If you’ve ever felt boxed in by gendered hair trends, you’re not alone. Hair is personal. Hair is expression. And guess what? Hair should never be stuck in a binary.
So let’s get to the root (yes, I went there). This blog’s your ultimate guide to non binary haircuts styles that break the mold and lean into whatever you want to be. Whether you’re chasing a textured pixie, flirting with a modern mullet, or just trying to stop your hair from looking like a sad lettuce, I’ve got you.
I’ve spent years writing blog content that ranks, converts, and doesn’t sound like it was written by a toaster. I also happen to love switching up my own hair—and trust me, I’ve tried half the styles on this list.
You’ll find 20 hairstyle ideas below, from soft fades to bold chops, all tailored to suit every face shape, texture, and identity. These aren’t just buzzwords (though there is a buzz cut coming).
They’re real, expressive, low-pressure styles that help you feel like you. And if you’re thinking, “Can I actually pull this off?”—spoiler: yes, yes you can.
1. Textured Pixie Crop
This one’s been my go-to at least twice. The textured pixie crop is edgy without trying too hard.
It works especially well if you have thick or wavy hair that needs a bit of shape without too much fuss.
I usually let mine air-dry with a little matte pomade it gives that “I woke up like this” vibe, minus the bedhead.
Check out our guide on Pixie Cuts for All Face Shapes—it covers texture, shape, and styling variations that align perfectly with what I do when I air-dry with matte pomade.
2. Undercut Shag Cut
Imagine ‘70s rockstar meets 2025 cool. The undercut shag cut keeps the party on top while trimming the sides for ease.
I recommend it for anyone who loves movement in their hair but doesn’t want to spend hours styling.
Just a diffuser and some sea salt spray, and you’re golden.
Our deep dive into the Modern Mullet really mirrors this vibe—longer on top, trimmed sides—exactly the energy I tap into.
3. Asymmetrical Bob
I rocked this look during my “I’m starting a podcast” era.
The asymmetrical bob screams confidence and works great if you want a non binary haircut that balances softness and edge.
It flatters most face shapes, especially if you tuck one side behind the ear for drama. Bonus: looks amazing with bold earrings.
If you love the boldness of asymmetry, our Choppy Bob Haircuts article explores similar edge-and-soft contrasts that make this style shine.
4. Tapered Mullet
Don’t knock it ‘til you try it—seriously. The tapered mullet is back with a vengeance and honestly, it slaps.
It’s perfect for folks who want length in the back without the full commitment to Billy Ray Cyrus territory.
I keep the top tousled and the back a bit wavy—it gives me instant cool points.
5. Curly Crop with Fade
This one is a curly-haired dream. I’ve got 3B curls, and the crop with a fade keeps everything shaped without going full lion’s mane.
It’s great for hot weather and looks clean without losing volume up top.
Ask your barber to blend the fade into the sides—trust me, it makes all the difference.
6. Choppy Layered Bob
When I got tired of structure and needed movement, I went for the choppy layered bob.
It’s carefree, full of texture, and totally adaptable. It works best on straight to wavy hair and makes your head feel lighter (in the literal and spiritual sense).
When I craved texture, I went with a choppy layered bob. Our Messy Bob Hairstyles post highlights how layered and carefree cuts like this grow out beautifully—totally the vibe I want you to get.
7. Side-Shaved Pixie
This is for the bold—and I loved it. The side-shaved pixie brings instant edge to any look.
It’s a low-maintenance powerhouse and makes your cheekbones pop.
I kept the top longer for versatility and played with parting to switch up my vibe.
8. Modern Bowl Cut
I know what you’re thinking… but hear me out. The modern bowl cut is sharp, sleek, and nowhere near the DIY childhood nightmare.
I wore it with an undercut for contrast, and the result was a futuristic, fashion-forward look that turned heads.
Keep the lines clean, and it’ll do all the talking.
9. Textured Wolf Cut
The wolf cut is basically the mullet’s artsy cousin. It’s chaotic in the best way volume on top, tapered at the ends.
I find it works best on wavy or curly hair, giving you that messy-genius aesthetic.
Pro tip: dry shampoo is your new BFF with this one.
10. Soft Buzz Cut
Nothing screams freedom like a soft buzz cut. I’ve done it twice—once during a breakup, once during a heatwave.
It’s low-effort, gender-neutral, and incredibly empowering.
If you’ve ever wanted to hit the reset button, this is the cut.
11. Medium Shaggy Layers
These layers are like a cozy flannel shirt—casual, cool, and never out of style.
The medium shaggy cut gives you that relaxed, lived-in feel.
I loved how it worked with both my natural texture and heat styling. Add a little texture spray and you’re golden.
12. Razored Pixie Bob
Sharp but not severe, the razored pixie bob is a whole mood. It’s great if you want something bold but not too short.
The razor adds movement without bulk, which is great for thick hair.
I used a lightweight wax to bring out the choppiness.

13. Curly Undercut Crop
Think curly on top, party on the sides.
The curly undercut crop is one of the best non binary haircuts if you want definition with a little edge.
I loved how my curls stood out more with the clean undercut. Moisturizer + curl cream = magic.
14. Blunt Micro Bob
It’s dramatic, it’s fashion, it’s giving “I run an art gallery.” The blunt micro bob is not for the faint of heart, but it’s so chic.
It works best on straight or slightly wavy hair and looks killer with bold makeup or glasses.
I kept the ends super sharp for that high-fashion finish.
15. Tapered Textured Crop
This cut is all about subtle structure. The tapered textured crop frames your face without being too precise.
I wore it when I needed something professional but still gender-free.
It styles in minutes—just a bit of pomade and a quick tousle.
16. Wavy Shoulder Cut
If you’re not ready to go short but want a change, the wavy shoulder cut is ideal.
It adds softness without feeling too traditionally feminine or masculine.
I kept mine with soft layers and let it air dry for that breezy, effortless feel. Great for every day.
17. Androgynous Mohawk
I was nervous about this one but wow. The androgynous mohawk brings major energy without locking you into a punk aesthetic (unless you want that).
I kept the sides short and styled the top up or flat, depending on my mood. It’s a statement piece for sure.
18. Layered Midi Cut
The layered midi is like the chill middle child of haircuts. It sits between bold and classic and works for literally everyone.
I found it super easy to maintain, and it transitioned smoothly as it grew out. Add a bit of wave and you’re set.
19. Soft Fade with Curls
Clean yet cozy—that’s the vibe. The soft fade with curls gives structure without losing the fun.
I had this when I wanted something neat but still expressive.
Keep the fade low and let your curls live their best life on top.
20. Choppy Fringe Crop
There’s something about a fringe that just changes your whole face.
The choppy fringe crop is youthful, versatile, and works across the gender spectrum.
I love pairing it with a bit of color or bleach for extra drama. Dry texture spray keeps it from looking too “done.”
