Pixie cuts and desi femininity: Here's proof that short hair doesn't make you a boy
Your hair is just your hair, not a certificate of your womanhood.
Hair has always been considered the most important feature in a woman. In a world obsessed with looks, women with short hair are often branded masculine. You might be pretty familiar with the word "tomboy" as well.
So you can have the prettiest of the eyes, defined by kohl, and delicate earrings danging from your lobes--but people will still call you a boy, because well, you've got short hair.
And it isn't just about that. When it comes to Indian culture, long hair has always been associated with ethnic wear. Be it salwars or saris, it's a common perception that everything would look good with long flowy hair.
However, we often forget that hair has got nothing to do with traits--masculine or feminine. No matter how much you call haircuts similar to pixie cuts a "boy cut", it still is not related to boys or men. Because let's face it, a girl can be super feminine and still pull off short hair.
And forget about looking feminine, you can actually wear a sari with short cropped hair and manage to look absolutely hot! Don't believe us? Here's proof.
Take Mandira Bedi for instance. She can wear anything and look gorgeous and her short hair has never been a question on her femininity. Just look at her dazzle in saris!
Fatima Sana Shaikh, Sanya Malhotra and Zaira Wasim sported really short hair in their movie Dangal. However they have been seen with their short hair in all promotional events and award shows. They have carried themselves with grace in ethnic wear, while sporting a short hairdo.

You can wear a heavy neckpiece with your sari, have a tattoo, and still look feminine--your short hair isn't your worst enemy.
