Unsurprisingly, haircuts and hairstyles can be a big deal for lesbians. After all, queer people are well-known for being the most fashionable globally. And that is an undeniable fact! Just look in the mirror.
Hairstyles are not prescriptive to sexual identity of course. Not every lesbian has an undercut and not every gay guy has bleached his hair blonde, but they do appear to form part of the new queer semiotics. The haircut, which grows anywhere between chin and shoulder-length, has, of late, become one of the most identifiable tropes of bisexual culture. In the slipstream of femme and tomboy, the bi bob ironically defies categorisation — reflecting back that same duality of identity which so many bisexuals inhabit.
Haircuts and styles are inherent to the cultural vestiges of queer identity. Following that failed exercise in baby dykedom I happily grew out my disastrous coif for some varying degree of a bob and retired to my lame leggings, sequined skirts, and diaphanous sheaths. Endless tendrils of glistening black hair and a sexy dishabille of serpentine curls seemed to become the femme de rigeur at many a queer establishment. Like a mandala, hair and personal style are their own evolutionary processes that have practically become nucleic to queer aesthetics.
