These are short but sensual, neat, but often asymmetrical. Whether she’s 21, 41, or 71, the cut is for the woman who seeks not only attention but respect. It’s not for the timid. It’s for the brave.
Before the 1920s, no woman was considered beautiful, feminine, and desirable unless she had long hair, often in flowing waves or ringlets, even as far down to her feet.
The suffrage movement, World War 1, and women’s increased desire for the freedoms that life can bring changed the hair standard for women. With the encouragement of brave celebrities such as the dancer Irene Castle, short hair became a thing.
Today, women enjoy all sorts of freedoms, including the freedom to wear their hair any way they want. We see the Garcon enjoyed by celebrities such as Natalie Portman, Victoria Beckham, Jennifer Lawrence, Rihanna, and Anne Hathaway.
How do you achieve it? External graduation or “strand by strand” is the technique. One of the primary factors that set the Garcon apart of your typical short cut is that the front, back, and sides may vary dramatically in length.
Whatever the case, the strands at the top of the head are voluminous. The hair at the nape of the neck sits close and is even sometimes buzzed.
Is the look right for everyone? No. Women with naturally tight curls should avoid it. So should women with short full necks. Not into hair appointments? Garcon requires maintenance by a professional. It’s easy to maintain, but it’s not lazy.
So are you ready to go Garcon? If so, you’ll fall in love with these cutting-edge examples!
