I watched Captain America: The First Avenger and Captain America: The Winter Soldier back to back tonight, as part of my Marvel movie binge. Two main thoughts sticking:

Bucky needs a hug. The Winter Soldier problem would have been mostly solved with more Steve/Bucky hugs.

The Black Widow's hair goes wavy when wet. After showering at The Falcon's house, how did she get hold of a hair straightener? He has a military haircut and appears to live alone; I don't think he had one to lend her.

I love the idea that she improvised something out of, idk, butter knives and first aid gauze. Or she carries some sort of tiny superspy super straightener serum that Tony made her in the lab. That latter actually seems likely; Tony has probably taken being in an LTR with Pepper as a delightful introduction to new problems that need solving. I imagine either a capsule of tiny hair-straightening robots, or a two-part serum that produces its own hair-safe heat when the catalyst is introduced via a small clip.

Hahaha omg, superspy straightening serum or tiny hairbots, well done Stark Industries!

I figure as part of her training, Natasha knows all sorts of 'home remedies' for disguise purposes.

Including these:

I think she went with Vinegar as the one mentioned that didn't require a lot of time, or ingredients Sam probably wouldn't have. Even a guy who lives alone might have a bottle of vinegar (bought to make salad dressing to impress a date, and then forgot about, most likely).

Oh yeah, she definitely has ALL THE SKILLS and why wouldn't that include disguise stuff?

I think my trouble is that I like her bouncy wavy hair in the Avengers movie much better and that's something it appears to do more or less naturally, so I don't see why she's going to the bother of doing a lot of time-consuming stuff to her hair while she's on the run in fear of her life when it doesn't even look nice.

*nods* The vinegar is quick, which is why I thought it possible.

After washing your hair, add a few drops of vinegar in water-filled mug and rinse your strands with this water. Finally rinse with clean water. This will make your strands straight, adding an extra sleeky shine.

I liked her hairstyle best in Iron Man, when she was playing 'someone from legal'. :^)
