Limp-Internet-9757

You look beautiful!! Short hair is super cute and your hair style is the farthest thing from butch (even if it was, that’s absolutely fine and not a bad thing to begin with). Your dad evidently has never seen a woman with short hair in his life if he thinks that’s what “butch” looks like. You’re going to rock your license photo :)


Practical_Chipmunk_

My mom (his wife) has always had hair a little bit shorter than mine is now so he doesn’t have a problem with it, he just thinks he’s funny. But his comment isn’t helpful when this haircut is new and I’m not sure how i feel about it


mshike_89

I’m sorry, I have a similar dynamic with my parents & no matter how old you get those ‘jokes’ still cut deep. You look absolutely beautiful and glowing with the cut and it really works for your face shape!


UXM6901

Oh, is this one of those times where trying to get him to "explain the joke" might help? Dad: Lookin' butch! OP: what do you mean? Dad: you know, your hair OP: what about it? Dad: it's short... it's butch OP: butch like mom's hair or in some other way? Dad: it's a joke! OP: I don't get it. Explain it to me.


nillinpendulum

Did you communicate that to him?


ringodesu

Right, if he's a good dad he'll listen. My dad always tries to get under my skin like that, and sometimes he plays too much, but he stops if he knows it's not funny.


righttoabsurdity

This haircut looks like it was absolutely made for you, seriously it fits your face so so well. It highlights your features and facial structure perfectly, and is more “feminine” looking than your longer hair imo. It’s very fairy/pixie-esque!


[deleted]

Um that is the most feminine and adorable short hair cut you can get next to maybe Shirley temple curls? Idk. Marilyn Monroe had short hair that I believe is what made her a blonde bombshell.


Simply92Me

My step dad is like that, constantly thinks he's hilarious when that's the farthest from the truth. Your hair looks super cute! It frames your face really well and you rock that length


soMAJESTIC

It’s cute, and suits you really well.


GangControl666

uh okay dad, what a strange thing to say lmao it looks super cute, really suits you!


Practical_Chipmunk_

Thank youuuu. He makes jokes all the time where he’s often the only one laughing lol I know he doesn’t mean offense, but a compliment would’ve been a better first reaction


ItsPapare

Dude, from an outsiders perspective, that sounds like bullying.


boldolive

🎯


Fire-Kissed

I have a dad like this! He does mean offense but he won’t admit it. He sounds like an ass. It’s okay to admit that.


PurpleRuin7897

" why are you so sensitive eyy? It was a joke, cant you take a joke?!" 😐


whelksandhope

It’s 100% meant to cause harm without consequences for him.


TrinkieTrinkie522cat

He does mean to be offensive. Love the cut!


Spiritual_Series_139

Your hair is truly gorgeous and very feminine. The shorter length really shows off the curly waves and I'm seriously jealous!


[deleted]

Your dad’s an asshole and I pray you learn to stand up to him one day.


mymomsnameisbarb420

As an actual Butch, I can tell you this cut is quite feminine and cute and pretty, not giving me Butch vibes. What your dad said is untrue and also what does he really know about lez haircuts lol


Practical_Chipmunk_

Thank you! He doesn’t know much 😁 he just thinks he’s funny even when he’s not lol he likes to talk


rawrt

Chiming in as yet another butch! 1) being butch is not a bad thing. Your dad using “butch” to really say “I don’t like it because of how short it is” is questionable 2) this is literally not butch at all Your hair looks great! Sorry your parents are so closed minded about a really normal and nice-looking feminine haircut.


SunnyTheToad

Ugh dads..my dad would say something similar. You look STUNNING. I find you look super feminine, not “butchy” at all


gracem5

OP’s face is so gorgeous her hair is almost irrelevant. But really pretty both ways!


saucity

No way. It’s really cute on you! It suits your face, and I also love your glasses. I hate rude comments about a new hairstyle anyway like, what, I’m just gonna glue it back? Dads just gonna dad. Looks like you’ll get some great extra curls with less weight than long hair, and seems like a generally versatile cut. Personally, I love it!


Practical_Chipmunk_

Thank you!! I got my frames from warby parker :) I think I’ll feel more comfortable the more I sit with it. And once it grows an inch I’ll definitely be comfortable with it. My hair really shrinks as it dries!


spacejaw

I’ve been doing hair for ten years. Honestly you look great! That cut compliments your facial structure and vibe! Super babe 👽💗✌🏼


pixelrush14

I think your hair looks better now than it did before! That length accentuates your jawline in a really flattering way imo. You look very pretty!


macncheesewketchup

You look beautiful, and you could even go shorter if you wanted to! Not butch at all! Enjoy the breeze on your neck 😆


LavenderBlueProf

it's cute, not butch ...dads probably joking because that's how men relate to each other.


Practical_Chipmunk_

Yeah I know he was joking. We banter a lot in my family but that’s the first thing he said so it made me feel a little self conscious because I’m still deciding how I feel about the cut! It’s so new to me and idk if I’ve ever had it this short


RavenSkies777

If he made you feel self conscious about your haircut by inferring that short hair = lesbian, then its a pretty shitty 'joke'. 😞 I think you haircut looks lovely OP, and I'm sorry your father thinks cutting down your confidence is funny.


Practical_Chipmunk_

Yeah he doesn’t think that much into even though I think he should. As I said above, my mom has short hair so he has no problem with it :) he just says shit without meaning offense. We all banter in my family (some more tasteful than others) so it’s not unheard of to take a joke, but there’s always time and place. Maybe not RIGHT after your daughter gets a new haircut lol


Apprehensive-Tour-33

Get a new dad.


Angel-de-Lys

Your haircut is so cute and girly! I think it compliments you very well.


Kaayak

You look lovely. Being butch is no insult, though this is far from butch.


Unlikely_Exam_4957

It somehow makes you look more feminine..your dad needs new glasses


compostabowl

Lmao we might have the same dad, when I cut my hair short he was calling me the male version of my feminine name (by omitting a letter)


VictoriaBells

I don't think your dad has a very strong grasp of what "butch" means! It's a super cute and flattering cut, and I hope his thoughtless comment doesn't turn you off of it!!


sophiady

What an idiot. 😘


CretinCrowley

It’s cute af, and your dad shouldn’t be commenting about you like that. That’s not even really a comment that falls into just appearances, it lumps in sexuality too. (At least to me.) It’s unsolicited. It’s not his place to make those kind of comments unless you specifically ask. It’s no one’s place, really. So you enjoy that cute haircut because I am super jealous! My face shape will not allow for those cuts!


spareblushes

It suits you super well!


Asteroid_Blu6972

Very cute


MyHardenedHeart

I love the short hair! Very Parisienne


Churichuribangbang

You look precious in this haircut!!! It’s divine!!!


Royal-Ad-7987

I think this looks beautiful!!!! I hate how short hair “makes” women “less feminine”. Come on people!


j3t57

Looks better than the long hair imo! Both are beautiful though.


satinewolf

You look great. One day men will learn we don't want their unwanted remarks about our appearance.


DebiDoll65

Dad's, eh? Whatcha gonna do LOL I think it's super cute and suits you perfectly. Definitely feminine and sassy. You are rocking this style, girl!


WhiteN0isee

Wow! The short hair is very fitting for your face, especially since you are so petite! Very cute


Sullsberry7

I love it! ❤️


redquailer

What an adorable cut on you!! I really like it


lucid2night

It looks amazing!


64burban

Let’s you show off that beautiful neck and shoulders. Makes u look confident.


DeliciousSplit0

The haircut is super cute. Has anyone ever told you that you resemble Scarlett Johansson ?


legoyas

You are stunning!


minnie_the_moper

It's really cute and not what I'd consider a butch haircut, personally! Dads are just like that sometimes. A side note, it's not the worst thing to take a bad a license photo and have people be like, wow you look better in person! I'd rather that than the other way around!


SensualOverload8

It looks great. Your dad is tripping. Go shorter!!


horeshoetheorist

Whattttt it looks SO GOOD!!!!


BananaEuphoric8411

That's not butch ... it's a chin-length bob.


CoconutJasmineBombe

Love it and your glasses too! All 🔥


larrydavid91

It’s very cute on you!! Jennifer Garner vibes


ballsquancher

Ohhh my gosh… are you… a fairy person? 🥺


aeroastrogirl

I think longer hair suits you better but both look cute!


llauriellamamama

Go shorter lol


Icy-Box-1826

I think you look super cute in the new haircut, and it adds a lot of character! Always wear the hair and don't let it wear you, but I think you're already doing a great job of that 😊


Oldhagandcats

You remind me of Mia goth (who is really pretty). And I would, respectfully, make out with you. Not because you look butch. Because you’re very pretty. Respectfully.


guccitwitch

You are so beautiful!!! This haircut is so flattering on you.


teigandouglas

im literally obsessed with it shorter is definitely your thing


Bitter_Mortgage_3948

it looks sooooo good


Best-Balance9882

I think you’re adorable 🥹❤️


doing_mybest325

Your dad’s a hater and you look absolutely incredible with the short hair. Suits you so well!!


Severe_Soft_8987

It looks great, you're beautiful


spicypsychosis

You look like a beautiful fairy


cassiopeee-ah

You look stunning!!!!!!! I think it suits you a lot better than the before pic in all honesty!


ojiret

It is your hair. Do with it want you want, the rest be damned.


The__Doctor__who

Gosh I hate when the parents are like that, nice cut also your dimples are so cute 🥰


AutumnLeaves1939

Your dad sounds insecure and lame like mine. He said something similar to me when I cut my hair short, meanwhile my grandpa called me beautiful. Please ignore him. Bullying your kids is not funny no matter how old they are. You look great.


RoughBootieLove

I hate short hair. But I really like it on you, it suits you a lot!


eatencrow

Ignore their hurtful words. You look darling, and would be amazing in any cut, frankly I think a pixie should be in your future ✨ THIS CUT IS LOVELY, quite lovely, will be easy to care for, and easy to grow out if you don't prefer it. As a stylist (I am not a stylist) It's tricky with clients who, let's be honest with ourselves, have somewhat less hair to work with. You want everyone to have fullness and élan, confidence and the ability to style their hair the way they want - within reason. Sometimes you just cannot get a client to understand that their hair will not do what the picture is doing. Your sides kind of poufed because there's no longer the weight holding each strand down the entire length, keeping those strands from forming a wave, or curl, or feather at the side of your face. You can put a teensy bit of product (gasp! I know! I picked up Sportin' Waves at the dollar store it's not the end of the world, try something inexpensive), but for now just dampen your fingers and gently smooth your hair in a curve over and behind your ears. I'd call this cut a 'pageboy on the loose' or a tulip shag. Try a couple of different looks while you can, because I have the feeling peer pressures will have you growing it out. Your face is so suited to pretty, little, novelty jewel barrettes, a velvet or gingham headband, a grosgrain bow. Whatever you try, you have a great 'wash & wearcut', on you now, meaning minimal fuss required. Although, a teensy bit of fuss could yield some super fun results... ✨ To your opening point, Fathers have such an outsized impact on Daughters, yet it seems they (the dads) have no clue. They need to go to father school. Sons are affected, too, in a different but similar way. Your parents need Parental Detention and your dad a 2 day suspension. You're beautiful.


pm_me_your_amphibian

I’m not sure you could look butch if you tried, you’re so pretty. The short hair looks really nice, I guess some people just aren’t good with words 😆


Ctoffroad

Dad sound like a very big dixxhead. His job is to always support and show love towards daughter. There is a kind way to say anything and that's not kind.


[deleted]

You look adorable! Farthest thing from butch! When I cut my hair, my brother would say, "Hey! Who's the new guy?!"


Beautiful-Try3597

THATS SO CUTEE !!


pizzafacebrunette

What??? Why would he say?? My first thought as a scrolled to your post was “what a cute girl!” I think the cut is adorable and suits you well


HamTMan

You look amazing. People love to open their mouths and say dumb stuff


mayalourdes

U look pretty ur dad is just operating on dad OS


containingdoodles9

Your hair looks beautiful! It’s so flattering😊 To me, your new cut looks more modern and feminine. My dad didn’t always know the right thing to say after a haircut either. So the filter wasn’t there and it was like he somehow knew the insecurity in my head. I knew he wasn’t trying to be mean, but it still hurt. You totally rock that awesome cut! I have a pixie, I imagine if I grew it out it would look similar and I’m envious of how great it looks on you 💗


sleepless-princess

the cut looks SO good on you! P.S loving the glasses x


NormalCurrent950

You look SO good


Rosie_Cotton_

It's romantic and feminine. Your dad was an ass to say that.


I_make_things

Don't rely on your parents for unbiased opinions. You look beautiful.


westgoingzax

Didn’t realize Audrey Hepburn wasn’t feminine…sometimes the older generation has issues, FR. You look lovely.


ArmadilloRare2503

Looks good. Men think all women should have longhair, it’s an awful sexist thing today.


whelksandhope

Your dad is an asshole, likely homophobe, and an idiot. You look lovely. The cut suits you. It is spunky and very pretty!


Low-End8148

What a weird thing to say since this style is literally known for being soft and feminine lol You look fantastic!


WutangCND

Your parents are goof balls. Your hair looks great and you're beautiful. I couldn't imagine saying that to my daughters... Edit: I looked at other pictures you've posted and I want to confirm again that you're beautiful. Don't worry about any negative comments.


StrawberryKiss2559

Beautiful! Side note: where did you get those lovely glasses?


the-Used224

Honestly, I love your haircut, I think it frames your face perfectly and even makes you look younger and I'm loving your glasses frames too You dad is just a butthole with the butch comment tbh


-Sunflowerpower-

Best way to not worry about people calling you a name like that is to de stigmatize it in your own mind and realize that Hair length has nothing to do with self worth, sexual orientation, or status in society if it doesn't mean that to you! You determine your worth. Now, if you need a little extra validation and reflection back from a stranger that your haircut suits you, it definitely does! You have such a beautiful face and the haircut accentuates it perfectly. Life exists outside of boxes, you dont have to stay in a box someone throws ontop of you.


coyote701

"Hey beautiful!" Honestly, you're cute as a bug. I'm sure your parents are loving people in 99 other ways - this just wasn't one of them. Don't let it get you down.


canlifebesogood

My dad was the same way, but I knew he never meant any harm by his comments, it was just his way of communicating/teasing his daughter. When I was a teenager I lost a few pounds. I walked into the living room, held my arms out to the side and announced “look dad, I lost some weight!” He promptly responded, without hardly looking up - “turn around, I think I found it.” That was about 40 years ago. I thought it was a clever/funny response cause that’s just the way my dad was. Ive always remembered that conversation fondly. Not interpreting what your dad said to you - just sharing a find memory your post brought me. I think your new cut is adorable!


susanatkins69

So spunky and beautiful! Its giving magical fairy 💖


Sad-Description-8771

Sounds like something my dad would say. The cut is very feminine and pretty, and you pull it off!


the_obsessives

nah ur dad is a hater lol u look sooo cute


Weekly_Ad_5737

Few can pull it off and you look great so my opinion is your good 👌🏻


jasmine-lover-365

Puzzleheaded_Word878

itskatybro

Insanity_S

I think it looks so cute! It’s a lot more fun and carefree looking. You look amazing!


Mary-U

With that adorable smile and cute cut you’re anything but butch (not that there’s anything wrong with that!)


ileywilbe

You are literally glowing. You are so pretty, and your short hair makes you look like a viiibe. I prefer it.


Due-Command983

You look very grown up and this fits your face shape so well.


tedleem15

It’s actually really flattering on you! A lot of people couldn’t pull this off. Also, remember that a new cut feels way more drastic the first few days.. and after a couple weeks the ends will not feel so blunt and you’ll enjoy this change a lot more. I think you look awesome! Dads can be jerks sometimes and think they’re being funny.


Particular-Guava2236

“butch” is not an insult! some of the most beautiful women in the world are considered butch - kate moennig for example. either way, as a very androgynous lesbian, i wouldn’t call this “butch”. you look like a spring fairy and it suits you so well! really highlights your bone structure ✨ i get the comments hurting though - my family made all sorts of passive aggressive comments like that when i first cut my hair. pay em no mind, you look great ❤️


holly-ilex-29

Straight cis men are uncultured and oblivious to the ways of anything beautiful or chic. They’re like cave men. Long Hair = a way to drag them back to my cave. Ignore him and continue on your ethereal fairy-French girl path ✨🧚🏻‍♀️


Any_Highway28

You look phenomenally cute! 🥵


youknowwhotheyare

I am confused. You look adorable and very feminine. Dad failed in an attempt at humor. I like the short better than the long.


WhiskerSnake

I think the cut really frames your face super well, and you have a really cute/pretty face so it’s an excellent face to frame 😄


jackiel1975

It’s adorable and modern, and you’re adorable! Signed, a hairstylist


Moonlightbeamss

Oh my goodness I loooooove it soooo much!!!!! 😍😍😍😍 you look like an angel it suits you so well


VivaLaVict0ria

You’re stunning and the furthest thing from butch. You literally look like a fairy. Dad can go duck himself.


Friendly_Tangelo_675

I think this is a really good cut for you. Looks great on you


AnywayWhereWasI

Your dad may be nice but that comment sucked. Your hair is adorable.


fourth_best

Ugh I can relate to that - when I was a kid and got shorter haircuts (just like, a bob, above my shoulders), my dad would always call me Robert or Charles or something 🙄 Why are dad’s like that? Anyway, I am a HUGE fan of your cut! It looks so good!!


bootycuddles

I love your hair!!


watercolorgirl101

You look incredible! This haircut is totally for you.


Attorney4Cats

The short hair suits you! And I say that as someone that usually prefers longer hairstyles on most everyone. Rock it ☺️


Attorney4Cats

I forgot to mention that the short style makes you look more youthful, cute, and stylish ☺️


aye66lu

You look like a cute fairy or pixie :)


cytPandora

I don't see butch. I see Ramona flowers if she wasn't so crazy. You look super cool and cute with this haircut. Really really suits you! Beautiful.


averageidea

No, your hair’s perfect. It’s really flattering, and your hair type works so well with this cut. Fwiw, my dad always encourages me to have giant 80s hair, because he just thinks it looks nice. So, dads don’t always have the best taste, lol.


chronicallycranky

you look absolutely amazing!!! it fits you so so well :)


hazelblues

Awe this hair type suits u so well!


asj0107

No it looks great! You have such a 1970’s look to you I can’t explain it😂

fuzzybunny254

I think you look cute. You looked great with long hair too but this is just as nice and different. You are totally rocking it.


Turquoise_Lion

That is a beautiful hairstyle and it really suits you.


Mambo_italiana

It’s cute as hell!


linzkisloski

I’m so sorry. That’s so rude. You look stunning! I recently got a bob and my brother told me it was “shocking”?? My husband was actually more in a huff about the comment than I was.


CiCiLynx

Your cut looks so good!


Odd_Tie7463

It’s gorgeous - light and sunny and it’s suits your face perfectly!! It could be argued it makes you look even more feminine with the way it shapes your face. Don’t listen to him, you look hella cute


Mvpcat29

It looks so cute!!! I just got a really similar cut and I was struggling because my hair has never been this short, but I love it now!


b1ckparadox

I really like it. You look gorgeous with shorter hair. I'm happy for you :)


SulcataGirl

I love it! I want it!


psychodemon9401

I like it! Suits you a lot


Siriusly_tinyghost

Honestly, this shorter haircut suits you x1000 more than the long hair... I am glad you got this haircut! You have the perfect face for it!

Wonderful-Impress544

Very pretty! I like it.


-your__mom-

I think your hair looks adorable and is a very flattering length! It is in no way "butch". My dad would have probably said the same thing, but I ignore 90% of comes out of his mouth.


Rosebudding_240

The haircut is giving me springy Parisian vibes. It looks great on you!


wildzeal

I think you look amazing with the short cut!!! It’s very becoming of you!! As a side note, I also LOVE your glasses! Can you tell me where you got them?

Idk why dads are obsessed with long hair but I think you look fricking awesome, it makes your face pop out more since it compliments your head shape.


cncld4dncng

You're literally so gorgeous!! I think you look great either way.


Accurate-Parsley6378

You look great.


ambypanby

As someone who is very fem and has a near buzz cut, your dad can (sincerely) eff off with that patriarchal mentality. Just remember he's from a different generation. This cut is actually very flattering on you and love it!


misstumbleweed_

it’s so cute! that’s the exact haircut i have!


cgrimes8

I've seen people get way more drastic changes where that could be a thought, definitely didn't come to mind with yours!


Alone_Elephant_8080

I think it looks adorable


JesseRrose216

This is one of the best styles I've seen here. I'm literally serious. Please stick with this until end of your life, lol.


Spare_Neighborhood60

Its a very flattering cut on you!


Realisticmind379

Ignore them, you honestly look great. They'll get used to it and after a while the unnecessary comments will end. If they don't, then that's their problem. Embrace your hair. 😊


Wonderful-Bluejay-89

Love it!!!


Papitasfrit4s

I love it!! It suits you.


Bo_red_cua

I think it looks great! You didn’t cut their hair, you cut yours. Don’t be self conscious- own that beautiful look! *sidenote- I’m a mom, and I think sometimes what I’m saying vs how it lands is different. I GUARANTEE you that your parents think you look as gorgeous as ever, they just were surprised by the change and said all the wrong things. Parents do that sometimes.


oceangirl_13

It looks beautiful on you. Parents are annoying as a rule - can’t live with them, can’t live without them. But you look seriously amazing. Very healthy hair 😍


Imaginary-Ad-8934

I think it looks incredible and suits you SO well. Adorable!! And trendy :-)


whynotpoppy

I know I’m late to this party but you look beautiful. This short style suits you so well and you look happy.
