I assume it's some dumb backward ass cultural horseshit dating back to honorobu samurai

It's a good "halfway" point between character development and time-skip development.
It's also a low-risk way of demonstrating such development. Hop on over to BNHA, MC there has his arms fucked to dust with matching scars, to show his flaws that he has to overcome.

Women care about their hair usually.

Because it's a highly stylised visual medium

>his flaws that he has to overcome
More like his asspulls he has to discover

I know real books and movies are a little to real for you to handle, but those often employ something called "symbolism" where visual elements correspond to the characters or story.
Cameron Evans
I’d imagine it something like, you spend all this time growing your hair out and cutting a good chunk off is a way to symbolize “starting again” or “letting go of the past”
Still overplayed and dumb. They should do the opposite in an anime just to shit on it

>Girl-tan symbolizes her growing as a person by going to get hair extensions
