Hi priyanka. You have just described what i went through. Even i had a ‘boy cut’ till i was 17, and till then no one considered me a girl. the moment i grew it longer- shoulder length- i was in the league of girls for once, with guys admiring, with girls saying that i look like a girl now. though i felt that i did lose my identity a bit when i turned into the ‘typical girl’. I’ve recently cut it again, but another style, not ‘boy cut’.
The part of theorising about hair, well, i’m doing my MPhil in Cultural Studies in EFLU at Hyd, and wanted to work for my thesis on the semiotics of hair, on the sexual gendered meanings of hair. but no prof here seems to be able to guide me in this area. they all seem to have a problem with it. nevertheless, i still think of hair as an important site of control, resistance, sexuality and politics as u have rightly pointed out. it gave me so much pleasure to read your piece. thank you!

My hair goes from long to short and short again, but most of the times I wear it in what I would call a chin length U-cut (the hairdresser calls it something a lot more sophisticated) because it is the most manageable.

But guess what, my five year old son who has me for a mother, and the TV for a teacher has been after me to switch shampoos so my hair gets ‘long and strong’. I hate the media.

Can I tell you how much I love this article? (Yes.) Ok, I love this article

I’ve hated all my life, how the men in my life (father, boyfriends et al) have always *advised* me to keep it long. Never quite got it and annoyed the hell out of me.

Ever noticed how the struggling single women are shown sporting a short crop? And how the wives in the tellies wear a bun? I really hate the media for doing this to us.

* Group hug* LOL, Love the piece.

This was an issue that I had thought about several times, you have given a great expression to it. Hair, I think, not only symbolises femininity, but cultural affiliations and societal status. Remember that Bollywood movie (forgot the name) in which Preity Zinta plays a prostitute hired for becoming surrogate mom to the child of Salman khan and Rani Mukherjee? Initially she runs around with curly hair and bright colored dresses and then she gets a ‘respectable woman’ makeover – she starts wearing pastel colors and straight long hair. In Princess Dairies, Anne Hathaway’s curly mop is straightened as part of giving her ‘royal’ look.
“America expects the wife of Barack Obama, the man who wants to be president, to project an image of sophistication and near perfection. That image includes having hair that doesn’t make waves.” And that means a no to curly hair.
Having thick black ringlets all over my head, I have always had my doubts. I have resisted straightening it, despite a lot of pressure from friends who say I would look much prettier if I did.
One more thing, Halle Berry has short spiky hair. But she is considered attractive..

Priyanka…It is a one of a kind piece…it not only symobizes the idea of long…or short hair…it is about embracing freedom and self-expression

I like the different angles of this “hair investigation” piece: long hair gives women sexual power over men, yet it cuts woman’s power as an individual and restricts her freedom for self expression. I have cut my hair very short for the first time in my life at age 15 without my parents’ consent, and it drove my parents into a state of shock, an equivalent of their “teen pregnancy” news. I come from Russia – a more advanced country in terms of women rights, as compared to India, but the fundamental public perception of the role of long hair as a symbol of virginity and an attribute of female sexuality is rather strong there as well. It is guarded by both men and women. I just remember, how happy I was once my knee-long heavy braid was gone. It was like getting rid of the burden or flying out of a cage. It had nothing to do with sexuality, but it made me feel as if I didn’t have to wear some costume to please the people around me, I got a choice to chose my own style. It was priceless.

Dilnavaz, that is interesting– I understand that in many cultures, women cut their hair as a sign of their “maturity”. Not sure where this originated from: was it to send a message to their men saying hold off on the impregnation, I’m older now and done with that, and can now start the business of life, i.e. managing a home, my personal interests etc.? Was it to ward off men other than their mates or family members? [Assuming that female long hair and male attention are indeed directly proportional to each other]. Or maybe this is over thinking the issue, and short hair is just more manageable and has more volume as one gets older

Alankrata, you story sounds very familiar! And– buns are as good a reason as any other

I can so so identify with the writeup… im glad somebody has written about an issue ive always felt very strongly about. I have always had short hair (“boy cut” – as referred by the people including June, my hairdresser for almost 10 years in the small town where i grew up). My parents had all 3 of us sisters keep it that way. My father loves short hair and was mighty disappointed when both my younger sisters grew them. For my mother i guess it was more for a practical reason. I can understand her not desiring the additional work of combing 3 heads each morning

And though my sisters grew their hair as we grew up, i never did (except once in college all because the guy i was seeing that time loved long hair and i was naive enough to do it just to make him happy). In fact, for the last four years, i have had a crew cut. And yet, im doing so now, at the age of 26, and all because of my mothers reason – how will we put up a bun on your wedding day if you dont grow them a little bit!

This issue has been on my mind so often, but not for the usual reasons. I’ve always found it interesting that older Parsi women (family, friends, acquaintances) not only maintain short hair but urge me to cut mine because “long hair is so old-fashioned”. The length of my hair has see-sawed through the years but it’s mostly been longer than shoulder length, to which my grandmother would say “Cut it, cut it, it’s so long!”
Friends say you can recognize a Parsi woman from the back of her head and I believe it’s so easy because of the usually shorter hair. I don’t know whether it is convenience or social acceptability or the belief that it’s “modern” that makes the older generation do it, but I’d be hard put to find a Parsi woman over 40 with hair longer than shoulder length. Mostly, it’s bobbed or cropped.
And from my experience with Parsi men, it’s not like they appreciate it!
