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 144:

Line 143:

* 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 [[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.
