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.
What are the best male to female haircuts and styles?
I’m glad you asked!
The most flattering and feminizing hairstyles are ones that help soften strong facial features (like a prominent nose or jaw) while making your eyes and lips pop!
Read on to discover the top 6 MTF transgender hairstyles. Note that these style tips work for both wigs and natural hair.
1. Side Swept Bangs
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
Soft waves are super sexy and feminine. Waves also add volume to your hair, making thin hair appear fuller.
Most trans women and crossdressers look great with full, wavy hair that balances out stronger facial features and a larger body frame.
4. Shoulder Length Hair
Shoulder length hair is the best option for most women, including transgender women. Hair that’s too short can look masculine, while hair that’s too long can drag down your face after a certain age.
Shoulder length hair is very feminine and flattering. Additionally, it helps conceal a stronger jaw or thicker neck (if these are issues for you).
5. Side Parts
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. Generally speaking, your highlights should be two shades lighter than your base color for the most natural look.
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.
Hair is an important topic, so I’d love to hear from you!
First, take my poll and let me know if you’re a wig girl or natural hair gal! Then tell me if you’re happy with your current hairstyle or if it’s time for a change.
Finally, I’d love to see a photo of your hairstyle in the comments below!

Featuring models and actresses that have their own makeup artist and expensive beauty regimens is a poor example to show trans women that are always on a budget.. I have worked with Sandra Bullock personally and she probably spends more on her hair then some of us make at our job in a year, lol!

Thanks for your great advice… I have long,black & curly hair. Always looking out for tips with different hairstyles.

I am very new to this at age 58. Always though about becoming a
woman but I have not been brave enough to step into the spotlight yet.
I am a selfie only right now and I could really use some tips.
Dear Lucille, I am trying to grow my hair out but it is taking a long time. I have a sort hairstyle and comb it with bangs but I feel I still have my work cut out for me. I think you are awesome to the male to female transgender community. Love, Emily
This is my latest look! I really like it! What do you think? Any suggestions? Diana
Hi Diana, you look gorgeous, if only i could look half as pretty as you.
Love Gemma.
Hi Gemma, Thank’s for the complement! You just need to tke care of yourself and start a beauty care regiment and stick with it! I would tell you my age but, a lady doesn’t do that (hehe)! I will tell you that most everyone doesn’t believe me when they find out my age. If you follow Lucille’s advice about posing in photos and all her other advice, I’m sure you will look and feel more better about yourself! Again, thank’s for the complement! Diana
Hi Lucille,
Great post! I’m looking to get my (longish) hair cut soon to donate for cancer patients, but would like to try a new hairstyle and still mostly live in boy mode. Any ideas for androgynous hairstyles that I could wear as a male at work and slightly more feminine outside of work?
Janelle, I wear mine in a Jamie Curtis style. It works for me but I’m over 70 and don’t go all out, just want ton feel Femm.
