What else could it be? To me, given how it’s a persistent haircut that she wants to maintain, it may as well be comparable to cutting the front 1mm of one’s nose off. That would make one less attractive to probably a lot of people, with no other/further factor involved.
But the opposite of long hair isn’t a buzz cut; there are many other styles. Hopefully they can find some kind of happy medium.
