Some may choose a gender-neutral look to play with the idea of androgyny (aka a blend of traditionally feminine and masculine qualities of appearance), while others simply have a DGAF attitude and want the look they've always dreamed of.Īlexandra Hartt, a barber at Hairrari Barbershop NYC says, "In the past, some gendered haircuts have included tight fades, crops, and pompadours for men. To me, all haircuts are gender-neutral like colors, clothes, etc. "I’m trying to break away from gendering haircuts in any capacity. "Our world, our society has this constant need to label and gender everything so historically everything and every cut has been gendered," says Jessie Brown, a stylist at the queer-owned barber shop and salon BADDIES STUDIO BK. 🗣! The only idea we won't be shaving off today is that hair is an important part of how we express ourselves to the world and affirm our identities. Say it with us - 🗣 any haircut can be gender-neutral, whether it's short, medium, long, curly, wavy, or straight. Ahh, yes - remember the (awful) days when society dictated every choice people made about their fashion and beauty choices, citing BS rules like "short hair is for boys" and "long hair is for girls"? Well, it's time to kick those harmful and oppressive ideas to the curb, 'cause newsflash - hair doesn't have a gender.
