Misused: Dyeing For Your Art

This trope means that an actor makes significant physical changes for a film. There's also Dye Hard, which is changing the color of your hair. On the first trope, there's a bunch of examples that are simply (actor changes his hair color) which fits on the subtrope and is too subtle for the supertrope.

I propsoe these things:

• Remove all examples and wicks on Dyeing for Your Art that are just changing the hair color because it's not worth listing
• Remane this trope to be better descriptive, but mainly to remove the word "dye", as it's causing the hair examples to go here.

Not sure on this, but does all fo this also apply to hair styles?

Yeah, I think the hair dyeing examples should go onto Dye Hard, but the haircut ones are fine here.

Another option would be

• Transplant the trope for someone who went to the extreme like loses weight or bulked up and such for a role.
• Dyeing for Your Art, people who wore wigs or dyed their hair for the role.
• Dye Hard, In-Universe of someone dyeing their hair, almost always meaningful in Reinventing themselves, hiding out, hiding their ancestry and so on.

That would make Dye Hard a Sister Trope to Important Haircut.

Not a complaint or anything. Just an observation.

It would yeah. It would also not be trivia anymore.

Its modus operandi for both Gyaru Girl and Japanese Delinquent to do this and go blonde although the former does not need to be blonde, pink is pretty normal as well.

Examples that come to mind are

• Kirino from Oreimo's iconic orange hair is dyed as part of her work as a trendy model. Her natural hair color is seen in flashbacks and pictures, dark brown like her brother.
• Setsuna from Mahou Sensei Negima! is albino but dyes her hair black and wears black contacts out of shame and fear of continued racism.
• Kanji in Persona 4 dyes his hair blonde for his Japanese Delinquent look, once he is past that phase he changes his hair color back to its original brown.
• Ryuji in Persona 5 is doing the same thing as Kanji although we have yet to find out his original hair color.
• Durarara: Shizuo dyes his hair from black to blond to differentiate himself from his brother.
• I Jedi : Corran dyes his hair grey when he goes undercover trying to find his wife, not knowing how it works his first attempt turned it a spectrum of green to gray for some laughs at his expense.
• Mimi of Digimon Adventure went through a kid friendly Gyaru Girl phase and dyes her hair pink and later blonde while in America then back to brown later.
