[fandom] werewolves and hairstyles

[escritoireazul]

I could be writing sex, but instead I am spending way too long thinking about this: if you are a black female werewolf who wears her hair in two strand twists, what happens to it when you shift? Do all the twists go away so that when you shift back, you would have to go through the work of retwisting it? Every single time? Which has led to me questioning any potential hairstyle for any werewolf character. If you dye your hair, does your fur look dyed in spots? Does the dye disappear during the shift? If you have a perm or straightened hair, does it go away? Does it change your fur?

I'm supposed to be writing sex! Not spend an hour thinking about hairstyles for werewolves.

I think you can go anywhere from the Belgariad wolf transformations (the extra mass, plus clothes and other things you carry go into "another place" and you're just the same when you change back) to Being Human (naked and cranky). As long as it's internally consistent, I could go with any version.
