** Penn Badgley was cast as Dan while he had long hair but had become sick of it and knew that having to maintain it for continuity for an entire season would be a nightmare, so he asked the producers for permission to buzz it off completely the morning of filming the pilot. Although he got permission, the episode's director didn't know until he arrived on set.

* Uniquely an example not affecting a film but preventing a change. Creator/IngridBergman cut her hair short to play Maria in ''Literature/ForWhomTheBellTolls'' (who has hers cut by the Spanish fascists). They wanted to re-film a scene in ''Film/{{Casablanca}}'' with different music in place, but Ingrid's change of hairstyle made this impossible. The original music "As Time Goes By" is now considered iconic.

* A terrible case of such in ''Series/AreYouBeingServed''; 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. Creator/WendyRichard, 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.

** Galen Tyrol grows a TimePassageBeard during a TimeSkip 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. Creator/AaronDouglas 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.
