend in with citizens of the Fire Nation, which became very useful in Book Three.

A Warrior's Wolf Tail seems to be the male counterpart of the "hair loopies" used by women in the Southern Water Tribe, such as Katara.

Trivia

 * There are two names of this hairstyle. Avatar Extras calls Sokka's hair style a Warrior's Wolf Knot, but Sokka called it a Warrior's Wolf Tail.
