Hair is just hair. Who you are is inside you.

You shouldn't waste money going to movies if a girl having short hair makes you give up on a movie or ruins it for you.

All the people on here hung up on short hair are the worst really. And those that think it makes her look boyish, perhaps you should focus on the pants or macho role rather than her hair.

She didn't wear short hair as good as some but she wore it well and still looked as pretty as ever and it certainly didn't make her unattractive in the least.

Seriously folks. Smdh

People are looking at the haircut so superficially. The Haircut reminds me of the Movie, "The Legend of Billie Jean" Also it is analogous to Joan of Arc.

Generally it is symbolic of a rite of passage, or a signal that the heroine has reached a turning point or become resolved to accomplish a purpose.

Interestingly there are parallels between all three stories. I have to guess the actress, writer or director had that in mind.

Thank you for this post, a nice way of putting the reasoning.

Tris does cut her hair in the book, not as short I'm assuming, but she definitely does, and the movie did a decent job at telling us why she did.

As she's seeing herself in the reflexion, a flash back of her mother begins to cloud her thoughts, and in the book, she says every time she see's herself, she see's her mother, and she didn't want that kind of weight on her shoulders. At this point in the series, she's changed, and she wanted to be different, she had to be different, so she cut it to start anew in a way. So yes, she cut her hair in the book, she just happened to shoot "The Fault in Our Stars" first, so it all worked out.

In the next film, it looks like the length will be a bit more similar to what fans imagined in the book, the big question is how they're going to make the time jump from the end of Insurgent to the beginning of Allegiant!

Changing your hair after a trauma is a pretty common thing actually. So common that hairdressers are taught that if a woman comes in visibly distressed asking for a major haircut, they shouldn't cut the hair and should try to calm her down instead - because it's likely to be a reaction to abuse or sexual assault.

Tris has just lost both her parents and seen a whole massacre, as well as fleeing for her life. So it seems like cutting her hair was just a reaction to that trauma. Shailene Woodley herself joked about how unrealistic it was, saying something like "in a perfect world you could cut your hair yourself and have it look like that after"
