Goldilocks was named for her hair, which was golden. Yang has a thick mess of golden hair.

Rapunzel was never mentioned as caring for her hair, just that she had incredibly long hair. I have no idea if the original story ever said what color her hair is.

Also, the characters aren't meant to be just like who they allude to. Granted, Weiss' family runs a mining company and the dwarves from Snow White were miners. Also granted, Miles said they tried to surround Blake with Belle things when she was first introduced, to drive home the whole "Hey, look, she alludes to Belle!" thing.

Apparently, Yang's power comes from her hair. That's why she gets so pissy when people damage it, and that's why it glows when she's using her Semblance or when she gets angry. Here's a link to Lindsay explaining her basic knowledge of Yang's hair power thing. Lindsay mentioned it playing off the tale of Samson and Delilah.
