In "The Gift of the Magi," by O. Henry, why does Jim react the way he does to Della's short haircut?

Jim reacted the way he does to Della's short haircut, because the gift he bought for her (hair combs i believe) required long hair, and because it was one of their most 'treasured', and also the old watch (which Jim had sold to buy the hair comb)

hope this helps
