Jewelry, [[Unlimited Wardrobe|vast wardrobes]], and [[Beauty Equals Goodness|facial beauty]] are not the most prized possessions for some societies and individuals; instead, it's... [[Hair Tropes]].
Line 12 ⟶ 11:
{{examples}}
== Anime and Manga ==
* In the ''[[Peach Girl]]'' manga Momo is bullied by a trio of Kairi's fangirls. They tell her that she doesn't deserve Kairi and force her to the ground while holding a lighter to her hair, telling her unless she signs a treaty (saying that she'll stay away from Kairi) then they'll burn all her hair off. Thankfully, Kairi rescues her, but not before the girls manage to singe a bit of Momo's hair.
Line 52 ⟶ 50:
* And... A modern [[Superman]] comic had [[The Joker|Joker]] show up with a chemical which causes mass hysteria because... It makes them bald.
== Fan Works ==
* From a work on ''[[DeviantART]]'', part of a larger series where cartoon heroines are cast as wrestling divas. OC character [[Dark Action Girl|Shadowline]] challenges Entrapta to a Cabellera match, [https://www.deviantart.com/great-dude/art/Shadowline-Vs-Entrapta-925150459 but loses]; subverted, however, as Entrapta decides to give her [https://www.deviantart.com/great-dude/art/Shadowline-Vs-Entrapta-02-960566449 a trendy haircut].
== Film ==
Line 76:
* During the [[Extended Flashback]] that takes up most of the length of ''[[Hiroshima Mon Amour]]'', the female protagonist (who is French) describes how her head was forcibly shaved as punishment for an affair with a German soldier during [[WW 2]].
* Similarly, the Irish lead character of ''Ryan's Daughter'' has her head shaved after an affair with a British soldier.
* In the Japanese classic ''
* Una and, later, Bernadette in ''The Magdalene Sisters''. Might also have happened to Crispina, who has an uneven haircut and is unstable enough that she might have tried to escape like the others.
* Sarah Michelle Gellar's character in ''[[I Know What You Did Last Summer]]''.
Line 93:
'''Fergus''': You said ''anything''.
'''Dil''': Girl has to draw the line ''somewhere''. }}
* Happens to [[Joan of Arc]] in the 1928 silent film ''[[The Passion of Joan of Arc]]'': her hair is cropped to stubble on-camera. It counts as a real-life example too, as Joan's actress Maria Falconetti apparently begged director Theodor Dreyer not to have to do it.
== Literature ==
Line 139:
* In ''[[The Dresden Files]]'', when {{spoiler|Ivy is kidnapped by Denarians and tortured}}, this trope happens.
* [[Harry Potter]] gets his untidy dark hair chopped off by his aunt, all except the bangs ("to hide that horrible scar!") However, being a wizard, it grew back overnight, though Harry lost the entire night's sleep over the fear of getting laughed at more.
* In ''[[
* Happens in ''Becky's Horse'', by Winifred Madison, when Becky's sister Mimi {{spoiler|tries to dye her hair blonde and it comes out greenish.}} She has it cut, and stops being vain about her hair.
* In ''Junie B. Jones is a Beauty Shop Guy'', the six-year-old heroine is pretending she's a hair stylist and experiments on herself. Her dad takes her to a beauty parlor for a neatening trim from an actual one.
Line 145:
* Ehlana gets a drawn-out version during the [[Elenium|Tamuli]]; each message her kidnappers send to Sparhawk include a lock of her hair. By the time Sparhawk catches up with them, she's been shaved bald ... which shouldn't have been necessary, there weren't that many messages. Her kidnappers may have taken extra for the trauma value.
* In the novel ''Pretty Is,'' Erin sneaks up on her ex-best friend [[Alpha Bitch|Kayla]] in the middle of the night and cuts off her long golden hair.
* The Appendices of the [[The Lord of the Rings]] depict one of these in the backstory behind the war between the Dwarves and the Orcs. Hostilities were touched off when the Orc chieftain Azog killed King-Under-The-Mountain Thror, then beheaded him and branded his name on his forehead. All that would have been bad enough, but then Azog decided to shave off Thror's beard too. ''That'' was the [[Berserk Button|absolute last straw]] for the Dwarves, who prided themselves on their full and manly beards, and so began a [[Kill'Em All|war of utter extermination]].
* [[The Hero and The Crown]] has a rare example of the heroine ''inflicting'' the haircut: Aerin gives her annoying and vain cousin a knock-out drink, then sneaks into her room and cuts off her eyelashes. Hilarity ensues.
Line 236:
* April in College Roomies from Hell has her hair cut after she kills another character.
* In ''[[Samurai Princess]]'' Jacquline gets one of these.
* ''Assignée Garçon'' ([https://web.archive.org/web/20190103043405/https://www.assignedmale.com/ ''Assigned Male'']) by Sophie G. Labelle follows a [[transgender]] girl, [[Author Avatar]] Stéphanie, from the beginning of her transition at the age of eleven. Relatively early, she asks for a haircut "like [[Rapunzel]]"... which [https://assignedmale.tumblr.com/post/113935360372/tadaa-ive-been-working-on-this-for-several ends badly].
