When a character cuts off their hair, it often symbolizes a rite of passage or bout of character growth. A princess striking out on an adventure, or a new recruit at boot camp, for instance. Parting with it voluntarily can be greatly symbolic. This is particularly a big deal when women get haircuts because their long hair takes a lot of time to grow and Long Hair Is Feminine, doubly so if the new haircut is completely shaven or bald. Yet in fiction, even an accidental hair slicing can leave a character with a surprisingly even cut. In many religions (Western Christianity, Ancient Egyptian religion, and others) priests and/or monks cut/shave their hair. Roman Catholic nuns also tend to cut and maintain their hair short under their veils when they enter the nunneries. The cutting of one's own hair is also a part of Buddhism, specifically something done by Siddhartha himself early on in his path to enlightenment, so anime examples might draw from this as an allusion. There are also some cultures, including Native American and many Asian ones, where a person would cut their hair as an act of grief, disgrace, or even rebellion. In the Confucian tradition, hair (like the rest of your body) is considered a gift from your parents and may not be damaged without a good reason. Furthermore, prisoners and psychiatric patients commonly have their heads shaved, often to prevent the spread of lice, but sometimes also as a demeaning measure. Having the head shaved can be a punishment prescribed in law, but also something done as "mob justice". An infamous example of this was the thousands of European women who had their heads shaved in front of cheering crowds in the wake of World War II, in particular by the communist groups in France, as punishment for associating with occupying Germans during the war. However, an important haircut can also be positive, such as changing one's style after a breakup or overcoming the fear of hair loss by just shaving it off. Selling One's Own Hair is a Sub-Trope. The opposite of a Hair Reboot. If it comes after a Heel–Face Turn may result in switching their Good Hair, Evil Hair around. May also occur after or during a Close-Call Haircut. If it's involuntary, it's likely a Traumatic Haircut (though it can also be concurrent if it also involves an important change to the character). If the hair is changed in order to show a change in characterization, this may also be an Expository Hairstyle Change. See also Beard of Sorrow, Dye or Die, and Fanservice Pack. The new haircut is sometimes Power Hair. |

Red String loves this trope. Karen cut her hair after she gets a dressing down from Miharu, whose fiance she'd previously been trying to lure away for her own reasons. After this, Karen becomes a more sympathetic character and stops trying to break Miharu and Kazou up. Miharu's characteristic blond hair is the result of one of these — her friend Reika had her hair lightened (though not bleached) at the same time, symbolizing the strengthening of their friendship and their new lives at a new school. Miharu got another one when she was expelled from that school and had to let her hair go black again, symbolizing the subsequent identity crisis she suffered through. Then she bleached it yet again over the summer, symbolizing trying to reclaim her identity. As the comic still hasn't moved past summer break, it's to be seen if she changes her hair again. Hanae did this in Chapter 45. In this case, she was trying to make a point to her mother that she was serious about her lesbianism. |

Metallica experienced a backlash from their fans when they cut their hair prior to the release of 1996's Load (after a pyrotechnics accident forced James Hetfield to cut his, possibly out of solidarity). Guitarist Kirk Hammett has stated that "Metallica is all about music, not the length of our hair." During Alice in Chains' MTV Unplugged performance (which Metallica attended), bassist Mike Inez wrote on his bass guitar, "Friends Don't Let Friends Get Friends Haircuts..." However, the line was in fact just a Friends reference and the relation with Metallica's new haircuts was coincidental. | |

A not-just-symbolic example: in the StarCraft universe, the Nerazim officially cut themselves off from the Protoss race by cutting off their "nerve-appendages": thick, hair-like fibers at the back of their heads that connect the Protoss to a sort of communal mind-link. The Khalai Protoss eventually do this as well in Legacy of the Void, whereupon Amon corrupts the Khala, turning the Protoss into his slaves; the Nerazim, and some Khalai Protoss before the corruption sets in, cut their own nerve cords off and do the same for every Protoss they can. Karax even commands his assistant probes to do the same with the zealots in stasis aboard the Spear of Adun, and while Rohana retains hers to better study Amon, she eventually trims herself as well. | |

Sluggy Freelance did two of these in one. After Zoe (in camel form) chewed off most of Gwynn's hair, Gwynn used magic to turn Zoe permanently bald. Zoe took to wearing a wig (longer than her previous hairdo), while Gwynn switched back and forth between her short hair and a wig that resembled her previous look. They were eventually restored to their old hairstyles in the "Time for Hair-Raising" arc. Oasis also gave herself one of these in order to make herself look more like Zoe, though in the same arc a lot of it was burned off as well. Her previous Anime Hair was restored when she came Back from the Dead (again). Gwynn had short locks for a brief period when her hair was burned off during the "Dangerous Days Ahead" arc. She grew it back over time. Played for laughs when the long-moved out Zoe moved back in and, trying to find at least one normal event, asked Gwynn what happened to her hair. |

From Black Haze: In chapter 56, Lidusis gets one from Lin in celebration of his growing confidence and to give him a new image in the eyes of his classmates. Rood builds up the big reveal until the class formal, where their classmates are stunned at Lidusis's new look◊. Even recovering Rich Bitch Chevel is moved, using his magic to sprinkle flower petals for effect. In Chapter 119, Kielnode gives himself one when presented with the options of either rejoining the Tower, which he abandoned eight years prior, or taking his own life in retribution for his crime. Naturally, he chooses the former, though he's picking up the dagger to initiate this trope made his captors momentarily believe he was choosing the latter. |

Used in Fire Emblem at least thrice: A conditional example appears in Fire Emblem Gaiden: Should her lover Zeke fall in battle, the priestess Tatiana will cut her hair short as a means of expressing her overwhelming grief. In the remake, Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, Tatiana does not cut her hair but instead locks herself in a monastery for a while. A weird retroactive version of this trope occurs between Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade and Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade with Karel. In the prequel, The Blazing Blade, he's a Blood Knight with hair down to his waist. In The Binding Blade, he has short hair and deeply regrets the way he used to act. Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn puts a twist: Lucia being given a Traumatic Haircut and barely averting being hanged marks a significant turning point for Elincia, |

John "Bradshaw" Layfield was known for having long black hair most of his career. Behind the scenes, when his stock investments went up and had to be on Wall Street more often, he cut his hair short and let it revert to his natural dark blond.

After defeating Shaska Whatley in a hair vs. hair match, Valiant won the right to face Shaska's manager, Paul Jones, in a match with the same stipulation. Shaska interfered to help Jones win exact revenge for his own head shaving. Afterward, a crowd of wrestlers tried to stop Valiant from going through with the head shaving, saying he could protest the finish to the NWA Board of Directors on the grounds of Shaska's interference. Valiant slammed a chair down in the middle of the ring, plopped himself down in it, and gritted his teeth while the deed was done. | |

Isle of Dogs has Atari giving Chief a bath and grooming him after they start to bond. When Chief's fur gets cleaned, Atari realizes that underneath what appeared to be Chief's black fur, he turns out to have white fur and black spots just like his own dog Spots. It comes around full circle when it's confirmed that Chief and Spots are actually long-lost brothers. | |

In Infinity Train: Blossoming Trail, Chloe Cerise has traveled throughout the train with her long red hair flowing free — because the scrunchie that kept her braid together got blown off when the train arrived to pick her up — which ends up getting her trouble when the Organ Man grabs it and is about to chop her head off. However, Chloe has a paper bracelet Lexi gifted her, and he uses his paper powers to fold it into a knife to cut it. Not only does it save her life, but this is also coming off the heels after a horrific series of events in regards to the Unown back in Vermillion City and the realization that Chloe herself needs to change. The next car Chloe enters has her hair styled into side-swept waves and dyed with blue streaks, signaling that she's ready to make the effort to change and go home. In the alternate timeline fic, Infinity Train: Seeker of Crocus, Chloe also gets her hair cut, but this time she's in the Fashion Runway Car as an act to defy how she was chosen to be Lady Destiny for the Cage of Flauros Ritual (as Lady Destiny was depicted as a girl with "long red flowing hair and a white dress"). |

The Owl House: In "Through the Looking Glass Ruins", Amity, with the help of her siblings, cuts her hair into a bob and have it dyed purple, despite knowing that it’ll get her in a LOT of trouble with their mother. This shows that Amity is continuing to break free from Odalia's toxic influence and wants to grow as her own person rather than go with what her mom wants. In the episode "Thanks to Them", Hunter gives himself a haircut when he realizes his hair too closely resembles that of his past abuser, Emperor Belos. Willow later helps him clean it up in a surprisingly tender moment. |

Avatar: The Last Airbender: After his own sister Azula attempts to drag him home in chains, Prince Zuko and his Uncle Iroh cut off their ceremonial top-knots in a dramatic scene, both as a symbol of serious exile from their own Nation and as a practical measure to pass in the Earth Kingdom. Later episodes show them growing out their hair gradually and consistently. Zuko's head had previously been shaved, except for the queue (top-knot). The former is probably a reference to the queues worn by Chinese men during the Qing dynasty to symbolize their loyalty to the Emperor (see Real Life below), while the shaggy mop Zuko wound up with by the end of the second season reflected Turn of the Millennium styles for teenage boys throughout the developed world, giving Zuko an air of familiarity as well as emphasizing his youth, concealing the more jagged areas of his burn scar, and giving his face a much softer look to it, as his Back Story was filled out and he became a more sympathetic character. Zuko also gets an Important Hairstyle Change for the first part of Season 3; somehow the mop he was wearing in Ba Sing Se is long enough to tie up smoothly, and Prince Zuko goes around with a proper grown-up topknot for the first time in his life. Aang is typically bald (customary in the Air Nomad culture) and has a distinctive tattoo of an arrow down his scalp. He spends the downtime between seasons two and three in a coma, where his hair grows in naturally (it's brown). After he's convinced to conceal his status as the Avatar to move freely through enemy territory, he continues allowing his hair to grow until the day of their planned invasion. Azula's haircut is the sign that she is coming unhinged due to paranoia and mistrust. Zuko actually had another important haircut, just after he was banished (with his Uncle Iroh). Beforehand, he had a full head of hair,◊ but just a week later, he was mostly bald.◊ It's never explained if this haircut was a symbolic haircut of disgrace forced on him when he was banished, something he did to himself for his own reasons, or simply a way to keep his hair out of his face while his burn healed. After all badly burned hair would have to be removed and anything hot enough to cause 2nd-degree burns would definitely scorch your hair. The final season of The Legend of Korra sees Korra giving herself one with a lance's blade, after the Trauma Conga Line of the third season finale and finally getting back on her feet after three years. |

Molly Holly had been known as a blonde for the first few years of her career. After her Face–Heel Turn, she darkened it to brown and eventually cut it short. It was half-symbolic, to fit her new character. And it was also half-practical, as her hair had been fried by years of bleaching. Behind the scenes, bleaching the hair in the first place had been one too — she bleached it when she got to join WCW as Miss Madness, the blonde hair fitting her new gimmick of a pageant queen. | |

Many religions have prohibitions or rules in regards to hair. The most famous example is probably the Biblical Samson (Book of Judges), whose parents were visited by an angel who allowed his barren mother to become pregnant if she would abstain from unclean meat and alcohol and never cut the child's hair or shave him. This essentially constituted a pre-natal initiation into a Jewish ascetic cult, and this super out-of-proportion before-birth devotion granted Samson the mystical power of invincible strength, allowing him to become one of the judges who were leaders of Israel. The major part of his story is a negative Important Haircut that eventually results in his blindness and death, making even the inversion of this trope Older Than Feudalism. | |

Gunnerkrigg Court, Chapter 15 shows Red's first haircut, ever. (Owing to her fairy heritage, she didn't even know that hair could be cut.) She's convinced that it's not just symbolic, but that her old long hair that won't stick up is actually the root of all her problems. Also happens at least twice to Kat. First, towards the end of Chapter 29, when Kat finally makes her peace with what she learned about Jeanne and Diego and trims her locks of sorrow; Second, in Chapter 32 when she returns from summer holidays with a new style — and a chip on her shoulder after Annie ran away to the Gilletie Forest without telling her. |

An accidental haircut turned Brutus Beefcake, one of wrestling's best mid-1980s heels, into a face. The incident in question happened during a six-man tag team match aired on WWF Superstars Of Wrestling (involving Beefcake, Greg Valentine and Adrian Adonis vs. Rick Martel, Tom Zenk and Lanny Poffo), where Adonis somehow confused Beefcake for one of their opponents and cut a lock of Beefcake's hair. Beefcake didn't take the incident well but continued as a heel until WrestleMania III when he officially made his Heel–Face Turn and assisted Roddy Piper in getting revenge on Adonis. From there, Beefcake became "the Barber" ... and from 1987-1990 one of the top stars of the WWF. | |

In Final Fantasy IX, Princess Garnet goes into a period of mourning after her coronation as Queen of Alexandria is interrupted by an invasive attack by the Big Bad — a piece of unfinished business she left hanging when she went home to assume the throne. Eventually, she learns to put the incident, and her sense of shame over it, behind her. As an expression of her newfound devotion to give her all to finding and stopping the Big Bad, for her people and for every kingdom in the world, she borrows one of Zidane's daggers — which have a previously established significance in her sense of identitynote Many fans of Final Fantasy remember her more as her alias "Dagger", which she adopts after the "abduction"... At least, it's the default — and uses it to give herself an Important Haircut. In a slight twist, her hair has grown back to its original length by the end of the game, although the symbolic weight of the Important Haircut doesn't seem to be diminished by it (and the long hair would likely be more appropriate for The High Queen she becomes). | |

At the end of the Teen Titans (2003) episode "Birthmark", Raven cuts her hair, which had grown out like her father's (fittingly, this happens after Raven's father tells her via a vision that she will help him bring about The End of the World as We Know It), back to its normal length. The haircut seems to symbolize her taking back control of her life, reclaiming her humanity. The same haircut presumably happens in "The End, Part 3". Her hair grew out again when she regained her power (which she used to defeat her father for good), but when we see her again back in Titans tower, her hair is back to normal length again. However, we never actually see her cut her hair in this episode. | |

Kim Possible: After Kim forced Ron Stoppable to cut his hair, his personality took a 180. He became secure in himself, dressed more slick than he ever did, and got to be popular with the attractive girls. But he became such a jerk that even his loyal naked mole rat didn't want to spend time with him, so he had his hair combed wrong, making the attractive girls overlook him again. Also, in the time travel movie A Sitch in Time, the older present Ron advised the past young Ron that he should keep the haircut. |

Coney was subjected to this trope twice in Kevin & Kell. The first time was her getting her very first haircut, not long after she said her first word. (She needed it too, turns out under that bonnet was enough hair to make her look like Cousin Itt.) Years later, after a misadventure that involved her shaving her hair to look like her cousin Wendell, Coney had her hair restyled (with the help of hair extensions made from her tail hair) into more of a poodle cut. This puts a strain on her friendship with Harcourt, who didn't act so happy about it at first. When he explains that he needs time to process surprises since his childhood has led him to prefer consistency, they make up. |

Professional Wrestling uses the haircut as the ultimate insult, which means it is occasionally used as a way to resolve a dispute that has gone beyond It's Personal levels. In Mexico, it is especially considered a "statement victory" if you win with your hair (or mask) on the line, especially if your opponent has the same risk. This goes back to 1942 when El Enmascarado Rojo shaved Bobby Segura to pay him back for the luchadors whose masks he took. The winning luchador is typically implied to keep the masks and hairs he wins as trophies. | |

In Mulan (pictured above), the title character cuts her hair off with a sword in a half-practical (making her upcoming Sweet Polly Oliver charade easier), half-symbolic (breaking off with her past) move. Also, Chinese adults traditionally were forbidden from cutting their hair, as there would be no proof that they got parental permission; making this an even more daring move on Mulan's part. | |

In Disco Elysium, it's possible to shave off the Player Character's huge mustache and mutton chops. While the game does not explicitly say anything about the significance of this, and mostly leaves it up to the player to decide what is, it is easy to read it as the Player Character making a deliberate break with the past. The player character isn't quite sure that shaving is the right call after doing it, but thinks he might look younger (along the lines of a Thought elsewhere in the game that allows the player character to figure out that, since he's only 44, he still has time left to recover from his nihilistic alcoholism). The player character remarks that his look now seems like "a normal cop", and if the player asks Kim to comment on his new look, he says the player character should have kept the beard because it covered up more of the damage, which implies it's an attempt to drop his Mask of being a hedonistic Disco party animal, and be honest to himself about what he is, the job he has to do and what he's done to his body and brain. | |

In the alternate timeline fic, Infinity Train: Seeker of Crocus, Chloe also gets her hair cut, but this time she's in the Fashion Runway Car as an act to defy how she was chosen to be Lady Destiny for the Cage of Flauros Ritual (as Lady Destiny was depicted as a girl with "long red flowing hair and a white dress"). | |

Used multiple times in El Goonish Shive. Ellen cuts her hair shorter just as she is starting to find her place in the world. Susan dyed her hair and had it cut after finding out about her father. When she has an angst-induced awakening after learning the truth about the hammers, the dye drains from her hair, which then turns actually black, creating the strange effect of an Important Haircut that leaves her hair looking exactly the same. And there's Nanase, who cuts her hair really short. Not so much an important haircut as it is an important complete makeover. Nanase gets another one when her magic is temporarily run out. Her hair goes completely black. |

Inverted in Drowtales — when Vaelia is no longer a slave and becomes Ariel's servant and guardian, she gets hair extensions. This is justified because short hair on women is a telltale sign of slavery, even without a slave collar. Long hair on a human in Drow's world would cause anyone to have a double-take. | |

Dwarfs in the world of Warhammer who fail to fulfill an oath or become similarly dishonored seek death on the battlefield, joining the Slayer cult. This is done by discarding any armor, dyeing their hair orange (in honor of the first Slayer), hacking it into a mohawk (not explained), and finding the nastiest enemy they can. Dwarfs being dwarfs, don't expect them to throw the match. | |

In The Jenkinsverse, both Jen Delaney and Adrian Saunders shave their heads around about the same time. Jen's haircut is born of the practical need to pass anonymously without anybody recognizing her distinctive red hair and symbolizes her commitment to leaving her old life behind. Adrian's haircut marks the moment where things finally start picking up for him and he's able to clean up, acquire some assets and allies, and start fighting back. | |

Immediately after quitting playing the Doctor, Tom Baker shaved off◊ all his iconic '70s curls as a form of breaking with the role, as he was severely Lost in Character and needed to relearn the difference between himself and the Doctor. After doing this, he discovered no-one recognised him anymore, and (missing the adoration of children who would come up to him in the street and gawp) related it in his autobiography Who On Earth Is Tom Baker? to Samson cutting off his long hair and losing all his powers. | |

Natalya Neidhart dyed her hair red in 2008. Behind the scenes, she did it because she felt there were too many blonde Divas already. On-screen, it coincided with her winning a chance to become the first Divas' Champion. She went back to blonde when she joined the Hart Dynasty — and added a pink streak in honor of the Hart family colors. | |

Outside of the ring, it's a bit of a tradition for some male wrestlers are known for their long hair to cut it short once they retire. Edge gradually shortened his after retiring but went fully short before his Hall of Fame induction. Triple H shaved his head after his big loss to Brock Lesnar and transition to a character rolenote The cut was also half-practical since he had to wear his hair up in the office and found it a pain. Kevin Nash cut him off after his 2011 program with Triple H had ended (he let the haircut from the above example grow out almost immediately). Adam Rose had long hair well past his shoulders, but cut it all off as soon as he was granted his release. | |
