Hairfall
The Hair Let Down from the Tower
Come on up. ...Though you won't be climbing back down.
By Katsuki Mitsumori
Profile
A maiden locked in a tower who let people up by her hair. But the hair took on a will of its own and began to reel in anyone who climbed it, gently but never letting go. Now the hair fills the whole tower, growing ever longer as it drinks in other people's dependence and heavy feelings. Cut it as you might, it grows right back, so she can never set foot in a salon again. Now and then a strand of it gets mixed in among the straps on Gyuuzume's packed train.
Relationships with other curses
She feels a kinship with Nosegrow over growing without end, his the nose, hers the hair. Bocchizero pays regular visits to ease the loneliness of her tower.
How to deal with this curse
Hairfall embodies the everyday frustration of "fairy tales." Bottled-up feelings only grow heavier. The moment you feel it, give it a name and write it out — that is the quickest way to make it lighter. Noroi Nikki is a completely private place to do exactly that.
