Because [[Long Hair Is Feminine]], when a girl has short hair it tends to mean she's decidedly ''less'' feminine than the average girl, perhaps even a [[Tomboy]] or [[Action Girl]]. This choice of having short hair usually indicates a girl has a more masculine personality, is tough and aggressive, or is lacking in vanity, perhaps being business-like and brainy. Girls may cut their hair short because they don't want to put up with the maintenance that longer hair requires. Other times it's short so no one can easily grab it in a fight, which [[Braids of Action]] are sometimes prone to be.
