It is not an [[Important Haircut]]
Additionally, this trope sometimes applies to some characters in a work of fiction, but not to others.
Similar to [[Same Clothes, Different Year]], only with hair.
And, barring the flashback, this may be [[Truth in Television]], but just as likely is not.

{{examples|Examples: }}▼
* Ichigo in ''[[Bleach]]''. ▼
* Izaya, Shinra, and Kasuka in ''[[Durarara!!]]''.
** Shizuo (a natural brunette) is exempt from this list only because he dyes his hair blonde sometime around high school; the style itself is arguably the same since he was a kid.

** Justified: it has been stated that a Saiyan hair never changes from the day they were born.

* From the few flashback scenes so far, it looks like this applies to many of the main [[Star Driver]]
* In the ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]] [[The Movie]] 1st Tribute Comics'' that doubled as promotions for the four manga running at the time of [[The Movie]]'s release, the ''[http://img843.imageshack.us/img843/8812/comics003.jpg Lyrical Almanac]'' had Subaru making up her version of how she and Teana first met, complete with child versions of the two that were still sporting their teenage hairstyles from ''StrikerS''.
* Wendy Garret of ''[[Gun X Sword]]'' has the same [[Girlish Pigtails|twin braids]] as a very young girl that she dons in series. {{spoiler|She's still wearing her hair that way years later, when she's shown as an adult.}}
Line 52:
== [[Comic Books]] ==
* Young Clark Kent/Superboy, in continuities where he exists, has the same hairstyle(s) as Adult Clark/ [[Superman]] (short, slicked back as Clark, spit-curl as hero). In continuities where Clark ''wasn't'' Superboy, Young Clark usually has the spit curl.
== [[Film]] ==
* ''[[Cloudy
* Played with in ''[[Meet the Robinsons]]'' in that Wilbur has to hide Lewis's hair in order to keep his family from finding out that {{spoiler|Lewis is Wilbur's father.}}
* Apparently Briony in the film version of ''[[Atonement]]'' wore exactly the same hairstyle from childhood until she was an old lady.
Line 63:
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* Simon Tam, in the episode 5 flashback of ''[[Firefly]]''.

* Rose Tyler, from ''[[
* [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]] is shown as blonde as a child in a flashback to Dawn's (imagined) birth. It has previously been established that blonde is not her natural color. Fan [[Wild Mass Guessing]] has it that adding Dawn into continuity somehow changed her hair color.
Line 76:
== [[Web Comics]] ==
* [http://www.pennyandaggie.com/index.php?p=345 Lisa] of ''[[Penny and Aggie]]'', visually distinctive for her hair dyed varying shades of red and tied into six pigtails, is shown having essentially the same hairstyle [http://www.pennyandaggie.com/index.php?p=927 as a child], only with shorter pigtails.
* Virtually all the non-adult characters of ''[[Homestuck]]'' are shown to have the exact same hairstyle throughout their entire lives.
** We even see baby versions of all four kids and their guardians [http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=003790 here], and their hair is exactly the same. Rose even has her hairband!
== [[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 89:
* Katara and Sokka from ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' both had the same hairstyle when they were single-digit aged as they do now that they're teenagers. The same is true for Azula, but ''not'' for Zuko.
** While similar, in "The Southern Raiders" you can see notable if small differences in their childhood hairstyles. However, during Katara's opening speech in the first episode which takes place two years before the start of the series, their hair is identical to the present day.
** In ''[[
* [[Johnny Bravo]] had his trademark hair and sunglasses as a small baby in the crib... as well as his trademark libido.
* Dib and Gaz from ''[[Invader Zim]]'' during flashbacks.
* Brock Samson of ''[[The Venture Brothers]]'' animated TV show seems to have had his trademark mullet for a long time, even back when he was in college during an episode where team Venture and pals are taken hostage by a supposedly dead college room-mate.
* ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]'' has a lot of these. The most exaggerated example is Linda Flynn, since she had the same hairstyle when she was a baby.
* The ''[[
** Also in one episode we flashback to Steve and his friends at the age of four, in a montage we see them growing up together, never changing there hairstyle.
* 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]].
