A close cousin to the Standard Female Grab Area where if whoever it is can't grab ahold of the woman's wrist or upper arm, they'll just grab onto her hair instead. Obviously a lot more realistic than a wrist being the weak point as anyone who has had their hair pulled can vouch for how painful it is. While this typically happens to women with long hair, it can happen with short hair as well. The hair just needs to be long enough to pull. Although it is mostly a female trope, it can happen to men with long hair as well though examples are rare. Examples of By the Hair include:

Although it is mostly a female trope, it can happen to men with long hair as well though examples are rare. It can be played both for comedy and seriously, depending on the nature of the scuffle. It will normally happen in a Cat Fight and in that case it will be played up as arousing for male onlookers. If it's happening to a mean girl then it might cause a Hairstyle Malfunction if she's wearing extensions. If the girl happens to be badass then expect her to overcome this problem, sometimes by cutting the hair off at the point where it's being held. See also Life or Limb Decision and Giving Them the Strip. For the record, while hair pulling is painful, the commonality of the "dragging her around by the hair" bit in film and television is because it's fairly easy to stage and relatively painless. Notice that when the man grabs her by the hair, she immediately grabs onto his wrists. Usually at this point, the puller lets go of the hair, and instead drags the woman around by the arms instead. All the kicking and screaming? She's usually digging her heels into the ground for leverage and trying to help him by making herself lurch ahead. Examples of By the Hair include:
