What is the trope for this? If there exists none, shouldn't something representing a different hairstyle for characters in an adaptation of an existing work into another medium exist? Or is Adaptational Dye-Job is where this trope belongs to?

It may seem unimportant, but hairstyles do say a lot about a character and changing it in an adaptation can drastically alter said character's core nature (especially if the story takes place in a historical setting or revolves around tradition vs revolution themes).

In addition it can aid in Adaptational Attractiveness.

Hello there, LVJ (your name's a bit much to type for a short message), and Welcome to TV Tropes.

I'm not sure if we have that trope, but you can try asking in Lost And Found; Trope Talk isn't the place for such questions. If we don't have this one, and you'd like to propose creating a page for it, you can do that at YKTTW. Thank you, and enjoy your time here. smile

Agreed; this is something for the Trope Finder.
