Della's actions of cutting her hair to buy Jim a gift reveals that she is very passionate about this relationship and shows her traits as generous and thoughtful; However it may show her conflicts as an overthinker as she is making a potentially big sacrifice which shows how much she cares about the character Jim and may try to please him at her own cost.

Hope this helped :)
