Yes, I’ve thought about the hair as well. Not only is Detective Beckett (on Castle) sporting an impractical cut, but it’s just about the most expensive length in the world — if it grows out a quarter inch it will look horrible and be completely untenable, but it’s too long and complex to be easy to self-maintain. She must be going to the salon every week or so.

I usually find it easier to brush off my hair concerns because in general, TV characters are played by extremely beautiful people and I can understand why they want to play that up. Extremely beautiful hair seems part and parcel. As long as the hair isn’t actively hampering their theoretical role in the fictional world, I try to shrug it off.

And of course, many action heroines have long, loose hair so they can throw it around and hide their face for easier stuntwoman substitution (they did that on Buffy all the time.)

I have a similar problem with Hollywood people and their thoughts on hair — you mention the homicide detective brushing her impractical bangs. This is one of the major problems I have with medicine-themed shows — the female doctors always seem to have perfect, impractical tresses that magically never get covered in blood or interfere with performing intricate, complex medical procedures.

Actually, now that I think about it, female cops (like you mentioned) also have impossibly perfect hair. And makeup. First thing in the morning. ugh.
