10 (more) sxf hcs that are canon to me until proven otherwise—hair edition
✂ yor cuts her own hair ever since she almost ground her elbow into the windpipe of a hairdresser brave enough to try cutting it for her. loid is the first person she trusted with the job after she came home too injured to manage it herself. it takes some time post-reveal, but she eventually trusts twilight to cut her hair, too.
✂ yor ties anya's hair in singles (a ponytail, a pleat, or a bun) while twilight does anya's hair in pairs (two tails, two pleats, two buns). anya doesn't have a preference, but when she's old enough to do her own hair, she sometimes chooses to do it in singles or in pairs depending on which parent's energy she wants with her that day.
✂ when he was younger, yuri tried growing out his hair to look like yor's because he wanted to be just like her. he eventually settles for his shorter style because he didn't have the patience to take care of long hair.
✂ becky's the type to say that she'd never get bangs even if her life depended on it. when berlint in love airs its final episode after 10 years on tv, becky comes to school with a choppy fringe. "not a single word," she warns anyone who approached.
✂ anya found that it's a common intrusive thought in her class for people to want to put a palm on top of ewen's hair and just push down until it's flat lol. she does it once and ewen vows never to sit a row in front of anya ever again.
✂ tertius once comes to school without his signature "crown", and while all the girls praise him for trying something new, he's internally upset about it because it's a style that reminds him of home. anya pokes at ewen until the boy discreetly passes tertius a bottle of hair gel. the prince's eyes gleam in thanks.
✂ damian has a "if it ain't broke don't fix it" approach with his hair, so he doesn't really change haircuts as he grew up. but a consequence of having staff at your disposal to cut your hair exactly as you like it for most of your life is that he doesn't know how to explain it to someone else? his first haircut by a barber outside of the desmond manor ended up being too short and sharp, and it was embarrassing until it wasn't, when anya said she thought he looked cool like bondman.
✂ as much as franky complains about his appearance, his hair is the one thing he doesn't want to touch and he is forever on the hunt for hair care products to maintain his curly mane. he only trims it instead of getting big chops, which reminds him too much of when he was enlisted in the ostanian army and they buzzed his curly hair off.
✂ styling twiyor baby's hair is an emotional affair, esp for yor. when she takes the black locks between her fingers, she remembers afternoons of brushing yuri's hair from before and during the war. when she looks into her baby's blue eyes, she wonders what twilight must have looked when he was younger, if his mother felt as much love and affection for her son as yor did with her own.
✂ twilight had no styling preferences for his hair and was never really attached to any one hair style from his different personas. but even after operation strix ends and he's been released from service, he still keeps loid's hairstyle. "for convenience," his mouth says. for the memories, his heart corrects.
