For real Marvel fans, the change isn't a surprise at all – it's actually a long time coming. According to the Marvel comic canon, Danvers' hair was never supposed to be long and loose at all: It's shaved on the sides with longer layers on top — just long enough to be pulled into her famous Mohawk when she's wearing her helmet. And while the Mohawk made a brief appearance in Captain Marvel, this film helps it shine in all it's glory — and it was well worth the wait.
