I don't know the work. All I can suggest is that even though it doesn't sound like it was traumatic for the heroine in this case, there are several examples of the scenario you mention (hair being cut short to humiliate women) under the Traumatic Haircut trope (and not all of them actually are traumatic). So it's possible you'll find this work there.

Consider Phlebas doesn't sound right, but is definitely worth a look, thanks. The protagonist is a woman, the part of the story I remember is told from her point of view. She's captured early and imprisoned (that's when she mentions the haircut) and continues to tell the story from what she can see/learn while locked up. I don't know if she tells the whole the story, they may flip to the male agent for some chapters. I've examined Traumatic Haircut before, but I'll look again. Thanks!
