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.

A question about hair color… my MTF daughter has very long hair, straight — straighter than normal as she’s coloured it black. As her face is shaped in a very “male” form (she is also Vary tall, with non-proportionally large feet and hands), to me the long black hair is not flattering.
But she has had years of prejudice and hate-speak, and now is determinedly of the expectation she is a lesbian as she expects all men as misogynous who expect all women to look like models.
So really, I have two questions:
Would you feel black is not a flattering color for a tall, mannish woman?
Have you also been so badly treated by men that you expect their worst attitude towards you (in other words, is this a common state in which you live)?
(BTW daughter announced her TG status in 2003 (age 25) so is 39; Thanks for helping a wanna-be helpful mum)
A good wig can cost a lot and also it may be worth having it trimmed to suit your face. It is not extravagant when you think of the money that women spend on hairdressing and the length of time that a wig can last if you are careful with it. I find that long wigs can be tricky to manage because they can get tangled. Anyway a long hairstyle is not what a woman of my age should be wearing!
I love the instant change with putting on a wig. I like a face-framing style and either straight hair or gentle waves. I like the idea of a style that is quite wide but not too long at the back but finding a wig like that is difficult I find. One change when putting a wig on is that you can do the swish, by which I mean moving your head and making your hair move.
btw, I am always so totally impressed with the photos that the girls post here with their comments. Makes me so totally jealous.
Love the hair style recommendations. I often thought that one of the most fascinating things about being a woman was their ability to change their hair styles to reflect the times.
Your hair looks fabulous Lucille, thanks!
