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!

I am what I consider a “home dresser”; that is, I always dress in “female” clothing while at home, and always “under dress” during the day. I occasionally go out in public en femme, but not often, and never in inappropriate dress for the time of day. I am in my early seventies. My hair is currently waist length, but I’d like to get an age-appropriate androgynous style that can go either way, depending on how I am presenting. I’d love to see an article showing some of those on both cisgendered women and on crossdressers.
I love long hair ,However as I age find shorter hair fits my age more
(1) It would be really helpful to have a series on 6 (7, 10) ways for transgender women with thin hair on top (but not bald) to wear their own hair and look feminine. I have always worn wigs, but have started to dislike them; I’ve been embarrassed by my thin (not bald) hair on top, lest it out me. I’d love to find some way to wear my own hair as a woman.
(2) Also, given that I am not transitioned and live part-time as man and part-time as woman, it would be nice to be able to use it both ways (as man or as woman), i.e. brush it one way as a woman and another way as a man.
What’s the chances? 🙂

For Lynne, (a wanna-be helpful mum),
Like your soon-to-be-daughter, I was greatly harrased when I started on my steps to womanhood. Please share with her that not all men are the same. I was born as a male with multiple birth defects and at the age of two, fell on a broken bottle that damaged half of my face and left me blind in one eye. I felt from early childhood that I was born in the wrong body. During the years that I was required to live full time as a woman, prior to surgery, I was harrassed by male co-workers and often rejected by female co-workers. The thing that kept me going was that I knew deep inside that I was a woman. Even after having corrective surgery on my 30th birthday, there have been difficut times. But I have had the good fortune of meeting men that have enriched my life with their close friendship, and I do not mean in a sexually way.
If she truly feels that she is a female, and grows to accepts herself and becomes confident in her identity, the men around her will start to see that she is a female that may not have been graced with the gift of having the appearence of a model. I know because admittedly, I am not pretty by any means.
While employed as a cashier for nine years, I have met many women who were more masculine in appearance than I was, who came into the store where I worked with their husbands. The thing that I noticed was that they were confident in their gender and self identity. I have learned that what a person feels deep inside, with all their heart, will manifest itself for the world to see.
It is not easy by any means being a woman, let alone being a man. Let your daughter know that not all men are pricks to avoid and not all males can be knights in shinning armor or a prince charmming. Share with her some of your experiences of growing up as a female. Please don’t reject her as my family did to me, during this time in her life.
This, from a sister who has been where she is now,
