Gay hairdos
Author | Christiane Nickel | Fashion Editor
Haircuts and styles are inherent to the cultural vestiges of homosexual identity. I remember first coming out with inaugural chopping off of my dirty blond shoulder-length mane, which looked like an early ‘90s mess before this era was ever deemed ironic. That and my newly acquired “dykey” swagger – which looked more like John Wayne with a hemorrhoid than any sort of Shane-inspired swagger &#; I was trying to attain lasted all of two months. Following that failed drill in baby dykedom I happily grew out my disastrous coif for some varying degree of a bob and retired to my lame leggings, sequined skirts, and diaphanous sheaths.
When I moved back from Germany short of a year ago I was confronted with a similar issue only this moment (much to my ignorance) I felt like my hair wasn&#;t long enough. Endless tendrils of glistening black hair and a sexy dishabille of serpentine curls seemed to change into the femme de rigeur at many a gay establishment. My razor slice Garconne-style hair seemed too European (or at least that’s how it was regarded).
These 29 epic queer & lesbian haircuts and female homosexual hairstyles are perfect as inspiration for your next trip to the hairdresser or (queer) barber!
Unsurprisingly, haircuts and hairstyles can be a big deal for lesbians. After all, lgbtq+ people are well-known for being the most fashionable globally. And that is an undeniable fact! Just look in the mirror.
All jokes aside, haircuts and hairstyles can be significant to lesbians. A enormous part of identity verbalization comes from how we present ourselves to the world through clothes, makeup, or&#;—you guessed it&#;—hair.
Since coming out, my hair has undergone many lesbian haircuts and style changes. I’ve had the range from long, feminine lesbian hairstyles to short androgynous looks.
And the best part about being a female homosexual is that everything I do is gay if I want it to be. Pixie cut? Homosexual. Long, feminine waves? Lgbtq+. The slippers I’m wearing while I write this article? Also gay.
Also, all of these haircuts are for all face shapes because regardless of what heteronormative society tells you, every fac
Our lesbian stereotypes survey had, of course, a question about haircuts, as many queers, regardless of gender presentation, include very passionate feelings about their hair. We&#;ll be getting into the stats on that later this week or next, but I was so inspired by how you described your offer, current, and/or future haircuts in the comments section that I couldn&#;t hang around one moment longer to share that with y&#;all. Also please note that a full article on what I have learned is called &#;the fluid bob&#; is in the works.
Find below, ripped mercilessly out of context for your enjoyment, just some of the many ways you described the hair that flows from your scalp into the sweet illuminated of day.

I mean, idk. Obviously TV shows vs reality, because it’s perpetually a popular look for people who can actually braid their own hair/get it done without much fuss, especially in warm weather or people with practical jobs. Whereas in TV shows, women are expected to possess loose pretty hair as much as possible, and that amount of practicality is a excellent way to make a beautiful character sort of soft butch without cutting off an actress’s hair, and it’s saying, unlike all the floofy-haired ladies, I am not available for consumption in the same way… Unlike IRL, in TV Land if you take away loose pullable hair it’s immediately saying this woman is different and not available or strong… Like… obviously it’s nonsense… but in the sort of industry we’re talking about, this is where Olivia Dunham in Fringe pulling advocate her hair into a minor un-sexy ponytail while taking part in SWAT raids was considered somewhat groundbreaking and worth commenting on >.>
(and incidentally the only other character I can reflect of with an Action Ponytail is Sameen Shaw and we know how that went :P)
