paladins whose partner isn't a paladin so they are basically the one for odd jobs around the castle and usually Coran's assistant and one day Coran was experimenting and it accidentally get's on
Y/N's hair causing it to grow and grow and GROW. Like, Rapunzel style

Do you know what happens when lithium reacts with water? It fizzes and catches fire. Nothing too dangerous. Move down the row to sodium and it reacts more violently, like a small stick of dynamite. Keep moving down past Rubidium, and things get downright explosive.
Any chemist past their first year knows this and frankly, so should a certain 600+ year old Altean.
You had complete trust in Coran, so when he asked you to hand him #55, you thought nothing of it. The Altean names for the elements didn't exactly translate well, so it wasn't until it was too late that you realized exactly what you handed him. Cesium.
You could only watch in silent horror as you whipped around and watched Coran drop a single, small, silver drop of certain death into a beaker filled with viscous purple liquid, praying to whatever gods were listening that you both would live.
When nothing immediately happened you brought your hand to your chest, breathing a sigh of relief as Coran waked harmlessly past you. Then the beaker exploded in a flash of bright light as a shockwave strong enough to knock the both of you off your feet sent you straight into the nearest wall.
You came to a few moments later, a little groggy but nothing worse for wear. You quickly glanced down at your body and moved your limbs around. Satisfied nothing was damaged you glanced at Coran and saw he was still out, but nothing seemed damaged. You ran a hand through your hair, frowned a little at its damp feeling but decided to count your blessings; you were both lucky not to have been skewered with glass or worse.
"Coran? Coran, you ok?" You tapped on his shoulder and smiled as he came to with a start. "Welcome to the world of the living, old man."
"Y/N? What happened?", he looked around and spotted the shattered beaker and splotches of purple around the lab. He grabbed your shoulders, anxiously checking you over for damage, "Are you OK #5? I'm so sorry I put you in danger. Is anything hurt - oh, looks like some tonic got in your hair. Do you feel funny?"
"Uhm...", that was concerning, "Should I feel funny?"
"Uh, no? Listen, why don't I clean up here and you go...shower that stuff off and, uhm...take a nap? I'll send your 'boo' to you for dinner!"
You gagged at Coran's use of Earth slang and pulled away from him, "Please, don't do that. I'll see you for dinner." You mumbled a goodbye and Coran waved you off with a smile. If you had to listen to him use the word 'boo' again, it would be too soon. You made a mental note to ask Lance to stop teaching him that stuff.
Stifling a yawn, you started your shower and examined the ends of your hair. Was it always that long? Huh, you could have sworn it was an inch shorter. Also, was your scalp really tingly or did the explosion take more out of you than you thought? You shrugged, there was time to deal with that later, that nap Coran suggested sounded absolutely fantastic and you were eager to crawl into bed.
The tingling on your scalp was still there after your dried off but honestly, you were too tired to deal with it. As your head hit the pillow you vaguely wondered if you had a concussion and that was your last thought before lights out.

Shiro:
immediately notices your hair when he walks in and has a slight moment of panic because what does he do???
he tries to reach out and touch your hair but he's unsure of what to do so he ends up hovering his hands over your head and making small noises of confusion that eventually end up waking you
He's caught.
"Uuuuuhm...Hi! I was...just about to wake you!", his eyes dart away from you and he brings his hands to his mouth while looking extremely concerned. "Does your-how do you-hmmmm!" His voice goes incredibly high pitched at that last part and you just raise your eyebrows as he clears his throat and tries again, "Ahem, ok, uhm, does your...head?...feel heavier than normal?" You nod and he continues, "Ok, so uhm, don't freak out but ah, your hair is long, like, 10 feet long." He smiles and there's a pause before you attempt to run to the bathroom.
I say attempt because you tripped on your hair and Shiro catches you before you hit the floor, but just barely
he laughs at you and carries you to the bathroom so you can see the massive amount of hair you now magically have.
he collects the rest from your bedroom as you continue looking at your reflection in disbelief
he starts rubbing your neck as you lean your forehead against the mirror and groan
offers to cut it to a reasonable length since having hair over 10 feet long is just inconvenient
you let him cut however he wants, just please get rid of it (it's heavyyyyy)
he likes long hair so he ends up cutting it to your mid-back
offers to try and layer it but you shoo him off. You need to yell at Coran. And eat. Turns out growing hair is hungry business.
Low-key thinks this is hilarious but turns into a mama hen when you tell him it's a result of an explosion
he has words with Coran later. it's, uh...it's not good.
