The coiffure was both a language and an art form in Doll Games, where dandy or he-man, tomboy or femme, asserted themselves through signature hairstyles. The most masculine hair was molded firmly to the head, as in Josh McBig and Alonzo, and accompanied by sideburns and facial hair; loose curls feminized Jesse and Laurie, while short-cropped hair signified boyishness for Fluff, whose transformation into Aina was effected by a buzz cut. B*****’s hair was both blackened and cut short to cut ties to her despised original identity (whether Dawn’s hair was cropped in this same spirit or in order to diminish her effectiveness as a femme fatale is controversial) Harvey’s foppish personality was brought into being by his innovative ‘do, molded with perfumed oil, together with his penciled mustache (see Mustaches)
