So, I'm going to the hairdresser's soon. I've been growing my hair out lately, and I wanna go for a wolf cut. Every hairdresser in the past has given me a bob cut instead of a wolf cut, but I'm not ready to give up just yet.
Not too long ago, I had really short hair. It was shorter than I had originally wanted, but it had a positive side effect: People were using my preferred pronouns. There are no official neutral pronouns in my native language, and between she/her and he/him, I feel more comfortable using he/him.
But now, people think my "trans phase" is over because my hair is longer, and I hate it. As much as I just want to do whatever, it's still nagging at me to have everyone suddenly misgender me again. I received some nasty comments that are making me want to cut my hair short again in retaliation. I'm not sure if that would be the right choice, though. I just want a cool haircut and have people use the right pronouns for me, but apparently, both options at the same time aren't possible. What do you think I should go for?

What even is a wolf cut
A cool haircut

To be more specific, it's like a mullet and shag mixed together with tons of layers
Have you tried showing them a picture or a video of how you want your hair to look like? I found that really helped me get the haircut that I liked (which just so happened to also be a wolf cut).
I did show them a picture every time, I think the main issue was that all my hairdressers were old white women who had no idea what a wolf cut even is :ram:

Yeah, that’s most definitely what it is. My grandmother was a hairdresser, and I had to show her a video of how to do a wolf cut. Maybe say a wolf cut with a lot of layers? It may sound redundant but maybe it’ll help give them an idea of what a wolf cut is. I think I have 3-4 layers for mine so that range may also help give an idea. But my hair is also very very thick, so it may depend on your hair type.
A sheep in wolf skin?
I vote what I would vote for myself lol
I never got fancy clothes or unique hairstyles, not saying it's bad, but sometimes we have fun in otherways
