[[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]].

It is not an [[Important Haircut]]-- 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.
