    Hey everyone! I want to start making my hair more masculine but I can't get a haircut :tears:. I have a pixie cut and I just wanted to know if there is any way to make this look more masculine? (Besides wearing hats or beanies) Here is a picture that looks pretty much exactly like my hair.

    Try looking at pinterest for men's hair styles; it might help to see some inspiration.

    I'm not an expert, but short of a full-on men's haircut, you can either style it with a less defined part (brushing forward), or you could try combing it back to make it look more masculine. If you brush it forward it'll look more shaggy/bieber-y; if you comb it back it'll look more polished. Mine is short enough that I brush it forward and then blowdry the front up a little + use product to make it piece-y so it's less "bangs".

    i find that a lot of men tend not to part their hair, so maybe you could try to get rid of your part?

    I would use hair gel, and do the whole 'bedhead' look.

    My best advice to you is to do what every cis male I've ever known has done... get out of bed, and don't comb your hair at all, just let it be a mess! What about after you get out of the shower? Mess it up more with your towel, just go nuts with it so your hair goes everywhere! I mean yeah, you can use gels and stuff but they make your hair all hard and icky... Idk! Just my thoughts on it! :slight_smile:

    Try combing it forward, or leaving it more messy and less polished.

    Thanks everybody, I found that the suggestions you all made were very helpful and my hair does not look how it was.
