When Dyeing for Your Art affects another role too. Real life can write the plot, but it can write the hairstyle too. Say there's a movie in one actress's collection where she doesn't have her trademark long blonde tresses, the reason is that she shaved her head for another role and filmed this one while still growing it back. Or the actress just did it on a whim, and they decided to roll with it. This is often the case in long-running series and franchises, where the actors will be contractually obligated to keep their hair a certain way. Sometimes they'll just have the actor wear a wig because the character changing their hair would be too out of character. Other times they might make the haircut a plot point. Compare Throw It In!, Expository Hairstyle Change, Actor-Inspired Element. |

Kevin Nash lost a Hair vs Hair match against Chris Jericho because he had to cut his hair for The Punisher (2004). And the bleach blond he had for that week (and therefore the film) was (according to Chris Jericho's autobiography) a whim to fool the fans into thinking he wouldn't get his hair cut if he'd just bleached it. | |

Nikki Bella of the Bella Twins originally favored blonde hair (though she is naturally dark) but had to dye hers the same colour as Brie when they did the identical twin models thing. As being identical and switching places in matches was their initial gimmick in WWE, they had to maintain this for years (Brie at one point sported bangs at a red carpet event but had extensions in whenever she was on TV). In 2013 when they began to differentiate their personalities on-screen, Nikki added blonde highlights. | |

For Heathers, the normally brunette Shannen Doherty is red-haired as Heather Duke. Producers originally wanted her to be blonde, so that all three Heathers could match (Kimberly Walker and Lisanne Falk were already blonde). Shannen refused, and going redhead was a compromise. | |

Shawn Michaels was bald during his brief return to the ring in 2018 due to him having shaved it for his role in the film 90 Feet From Home - where he plays a cancer patient. Many fans thought he'd embraced his hair loss and would keep it shaved, but he would grow his remaining hair back afterwards. | |

Haven: Dwight is played by Edge, who retired from wrestling while on the show, and was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2012. As he was no longer wrestling and "didn't want to be a 40-year-old with a ponytail", he cut his famous long hair completely short to coincide with the induction ceremony. Dwight then has short hair in Season 5. | |

In late 1995 into 1996, Sting swapped his trademark bleach-blond flattop for a longer, brunette (his natural color) style. This was entirely Steve Borden's decision, as he felt the flattop was out-of-style and he wanted to change with the times. The new hairstyle led to him switching to his legendary "Crow" persona near the end of 1996. And in a case of real life preventing a hairstyle change, Sting has stated that one of the reasons why he never reverted back to the surfer Sting persona is because of his hair loss in later years preventing him from bringing back the flattop. | |

A terrible case of such in Are You Being Served?; when the series began, Miss Brahms would typically wear her hair down, but in later seasons, her hair would be styled up in a loose bun either on the back or side of her head. Wendy Richard, who played Miss Brahms, explained that the style change came about because her husband at the time had been physically abusive, beating her and pulling out clumps of her hair. This necessitated that the production employ makeup artists and hairstylists who were very accomplished at disguising such injuries. | |

The Full House Season 2 premiere "Cutting it Close" had Jesse end up getting his mullet cut off into a shorter style due to Stephanie cutting off a lock of hair during a game of "barber" with actual scissors. In real life, John Stamos (Jesse's actor) actually had his hair cut before Season 1 finished, as he felt the mullet was going out of style (this was in 1988), and so in the last couple of Season 1 episodes and at the start of "Cutting it Close," Stamos was actually wearing a wig resembling his old mullet. | |

Roseanne: During the final season, John Goodman was also filming The Big Lebowski, and so he sports the flattop haircut he had for that. At one point, he appears as Walter. Becky has a very short, boyish cut for the last few episodes of season 3. Lecy Goranson had asked producers about cutting her long hair but they refused on the grounds that boys from Illinois (where the show was set) don’t like girls with short hair. (Goranson, who is from Evanston, naturally protested this, but to no avail.) When Roseanne Barr got wind of this, she took a pair of scissors and cut a large chunk of Goranson’s hair, leaving the producers no choice but to allow Goranson to cut the rest. |

Inverted for Felicity: the scripted Important Haircut near the beginning of season 2 instead wrote real life, as it were, coinciding with a drop in ratings and engendering a lot of buzz over whether shearing off Keri Russell's locks was to blame for the show's Sophomore Slump. As a result, the WB introduced an order that no young stars on their shows could make major hair changes without permission. | |

Krissy Vaine was best known for being platinum blonde on the indies in Team Blondage. But when she was in DSW and OVW, she had darker hair. This is because WWE refused to hire her because she looked too similar to Torrie Wilson with her original colour. She had decided to go back to platinum blonde by the time of her short-lived call up in 2007. | |

Scrubs had Elliot Reid with dark blonde hair in the first two seasons, but the network then demanded a sexier female character to draw in male viewers. So the first episode of Season 3 has Elliot giving herself a makeover involving a shorter platinum blonde haircut. While the makeover was toned down by the end of the season, Sarah Chalke remained that lighter shade of blonde for the rest of the series. | |

During the second season after "Rangers Back in Time" and before "The Wedding", Aisha's hairstyle changes from straight to box braids and would continue sporting the hairstyle until her departure. This was because her actress Karan Ashley had tied her hair into that as the cast were busy shooting the film, which was filmed back to back in Australia with two three-part episodes including this one and "Return of the Green Ranger". | |

Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: Season 3 has an episode where Bulk and Skull join the junior police, and end up getting induction haircuts. This came about because Paul Schrier felt his hairline wasn't matching too well with Bulk's long hair and wanted to cut it off, so it was written into the show. Jason Narvy didn't want to cut his as short, which is why Skull just gets a flattop instead of a buzzcut like Bulk. During the second season after "Rangers Back in Time" and before "The Wedding", Aisha's hairstyle changes from straight to box braids and would continue sporting the hairstyle until her departure. This was because her actress Karan Ashley had tied her hair into that as the cast were busy shooting the film, which was filmed back to back in Australia with two three-part episodes including this one and "Return of the Green Ranger". |

Becky Lynch had dyed red hair when she first debuted on WWE television for the sake of an Oireland gimmick that was dropped due to negative audience reactions. She kept the hair for a while (even though she had no reason to) until adopting a Steampunk look with her hair dyed orange. After becoming the Man, is became more of a dark strawberry blonde. | |

Ryan Nemeth, when he was in FCW and NXT as 'Briley Pierce', dyed his brown hair darker specifically to look different from his brother Dolph Ziggler, who was sporting bleach blond hair on the main roster. It was then flipped around when he debuted for AEW, as his brother had let his natural hair grow out, so he bleached his again to distinguish. | |

Stevie Richards had long hair for his entire career, even when he debuted in WWF. When the planned 'Blonde Bytch Project' gimmick was dropped, he was repackaged with short hair. He found this as a good opportunity, as it led to him being put in the Right to Censor gimmick. | |

Myra Breckinridge: Farrah Fawcett's hairstyle in the movie was the result of an on-set feud between its two stars Raquel Welch and Mae West. The latter refused to work with other blondes, so she was sent to have her hair darkened. This enraged Raquel Welch, and so Farrah was sent back to the colourist. | |

Similar to Kurt Angle, Steve Austin shaved his head in early 1996 because he was losing his hair anyway. He briefly tried to rock a buzz cut, but didn't like it and shaved all his hair off in the hotel bathroom right before a WWF event. The new look led to him ditching his bland "Ringmaster" character in favor of his his bald "Stone Cold" persona. | |

Eric Bischoff had his head shaved during his 1998-99 feud with Ric Flair. Bischoff said he came up with the idea because he was tired of dying his hair black. He was Prematurely Grey-Haired and had been dying it for many years. Now that he was in his mid-forties, he was ready to embrace his natural gray hair. He went through the same scenario again in his 2002-2005 WWE run, as Vince McMahon personally requested Bischoff to dye his hair black again upon being hired and it was shaved on-screen once more towards the end of Bischoff's run. | |

Molly Holly: Her blonde hair for the first half of her career came about because her initial gimmick on WCW was 'Miss Madness', and Randy Savage suggested she bleach it to fit the Pageant Queen image. She kept the blonde hair long after she switched personas to Mona and later Molly Holly in WWE. She changed her hair from blonde to brown after her 2002 Face–Heel Turn because it had been fried from years of bleaching, and she saw the heel turn as a good opportunity to change it. It was initially worn long but had to be cut short because it was "like straw". Her famous head shave at WrestleMania 20 came about because she heard there would be no women's match on the show - so she offered to lose a Hair vs Title match. |

An ironic example of real life preventing a hair change, but Sonya Deville was booked in a Hair vs Hair match against Mandy Rose for SummerSlam 2020. As the match was set up by Sonya ambushing Mandy and cutting her hair, most expected that Sonya would lose and get shaved bald. A week beforehand however, it was changed to a Loser Leaves WWE match. The reason was that Sonya had been the victim of an attempted kidnapping in her home, and would need to appear in court - therefore needing a more 'professional' appearance. | |

Gellar had her hair cut shorter, and dyed blonder, for her part in Scream 2, which she filmed in the summer between seasons one and two. Xander comments on her new hair in "When She Was Bad". This also affected I Know What You Did Last Summer, also filming around the same time; she wore hair extensions for the first half of the film, and the killer then cuts her hair (notably in the book it's based on, Helen's defining characteristic is her long hair). | |

The Office (US): Season 3 sees Jim getting his 2000s Wings hairstyle cut into a shorter, more professional look before his big job interview at corporate. In real life, John Krasinski had to get his hair cut to a 1920s-style so he could star in Leatherheads. The Office show-runners had originally refused to let him cut his hair, until Krasinski had the show's hairstylist create a convincing wig he could wear for the show. | |

Coronation Street: Sally Dynevor was undergoing treatment for breast cancer (ironically after her character Sally Webster was given the all-clear) so she wore a wig for several months. After a while, she opted to appear without the wig, and it was written in that Sally's new boyfriend had taken her for a short haircut. Katherine Kelly's hair was ruined from dye, so she cut it to shoulder-length and in-universe it was an attempt by Becky to look more mature as she approached adoption agencies. Leanne wears a hairpiece for the special Joinery explosion that happened on her hen night. This is because there would be a live episode in between several pre-taped ones (all taking place within the same Extremely Short Timespan) and this helped avoid continuity mistakes. |

In a cancelled Disney film version of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, colour tests show Alice with a curly bob rather than the long hair she's normally depicted with.

Power Rangers (2017) required Naomi Scott to cut off her hair on camera. She did it herself, going from waist length to shoulder-length, and liked the resulting style, so she has sported it in most subsequent roles. The exception is Aladdin (2019), what with it being a period piece where long hair was required. | |

Spears: Bobby Calloway opted for a scissors buzzcut even though the script didn't call for one; this was because the film was shot on and off over several months, and it would be easier to match continuity that way. Towards the end of the film, when Hidell meets up with Rachael in Dublin, her hair is significantly longer. This is because shooting had to be postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and Rebecca Rose Flynn had grown her hair out during the time. |

Yellowjackets: Adult Natalie's hair is in a "dishevelled bob" because Juliette Lewis had to cut it that way for Secret Lies. Season 2's first episode has a brief scene of Lottie in a mental hospital where she has shoulder-length hair. Courtney Eaton had cut it that way at that point, and it helped indicate the passage of time. For continuity reasons, she wore a wig for the 1996 flashbacks. |

The Actors' Life Podcast, filmed over Zoom during the COVID-19 pandemic saw many guests sporting 'lockdown hair' (either overgrown or buzzed short, due to barbers and hairdressers being closed. Some other examples. Bobby Calloway (the host) has a crewcut when interviewing Dawn Wolfe because he'd cut it for the short film Widespread. When Season 2 started up in 2021, he had a buzz cut again because he'd had to shave it for Gold Standard. He was also required to grow a thick beard for it too. Greg Young at one point appears without his beard, because he'd shaved it off for an audition to play a sixteen-year-old. |

A famous example in Peyton Place with Mia Farrow — who became insecure about her long blonde hair and decided to cut it short on a whim. As she was halfway through filming an episode, they had to hurriedly write Alison getting a haircut as a plot point. It underwent Memetic Mutation - "where were you when Mia Farrow cut her hair?" - and led to an urban legend that Vidal Sassoon flew out to cut the hair in a boxing ring (which was just a publicity stunt for Rosemary's Baby). The actress said in her autobiography... | |

In Game of Thrones, it's a plot point in the first season that all Lannisters are blonde. However, as the seasons go on, Jaime and Tyrion's hair become increasingly darker, to the point of being dark brown in season 8. Word from the set workers is that it was simply too damaging to the hair to keep dyeing it for so long, so they chose to prioritize the actors' health over the characters' image. (Cersei and Daenerys wear wigs, which is why their hair remains blonde.) In fact, Tyrion was given bleached blond hair in the original pilot, but it was darkened in the series proper for this reason. | |

Doctor Who: In "State of Decay", Tom Baker had to have his hair permed for the one and only time during his tenure as the Doctor; his hair had lost its natural curl due to him being in ill health. In the TV movie, Paul McGann wears a wig because he'd had to get an un-Doctor-ish military short haircut for his role in the war movie The One That Got Away. (He would later get so sick of the wig in subsequent publicity photos that he managed to get a haircut written into his Big Finish Doctor Who audio dramas, which carried over into "The Night of the Doctor", where his hair is longish, but definitely not the flowing curls of the TVM). Matt Smith, the Eleventh Doctor, played a man with cancer in Lost River around the same time as his tenure as the Doctor was ending, a role that required Smith to shave his head. This did not result in a change of hairstyle, as Smith simply wore a wig. The wig itself, however, was incorporated into the Eleventh Doctor's final story, as he shaved his head and used the wig to hide a spare key to his TARDIS. From the same episode, Karen Gillan wore a wig, as she'd shaved her hair off to play Nebula in Guardians Of The Galaxy. More than anything, she regretted that she and Matt didn't swap wigs. |

Red Harvest was supposed to have long hair in The Magnificent Seven (2016), and Martin Sensmeier had his at knee length when he auditioned. Not realising he was cast partly because of the hair, he cut it short before filming. They then gave Red Harvest a mohawk instead. | |

After shooting wrapped on Die Hard with a Vengeance, Bruce Willis shaved his head for his role in 12 Monkeys. He was later called back to reshoot the ending, which is why John McClane is wearing a baseball cap in the closing scenes, but nowhere else in the film. | |

Criminal Minds: The reason why Garcia's hair is red in the second half of season 5 and the first half of season 6 is because her actress Kirsten Vangsness, who is a natural blonde, had dyed her hair to this color for her role in a webseries called Vampire Mob. Prentiss' actress Paget Brewster wears a wig in the last two seasons of the show's original run as she had cut her hair short to a Boyish Short Hair due to her hair prematurely going gray. Indeed in the Grand Finale, Prentiss tells her teammates that she is getting a haircut soon. She opted not to dye her hair for the Paramount+ revival, hence Prentiss appears with grey hair instead. |

Starbuck eventually growing her hair long in Battlestar Galactica (2003) was because Katee Sackhoff was fed up at having to keep her hair short for the role. Galen Tyrol grows a Time-Passage Beard during a Time Skip at the end of season two which he retains for the first two episodes of the third season. The beard is suddenly gone at the beginning of "Exodus Part 1" with no explanation. Aaron Douglas had to shoot his scenes for the two-parter at a later time due to scheduling issues, a delay long enough that he'd shaved the beard and couldn't grow it back in the time available. |

Natalya Neidhart sported red hair from mid-2008 until 2009 because she felt there were too many other blonde Divas and wanted to distinguish herself. She reverted to blonde when the Hart Dynasty was formed, and added a pink streak to her hair to fit the Hart family's pink and black colour scheme. | |

Once Upon a Time: Emma Swan has blonde hair even though Jennifer Morrison was best known as a brunette at the time because - a natural blonde who had dyed it brown for House - she was annoyed at how often she had to touch up her roots and saw it as a good opportunity to go back blonde. Rumpelstiltskin gets an Important Haircut in Season 6 because Robert Carlyle had cut his hair for T2 Trainspotting. Mary Margaret's hair in Season 4 is slightly longer than her usual pixie cut, as Ginnifer Goodwin had decided to bleach her hair, and was wearing a wig. Belle's hair visibly changes in colour and texture between the end of Season 1 and the start of Season 2. Emilie de Ravin, a natural blonde, had worn a wig for her three episode guest appearances, but dyed her hair brown when she was promoted to regular for Season 2. She reverted to a wig from Season 5 onward because she didn't want to keep dyeing it while pregnant. |

In some episodes of Season 6 of The Avengers Tara King's hair is very short. This is because when Linda Thorson joined the show, they wanted her to bleach her hair blonde. The dye ruined her hair, so in some episodes, she was wearing a wig. The short hair was Linda's growing back. One episode even has characters arguing about what color Tara's hair is. | |

Naomi initially competed with her hair in braids but, on being called up to television to be part of NXT Season 3, the higher-ups showed her a picture of Naomi Campbell and told her "we want you to look like that". As a result, she was notable for wearing a straight weave for most of her career (although she did experiment with a few different styles). It wasn't until 2020 that she wrestled with her hair naturally in an afro. | |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Willow is portrayed as a redhead for the whole series because Joss Whedon wanted the three lead actresses to differentiate themselves - and Alyson Hannigan volunteered to go that colour (she is naturally brunette). Buffy chops off her hair in "Gone" in a fit of depression. This was because Sarah Michelle Gellar had asked to cut her hair and they wrote it into the episode. Gellar had her hair cut shorter, and dyed blonder, for her part in Scream 2, which she filmed in the summer between seasons one and two. Xander comments on her new hair in "When She Was Bad". This also affected I Know What You Did Last Summer, also filming around the same time; she wore hair extensions for the first half of the film, and the killer then cuts her hair (notably in the book it's based on, Helen's defining characteristic is her long hair). Gellar was only available for three days to film "Selfless", as she was getting married to Freddie Prinze Jr. that week. Drew Goddard said in his DVD Commentary for the episode that her hair in the show (the little braid at the side of her head) was her "wedding hair". In "Enemies", Oz has blonde hair, as Seth Green had just finished filming Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me. |

Divergent: Although Tris does cut her hair in the Insurgent book, she cuts it to chin length. In the film, she cuts it drastically shorter because Shailene Woodley had cut her hair for The Fault in Our Stars and didn't have time to grow it out again. By the time of the Allegiant film, the hair matches the way it is in the books. | |

Atomic Kitten Jenny's bobbed hair for "Love Doesn't Have To Hurt" and the first half of the Ladies Night period was because people were having trouble telling her apart from the other two, and it was also wrecked from using extensions too much. Likewise Jenny putting extensions in for "Someone Like Me" was because Natasha showed up one day with a short haircut identical to hers. |

Mick Foley was usually long-haired when he was a full time wrestler, with it being the longest it ever was when he was Mankind. On a retirement and return in 2000 now as a character role 'Commissioner Foley', he had a buzz cut, which he described as a deliberate attempt to not be seen as Mankind anymore. He grew the hair back out and kept it that way until 2017, where he first appeared with a shorter cut one week and then a buzz cut the next, which was motivated by a mistake made with the first. He's kept it short ever since. | |

Star Trek: Voyager: Captain Janeway's "Bun of Steel" from the early seasons was the result of Kate Mulgrew's hair reflecting so much light on camera that it rendered early footage unusable. The tight bun was a hasty workaround that stuck until Mulgrew switched to a shorter cut midway through the show's run. Kes changed from a pixie cut to a longer hairstyle that covered her Unusual Ears because Jennifer Lien became allergic to the glue used to put them on. |

Charmed (1998): Piper has a fringe in Season 1 for the only time on the show because Holly Marie Combs had just starred in the Made-for-TV Movie Sins of Silence, where her character cuts a fringe to hide a bruise. She was initially ready to grow it out by the middle of the season, but Aaron Spelling told her it was her character's trademark and insisted she keep it that way. She was allowed to grow the fringe out for Season 2. Alyssa Milano got a pixie cut to celebrate her 30th birthday, which was right before Season 6 started filming. Rather than making her wear a wig, they threw in a couple of lines referencing Phoebe cutting her hair. Rose McGowan spontaneously decided to dye her hair red right before Season 5, thoroughly annoying producers. The in-show explanation was a potion blowing up on her and turning it that colour, which Rose had sarcastically suggested as the explanation when the producers expressed their displeasure. In her autobiography, she claimed this was a minor rebellion when the studio tried to enforce no hair changes without permission. Paige goes back to brown hair near the end of Season 6 because Rose appeared on Regis & Kelly and had a poll where fans voted what colour she should go next (she had strawberry blonde hair at this point). Danielle Harris was cast as Aviva in "The Fourth Sister" while also filming Urban Legend at the same time, and they wanted her to dye her hair red to look different from the three sisters. As she couldn't change it for continuity on the film, they gave her the slicked back style as a compromise. |

Karlee Pérez was dark-haired for most of her career, but had to lighten her hair with blonde streaks around the time of her re-debut on NXT Redemption in 2011 as Derrick Bateman's girlfriend. This is because she had previously pitched a storyline involving her as a Femme Fatale seducing Teddy Long on Smackdown, but it was given to Aksana instead, who then had to dye her hair from blonde to black and essentially take on Maxine's aesthetic. Karlee then had to change her hair and gear to distinguish herself from it. Once enough time had passed, she went redhead and then eventually returned to her original colour. | |

Similar to the example in The Fog, when Fantastic Four (2015) had to undergo lots of extensive re-shoots, Kate Mara had cut her hair short for The Martian. She wore a wig in an attempt to match her original hairstyle, but it's easy to spot the re-shot scenes because of the differences. | |

Friends: Jennifer Aniston's famous "The Rachel" hairdo came about because - in her words - the hairdresser was drunk, made a mistake and tried to correct it. The little subplot in the Season 2 premiere involving Joey, Chandler and Monica's haircuts came from the actors cutting theirs between seasons and the show deciding to incorporate it. On the day before he auditioned for the role of Gunther, James Michael Tyler let a friend who wanted to become a hairdresser practice on his hair. Apparently, the producers liked the bleach blond look on him, which he kept for the rest of the series. Monica sports a chin-length reddish-brown bob in the majority of season four. This is due to Courteney Cox cutting her hair to this size for Scream 2. Lisa Kudrow had shoulder length hair in Season 6. Feeling Phoebe would never cut hers that short, they had her wear a wig. In "The One That Could Have Been", the shoulder-length cut is Lisa's actual hair; that length being appropriate for Phoebe's alternate reality self. In "TOW Where Monica and Richard Are Just Friends" sees Richard appearing without his usual moustache because Tom Selleck had shaved it off for his role in In & Out. |

Several wrestlers with long blond or light-brown hair had to cut theirs short in the early 2000s to avoid looking too similar to Triple H - who at this point was Vince McMahon's son-in-law and carried a lot more backstage power. Stevie Richards had long hair for his entire career, even when he debuted in WWF. When the planned 'Blonde Bytch Project' gimmick was dropped, he was repackaged with short hair. He found this as a good opportunity, as it led to him being put in the Right to Censor gimmick. Val Venis likewise originally had long hair and cut it short right before being brought into the Right to Censor as well.
