I’ll make an actual post about this at some point but hair in terms of control and social groups in media is so important to me because you see it in swing kids where long hair shows being against the Nazis and being a free thinker, outside of the norm- it’s an identity to have long and unruly hair, not just a style, it’s something that sets you apart from the rest and separates you from the crowd. It’s a symbol of youthfulness and rebellion. Once they get caught and they get sent to join the soldiers, their hair is clipped short and smart, there’s no personality and no freedom- they look just like everyone else. hair that once flowed through the wind wildly is now gelled back and unable to move, like how the young boys were forced into these positions in war and how they were trapped, at fear of death for disobeying. In films like grease and the outsiders, having this style of long, greased, slick backed hair is what makes you part of the group, it’s what separates you from the rest who arent apart of the gang. It’s also an identity, but the meaning has changed. It’s less about being against something and more about being a part of something- part of something Bigger. In the outsiders when pony and Johnny have to flee, one of the first things that they do is change their hair. They give up on this huge part of their identity and basically their family, what they’ve always known, how they were raised to be for their survival, something that they wouldn’t even have to do if the gangs weren’t a thing and there were no different groups that were distinguishable by their hair. If society wasn’t so split and so controlled, they wouldn’t have had to cut their hair, and this also goes for real life, aswell, and I’m not talking about hair styles.
