Ami-chan's Wig: Now With More Hair?

Okay, so I was making myself some personal screencaps for Act 29 when I noticed something different about Ami-chan/Sailor Mercury.
spoiler space said:
Remember, this was the first episode since Ami-chan became good again after the whole 'Darkury' angle/saga.
Did she lose weight? Maybe she changed her contact lenses? Nope. (Well, any one of those statements could probably be true, but I digress...)

Her henshin hair grew. See the attached pictures ("exhibits") for a comparison.
Hopefully, I'm not the first person to notice this, but I am the first person to make a big deal out of it enough to start a conversation about it. (I used the '
search' function just to make sure it wasn't already discussed.)

Now that it has been established that we've seen Mercury with bordering collar length hair, I pose this question to anybody willing to answer: Why is Mercury's hair longer? Is it a working attempt to make her compete with the other senshi for longest hair length? Is she not T3H SEX enough with the short hair, so the producers/higher-ups/etc. decided for her to grow it? Is it so her wig hair length can match that of her normal form*? Or is it all just an optical illusion? Please, please, help out a fledgling n00b13.

*Chisaki Hama never got her hair cut for the role, so I find this possible reason to be the most plausible...

I think it might be intentional. I personally like her more recent one better. When viewing them side by side, the shorter one just doesn't seem to have as much style.

It seems like they grew Ami-chan's hair in the anime, too. I know at least in her SuperS plot & power-up episode, her hair seemed a lot longer than usual.

p.s. If her "hair" ends up "growing" longer than it is now, I don't think I would like it.

It looks good, I think their trying to cover her real hair better, but they should spend less time covering up Chisaki's real hair, and should cover up someone elses *coughAYAKAcough* excuse me ^^

I like all of her 'new' wigs compared to the very first ones used in the first acts. She looks so much better.

I find Mercury's hair has a lot fo bad hair days... Like it gets flat or mishapen.

I prefer it short and wavy. The longer hair looks a little funny to me.

Her hair has been like that eversince the episode she return back to normal. I don't think the length has gotten any longer, it just that the ends are not as curly as before. If you straighten your curly hair it would be longer.

Her hair looks crappy in both pictures. They keep trying out different styles but they can't find the right one.

In contrast with this, Mars' wig now looks better than her regular hair as Rei (get a haircut, Keiko!)
