A garcon haircut is a decisive step for those who are bored with classics and monotony. Short-cropped hair "like a boy" gives the image of its owner a solid touch of sophistication, focusing on her grace. By the way, short women's haircuts appeared about a century ago and are still relevant.
Previously, only men cut their hair short, but in the 1920s the situation changed. In Victor Margherita's novel LaGarçone, the main character was portrayed as a girl with boyish hair (translated from French as garson - boy), who contradicted generally accepted views about women. This is the history of the emergence of the women's garcon haircut.
