I like Eliot's hair.
But then, I've always had a thing for guys with long hair.

I don't know whether Eliot's hair got better or it just grew on me (no pun intended)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
His hair is longer and it seems to have more body.

I'm mostly watching for Parker, Hardison, and Eliot, so I don't really pay attention to the Nate and Sophie scenes as much. I'd love to see a picture of Eliot from his days in the military (I'm assuming—he does seem like someone who did a tour, probably in some sort of Black Ops). Complete with crew cut. Just to get a different visual for comparison.

is he now just sober!Nate?
That could be it. He lost his son, and then he spent all his time staying numb and getting revenge, and now he's bailing on the numb thing and gotten revenge and trying mightily to stay in control of himself (which becomes trying to stay in control of everything, as Sophie points out). I'm willing to buy the character choices, but they are not so fun to watch.
I"m finding Sophie's existential crisis quite touching - she wants someone to love the real her, but the real her is a liar, so can that hypothetical someone be someone who is in on the lie (and only now do I understand some of her attraction to Nate (I am not a fan of that relationship (though I am also not a fan of Sophie pushing Nate to date someone else, what the hell is that?))) or will he have to love whatever she shows him whether it's "real" or not?
I am oddly void of opinions on anyone's hair.

Eliot's hair is definitely longer and has a curl to it that was not there last season.
I love the hair. A lot.
I must say, however, the fight scene in the last episode made me think "Why wouldn't the bad guy just grab that and yank?"

I think that it's because he's the only one of them who can be honest in a relationship (as for work, he can go with "consultant" or "troubleshooter"), and she thinks that honesty is the reason that her relationships don't work out, so if that problem is solved, of course the people will be happy.

That makes sense. Not in an actual making sense way, but that she might think that, yeah.

I think it's the coloring more than the length for me.
