The idea of “androgynous haircuts” may sound like a contradiction in terms. After all, aren’t haircuts supposed to make you look more feminine or masculine? But the truth is that this hair trend has been around for a while and it’s only just now getting popular.
Androgynous hairstyles are perfect if you’re looking for something versatile—something that can be worn up or down, styled into waves or curls, parted on either side, etc. Here are some of our favorite examples of androgynous haircuts from celebrities who have embraced their inner androgyny!

Undercut
An undercut is a perfect example of androgynous haircuts. It is a hairstyle that features shaved sections of hair under the rest of your hair. When you pull your hair up into a ponytail, you can see the shaved underneath- but when let down with just some waves from curling iron or flatiron set in place, it looks like any other haircut!

Bowl Cut
