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 want to go shorter but I don’t think I’m brave enough… tips please?
Wow, you’re a very beautiful lady. You hair is short already and a bit shorter would probably look fine.
Here is another style I love to wear,, Kiszez

I love you Lucille, you rock my world. I absolutely love feeling and looking so pretty, all thanks to you for bringing out the details that make the difference between passing and “what was that?”
Even though I am no youngster any more, I am lucky to have a face that doesn’t require too much hiding. But I admit, that your advice is correct.
I have worn sideswept bangs for years, but lately I have become more brave to wear shorter hair styles.

Hello from Erika
I’ve had a number of hairpieces. This one
has been my favorite for a long time.
Hi Lucille,
Long hair is beautiful but I love shorter hair because it is easy to manage. For an older person like me at over 60 years old I am more comfortable with shorter hair. During my younger years I had long hair and I used to wear a pony tail. Long hair looks good and beautiful for younger people but for an old lady like me, I believe shorter hair is better.
Love,
Cynthia
