Is it my imagi9nation or are women's hair getting shorter?
While i've noticed an increase in men with longer hair i've also
noticed a vsat increase in women going with shorter hair.
And for a number of these women the hair is very short. (Almost a buzz cut.) I've noticed this at various stores in the areas as well as at the gym and elsewhere.
Something to think about when someone tells you look like a girl with your long hair.
I've noticed an increased number these days about that too, women with buzzcuts and everything, the shorter the better are the motto for them.
Also, guys with long hair are getting much more common than it was 10 years ago. I've said long hair, not that topknot or manbun thing they have with sides and the back shaved down to the wood and only the top is a bit longer (medium length), sorta like the old undercuts in the 80's and 90's but the top isn't very long (I guess MG knows about these undercuts more than me, he can explain it better).
I don't care if women is getting shorter and shorter, the only that I didn't approve is a couple of employers denying to hire a guy with long hair and accept a woman with a buzzcut.
Hi Guilherme. Yes you are right these "man bun" or disconnected
hair styles as some of them call it are basically the undercut.
Maybe cut slightly higher but the same as the undercut.
Although back in the good old days with an undercut you would
have a ponytail anywhere from a bare minimum of 6 inches to
waist length or longer.
Depends where you are. San Francisco seems to be going longer on the women's side as well as the men's. Very long hair (past waist) is still uncommon.
I have just been asking my wife this question from a woman's point of view. She doesn't find any social pressure for women after a certain age to have short hair. For her grandmother born in 1906 in a "milieu bourgeois", it was vulgar for a woman to go out "en cheveux" (loose hair). A long-haired woman would tie her hair up and wear a hat.
In our days, the concern is practical, ease of care, and no longer the seductive aspect of courting with long and luxuriant hair. For a woman, hair doesn't seem to be part of her "identity" but rather a device for being in fashion and seductive when dating and courting.
So, it really would be related to marriage and having a job. Most young women and girls have long hair, and women tend to cut shorter from after marriage.
For my wife as for other women, a man with long hair is completely "hors normes", out of the box, call it what you will. A long haired man is odd. I think it's great to be out of the box and living another experience of masculinity somewhere along the (psychological) "androgynous continuum" without being any kind of caricature.
Most polite French people won't say anything, but the long-haired man has to realise that he is marginal and eccentric. I don't like "polite society" and prefer people with fewer inhibitions.
Probably your imagination as only a small percentage tend to get pixie haircuts or shorter. I have no issue with women wanting to try different styles or lengths and some look cute with short bobs or pixie cuts, however I am not to crazy about the fauxhawk or buzzcut on women.
what I would like to see change is the continuation of guys with hardly any hair on their heads getting it shaved near the skin or bald. I would have thought this Marine Corps "look" would have already died out by now.it seems that some of these guys think they need a haircut if they have an inch of hair(at most) on their head. maybe they just like the way the clippers feel on their heads. who knows.
tell them that REAL MEN wear long hair and reference a few historical figures like Samson and that will shut them up!
Maybe they have a haircut fetish?
