I just realized:
Every generation of War has sheered their hair short for ease of keeping it out of the way except dearest Fourteen
Fourteenth War was cursed with her mother’s mane, both in color and in sheer compositional volume. The hairs themselves are very fine [think watery ink], but the amount of that put all together makes it act wiry and alive.
While she technically could cut it short, neglect to keep it shorter than three inches result in it puffing out, without proper weight to anchor it down. Longer than shoulder-length makes it considerably easier to manage.
Long story short, if Fourteen were to cut her hair down and forget to upkeep it, she’d turn into a Void-colored dandelion puff for a while until it weighs itself down.
