modred11: In the season 2 premiere of Raising the Bar the (I guess) main character Jerry gets a haircut (the shock of which might have gotten him a (temporary) advantage with the judge). The episode's called Hair Apparent. It was fairly dramatic... I think... Either that or humorous, I wasn't totally clear which.
louis: Princess Mononoke:
The prince cuts his hair after being banished to seek his fate.
Looney Toons: You know, louis, you could just put that right into the examples on the page proper. No need to stick it here for approval first.
grixit:
1. I thought Q commented on Riker's beard once.
2. Avery Brooks's hair change also went along with a personality change, making Sisco more assertive and aggressive. Far from transcending Hawk, it appeared he was putting a little Hawk back into the mix.
Isn't this one of the oldest ones in the book? From the story of Samson and Delilah(?)?

Paul A: No, that's a different thing entirely. The Important Haircut is done by the character voluntarily, and it doesn't cause any change in the character, only serves as an external change that reminds the viewers that the character has changed internally as well.

Miral: "Jonathan Frakes grows a full beard between seasons, and nobody ever says anything." That's not true. In one episode Q remarks something along the lines of "Riker's so stolid. He wasn't like that before the beard."
Angela: Hey, no mention of Ninamori from FLCL (who cuts her hair after Episode 3) or Eureka from Eureka Seven who gets a haircut in the middle of the series (the hair eventually grows back in the end, though)?
Mr Death: Who keeps putting that Solid Snake dyed his hair? Look at the older games: He always had brown hair.

Sarah Connor entry: This isn't taking a level in bad ass so much as it is (justified) angst and (mild) self-mutilation. As revealed in a later episode, John had just killed someone for the first time. Throughout this episode Sarah isn't just talking about what happened to Cameron, or what Sarah did, but what John did. Besides, it's actually cvlever writing. And clever writing is never a trope. -ANT Icarrot
LuisDantas:Haley got an involuntary haircut in Order of the Stick recently (as of #613 IIRC). It is probably going to be significant in some way, since it makes her identical to one of her imaginary selves in the #300-somethings.
