* Haruhi Fujioka of ''Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub'' sports very short hair, and the fact that it allows her to [[SweetPollyOliver pass for a guy]] helps to kick off the plot. It turns out that her hair being so short wasn't done on purpose, since she used to wear it long until she cut most of it off after a kid stuck some gum in it. The epilogue of the manga shows that she's starting to grow it out again.

The contrast of a short-haired girl with a long-haired one can sometimes be used to portray a TomboyAndGirlyGirl. If taken to extremes, a girl with Boyish Short Hair could be a ButchLesbian, many of whom have this as an indicator. Maybe the result of an ImportantHairCut, with the new short hair being an indicator that the girl is ready to take action. Also sometimes necessary for a girl to go undercover as a SweetPollyOliver.
Particularly in Anime and Manga, Tomboys may wear short hair with longer grown out sidelocks. The hair is still boyish but the tails supposedly make it just girly and cute enough. It also makes them look a bit less professional, and more combatant than having short hair even all around.
