Hmm.
Ponytail? No, Samus.
Wavy hair? No, Peach. Or Cynthia from Pokemon.
Hime cut, maybe? Or sausage curls? Braids are good, either one braid or multiple. Or a crown braid, a la the Khaleesi herself. Just some options. I’m not even a hair guy. I’m just married to a woman with long hair.

You still have options. Have you described how curly her hair is? Zelda's hair is very straight. You can give her corkscrew drills or really tight fluffy curls. Although that may no longer be believable at this point, since they are pretty direct parts of appearance. Does she wear a braid or not? Zelda normally does not. Maybe its time for her to have a style change. How long is here hair? You might tie her hair near the end with a really big ribbon. You can also slightly adjust her hair color. Blond is still blonde, but Zelda's hair is yellow ranging into gold. Maybe more of a butter yellow or slightly peachy yellow would work? Are your elves the woodsy type? You can make her hair slightly green if that is the case.

Dunsany didn't make the mistake of describing hair colours in The King of Elfland's Daughter. If only Tolkien had thought of Zelda before writing about his elf princess ?

You’re right. I’m overreacting. The basic description in the story is long blonde hair cascading down to her back and blue eyes. That’s it. I can just look at different hair styles.
