This really bothering me! Hair question.

Help!

Ok, so in this picture, the girl character (girl because girl eyes) has a haircut that is not actually available to female characters, right? SO HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE? It's a male haircut---correct me if I am wrong----

I want that haircut, but I can't get it as a girl character in the game! Am I missing something????? AAAG!

I found this picture in an article about how to tan in ACNL. http://animalcrossing.wikia.com/wiki/Tan

So it's real right...

I think I've seen this haircut on some girl who came to my town.

You can get boy hair cuts on girls and girls on boys after having one of every haircut of your gender. I had that hairstyle for a while

I used to just go into shampoodles every day and get one of each haircut in every colour.

You can definitely get that haircut even if you have a female player character. After purchasing about 15 haircuts from Shampoodle, you will get the ability to get male haircuts by Harriet. Do keep in mind that it doesn't need to be 15 consecutive haircuts, so you can take your time with unlocking it as long as you want.

Knew it was something like that I just remember getting a different haircut every day before I was asked if I wanted a guys cut

Wow, I need to go to the shampoodle more

Hope OK to post this - this is the clearest guide to hair styles I've seen, its well known, but thought it worth a repeat link.
I'm not a fan of the slider, so this guide makes it super simple.

^ that guide is great, much clearer to follow than the (many) others I've read!

Yes, after you've met the criteria, she'll offer all styles regardless of gender. The criteria is said to be either : had each hairstyle at least once; or a set number of visits, depending on the guide used... idk as I wanted to try each anyway but accidentally duplicated styles a few times so don't know what unlocked it.

Wow! Thanks guys! I'm going to get my hair cut.

yup!! harriet will say something like "oh i think you'd look great in a boys/girls haircut too!" every time you get your hair cut after you've been to her like 14 times :>
then (if you say Ye let's go for the other hairs) she'll ask you the questions normally but you'll get the Different Gender Hairstyle
