Traumatic Haircut - TV Tropes. Just a little off the top.. Jewelry? Vast wardrobes?
Footwear? Cosmetics? For some weird reason, none of them are the most prized possessions for some societies and individuals; instead, it's..
Whether it's good or evil, a person's hair comes to symbolize honor, social status, and otherwise serves as a human peacock tail, representing a life rather than a fashion statement. Thusly, having it forcibly cut off isn't just a minor fashion faux pas, but akin to rape; and is likened to having your life stolen from you. From another view, a forced haircut serves as the symbolic initiation of worse things to come. To women, this may be traumatic due to the belief that long hair is feminine.

A minor subtrope involves having long hair being the source of a hero's powers, or rather, commitment to obey God's command for you personally not to cut it. In modern tales, it can be an emotional anchor that when cut off renders a hero vulnerable and powerless. Compare Important Haircut, where it is often self- induced to indicate a change in values or goals, and Expository Hairstyle Change for when there's any hairstyle change that also indicates a change in character.

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.
Bobobo- bo Bo- bobo: The evil Empire's plot was to shave everyone's head bald, though this is played for laughs.

She's been known to attack snakes larger than herself with her bare hands for this offense — and not only win, but 'capture it in a Pokeball. Akane's accidental haircut courtesy of both Ranma and Ryoga, which doubles as Close- Call Haircut since she got it cut by a boomerang thrown by Ryoga when she was trying to protect Ranma from him. Both Ranma and Ryoga start apologizing profusely, expecting a Megaton Punch or the like, but Akane was remarkably calm about it. Turns out she only had long hair to begin with to impress Dr.
Tofu. Now, if her hair had been cut before she gave up the crush on the older man, heads would've rolled. Not that it stopped her from giving both Ranma and Ryoga an Armor- Piercing Slap before she left, though both of them told her to hit them in between the apology round. Since Ranma isn't aware of Akane's reasons to keep her hair long, after it gets hacked off he blurts out "B- but it's just hair, why would she be THAT angry?"; then one of Akane's school friends harshly rebukes him, saying that "a woman's hair is her life". Only then Ranma and Ryoga realize that it was a bigger deal than they thought and start to apologize.
Akane herself explains her reasons to Ranma a little later. We're introduced to principal Kuno, the father of Tatewaki, whose weapon of choice is a pair of hair clippers.
We learn that in previous times, his favorite obsession was shaving his son bald (an obsession still burning, and one that now affects all the students in the school), and this is something that has left deep scars in Tatewaki's heart. Traumatic haircut indeed.
In Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne, Fynn's background story involves one and is justified. An angel's hair contains their spiritual power and if a lot of it is cut at once, like it happened when a greedy priest wanted the power in Fynn's hair and cut it off to the familiar short hair with the two long strands in front, the power releases at once and overloads, causing something like an explosion that can kill people. During junior high (and before her brother's death) Orihime used to be tormented by other girls, who cut her long reddish brown hair since they didn't like it. After Tatsuki saved her, Orihime vowed never to cut her hair again as a symbol of their friendship. Ayasegawa Yumichika's attack on Charlotte Cuulhuorne's hair is enough to make Charlotte go to his released form, despite already dominating the fight. It's implied Yumichika did it deliberately in an attempt to make Charlotte release sooner rather than later — it worked. It's also a call back to Yumichika's fight with Ganju, who knew he was weaker and less skilled than Yumichika so tossed a firework at Yumichika's hair which won him the fight..
Yumichika was left with a Funny Afro (he uses a wig to cover it up). In the manga version of Flame of Recca, Mikagami cuts Yanagi's hair after telling her about his dead sister (who she looks very much like, and apparently looks even more like with her hair short). Recca gets royally pissed, and brings up the hair=life comparison during the fight that ensues.
Both played straight and parodied in the Rose of Versailles manga; first parodied with Andre's reluctance to cut his hair for a disguise (and Oscar's mockery of him for this), later played much more tragically with the imprisoned and condemned to death row former Queen Marie Antoinette. Subverted in the Arlong arc of One Piece: Hachi receives a Close- Call Haircut in a swordfight, and howls with rage..
But later played straight with Brook in the Thriller Bark arc: a zombie powered by his shadow threatens to cut his Funny Afro, and Brook panics, since it can't grow back, and he needs it for Laboon to recognize him. A similar subversion occurs in Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple during a Master Class fight between Shigure and Kii Kagerou. Shigure manages to cut Kagerou's hair with her katana; at first Kagerou looks genuinely pissed by the feat, only to reveal moments later that he was in fact kidding and that he doesn't mind his loss at all.
In Basilisk, Yashamaru gets his long hair cut off during a battle. The same one where he actually dies.
D. Gray- Man. Lenalee's long, beautiful hair is destroyed (leaving it boyishly short) after her battle with the Level 3 Akuma. She does begin to regrow it, and at the current point in the manga it is now shoulder length. However, she was never shown being distressed by the fact her hair was cut. A funny example is the fact that Allen and Kanda threaten to shave the other's head. During a sparring practice they wagered their hair on the outcome.
In Deadman Wonderland, Scar Chain manages to rig the slot machines so that Minatsuki doesn't have to lose any body organs, just cut her hair short. After spending club funds with which he had been entrusted, Eguchi Yousuke of Shonan Bakusouzoku swears he will shave off his pompadour if he can't pay the money back. Eguchi's pompadour is very Serious Business. Maya Natsume in Tenjho Tenge while fighting against Emi Isuzu. In Claymore, Clare and Teresa were both originally proud of their long, black hair. The process used to give them their powers turns their hair platinum blonde.
Clare also is forced to cut her hair during training. Also, Clare accidentally cuts off a lock of Galataea's hair while rescuing her from Agatha, who's holding Galataea hostage. Much indignation ensues. The manga version of Chrono Crusade shows that Chrono's hair was worn long as a child up until a battle right after what would have been his coming- of- age ceremony.
During the battle his Rapunzel Hair is burned off to the shorter, jagged cut that he wears the rest of the time (in his true form). It seems pretty symbolic of Chrono losing his innocence, particularly since the battle marks the start of the trauma that eventually leads to him becoming a Failure Knight, if not downright developing PTSD (it's also worth noting that when he meets Rosette and Joshua in his Sleep- Mode Size, his previously short hair has grown long again, possibly hinting that he regains some of his innocence by spending time with the children).
Katsura from Gintama has his hair cut off to be used as a trophy after apparently being killed by an assassin in the Benizakura arc. It eventually grows back. In chapter 4. 3 of Desire Climax Hayato does this to Mio after kidnapping her, cutting her long hair shorter. In Laputa: Castle in the Sky, Muska shot off each of Sheeta's braids as a threat. Eureka indirectly suffers this in episode 1.
Eureka Seven by the Scab Coral. A very young (read: no older than 1. Sylia Stingray gets her head shaved fully bald in the flashbacks of Bubblegum Crisis 2. Mad Scientist father's orders; it's to subject her to brain surgery, which provided Dr. Stingray with the material and data that would ultimately create the future Big Bad of the series, Galatea.
Later, little! Syliahas a pixie- like cut and a bandage on her head, and when seen as an adult she's let it grow past her shoulders. In episode 6 of the anime adaptation of Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions, despite claiming it as the only way to apologize Isshiki actually doesn't want to go bald. However, Nibutani demands he goes through with it. Isshiki does, but isn't happy at all. Especially considering he had to deal with being bald for the past three years, and fears he will end up Prematurely Bald like his father. One of the stories in Confidential Confessions has a teacher [[spoiler: Who forcibly cuts the hair of a female student before proceeding to strip her off her uniform and slut shaming her..
A brilliant Tinder hack made hundreds of bros unwittingly flirt with each other. Like other semi- anonymized digital spaces, Tinder creates a forum for individuals — namely men — to test the limits of aggressive and lewd behavior with seemingly little repercussion. At Vox, we have a chat room dedicated to staffers’ Tinder misadventures. It is a bleak landscape: women at the company have reported receiving a range of pick- up lines from the inane ("whats ur favorite beanie baby?"), to the bizarre ("Name a better song than Heartbreaker by the late Maria Carry" [sic]), to the gross and offensive and ("Those lips are so gorgeous that they make me wonder what your other set looks like"). But over the last few weeks, a California- based computer engineer — we’ll call him Patrick — has pitted heterosexual male against heterosexual male. Patrick’s program identifies two men who "like" one of his bait profiles (the first used prominent vlogger Boxxy's image; the second used an acquaintance who had given Patrick consent) and matched them to each other. The suitors’ messages — some aggressive, others mundane, but all of them unabashedly flirtatious — are then relayed, back and forth, to one another through the dummy profile.
Tinder is notoriously vulnerable to hacks: in 2. Last summer, Valleywag reported on a number of techies who tweaked the system to automatically "mass- like" every girl they come across. Patrick was a Tinder user (in fact, it's where he met his current girlfriend) and says that female friends of his would often complain about the messages they received on Tinder. The original idea was to throw that back into the face of the people doing it to see how they would react." Initially, he set out to build a Twitter bot that tweeted every first message a female friend received, but then he looked into Tinder’s API and found it had little safeguard from more extensive tweaks. Tinder makes it surprisingly easy to bot their system. As long as you have a Facebook authentication token, you can behave as a robot as if you were a person."The program made matches within minutes of activation; Patrick estimates he was overseeing 4.
He developed code to scramble phone numbers and stepped in when a real- world meeting was imminent, but he also feels ambiguous about the ethics of the prank: "They ignore all the signs, they ignore all the weird things," he says of the users. When someone is so quick to meet up without any detail or know anything about the person at all — maybe it’s deserved."Patrick's exploit reveals the weakness of Tinder's API — but also shows what happens when men's desperation is turned on each other: some turn to anger, others are confused, and still others appreciate the humor of it. But above all, over and over, men breeze by every red flag that indicates they’re not speaking with a woman. Evidently, the first symptom of extreme thirst is blindness. The following screenshots of the dummy account were provided to The Verge.
