Vibrant Colors, Buzzcuts, & Freedom: This Is Non-Binary Hair In All Its Glory

For non-binary people, ever-changing hairstyles and hair color can be useful tools to allow us to express what's innately inside.

I spoke with seven non-binary people about their ever-changing hair. Something that rang true across all the people beautifully photographed was how frequently they make drastic changes to their hair. Styles, colors, and cuts move with mood and emotion, body and gender. 

"When it comes down to it, I don’t think hair is superficial," Leni Zachariou, pictured, told me as we chatted about our hairstyles. "The way we look is the way in which we express our identity. I am aware that the things you can control are things that can put you in danger but they can also make you feel safe. It’s a balancing act." Visibility is a tricky thing to handle, but as Leni said, while the world might look at you a little more, taking control of your hair can be a powerful way to show people that you prioritize understanding yourself over the misunderstanding of others.

Today's outfit of the day is for sunshine and spring.🌻

Dungarees are from New Look, yellow tshirt from a charity shop, and flower headband that used to belong to my sister.

Fun fact, this outfit is very similar to a look I put together to model for a friend's photography project centred on the Hogwarts houses. I am a proud Hufflepuff :)

This is a non-binding outfit.

Have a sparkling day! 🌠

Today’s outfit of the day is a lil bit punk, a lil bit flowery, & a big bit not weather appropriate so I froze my butt off out there.

Dress is from New Look but also is probably like 10 years old now, a hand-me-down from my sister. Jacket is the same as always, Levi’s with handmade patches. Black tights are black tights, they can be found at most places which sell tights.

Due to my poor camera placement you’ve never seen my shoes before, but they’re always the same regardless of outfit. They’re plain black Dr Martins with hand-painted flowers on the sides if you were curious though.

This is a non-binding outfit.

Have an absolutely lovely day <3

I really need some advice and/or positivity from other curvy/chubby/plus size non-binary folks who are AFAB and have a more masc-influenced style.

I'm struggling with clothes. I have always been soft, but I am now firmly a small fat person, and I'm starting to struggle with self-esteem in my masc-of-center clothing. I'm feeling so much pressure to dressing more femme (even if I don't want to!) because that's the only way that female-coded bodies can be allowed to be fat and exist. I don't want to feel this way, but it's hard not to after years of societal conditioning.

I like style, and I also worry about being taken seriously as a transmasc non-binary person if I don't look more androgynous. I also love masc style! While I'll dabble in femme stuff even now, I prefer to bind, and dress more masculine or androgynous in general. So it's two-fold: if I do dress femme and feel better about the way my body looks and feel more put together, I feel like a fraud in my identity, but if I dress masc I feel like I'm not living up to the non-binary ideal.

I know that's a lie! Fat people look amazing in everything, and fat people can have any kind of style, and curvy non-binary and androgynous folks exist. I just somehow feel like this doesn't apply to me, and I hate it.
