* ''{{Series/Charmed 1998}}'':
** Penny Halliwell, the fearsome [[NeverMessWithGranny grandmother slash demon hunter]], who also DoesNotLikeMen, is usually portrayed with this hairstyle. Flashbacks to her thirties, when she was a GranolaGirl and before the death of her first husband, shows her with long hair in QuirkyCurls.
** Inverted for Prue in terms of power but not in terms of personality. At the start of the series, when she's at her most powerless, her hair is short enough that it gives this impression as she continues the buttoned-up oldest sister persona. As her power grows and she loosens up, her hair grows out until it's nearly waist-length when she's at her most powerful.
** Subverted in a BadFuture where Prue has become a CorruptCorporateExecutive. She's shown with waist-length hair bleached blonde. Given that she's using her powers for personal gain in said future, a hairstyle that magic would make easier to maintain would be a given.
** Season 8's "Mr and Mrs Witch" has a WholePlotReference to ''Film/TheManchurianCandidate'', and the demon playing the Eleanor Shaw role has this type of hair.

Similar to its SisterTrope BoyishShortHair, the reason why this cut is deemed professional is because it actively averts LongHairIsFeminine, since femininity is often associated with [[WomenAreDelicate incompetence and unreliability]], both in general and in relation to masculinity. However, whereas BoyishShortHair intentionally mimics short hairstyles that [[RealMenHaveShortHair men sport]], PowerHair still seeks to maintain its femininity in its styling, as being a woman that's perceived as too masculine [[NoGuyWantsAnAmazon has its own slew of issues]].
