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.

Hi everyone thanks for this blog i think it will help everyone with comments back I know I certainly look forward to hearing peoples opinion on my hairstyle…I stopped wearing wigs quite a while ago and I am allways trying new styles with my hair…so please feel free to write and let me know what you think….I have a high forhead and I am not sure if I want to commit to bangs yet so the photo with bangs is an add-on, if you have long hair you can add bangs they are very inexpensive and I would like feedback.
thanks

Thanks for all you do, Lucille! Your tips help us all. I personally like a bit longer than shoulder length, but would like to have some soft waves as well.
Thanks again!,
Dana
i have problems with my real hair but i found a nice wig in the same style you were suggesting
My natural hair is not long enough to do much with, so a bit of fun with a few hairstyles. Still learning about make up but I am gaining confidence the more I go out into the world…
hair is really short and I can’t get it to grow. If someone knows how to get my curly black locks to grow then let me know. I have not cut it in nearly a year and it is no more on top than maybe an inch.
Thank you Phylis thats very sweet!
kisses,
Amylynn
Wow you look great! gorgeous photo!
If only i could look as good .
Ms Lucille my hair isn’t long enought right now to worry about the more femine look. Its still growing. (think fast!) but i will keep your tips in mind! Danie
I think you look gorgeous. I do have a preference towards blonds.
Hugs & Kisses;
