HAIRCUT: The Right Style Makes A Difference

Last Updated: 03/18/2008

For haircuts ... word to the wise: be realistic. Keep in mind what looks great on Brad Pitt might not work with your face and/or isn't possible with your type of hair. I went the celebrity haircut route and browsed pictures online, but eventually gave up on trying to model myself like someone else. I went to a Beverly Hills stylist for my first male haircut because I wanted the first cut to be the best or I'd be hair traumatized, heh. Your local supercuts or barber shop is fine as well.

Bye bye bangs.

I got rid of my bangs since they're known to be feminizing, but I made them short enough so that they'd come forward. Also remember that sideburns can give away your gender, females tend to have the ends of the sideburns fade downwards. Guys tend to have the ends of their sideburns shaved straight across.

Hello world.

I told the haircut man that I was in a major theater production that required me to play the role of a male, therefore, I needed a very convincing haircut. He bought the explanation without question and gave me a cool haircut. Don't be embarrassed to tell the man or woman how you want your haircut, if you let them take over and mangle your hair, you'll regret not saying anything and be bitter as hell. Furthermore, if you're slightly embarrassed, just remember that there are millions of other places to get haircuts and that you don't ever need to see this person again if you don't want to.
