Gay hairstyles

She’s running an informal queer barbershop out of her off-campus college apartment, with five undercuts under her belt and continually buzzing the hair of the person she’s dating. At that point, it became more than giving her a trim. I also can be a little dysmorphic due to some trauma early in my life and I struggle mentally when I don’t like the way I look.

I did this for most of my young adult life until I was done with undergrad and was really tired of treating my hair.

With everything that has happened since the initial cut, it’s been even more meaningful.

I’m a trans man. I didn’t do that. Not sure what it was about turning 40 that made me just accept myself more. Then when I finally did the thing, I loved how it made me look so much that I mostly stopped thinking about my skin at all.

Ideal on thick or medium-density hair, especially if you want movement without losing length.

My wife cut my hair, which didn’t worry me at all. Plus, a perk of being stuck at the house was that there was zero chance of anyone outside of my immediate family seeing it. I took endless selfies. She did a great job, though, and was very mindful of where the root of my locs began and the short side ended.

I remembered that when I got my masc haircut last year. I feel confident, independent and euphoric with huge, long, punk hair.

Haircuts have gone from an event I barely tolerated to a consistent, routine ritual in my self-care toolkit. I own it. She’d just be stuck with it.

Under normal circumstances, I don’t think I would have found the courage to do it.

My hair has been quite a journey through life! And not only that, but I got vain!
