While all of it makes little sense in movies, short hair doesn't. Reason why military cuts hair short is so your hair doesn't get tangled in trees, bushes or fences, compromising you. It's really of practical nature. But given how many cockups they make elsewhere in movies, I don't think they were going for that kind of realism.
The Expanse has the justification of it meaning that they don't have to deal with representing long hair in microgravity situations, but they still have variety like Camina Drummer's ultra-tight braids and Naomi's curls which solve the problem without everyone having a crew cut
Man, Cara Gee, the actress that plays Drummer is just so stunning. Aside from her being so much my type, I enjoyed her portrayal of the character. Very commanding on screen presence.
I absolutely love basically every scene she's in. Especially with how much she committed to the Belter accent
She's the definition of perfect casting. I also liked how they just kept extending her role because Cara Gee is so good. Drummer's role in the books is much smaller
Same. Swoooooon much.

In universe, short hair also makes sense in zero gravity. James S A Corey are just on another level when it comes to such details both in the show and in the books. They actually talk about female hygiene products in The Mercy of Gods.
