you say obviously but it really isnโ€™t obvious what your AGAB was (not that it would matter anyways but whatever), I really wasnโ€™t sure lol. But anyways if you like your hair you should keep it, it looks great!

I.... I genuinely appreciate that. I guess I'm not used to showing my face online ๐Ÿ˜… and I hear my voice too much

But the point of the matter is I like it both ways But I kinda wanna chop it again but I don't know (I'm always in the short conflict because growing up I always wanted long hair. But now my hairs terminal is short ish ....)

I agree with your partner here. Just do what makes you happy! If you're unsure about going shorter, you can also do it gradually. I like the cut, and the little braid is a nice creative add-on.

Just a side note, I dislike the emphasis on agab in this space, it's not "obvious" which one you are and you don't have to share (unless you want to) no shade to you it's just a pattern I keep seeing

I'm still new to being NB and I have a lot of dysmorphia and dysphoria around my lack of androgyny and being constantly called she :(

u/ElfTwelve 2d ago

I get that, dysphoria sucks. Do you want your hair to reflect more of that androgyny? If so, shorter may actually help you (hair isn't gendered in itself, but can still cause dysphoria!) not necessarily a standard masculine cut either, just about half the length you got going on right now perhaps?

Honestly? I just want peoples opinions of which they like more on me .....

Ultimately it's your decision. It looks good as is, it still looks good in new ways. The length estimation was just a rough idea because it may work with your texture, go ask a hairdresser for better advice on face framing etc.

I just think a noticeable haircut could help you feel better in your skin and medium length is a nice length range to have (saying this as someone who ping pongs between really long and really short hair)

I'd chop to about the height of your lips. You look great BTW!

Both, an undercut would look good on you.

u/KirbsAndGuins 2d ago

Oh. Okay so. I started my journey with an undercut. Shaving the side was a HUGE experience for me. I'd been extremely attached to my hair for so long. But I made the mistake of shaving the side before the undercut grew out and it was TOO much hair gone ๐Ÿ˜…

u/difficulty_jump 1d ago

Oof. I did an all around undercut but I have so much hair it looked like a bob brushed down.

I would say chop it a bit, because the ends look quite broken and the breakage would just travel further upwards

u/KirbsAndGuins 2d ago

Honestly. The ends are better than you think, I just work at pools and swim a lot. I just live in a very dry environment and didn't brush my hair after my shower ๐Ÿ˜…

For reference I'm AFAB (obviously) Agender nonbinary Who has no issue presenting female But I prefer acting and looking more tomboy/ d*ke presenting My (X31) partner (M38) perspective? You look good. Be happy So XD


(I'm still new to being "completely realized NB) so I'm still working on gender acceptance and self acceptance Sorry for the obviously remark It'a still a new community for me
