At one time, short hair was seen as an outward indicator of lesbian androgyny. Yet, for some lesbians, it could be restricting and limiting. Dyke camp body language includes a crooked smile, swaggering attitude, and prowling movements resembling bat signals. A dyke haircut can be an ideal way to express the qualities that characterize being a feminist, as it’s both versatile and easy to maintain.
The Blue Is The Warmest Color Movie Haircut
Abdellatif Kechiche’s drama about lesbian high school romance has drawn much salacious and critical acclaim due to its explicit depiction of sexual activity between Adele (played by Elle Exarchopoulos) and Emma (Lea Seydoux). But its sexual content alone does not warrant discussion – instead, its framing of female bodies through close observation is what should be debated more. The movie showcases various blue accents, from blue shirts and ties, fingernails, and jewelry, to the iconic blue hair commonly associated with dykes today.
Rani Kawale discovered in 2004 that South Asian lesbians who chose not to cut their long locks were excluded from lesbian spaces for dressing differently from what would be considered typical dyke attire. But the blue bob isn’t automatically associated with female sexuality when considering its history and butch and femme styling. Zara Toppin, co-organizer of Close Shave Salon and founder of Sunbury Studios, explains that there has long been an association between hair styling and butch identity going back as far as Gluck’s paintings in the 1930s and Gertrude Stein’s short mop hairdos.
The Messy Blonde Bob
If your naturally wavy hair texture allows, your stylist can create an adorable, messy bob haircut featuring choppy, disconnected layers to showcase your personality and add some edge to your style. Furthermore, this look makes an incredible fashion statement while remaining practical enough for daily wear; whether worn with or without bangs, it gives a stunning face-framing appearance! This style is great because it suits almost any hair color, from natural-looking balayage highlights to using low lights to soften and add dimension to your paint, making you appear younger. Your hair can also be textured to add height and volume. Just be sure that you do the styling when texturizing it sparingly.
The Side Part Haircut
The classic side part is timeless and always remains fashionable. Perfect for everyday wear or more formal events, the side part pairs well with any facial hair. Style tip: Men with straight or wavy hair will find this look appealing, as it pairs nicely with any haircut – fade, undercut, full beard, or mustache styles alike! A side part is another great style option for men with curly hair. This look can be easily maintained while stylish and sophisticated enough for formal events or business meetings. A pompadour pairs nicely with this hairstyle as well. It is an informal style with loose locks or neatly combed waves, suitable for all ages. A side part style works incredibly well, allowing easy brushing while remaining stylishly chic – ideal for special events and business meetings!
The Bob with Bangs
Add character and individuality to any bob with choppy short bangs that fall to one side for a charming look that accentuates cheekbones and jawline while providing soft feminine qualities to the overall appearance. Choppy, blunt bangs also draw attention to the eyes while concealing signs of aging on foreheads. An effortless, choppy layered bob is easier to style when using texturizing products such as Pravana Detail Shine and Define Wax for light hold, creating that polished appearance. This stylish look works well on heart-, oval-, and round-shaped faces alike! Another lovely bob with bangs style that will look stunning with blue or green eyes is one with pastel blonde highlights and strawberry highlights. This sweet style works wonders in accentuating blue or green eyes for a vibrant look that draws the eyes forward. It’s also great for thin or delicate hair types who could benefit from having layers to help their locks appear thicker!
