Significado
A hair style length
Contexto cultural
In Baku, short hair is seen as a sign of a modern, professional woman. Many young women opt for 'kare' (bob) cuts to look stylish. In some villages, long hair is still highly prized as a symbol of traditional beauty and 'ismət' (modesty). Short hair might be seen as 'oğlan kimi' (like a boy). Azerbaijani military service requires men to have very short hair, often referred to as 'əsgər kəsimi' (soldier cut). Historically, Azerbaijani men often wore 'papaq' (hats), and keeping hair short was practical for wearing these heavy wool hats comfortably.
The '-lı' trick
Add '-lı' to 'saç' to describe a person: 'qısa saçlı' (short-haired).
Avoid 'Balaca'
Never use 'balaca' for hair length. It's a very common beginner mistake.
