* Some cancer patients choose to symbolically shave their head even after their chemotherapy is done, or alternatively, keep it short if it had been longer before.
** Friends and family of female cancer patients can shave their hair in support.
* The organization [https://web.archive.org/web/20131027230915/http://www.locksoflove.org/ Locks of Love] makes hair pieces (basically, specially-made wigs) for cancer patients from donated hair.

* Clair of Assisi managed to convince her family that she had really decided to be a nun when she took off her veil and showed that she had cut her (beautiful!) hair short.
* French Revolutionaries cut their hair short to show opposition to the long haired wig wearing aristocracy. Many pro-French members of the Society of United Irishmen copied the hairstyle for moral support, and were nicknamed 'Croppies' after their hairstyle.
