'''Hairstyle Inertia''' is the phenomenon where adult or teenage characters who [[Flash Back]] to a time in their childhood are frequently shown to have the exact same hairstyle, though those with long hair usually have shorter—but not short—hair. Pigtails, ponytails, braids, or other hairstyles that require long hair are also shown to be stubbier and shorter;is often used for [[Spinoff Babies]].

And, barring the flashback, this may be [[Truth in Television]], but just as likely is not.

== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* Ichigo in ''[[Bleach]]''.
Line 28:
* Kou/Ric and Nino from ''[[Arakawa Under the Bridge]]''.
* Shichika and Nanami from ''[[Katanagatari]]''.
* Rio, Kanata, and Filicia from ''[[
* Takaki and Akari in ''[[5 Centimeters Per Second]]''.
* Maya from ''[[Occult Academy]]'' (down to an identical dress...)
Line 83:
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* [[The Simpsons (animation)|Marge Simpson]] already had her characteristic beehive as a toddler. Although apparently she wore her hair long and straight as a teenager, and then reverted to the beehive as an adult.
** Bart and Lisa have the same hairstyles as babies as they do now. The future versions of all three kids have roughly the same hairstyles as well.
** As a baby, Homer had two hairs on his head, similar to what he has now. Though he did have a full head of hair between childhood and Marge's first pregnancy.
Line 98:
* The main six kids in ''[[Recess]]'' when they were toddlers.
* Averted and parodied in ''[[Futurama]]'' when a flashback of Zoidberg shows him to have had hair. Amy asks in shock, "Zoidberg had hair?!" to which Farnsworth says that he didn't and that if Amy imagined him that way, that's her business. It's then revealed that [[Bizarre Alien Biology|fear causes Zoidberg to grow hair,]] and he really ''did'' used to have it, and has it again by episode's end ([[Snap Back|only to not have it anymore at the start of the next]]).
== [[Real Life]] ==
* This can be [[Enforced Trope|enforced]] on performers signed to long-term contracts.
** Broadway performers, upon being cast, are routinely warned not to change their hairstyles (as can be heard in the final minutes of ''[[A Chorus Line]]'').
** [[Emma Watson]] complained that the ''[[Harry Potter (film)|Harry Potter]]'' films required her to keep the same hairstyle she had at 11 all the way to the end of her teens. She celebrated the end of the series by [[Important Haircut|cutting almost all of it off]].
