Hair loopies


 * For the hairstyle used by male members of the Water Tribe, see Warrior’s Wolf Tail.

Hair loopies are type of hairstyle in the Water Tribes. This may not be the actual name of the hairstyle, but Sokka first said its name in "Avatar Day", when he asked Katara how she would feel if she lost something meaningful to her, her own hair loopies. There are, in fact, times where Katara is seen without her trademark hairstyle. The first time this happens is in "The Waterbending Master" when Katara fights Pakku for her right to learn Waterbending, and her hair falls out of place. Later, during "The Crossroads of Destiny", Katara and Aang battle with Azula and Zuko, and Katara's hair once again comes out of place in the struggle. Only in "The Awakening" did Katara have her hair loopies up again. She retires them when she goes into disguise from the Fire Nation along with everyone else. She instead has her hair down, and sometimes, as seen in "The Southern Raiders", in a ponytail.
