Convinced that an effective leader ruled by example, Hux felt that Ren's long hair was an "indignant assault" on his office as Supreme Leader. Hux's disapproval was such that he came to see it as a reminder of everything that he hated about Ren whom he saw lacking in discipline and military bearing. Hux vowed that if he replaced Ren as Supreme Leader, his first act would be to force his predecessor to "cut off his hair."Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: Expanded Edition
