Line 221:
* The opening credits for ''[[Full Metal Jacket]]'' consist of a montage of all the <s>maggots</s> new recruits getting shaved in preparation for basic training.
* The transformative moment in ''[[The Legend of Billie Jean]]'' is when Billie Jean hacks off her hair. She goes from a long blond beauty to an avenging rebel.
** This occurs after she sees the 1957 film ''[[The Passion ofSaint Joan of(1957 Arcfilm)|Saint Joan]]'' on TV; she is adopting the hairstyle of that movie's heroine.
** More soberingly, Putter does the same thing out of defiance after her mother hits her.
* The protagonist of ''[[Cthulhu (film)|Cthulhu]]'' (2007), shortly after arriving back in his hometown, shaves his head similar to his estranged father. As this happens early in the movie I'm not sure exactly what it was supposed to symbolise, though it's apparently a case of [[Real Life Writes the Plot]]—the actor had shaved his head for another role, yet was playing a college professor).
Line 242:
* In ''Frida'', Salma Hayek's titular character gets drunk and cuts her hair in reaction to her marriage failing and then creates a well known painting of the event.
* In ''[[The Long Kiss Goodnight]]'', Geena Davis's character has an Important Haircut (while also dying it blonde) after we've seen the Charly Baltimore personality completely take over (or appear to) and the Samantha Caine personality disappear (maybe).
