For the past few years I’ve been keeping my hair short but recently I decided to start growing it out. I haven’t had actually long hair in years and I completely forgot how much of a pain in the ass growing your hair out is, especially when it’s just long enough to get in your way but not long enough to do anything with. All of this isn’t even getting into the dysphoria aspect. I just want to have an androgynous hairstyle that’s long but I really don’t know what to aim for and how to avoid it being too fem/too masc. Does anyone have any tips? Any suggestions for what to tell/show to my friend who’s a stylist and cuts my hair? My hair is very straight and kind of a mullet currently. Just at my eyes in the front and down to the base of my neck in the back, the sides go a little past my jaw. I also have an undercut. My goal is to be androgynous and at least try to avoid the constant misgendering I get from trans and cis people alike.

    i had a pixie cut in different lengths for a long time, when i was younger. i loved it. you can start cultivating it from short hair. especially its a good starting point for growing out fully: your front hair are longer. you can put them behind your ears, later in a bun. plus it look super cute. :))) (– all the way. from super short to the point where your fronthair touch your claviculae.)

    still there will be that intetmediate phase, where your front hair do whatever.

      I previously had a pretty short haircut with the sides and back shaved and have been growing it out from that. I don’t mind buns but I honestly don’t really enjoy putting my hair behind my ears. I want to keep my front hair relatively short, kind of like a mullet and very much not like super noticeable bangs, but beyond that I don’t know
