This picture happens like 9 months after my fanfic where he gets hospitalized, and, ok.

(( I have a headcanon that whenever he's going through a stressfull time in his life he ditches his usual angled buzz cut for a full-head buzz cut.

It has to do with the backstory of the hairstyle, which is basically that his parents never ever took him to the barber, so his hair was long and matted and uncomfortable for years. At some point (when he's like 15) the, kid just looses it and shaves his head impulsively, leading his parents to completely freak out about it (calling him insane as if its not their fault that he was so uncomfortable and untrusting of them. Sigh.)

Once everything settles, he starts shaving only the side of his head the way we see it in canon, and is loyal to this cut until everything happens (the fanfic) in July of 2025. ))

I also dont think he would be very picky about his strangely specific hairstyle while being hospitalized and unable to walk (😭).

So after coming back from the hospital, I think maybe Diana would offer to help him take care of his hair as it grows out again, because at the end of the day, self-care and spending quality with people you love helps deal with depression in the long run.

So yes, Diana, from then on washes and treats his hair so it grows out healthily. Because the thing about Ulysses (I think this is even visible in his canon design) is that he has really thick hair. And I imagine it grows rather quickly. His inmune system genetics may be fucked, but those hair genetics are incredible, trust me you guys. And I just know Diana: The Ultimate Cosmetologist would love his thick hair and its potential pls trust me on this.
