While we have all envied Disney princess hair growing up, this art series embraces realism and makes unattainable volume and shine a little more realistic. In the series, Mulan dons a frizzy do that replaces her perfectly sleek hairstyle while Ariel sports wet locks that are much different than her depicted tresses. In The Little Mermaid, Ariel's hair remains perfect despite of being ruined by water. This hilarious and charming image series was created by Buzzfeed's Loryn Brantz who wanted to give real girls more hope when it comes to their hair. While Disney princesses have always symbolized beauty, their attributes are not always the most realistic. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.8/10 - Popularity: 100% | Activity: 97% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Attainable Hairstyles:** Creating realistic Disney princess hairstyles offers opportunities for beauty brands to develop and market attainable hair products. - **Realism in Art:** Embracing realism in artistic portrayals of iconic characters like Disney princesses can inspire artists to explore new creative approaches and challenge traditional beauty standards. - **Empowering Girls:** Promoting realistic depictions of princesses' hair can empower young girls to embrace their own unique hair types and styles. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Beauty and Personal Care:** Beauty brands can capitalize on the trend of realistic Disney princess hairstyles by creating haircare products that help achieve the desired looks. - **Art and Design:** Artists and designers can find opportunities to create realistic and relatable interpretations of iconic characters, such as Disney princesses with attainable hairstyles. - **Children's Entertainment:** Companies in the children's entertainment industry can incorporate more diverse and realistic representations of beauty standards in their content, including princess hairstyles. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Live-Action Mermaid Film Haircare](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-little-mermaid-1.md) - [Dairytale Bridal Tributes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-wedding-dresses-1.md) - [Fairytale-Inspired Fragrances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-enchanting-collection.md) - [Princess-Themed Lip Glosses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultra-glossy-lip.md) - [Film-Resembling Mermaid Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/little-mermaid-doll.md) - [Sparkling Detailed Princess Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/american-girl-doll-1.md) - [Diverse African Doll Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creativesoul.md) - [Enchanting Classic-Animation-Inspired Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/girls-crew.md) - [Whimsical Character-Inspired Statement Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aldo-x-disney.md)
