Despite being a rich family, the Rapunzels prefer to keep themselves a little casual like the average everyday person, and their main goals in life is to take on their own talents and make a few friends to help them out in accomplishing goals like a team without letting their ridiculously long locks getting in the way of things.

The O'Hairs
The O'Hairs segment was introduced in the middle of the fourth season of The Rapunzels. Like Rapunzels, this segment was also created by Hughes. It ran from October 14, 2023, to March 8, 2025. The O'Hairs first appeared on the double length episode "Daisy's Secret", and began airing as a weekly segment on The Rapunzels.

Like Rapunzels, the segment was produced by Del Mar Cartoons Ltd. with animation by Film Roman. The segment chronicled the misadventures of a family of Rapunzel-haired ladies who are like the Rapunzel family, but much less wealthy than they are and lives a suburban household in a nearby neighborhood in the fictional town of Hugley, Texas. The family consists of Daisy Sr. (voiced by Marsha Crenshaw), her wife Catherine James (voiced by Tara Strong), along with daughters Stella O'Hair (voiced by Kira Buckland), Savannah O'Hair (voiced by Kitana Turnbull), and Daisy Jr. (voiced by Dana Gaier).

Harriet
The Harriet segment came in the fifth and final season of The Rapunzels in 2024. It followed an 8-year-old girl named Harriet K. Reynolds (voiced by Tabyana Ali), who has very-long red Rapunzel hair at 45-inches-long. She was the kind of girl who always has a very bad hair day and wishes to get her hair trimmed. All was unlucky for Harriet until one day, she accidentally created a potion that exploded at the science lab, thus bringing her hair to life. Now Harriet's life will never remain the same as she uses her newfound hair powers to help out in various predicaments necessary, astonishing everyone around her. At first, Harriet was freaked out that her hair developed a mind of its own, but grown accustomed to it. With her new hair powers developed from a science experiment accident, Harriet will get twice the amount of help she needs just from the hairs on her head.

Harriet first premiered on October 19, 2024, and ended in May 2025 with 12 segments. Like Rapunzels and O'Hairs, the segment was also created by J. Hughes along with being produced by Del Mar Cartoons Ltd., but unlike the aforementioned segments, the animation for Harriet was supplied by Titmouse Inc.

The Hair Flairs
On November 3, 2021, it was reported that a Hair Flairs movie titled The Hair Flairs' Beginnings was in production. Additionally, it would serve as a prequel to The Rapunzels episode "The Hair Flairs". The movie premiered on Del Mar Network on June 11, 2022.
