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!

My wig, not enough hair left to go natural 🙁
I am thinking about getting a shorter, more styled one that is the same color though. Thoughts? Nadiya ?
This pic is kind of my loose goal in how I want to look. Still working out the kinks in getting it all right. Nadiya

Since I don’t see my comment I hope this isn’t a duplicate.
This is my favorite currently.
Since I lost most of my hair due to not transitioning until 72yrs I have to be happy with my wigs (12 in all – lavender, sort, lavender long, black long, red short bangs, red short bangs bushy, red no bangs long, red bangs long, several short blonde ones, one long blonde one.
I tried 90 days of minoxidila and it did nothing for me.
Doubt if my estradiol is going to do anything for my hair either.
You are too cute, Lainie. I like this style on you.
This is one of my favorites. Since I transitioned at 72yrs I had already lost most of my hair with no hope of it returning.
I used a full 3month minoxidil treatment to no avail.
So I am very happy with my lovely wigs, 12 I think: red, lavender, black, blonde, platinum (the pic shown) in long and short and mostly with bangs.
Looks like Cher needs some good hair advice – she wears wigs too.
Hi Lucille,
Thank you for the wonderful site and the support you provide all of us. I use a hair system that leverages my own hair.

This is prob my best hair as of yet and was recently taken at home. Shoulder length and side part is spot on!
Best Wishes,
