A common queer experience is getting the first cut that really feels like you. Whether that’s a big chop, growing it out long with layers, or styling it in a way that feels more authentic, getting a look that brings you happiness can go a long way in elevating your confidence.
Queer people especially love to find haircuts that feel affirming to their identity. That’s not to say everyone gets it right on their first try.
I know my first “queer haircut” is one I don’t like looking back on (can you say Justin Bieber circa 2009), but it was all part of the process!
Haircuts are an important part of someone’s expression. Many people use their hair to bring out pieces of their personality and appearance that they want to highlight.
