Lyhythihaiset

Lyhythihaiset refers to a group of Finnish people characterized by their short hair. This is not a formal ethnographic classification but rather a descriptive term sometimes used colloquially. The prevalence of short hairstyles among Finns, as in many other cultures, can be influenced by fashion trends, practicality, and personal preference. Historically, short hair has been common for both men and women in Finland for various reasons, including climate and lifestyle. In contemporary Finnish society, hairstyle choices are diverse, and while short hair remains a popular option, it does not define a distinct subgroup in a biological or cultural sense. The term is more indicative of a chosen aesthetic rather than an inherent characteristic.
