There was a time when "gay hair" was the lowest watermark of style. That Flock of Seagulls flounce and the peroxided Jimmy Somerville flattop were au courant for the '80s underground -- but for the rest of us, they were an embarrassing walk down the boulevard of broken haircuts. But guess what, boys? In a retro-revivalist society where nostalgia means obsessing over the decades
just passed, it's all coming back. Check out right now's trendy gay haircuts, with some timeless staples thrown in for good measure!
1. The CaesarWhile many boys think this Roman style is a surefire winner, the short-short fringe can leave one looking like an extra from "Mars Attacks." To pull this off, you need a perfectly proportioned forehead and that Greco-Roman facial structure many long for. Plus, your head can't be shaped like a sideways egg. Proceed with caution.
2. The "I'm gay and here to stay" cutThis style encompasses a wide range of shags -- anything goes, as long as you're out and visible. From cyber-inspired silver spikes to the old faithful bleached-blond tips, these hairstyles can usually be found on boys in the 18-to-22-year-old bracket. Fashion accoutrements include studded dog collars, moon boots and Hello Kitty backpacks. If you're any older than the aforementioned age range, you need to take a long, hard look at your hair, preferably with scissors in hand.
3. The gay shagWhat differentiates this look from the straight shag is that the straight boys woke up and left the house immediately. The gay ones spent 20 minutes in front of the bathroom mirror. Nevertheless, a shag is a shag, though if you have to go through half a tub of Bumble and bumble to achieve the right results, so be it. Very popular among the Britpop crowd, this style tends to be spotted in mixed circles and often goes with retro wrestling sneakers and drinking in dive bars. For a truly faithful tribute to the original, hearken back to a '70s handlebar mustache.
4. The fauxhawkAren't these words enough? While the straights appropriated the mullet from the Midwesterners, gay boys grabbed a pared-back Mohawk. The most popular gay haircut in 10 years can be sighted in every corner of the queer globe.
5. The buzz cutSported by bears, leathermen and regular gay boys alike, this generic-yet-sexy look is the mainstay queer hairstyle. Perfect for boys with olive skin, strong jaws and dark, brooding eyes, there's nothing like those bristles rubbing right where it tickles!
