[['''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-- butshorter—but not short-- hairshort—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]].
 
It is not an [[Important Haircut]]-- those—those happen in series and are, as the title says, important to the plot. It is also not an [[Expository Hairstyle Change]], which usually does not flashback to a character's childhood. This trope deals only with characters keeping the same hairstyle from childhood until the present time.
 
Additionally, this trope sometimes applies to some characters in a work of fiction, but not to others.
