Why can't ALL hairstyles, regardless of length or cut, be unisex? Women used to only wear long hair and men only short. Now millions of women wear short hair and most people like women with short hair. Some men wear long hair and some poeple also like that. But there are still a large number of styles that are considered off limits to guys by a majority of people where I live. I live in the south and I am a guy that would love to have my hair cut into a shoulder length bob with bangs. I did have a bob with bangs that came to the bottom of my ears with bangs but due to pressure from friends and family I had it cut. I loved it but everyone said that it was too girlie and feminine. Even my stylist said that she thought it fit my face and everything. Am I just living in the wrong part of the country? Women wear styles thattraditionaly are for guys so why can't guys wear longer prettier styles?
