The Royal Locks are a hereditary trait of the Royal House of Idris on Nalthis. [1]

Members of the Royal House can using their will power like a muscle change their hair colour or cause their hair to grow spontaneously. Normally the hair reflects their emotional state and changes like these happen naturally and without training. Using the ability, especially to grow the hair takes effort and leads to hunger and exhaustion.[1]

Only members of the Royal House that are potential heirs to the throne have and can pass on the Royal Locks. [3]
