I am not a woman, I'm non-binary, please don't give me an arch shape." And then they gave me this high arch. I got my eyebrows done two months ago, and I was like, "Hey, I just want a very sparse cleanup. I've been trying to navigate beauty spaces as a non-binary person, because I think that I'm often perceived as a woman, even if it's more of a masc woman. Any hairstyle can work, regardless of identity, as long as it feels right to you. I think it shows that any hairstyle isn’t just for one gender. I feel like I was always trying to calm my hair down in fear it’ll be too loud, but now I love the conversation my hair brings. Once I stopped perming and using heat tools in my hair, I felt so much liberation. Feeling beautiful makes for many more beautiful days.Ĭurrently, I wear my hair in its natural state. There were a few comments of "when are you going to grow it back" or "this is just temporary right," but besides that, everyone could see how happy I looked and how it just brightened my whole aura. The feeling feels so good.įor the most part, everyone loved my hair. The best part of short hair hands down is just running your fingers all over your scalp. So I kept on cutting it to keep it short. I felt closer to my real self with my shorter hair.
But after having it short, I fell in love with my facial features so much more. At first, it was a way to regain health to my hair. A lot of the time, in my experience, assigned male at birth non-binary people grow their hair out, and assigned female at birth individuals shave their heads.īack in 2016, I decided I wanted to cut my hair off for the first time. One example of a non-binary haircut could be if you're female and you want a haircut traditionally considered male: that automatically takes you out of your assigned binary. Right now, that would be the mullet, which is coming back from the early 2000s, which back then was pulled from the late '70s/early '80s. It's a haircut that you will notice on the street if it is done well. (B Paul is also my partner.)Ī gender non-conforming cut is usually something that's ahead in fashion, something that takes quite a few years to reach the cisgender, hetero world. He was an owner of the hybrid tattoo/hair salon Graceland in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. But he was a stylist in New York for two decades, spending five years working in Dallas before that.
B Paul is currently out of the hair game and fighting cancer.
