Do you want to look younger, prettier, and more feminine? If so, try changing your hairstyle! There’s no easier way to improve your appearance.
The secret is to choose a hairstyle that helps soften strong facial features (like a prominent nose or jaw) while making your eyes and lips pop! Your hair should also be in proportion with your overall body size.
Read on to discover the top 6 hairstyles for crossdressers and transgender women. These style tips apply whether you wear a wig or rock your own natural hair.
1. Side swept bangs

| Candis Cayne, Transgender Actress |
Bangs are a great option since they draw attention to your eyes while hiding a prominent brow ridge. Bangs also make you look cute and youthful! Straight bangs can highlight angular facial features, so go for soft, side swept bangs instead.
2. Layers

Layered hairstyles tend to be much more flattering than hair that’s all one length. Face framing layers soften your features and add texture and volume to your hair.
3. Soft waves
 |
| Laverne Cox, Transgender Actress and Activist |
Soft waves are super sexy and feminine. Waves also add volume to your hair, making thin hair appear fuller. Most crossdressers and transgender women look great with full, wavy hair that balances out strong facial features and a larger body frame.
4. Shoulder length hair
 |
| Caitlyn Jenner, Transgender Celebrity |
Shoulder length hair is the best option for most women, including transgender women. Hair that’s too long drags down your face and looks “old Barbie” after a certain age, while hair that’s too short can look masculine. Shoulder length hair is very feminine and help conceal a strong jaw and thick neck.
5. Side parts
 |
| Carmen Carrera, Transgender Model and Actress |
Middle parts can be tricky since they make your face look longer and highlight your nose and chin. Side parts are more flattering and can be worn by anybody with any face shape.
6. Highlights

Finally, don’t forget about color! Highlights brighten your face and look softer than a single block of color. There are lots of options besides blonde highlights – women with dark hair look fantastic with light brunette or auburn highlights.
Make everyday a good hair day!
Nothing can boost your appearance like a fabulous hairstyle. As you can see from the tips above, the key is to think SOFT – soft cuts, soft texture, and soft color – to balance and feminize your features.

I finally settled on this hairstyles
I have tried many styles as well as several different colors and my favorite is #5 swept bangs in a blonde mix even though it’s probably not the right color for me at 60 should be wearing grey I guess.
Finally retired and am able to grow my natural curly hair (2 + years)
Hello…!!! I just turned 67 you have inspired new Hope for me. Thank you…!!!!!
Lucille,
As always, great advice. When I first starting dressing, a hairstyle was not that important. If I had a wig, I made the best of it….but when I decided I wanted to “Pass” and go out, everything changed. I realized how important a hairstyle really is….I started wearing a “Bob” years ago and I feel it works well for my face shape. I have tried other styles, but I like it the best.
As always
Have fun dressing

please give me your opinion about my Hairstyles
They all look Great But I do favor number 3 the best. Lov.
I just bought another wig that is the same one I already have! I love the style! Any of you girls do the same? By the way, as an aside, I have been invited to go on a Caribbean cruise! From what I understand, the ladies wear evening gowns or cocktail dresses to dinner! Here I am trying on a gown at Macy’s yesterday. What do you think for this 72 year old? I kind of like it! Not cheap, but will be fun! Hugs, Suzy
Very Nice.
It’s hard to fathom that you are 72 You look Great. I just turned 65 you have inspired new Hope for me. Thank you Lotsa love your way.
I am finding it hard to believe that you are 72. Just maybe you had your fingers working backwards. But that aside, I love your look and the gown. I would go for it. I too shop in Macy’s and the ladies in there are just so nice to me. The store I shop in is Albany NY.
Thanks so much Paula for the nice complement! I also love Macy’s as well. The sales lady did help me pick out this gown plus some others she brought into the dressing room for me to try on. She treated me like a woman and we even joked about how much a fun a cruise will be, especially on the romantic formal nights! Was fun!
That dress looks awesome on you!! I have been on a few cruises and you would fit right in on formal night. be sure to include a few casual outfits for the other nights. Have a great time….I am so jealous.
Thanks Paulette! I’m also taking a cocktail dress just in case, some sundresses, shorts, etc. I am very much looking forward to it!
I have found this style to be the best for me. Either side parted of in the middle. I tried bangs for a while but I feel better with big hair.
You look very nice! I love big hair as well.
