MTF Short Hairstyles: Top 3 Tips for Feminizing Short Hair

Your hair is a big part of your female image. While feminine hair might bring to mind long, flowing waves, the truth is that short hair can also look cute, fun, and sexy!

There are lots of reasons why transgender women and crossdressers might opt for a shorter hairstyle. For one thing, short hair is practical and low-maintenance. It also makes a bold fashion statement!

Now obviously, shorter hairstyles can lean towards a more masculine look. However, with the right cut and styling, MTF short hairstyles can look chic and feminine. That’s why in this post, I share my top 3 tips for feminizing short hair!

3 Tips for Feminizing MTF Short Hairstyles

1. Get a cute haircut

The first thing you need is a great haircut that can be styled in different ways. Choppy layered styles are fashionable and look great in both male and female modes.

Ask your hairstylist to show you different options for styling your hair. Layers that are swept towards the face are very feminine and flattering. Curls are another great, girly option.

2. Try a hair accessory

Transgender women with short hair look fantastic with barrettes and headbands, so this is an easy way to feminize a short haircut.

You can wear hair accessories at any age, but choose something appropriate. Stay away from girly bows or headbands after age 30. Instead, go for something sophisticated like a beautiful barrette or a pretty flower for your hair.

3. Wear a hat

Hats are a great fashion accessory. They make a bold fashion statement and add a touch of sophistication to any outfit.

Hats also offer an easy way to feminize your hairstyle. In fact, you don’t even have to do your hair! Just throw on a pretty hat and you’re good to go.

Be sure to consider the season when selecting a hat. That means you’ll want to avoid knit hats in the summer and straw hats in the winter. Felt hats can be worn year round except for during the hottest months.
