| Close-Call Haircut | comment |
In either a gunfight or a sword battle, sometimes the bullet or blade gets just a bit too close for comfort, and you often see a Close-Call Haircut with a few cut strands of hair blowing around to indicate just how close the character came to getting hit. The character may even quickly run a hand through their hair and watch loose strands float away in the wind as confirmation. May also mark the point in the battle when the gloves come off, especially if one or both of the fighters are female and it suddenly becomes personal as soon as the female character's beauty is involved. A common variation involves a bullet passing through a female character's hair, creating a gaping hole that's sometimes magically repaired by the next scene (see Hair Reboot). May overlap with Important Haircut or Traumatic Haircut in some cases. See also Slipknot Ponytail and Hat Damage. Compare Losing a Shoe in the Struggle (the same effect is achieved with a minor article of clothing instead) or Paper Cutting (flesh rather than hair). The trope was popularized during the Renaissance, when sword-wielding folk moved away from large and cumbersome cutting tools to lighter weapons that allowed additional finesse. Trimming an opponent's mustache or removing buttons in a declared order was a way to demonstrate one's superior fighting skills whilst simultaneously humiliating your opponent, culminating in the famous 'slice your initial in your opponent's clothes without actually breaking his skin' maneuver made famous by Alex Thoth's Zorro. Sub-Trope of Near Misses, peak tension is achieved by a character almost getting hit by a projectile. |

The MythBusters have had a few cases that definitely prove their point about not attempting anything they do at home. Adam once got a bit too close to an exploding ball of fire. "Am I missing an eyebrow?" Not to mention an incident that begins with Grant adjusting a spring-loaded guillotine and ends with said guillotine zooming past him close enough to tear his shirt. |

Captain Planet and the Planeteers: In "The Predator", Bleak gags Gi and Ma-Ti and ties them to the back of his hydrofoil after dumping chum into the water, hoping to get them both Eaten Alive by the remaining sharks in the area. Wheeler's efforts to burn off Gi's gag so she can use her ring naturally involve fire getting very close to her face and (according to Linka) burning some of her hair. Linka calls him out on it, to which Wheeler, still concentrating on his aim, retorts that she should try burning through something on a moving target. | |

After popping out of a folded ironing board Roger is pinned to the wall in a Knife Outline by an array of flying cutlery. A pairing knife splits his hair in two just above his head right before a large meat cleaver hits the wall in between his legs making Roger gulp loudly. | |

Avatar: The Last Airbender: Katara does this to Azula with a blade of water in the season two finale, managing to annoy the already borderline-crazy Azula even more. Earlier, in a fight between Jet and Zuko, a blow gets so close that it cuts the blade of grass from Jet's mouth. And even earlier than that, the leaders of two feuding tribes that the gAang run into have a duel in which they do this to each other. The man loses the tip of his beard, the woman one of her buns. In Sequel Series The Legend of Korra, Tarrlok does this to Korra with a vicious waterbending attack. |

Twice in The Adventures of Baron Munchausen The protagonist receives one in a flashback at the start of the film but with an executioner's axe (one of his servants arrives just in the nick of time). "Thanks! I needed a trim!" In the climax, the executioner is about to strike him again, but this time, the Baron's far-shooting servant shoots the axe out of the executioner's hands, and it spirals through the air slicing through the Sultan's headdress widthwise and giving him the trim; the Sultan has to keep wearing the ruined hat for the whole rest of the fight scene. |

A variant of this happens early in Get Shorty, when Ray Bones tries to sneak into Chili Palmer's office to shoot him. Chili, having been alerted to this, just waits with his gun aimed at head height. When Bones breaks in, Chili shoots him — and leaves a groove on the top of his head from the passage of the bullet, to which Bones freaks out and goes running out of the building, screaming. | |

The short video To The Death involves a student from a sword fighting school that uses Laser Swords fighting a series of duels against his teacher, as he cannot properly graduate from the school until he manages to defeat the teacher. In the last of these duels the student finally wins by dodging a slash at the last instant, with the blade coming close enough to singe off some of his long hair, and then landing a winning counterattack.

At the end of the "Parlay" scene in Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End Hector Barbossa whips out his sword and slices off the dreadlock bearing Jack Sparrow's Piece of Eight in a single motion. It's unclear whether he would have cared much if he'd taken a piece of Jack's skull with it. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: In "Secret of my Excess" this happens twice — first time when Spike accidentally burns the doctor's hair off with his breath, and another time when the Wonderbolts slash the crest on his head off. Spike gives another one to Twilight in "It's About Time", resulting in the haircut Future Twilight had. Sweetie Belle's mane gets a trim from Opalescence's claws in "Stare Master". It only lasts until the next scene, though. |

Subverted in I'm In Love With the Villainess. Prince Thane dodges out of the way of an assassin's strike, and the blade slices part of his hair off... but it also nicks his arm, and a few moments later it turns out to have been poisoned. If Rae hadn't been on hand to neutralize the poison, it wouldn't have been a close call at all. | |

Granted, this trap was set on a reasonable assumption that only one human could be there, but it still looks like those who suspected she's favoured by Lady Luck even more than other halflings got it right... | |
