These Gender Neutral Haircuts That Will Give You A Bold, Androgynous Look (2024)

Remember when you were told short haircuts might make you look boyish? It's time to give up that thinking for good. Hair doesn't have to dictate a specific gender, and the gender neutral haircut is in. That's why you've seen celebs like Miley Cyrus, Rihanna, and Zoë Kravitz owning more androgynous styles like pixie cuts, bobs, and even bringing back the mullet.

Though there are a few genderless styles that will let you play around with length, most gender neutral haircuts tend to go shorter, so if you want to opt for one, prepare to chop off a few strands. But, how short you go is entirely up to you and your preferences. "I always advise potential clients to search by the cut, not the gender," says Kristin Bertolini, owner of private salon suite Rebel Roots hair.

Feeling inspired? Here, universally-flattering gender neutral haircut ideas.

This angled pixie will give you a sleek look you can spruce up with a pop of color or hints of highlight.

Think of this haircut as a reverse mullet. Wear it for a look that's sharp and short in the back and shaggy in the front.

Opt for the best of both worlds with this cut that gives you freedom to just let your hair be on one side with an opportunity to buzz it and add some color on the other.

This haircut consists of a fade and undercut that transitions into a cute wavy bob after the hair part. It's ideal for showing off your neck, and ear jewelry too.

Travel back in time a few decades with this haircut that's ideal for a wash n' go (you may have to blow out the bangs, though).

Curly hair will thrive and look extra voluminous with this mullet, no matter what your curl type is.

Keeping a little bit of extra length in the back lets you play with your hairstyles more, like the flipped ends on this model's hair.

Buzzing the sides while adding color and texture to the top will give you a stylishly shagged look.

An asymmetrical pixie can come off as punky or polished, depending on how you style it, but it's super easy to air dry.

If you don't want to commit to short hair, but have loved the mullet look ever since Rihanna made them cool again, here's the perfect gender neutral cut.

A pixie bowl like Charlize Theron's cut screams sophisticated, but edgy. Get one for a truly versatile look.

A buzz cut will give you a bold and confident look. You can dye it your fave color to give it some added dimension.

Taking a razor to your ends after chopping them with scissors will give you a more texturized and fuller look.

A traditional pixie cut is easy to wear and style. It pulls the focus to your face, so it'll play up your best features.

The wolf cut—a tapered hairstyle with short and choppy layers—is one of the biggest trends in hair right now, says hairstylist Dawna Jarvis, noting its popularity is largely due to how universally flattering it is—no matter your face shape.

This remix on a traditional mullet takes bangs to the next level by wrapping them around your face and profile.

If you want a shorter, no-fuss cut, this bedhead bob is about to become your new look.

Playing with the ends of your bob can give your hair a layered look that makes it instantly appear fuller.

An undercut is ideal for reducing styling time if you have thick hair that's a little harder to manage.

A cut like this elongates the neck and calls attention to the face, which is perfect for makeup and jewelry lovers.
