This isn’t the first time I saw this in a romcom, is this a thing people do?

  1. Getting a new haircut after a break-up? Yeah, [that’s a thing](https://www.harpersbazaar.com/uk/beauty/hair/news/a40296/this-is-why-women-really-cut-off-their-hair-post-break-up/).

  2. Yes it is a thing. It’s more apparent in women for the most part (however I know some guys who’ve done this too). Although it’s usually done by super dramatic people and not everyone. I have had it happen to me with one ex-girlfriend

  3. It come from the fact than their is a really ankward moment just after being dumped or after a break up when you have to continue to meet your ex regulary for some reasons.

  4. Big changes to indicate a new era in life.

    Could manifest on different ways but haircuts are the most immediate and obvious so that works best for some peeps

    Others workout or give up a vice etc

  5. It’s common in tv, especially anime for characters to cut their hair when going through a change, either personality, a breakup, or just trying to start anew. It always reminds me of Serena from Pokemon.

  6. I’ve never known someone who did this in real life, but it’s a very common trope in film/TV to have a character cut their hair after a major development to show visually how much it affects them.

  7. Mostly happen when a female characters want to show a strong resolution and not limited to romance in manga, game or LN. Some non-romance example are Dagger in FFIX and Liscia in Realist Hero

  8. Getting a haircut after a break up is fairly common. If you’re talking about how they’re talking to each other and wanting him to call her cute. If they ended on good terms, it’s unusual but not uncommon for them to still interact comfortably
