But what if that was intentional, as in, that’s the perfect length of hair for Bucky at this specific time?

Sure, he had his hair short in the 40s, that’s expected, no explanation there, just that he hadn’t had all this trauma yet.

During his Winter Soldier days, he had it long, perhaps because he was unconsciously shouldering all this baggage forced upon him by HYDRA, and his hair was shaggy and messy like his life- or what counted as a life- was at that point in time.

During CACW, of course he had it long still, because he was vulnerable to being under the influence of the trigger words, so he still carried that emotional baggage with him.

He gets dropped off in Wakanda, undergoes treatment and rehab to clear him of his triggers, and receives a new arm, and yet his hair is long in A:IW and A:E because he’d just crested a hill, it’s not going to be easy moving forward.

TFATWS sees him with short hair; it’s not known why he chose to get a haircut, but it signifies that he’s in a better place, emotionally and physically, and wants to turn over a new leaf and live as normal a life as he can. Short hair means new beginnings.

In CABNW, we see that Bucky has grown his hair out. Keep in mind that 4 years has passed between TFATWS and CABNW, so literally anything could have happened. In my personal opinion, it would be a bit difficult for me to take seriously Bucky as a politician with short hair, as the length of hair he is shown with in CABNW perhaps showcases that he has the ability and the drive to do what’s right, tells us of his seniority (pardon the pun) in society, so his hairstyle makes sense.

In Thunderbolts, I’m assuming this is several months later, his hair is grown out again, but longer, as you’ve pointed out. But like I said, what if it’s meant to be that way, because he’s learning to accept that he can be both James Bucky Barnes in person and the Winter Soldier in skill? What if his hair is that length because he’s struggling to reconcile that part of him, that it’s a personal battle within himself? What if he no longer wants to be scared that “a part of the Winter Soldier’s still” in him (as he tells Sam in TFATWS), and to fully accept that he can’t run from his past anymore than what he was forced to be? That what if, when he fully accepts and reconciles both identities — that Bucky and the Winter Soldier are ONE — that he can finally be at peace, and subsequently go by the moniker White Wolf that the Wakandans gave him?
