#1: Cute Androgynous Haircut with Bangs for Oval Faces
With a style playing with gender fluidity, oval faces are sure to look good in it. That’s why you can explore your heart’s content like this side-swept tapered cut, which can make you look so fresh and cut at the same time.
#2: Bowl Undercut with Piece-y Bangs
Thick-haired pixie cuts look as good as an undercut. This type of cut creates solid dimension and contrast. Adding texture gives a piece-y look. It prevents the hair from appearing bulky but instead provides a fine, tailored, unisex crop.
#3: Buzz Haircut with Shaved Lines
Gender neutral styles can blend the essence of feminine and masculine energy. This makes it a haircut suitable for anyone. The buzz cut suits individuals with round faces, and lines cut into the sides add feminine aspects.
#4 Feathered Bowl with Bangs
A modern twist on the retro bowl cut, this feathered version uses soft layers and textured ends to avoid looking too harsh. The wispy bangs are left uneven for a relaxed feel, while the crown and sides are gently tousled to add volume and depth. Ideal for straight to slightly wavy hair types, this cut balances masculine structure with feminine lightness. It works well on square or heart-shaped faces, though it may emphasize wide foreheads if not adjusted. A dab of styling paste keeps the shape in check without overdoing it.
#5 Short Shag Revival
Flirty but non-binary, this short shag revival blends soft volume with textured ends for a relaxed, unpolished finish. Curtain bangs open the face, while cheekbone-grazing layers keep the shape light and full of movement. Great for medium-density, naturally wavy hair, it’s especially flattering on oval or diamond face shapes. This is the kind of cut that doesn’t try too hard—perfect for those embracing a casual androgynous style. It might get bulky on super thick hair without proper thinning.
#6 Andro-Pixie Sweep
This airy andro-pixie sweep offers versatility for anyone wanting a short yet soft cut. The top has longer layers styled with a natural side-sweep, while the back is neatly tapered for a balanced silhouette. Works beautifully on fine to medium hair textures, especially if you want movement without bulk. The sideburns are left slightly longer, adding a gender-neutral elegance that flatters square and oval faces. It’s easy to style with a touch of mousse, but it grows out gracefully if you skip salon visits.
#7 Mini Mullet Edge
Edgy yet wearable, this mini mullet adds a playful grit to the androgynous trend. Short layers around the crown build volume while razored pieces near the nape and temples bring softness and movement. Great for naturally wavy hair with medium density, it suits narrow or angular face shapes, especially when paired with minimal makeup. The disconnected lengths frame the jaw and ears nicely, giving you a cool, DIY feel without sacrificing shape or intent. Not for the super low-maintenance—this one thrives with light styling.
#8 Cropped Caesar Revival
Classic meets contemporary in this cropped Caesar revival, where choppy, uneven bangs soften the brow while hugging the forehead. Perfect for fine to medium straight hair, this look brings subtle structure without going full masculine or feminine—ideal for those exploring non-binary styles. The crown is slightly rounded to maintain softness, which works well for oval and heart-shaped faces. This cut keeps things polished without requiring daily styling—just a little texture cream goes a long way.
#9 Textured French Crop Fade
Bold and architectural, this textured French crop fade features a clean high fade with blunt micro bangs and tousled crown layers. Best for thick, straight hair, the sharply shaved sides give a strong androgynous edge, making it low-maintenance but high-impact. While this style flatters oval or longer face shapes, it may feel severe on softer or rounder ones. The dense, dark hair adds dramatic contrast, and the disconnected undercut really sharpens the overall silhouette.
#10 Buzzed Fade with Textured Top
Close-cropped sides with a sharp fade contrast beautifully against the naturally coiled textured top, creating a balanced androgynous look. This cut works well for thick, curly hair and is especially flattering on oval and heart-shaped faces. It’s low-maintenance and edgy, but note that curls will require moisturizing products to keep their shape. The clean edges give it a modern feel without leaning too masculine or feminine.
#11 Disconnected Undercut Bob
With a disconnected undercut and longer, tousled top layers, this bob bridges masculine structure with feminine softness. Great for thick, wavy hair, the shaved side emphasizes bone structure and brings movement to the top. The style is bold but versatile—easy to slick back or wear textured. It works best on square and oval faces. You’ll need a styling product to maintain volume, especially if your hair tends to fall flat.
#12 Short Side-Parted Bowl Cut
A modern update to the bowl cut, this style features a soft side part with clean, rounded lines and straight blunt bangs. It suits fine, straight hair and works well on petite face shapes, especially oval or heart. The shape adds volume where needed, but it can fall flat without a bit of root lift. The cut’s simplicity leans androgynous while still feeling polished and wearable for any gender expression.
#13 Mini Afro Pixie with Edge-Up
Tightly coiled and cropped close, this mini afro pixie is elevated with a clean edge-up that defines the face beautifully. Ideal for natural hair textures, it celebrates curl pattern while keeping the shape neat and fresh. It’s a wash-and-go option that flatters round and heart-shaped faces. The edge-up adds that bold, androgynous finish, but regular line-ups are needed to maintain that crisp look. Great choice for anyone embracing natural texture.
#14 Straight French Crop with Shaved Nape
This French crop features a blunt fringe and a closely shaved nape for high contrast. Best for straight, fine to medium-density hair, the structured top adds sharpness while the undercut keeps it lightweight. It’s a bold and clean style that suits square and heart-shaped faces. This one leans more structured, so it’s great for someone who wants precision in their haircut. The downside? You’ll need frequent trims to keep that nape crisp.
#15 Modern Mullet with Feathered Layers
A feathered mullet like this one combines retro texture with a gender-neutral edge. Shorter in front and longer in back, it works great for medium-density, straight-to-wavy hair. The wispy fringe softens the overall structure, while layers give volume without bulk. Perfect for those wanting a rebellious, low-maintenance cut that plays with shape. It’s flattering on oval and longer face shapes, but requires commitment to grow out.
#16 Flicked Short Bob with Tapered Neckline
Choppy layers and flicked ends give this short bob a relaxed, androgynous twist. The neckline is tapered clean for easy maintenance, while the mid-density, straight-to-wavy hair adds enough movement. It’s flattering on most face shapes but especially complements those with strong jawlines. Styling is flexible—tuck it behind the ear for a sleeker look or rough it up with texture spray. Might require heat styling to keep the ends flared out.
#17 Blunt Short Crop with Side Bangs
The sharp lines of the blunt cut combined with soft side bangs strike a clean, minimalist balance. Perfect for straight, fine to medium-density hair, this crop gives structure without looking severe. The subtle taper around the nape keeps the shape neat, while the fringe softens the overall look. Best suited for longer face shapes. It’s an excellent gender-neutral option that doesn’t rely on texture or volume.
#18 Short Tousled Waves with Temple Fade
Soft tousled waves up top with a sharp temple fade give this style a casual but clean finish. Ideal for wavy hair with medium to high density, it keeps bulk under control while adding movement on top. Great for round or oval faces, it has just enough edge for a non-binary or androgynous look without being too severe. The faded sides require upkeep, but the natural texture up top makes styling quick and easy.
#19 Choppy Crop with Shaved Sides
Layered and choppy on top with shaved sides, this short crop gives off a punky, non-binary edge. Best for straight to wavy hair with medium density, it’s an easy wash-and-go option with great texture. The disconnected undercut creates sharp contrast and definition. It flatters smaller or angular face shapes but may require regular shaping to maintain the bold silhouette. The razored fringe adds a casual, effortless finish.
#20: Curly Top with Short Sides
A curly crop is an excellent style for individuals with a narrow temple and wider jawline. The fullness in the crown achieves balance. A close and tight cut on the side offers a unique style. Both perm and natural curls work well with this style.
#21: Sleek Mullet with Full Bangs
Consider a sleek mullet that frames the eyes with bangs and layers that flow down the temples. For a flipping nape, I suggest adding texture to create a soft, flipping shape. This style combines a pixie cut, a mullet, and a ‘jellyfish’ cut. The style is great for thick hair and suits a high hipster look.
#22: Short Layered Hair with Flicked Ends
Ready to chop the hair off and go for a non-binary style? Try a layered wolf-like cut. You can create a versatile style that suits anyone by using flipped layers around the eyes and a long nape. Use shears or razors to add extra texture or naturally enhance flips and texture in the hair.
#23: Low-Maintenance Feminine Buzz Cut
Buzz cuts seem to be at least somewhat popular this year for some reason. This cut is about a #2, a bit shorter on top and lightly faded on the sides and back. A low-maintenance cut is something every woman should try at least once. I’d say that even if you feel comfortable with yourself, there is always that little bit of self-consciousness afterward, but it goes away fairly quickly.
#24: Perfect Cut for Thin Hair
Short trims on a tapered cut make a perfect canvas for layers on thin hair. Throw in a ruffled styling, and you still get a versatile cut that goes for both business and play. A fun tomboy-inspired haircut that has faded sides and back gives an androgynous vibe, while the forward bang on top leaves some feminine aspects to the style. The amount of texture you can see throughout the top is astounding.
#25: The Long Androgynous Cut
Long layered sides keep the texture intact, while the mohawk-like tops add fluidity for a sharp, gorgeous package. Haircut ideas like this work best on straight or wavy tresses. A dark hair color won’t hurt the outcome, for sure.
#26: Short Androgynous Cut, Flattering for Square Faces
Creating textured waves at the front and shorter lengths on each side of the head form a more boyish, rounded visual for your look. It’s not ideal for any face shape. For example, it’s not for a heart-shaped face, as it doesn’t give any volume around the chin area. It’s also not suited to a rectangular face shape, as this style will give even more height to the head. The lady has thick and straight hair, so I suggested blow-drying with a small round brush or a flat brush with volume mousse from Label.M.
#27: Short Mullet with an Undercut
Androgynous hairstyles are enjoyable to experiment with. If you’re interested in trying this type of hairstyle, I suggest considering a short style known as a mullet that includes an undercut. This non-binary hairstyle allows enough length on top to style while providing a bold, masculine look through the undercut beneath. It really is the best of both worlds!
#28: Drop Fade with a V-Point Fringe
The androgynous drop fade with a v-point fringe is a trendy haircut blending masculine and feminine traits. Consider the androgynous drop fade because of its sleek, clean look and edgy v-point fringe. The drop fade creates a sharp contrast between the top’s longer hair and the sides’ shorter hair. It’s a versatile option for those wanting to try different hairstyles. The androgynous drop fade is ideal for those with medium to thick hair. It can be tailored to fit different face shapes.
#29: Short and Edgy with Bangs
Try going short and edgy with bangs. This cut is super easy to style day to day, which is especially beneficial if you have a busy lifestyle. Keep in mind, however, that this look will require more frequent visits to the salon to keep this cut sharp.
#30: Tomboy Quiff Hairstyle
Try a tomboy quiff hairstyle if you want an edgier look. Don’t be afraid to have this style if that’s what you’re craving! If you don’t like using gel, opt for a lighter hairspray to hold your style.
#31: Cool Mohawk with Shaved Sides
For edgy androgynous haircuts, nothing beats a cool mullet mohawk with shaved sides. To achieve this look best, your hairstylist will use specialized razor cutting techniques. It will give you a soft texture for the top section of hair. And it will create precise lines along the sideburns fading into shaved skin. This style is perfect if you’re seeking an eye-catching yet subtle way to express yourself. It’s low-maintenance but can still make a bold fashion impact. Make sure to invest in quality styling products. They provide great hold without leaving any residue on your locks so that you can wash out easily. Avoid products that are heavy in petroleum if you like products to wash out easy.
#32: Feminine Dark Brown Pixie with Side-Swept Bangs
Go for a bold statement with a feminine, dark brown pixie with side-swept bangs. A pixie is versatile and can be customized to many different face shapes. A pixie is easily styled in seconds with some shaping wax for a messy feel. Side-swept textured bangs conceal forehead wrinkles and accentuate your eyes, giving a soft feminine touch.
#33: Chic Dark Brown Wavy Hair
Transitioning to a short cut can be customized for edgy tomboys or bossy chicks. Your best bet is to find a hair artist that specializes in these styles for predictable results. You can color this style a vibrant or dark brown base and add some waves for texture as a touch-up or for a lived-in vibe.
#34: Women’s Pompadour Haircut for Thick Hair
Show off those eye-catching platinum locks with a longer pompadour androgynous hair. Gender norms have changed over time, and shorter cuts aren’t for the guys only. Leave the middle part longer and brush it upwards to make a pouf for added volume.
#35: Bold Quiff for Women
A quiff for women is the perfect edgy look to bring out your inner rockstar. This cut compliments anyone looking to elongate their face shape. But beware this shorter style requires a maintenance appointment every 3-4 weeks.
#36: Genderfluid Androgynous Haircut
Get edgy with a genderfluid androgynous haircut! Shaved in an undercut up past the occipital bone, the medium pixie falls intentionally to the side, creating a clean-cut style. Great for most hair types, as thick hair can be thinned out and fine hair tends to look fuller when short. Add a bright pop of color, even temporarily to really turn heads.
#37: The Androgynous Shaved Cut
The ultimate manly-lady look is having the undercut bangs over the face. The magenta-purple color adds more dynamics that make a very stunning finish.
#38: Cute Bowl Cut with Shaved Sides for Round Faces
With a modern bowl cut, keeping everything short and layered gives off that cute but punk vibe that you can still work with every day. Shaved sides and back highlight the texture of this cut even better, making it more flattering for round faces.
#39: Androgynous Silver Undercut
Pull off a high fade and mohawk haircut with a modern color like platinum. The puff adds all the volume and glam finish that the style needs. This sure proves that long hair is fun but a short hairstyle can be way cooler!
#40: Faded Haircut with Textured Waves
Begin with a faded haircut offering textured waves. A versatile, gender-neutral haircut can suit any individual, making it an attractive style. Try a high and tight faded haircut with a cropped short style. It looks especially appealing with a curly top, whether natural or permed. This short haircut can give your style more dimension and ease.
#41: Mullet with Short Bangs on Curly Hair
The androgynous mullet with bangs makes a very distinguished comeback in this very look. Curls and waves make it a flowy style while the blunt edges add the manly straightforward look. Opt for an easy but cool-looking cut for curly hair that doesn’t need much maintenance. For ladies looking for a look similar to a curly hair mullet with baby bangs, it’s important to know that this is her natural texture.
#42: The Androgynous Pixie Cut
Opt for a disconnected pixie cut with a tight scissor over comb work around the back sides and edges. The top is left disconnected and cut short in the back to long in the front. My favorite parts are the subtle detailing like an asymmetric fringe, loose texturizing in the crown, and the tiny tail in the back that add to the playfulness. The soft creative details verge on androgyny but keep it just feminine enough.
#43: Stylish Androgynous Mohawk
A mohawk is an androgynous long pixie-inspired cut. This chop is easier to achieve if you have a longer hair length, like bobs. However, mohawks may depend on your face shape, hair texture, and personality. Are you ready for a fun, edgy, classy, free look? Do you want more freedom to style your hair in many ways? Are you ready to be committed to a stylist and maintain your look every 4-6 weeks? If so, opt for this cut.
#44: Masculine Cut with Messy Texture
There have been a ton of renditions of “lady fades” or short women’s hair with ‘faded’ or ‘tapered’ edges, but this androgynous look on wavy hair just takes the edges down to zero, meaning shaved without a guard! The top is cut to have a lot of movement, but everything connects. There’s no “disconnection” on top, so it’s not exactly an undercut!
#45: Super Short Androgynous Pixie
Show your personality off with a super short androgynous pixie. A bold short style will show the world you embrace yourself. The texture of your hair doesn’t really matter if you cut it super short. Even fine hair will appear thick at such short lengths. The bangs are cut off, so keep in mind this style flatters smaller facial features.
#46 Choppy Wolfcut Hair Short Style
Choppy and full of movement, this short wolfcut blends razored layering with ultra-short micro bangs for a strong tomboy edge. Best for straight to slightly wavy hair with medium density, it works great on oval and heart-shaped faces. The texture adds natural volume while the cropped back keeps it low-maintenance. Downside? The fringe grows out quickly and needs regular upkeep to keep that sharp line.
#47 90s Pixie Cut with Choppy Texture
Choppy and playfully disheveled, this 90s-inspired pixie cut adds volume up top with jagged layers and feathered ends. The silvery-gray color lends a modern twist, while the soft taper at the nape keeps it wearable for all genders. Great for medium-density hair with natural wave or body, especially on round or heart-shaped faces. Downside? Needs some styling to maintain that piece-y, lived-in look.
#48: Layered Shoulder-Length Cut with Soft Waves
This layered shoulder-length cut features soft waves and natural texture, perfect for medium to thick hair. The face-framing layers create a flattering silhouette, enhancing the hair’s natural beauty. This style is versatile and easy to maintain. The key detail is the seamless layering, which provides a natural flow and dynamic movement to the hair.
#49: Spiky Textured Mullet with Warm Highlights
This spiky textured mullet features choppy layers and warm highlights, perfect for those with fine to medium hair seeking an edgy look. The cut combines short, spiked top layers with longer, feathered ends at the back, creating a dynamic and modern style. Ideal for oval and heart-shaped faces, the warm highlights add depth and dimension, enhancing the overall texture. This haircut is relatively low-maintenance and perfect for making a bold statement while keeping a playful edge.
#50: Sleek Asymmetrical Pixie Cut
This sleek, asymmetrical pixie cut is perfect for those with fine to medium-density hair. The longer top layers add volume and movement, while the shorter sides keep the style edgy and modern. The silver-gray color suits any age.
