As part of her character, Ramona Flowers constantly changes her hairstyle. Throughout the series, Ramona has sported a variety of different hairstyles and hair colours. When asked about this 'phase' by Scott and Wallace in Volume 3, she replies "I change my hair like every three weeks."
Scott Pilgrim graphic novels[]
Volume 1[]
Ramona's first hairstyle as seen in Volume 1. In Volume 1, Ramona is first seen with her hair cut short all around, except for two long front pieces on either side of her face. As suggested by a piece of artwork, Ramona's hair is dyed a pale green, but in the colour edition of the first book her hair is magenta.
This is likely because most people knew it as pink following the release of the movie, and the colour edition mostly used the same colours as in the movie because it would be more confusing to fans otherwise.
Volume 2[]
In Volume 2, Ramona arrives at Scott's apartment with her new hairstyle. This time, her hair has grown out just a little, but the longer side pieces have been cut to about chin length, making the length of her hair smoother. Her hair is two colours, pink and a darker colour as shown on the cover of that volume. either the darker colour is lower layers of her hair that have grown out and had the dyed ends cut off, or this is the only hairstyle that involves two dyed colours as opposed to just one.
Volume 3[]
In Volume 3, Ramona still shows off her Volume 2 hairstyle halfway into the story, being that those two volumes are direct continuations of one another. Near the end, however, her hair is cut once more, but it derived from her second haircut with only slightly longer hair parts on the sides. This hairstyle is dyed in only one colour, however it is not specified as to which colour exactly (though signs point to it being brown). The only other clue to her hair colour is when Scott asks Ramona if that's her "natural colour," in which Ramona replies that it could be. Adding to the humour is a caption box stating "NOTE: THIS BOOK IS IN BLACK AND WHITE." In the colour edition, Ramona's hair is navy, accompanied by the caption "NOTE: This was funnier in black & white". There is also one coloured picture of Ramona with a similar hairstyle which is coloured a brownish violet on the official Scott Pilgrim website[1], though in Free Scott Pilgrim (where her hair looks the same as in Book 3) it seems to be coloured blue.
In the above gif, her hair is red at this point. O'Malley stated that they did not use this colour because it conflicted with Envy's hair in that volume.
Volume 4[]
In Volume 4, two months following the events in Volume 3, Ramona has a new wavy hairstyle that ends up becoming the primary hairstyle in the game. Thanks to the volume's special splash page, we all find out that her hair is dyed a bright sand green, much like the colour of Ramona's hair in the final scenes of the film. Also, in one scene with Scott and Ramona eating lunch, she claims that she will let her hair grow longer and eventually dye it again.
At the end of the colour edition of volume 4, during the farewell party for Lisa Miller, her hair is dyed light orange.
Volume 5[]
In Volume 5, Ramona's hair is long (mid-length) for the first time in the series. As stated back in Volume 4, Ramona has simply let her wavy hair grow a bit longer, still retaining the basic style. Her hair is dyed blue, as clearly seen by the cover art of that book.
Before her disappearance towards the end of the book, Ramona cuts her hair again in a manner similar to her first hairstyle (minus the long side pieces). It is unclear whether or not her hair was dyed another colour for that style. O'Malley once coloured it forest green, however.
Volume 6[]
In Volume 6, the story continues with Scott without Ramona, being that she "disappeared" during a head glow near the end of the fifth book. However, after Scott is killed by Gideon, Ramona returns to see Scott in Subspace. At this point her hair is basically the same, wavy, mid-length style she had in Book 5, but now with the addition of a star-shaped hairclip and slightly shorter.
According to the cover art of Volume 6, her hair is dyed sand green once again only it's darker and less saturated than her Volume 4 hair. Ramona continues with this look for the rest of the book. In Volume 6 it is also revealed that when Ramona was first dating Gideon, she sported a long, pale pink 'do, before cutting dramatically upon leaving him.
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World[]
Ramona's hair in the movie is the same as its appearance in Volume 6. Her hair starts out dyed pink, but during the course of the movie, she dyes it to blue, and then green for the remainder of the film.
When Scott asks Ramona about her hair (after she dyes it blue), she states that she "changes (her) hair like every week and a half" (as opposed to three weeks in the comic series), and that Scott should get used to it.
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game[]
Ramona's hair in the game is similar to her hairstyle in Volume 4, and is coloured a sandy green or turquoise. Unlike most characters, her hair colour changes when a different costume is selected. Her different costumes change her hair to pink, blue, or brown.
Scott Pilgrim Takes Off[]
Ramona's hair in the show is the same as her hair in the first book, with the front pieces just a little shorter. She sports this look up until the final episode, where it looks more akin to her Volume 6 hairstyle, but she changes it at the end of the episode. Ramona's first style is bright pink with purple on the ends. Her next style is the same just reversed; the top is dark purple and the ends are bright pink. Ramona's third style was orange with blonde ends. The fourth hairstyle was green (dark on top and light below). Ramona's fifth style was dark teal with bluish-purple ends. The sixth and final style is blonde on top and turquoise on the ends. Future Ramona's hair is, for the first time, shoulder length, with a dark blue top half and a bright pink lower half. Further into the future, old age has caught up to her, as Ramona's hair is grey, but dyed pink at the back.
Trivia[]
- Scott Pilgrim Takes Off reveals the process Ramona does in changing her hairstyle
- First, Ramona uses soap to rinse out her current dye.
- Second, she pours the colours for the next dye into a small wooden bowl, which she then applies using a brush.
- She runs her head under the tap to help it set in.
- Finally, she dries her head with a towel.
- Bryan Lee O'Malley stated that had Ramona and Scott broken up after Volume 6, Ramona would change her hair into a messy chin-length bob with bangs that was dyed black. He stated that this cut was left unused to avoid her being confused with Kim Pine.
