Brooklyn-based hairstylist Alys Aurora of Studio Botanicum helps us answer some age-old questions, like: 

  • Is there such thing as a queer haircut that isn't a mullet?
  • How can a haircut help affirm your presentation?
  • What does "queer" hair look like for folks with textured/kinky hair? 

Hosted by Ally Beardsley and Babette Thomas, Gender Spiral is a quest to explore the modern experience of being a human in our gendered world.
