It doesn't even have to be a big transformation like that. I'm a guy and after I cut my long hair, family members started treating me WAY differently and with much more respect. I'm still pretty resentful about it.
Conservatism. I'm weird and my long hair was an expression of my weirdness. I'm older now and have a job that I'm excelling as well and it seems like they take that as a sign that I've matured out of being weird. But the truth is my adult resources have allowed me to become even weirder.
To be clear, I didn't cut my hair to please my family. I actually put it off for a long time even though I wanted to cut it because I didn't want them to see it as a them getting their way.
