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!

I agree that this is a good look for you. Medium length hair is universally flattering, but that doesn’t mean you can’t go long!!
your hair looks great the way it is now ,i wouldn’t change a thing.I’ve had long hair my whole life and apparently my style is in the not section ,so what do i know?
I am one of the unfortunate ‘male pattern baldness’ sufferers who have left it too long before discovering who they really are.
The image is of the wig that I use (this is an image from the site that I bought it from so I’ve included the following link so nobody thinks I’ve just poached the image http://www.jennyshairsense.com ). I’m rather shy so I’ve included this image as an example, it also looks better than I do.
I tend to find that just slightly longer than shoulder length suits me as I have a rather thick neck and broad shoulders so this style seems to reduce the obviousness.

This photo is from a fashion show last week. I was a model in it, living my dreams even as I approach 59 years of age.
Going bald was part of what made me finally come out almost 4 years ago. I am happy to say I did turn that around with prescription drug, Finestride and non perscription, generic Rogaine/ Minoxidil.
When I was younger I had jet black hair. My hairdresser has selected my color that allows me to go even 3 months between colorings without the gray showing much. My hair is naturally curly and rather than fight it, I don’t even use a comb, I just run my fingers through it with some oil, light gel or even leaving in a little cream rinse after washing. This photo includes a Revelon clip in pony tail, but I am happy to say that I do not need it for hair thinness. Oh yeah, in the front I did have to give in and got 1000 hair transplants at a cost of $5000.
You look fabulous – wish I looked half as good.
