i'll show y'all what that looks like tomorrow.
being 100% fem and having long hair is nice, but i'm getting pretty tired of dealing with it.
time to put some change into my look.
plus if none of y'all know what Houston is like in the summer, be glad you don't.
Yeah they are great for the heat. You're obviously very pretty and will pull it off.
Don't do it Joey!!!! Your gonna regret it, trust me! You finally have the look you wanted why change it? Don't do it! Your beautiful and can probably pull the pixie cut off but your gonna want your hair back and remember that it takes forever to grow. Save yourself the grief don't do it!
Luv you!

I guess she's already made up her mind? But if not, maybe a shoulder length cut first (to see if that's manageable enough) would do.
I recommend you really really think about it hard. Because you know, hair takes an eternity and a half to grow (not to mention it gets awkward several times mid-way), and I read pixie cuts were the most risky of all, and not just for trans people.
But if you're sure, hey, why not? If you can pull it off, that just means you're even cuter than I thought! And if you have unbearable heat where you are, it'll probably be comfortable, yeah. :3
haha well i won't be doing anything tomorrow after all.
but next week i'll have the choice again if i wanna go through with it :P
Jenny: hahaha i know, hair does take a while to grow out! took me about 2 years to get it to where it is now (almost to my nipple) but i'm honestly feeling a call for a change. i don't know i'll be thinking about it!!!
You could also tell a hairdresser you feel like changing, and they might have interesting suggestions. Might. It could also be poop~

I think a lot of girls here would kill to have hair at your length, which is why they're like nooooo don't do it. But if you really must! xD Dying your hair can be a dramatic change as well, especially if it's a colour you've never done before. If I were in your shoes I'd actually get extensions and make my hair longer! Hahahaha :P
lol you two are silly.
Biotin is very good for your hair, its pretty much steroids for it.

if i like the way it looks, i'm gonna keep it short. :)
If you want to have a shorter hair cut that's fine. But remember, it DOES take a while to grow back. I have been taking biotin for about 2 weeks and can say that it only does so much. I used to have longer hair and loved it, but I was forced to cut it. Now, I am trying desperately to get it long again. So, make sure you are really comfortable with the fact that it might take a while for your hair to grow again. If you are okay with that and really want a pixie cut, than I'm sure everything will be fine. :)
yeah, i'm actually getting it today rofl.
i really do want short hair. i'm tired of it being long.
Good luck! I hope it comes out really good.
I hope it works! And anyway, why am I talking in the first place? I'm pretty confident you're 1000 % better than I when it comes to style.
I feel so much lighter and happier now that all that hair is gone!
i took a few pictures for my boyfriend, if you know what i meanzz... and i think i look sexy, lol.
the lady that cut my hair even said i look a lot better with short hair, i love it guys!~
i'll post an appropriate picture for y'all to see in a bit. lol.
posted pictures of it in the "do i pass thread"
They disappeared fast.
mk check the post again.
Oh, thanks. Well as you thought, this is far from making you look like a guy again, isn't it?
(T_T I'm a butt.)
yeah, it's just a pixie cut, guise.
i think it's bc mtfs go crazy over trying to grow their own hair out, when someone else cuts theirs they feel like that one is detransitiioning or isn't "complete" anymore as a woman.
even
someone with a shaved head can still be really femme
hair is hair.
I personally don't think pixie cuts look good on women unless they have very delicate pixie like facial features. Small noses, large eyes, high cheekbones and flat foreheads. They really recommend them for heart shaped or oval faces. I would say for myself that my face is too long and my nose too large for one.
There are features like a very pronounced jaw that will make a pixie hard to pull off, but it's really more about the overall picture.
the point is, my body frame, skull size, and facial features are small and fem enough to work with short hair. :-)

(i really don't know why i'm cheesin so hard.)
You pull it off pretty good! :) I would probably go for a thinner eyebrow though to give it more of that "pixie" look
i've had so many eyebrows shapes, i've abused them by tweezing them all kinds of ways and i do partially have to fill in some bits of them that aren't ever gonna grow back LOL.
these eyebrows work the best for me.
plus the longer your face the fuller your eyebrows and the more "straight" they should be.
having thin arched eyebrows (something i've had before) doesn't help you out :/
i.e: http://i.imgur.com/w2XHX.jpg (http://i.imgur.com/w2XHX.jpg) (yes i'm on the left. >.>)
I really like your eyebrows more arched in that other pic. They are not pencil thin, which I hate. Super pencil thin eyebrows look universally terrible to me. You know what's best for you so go with what works. :) Oh and don't get me wrong you have absolutely gorgeous eyebrows in both pictures, I'm envious.

I wouldn't say that I go crazy about it or am scared about completeness as a woman, but it is true I have that annoying tendency to project onto others. Whatever scares me personally, or that I would dislike personally, I tend not to want it on others, even though I know people aren't me (and if they were, the world would have a very serious problem). So if I think I wouldn't pass (or even simply wouldn't like) a haircut, it's going to be hard for me to fight the negative bias. :/
As for a shaved head... I believe you, but I've never seen a woman with a shaved head. o:

Interesting. I had never thought of that. Though I do prefer your old eyebrows, which means they at least weren't awful for everybody! :p

Yeah, I'm quite jealous. It would be nice to know I could pull off short hair if I wanted. Sadly it's not true.
My ex shaved her head and she still passed as a woman. I shaved my head before and you know what people said: you look like one of the Manson girls. This wasn't one person; it was almost every person. So hair really doesn't matter in terms of passing but obviously longer hair will help you pass, if that makes sense. Pixie cuts rock! But I am growing my hair out so I can get an inverted bob which is hair style I have wanted since I was like 12.
I guess when you are as cute as a button you can rock any look and style! I am so jealous Joey!
I will ad that I also prefer your old thinner eyebrows much better, they look much sexier on you! :p Just my 2 cents.
How do you feel with your new cut? Gorgous I hope!
I will also admit that I think I caught the bug, ever since you started this short hair thing I am considering cutting my hair like the girl in the following picture, I think its a "bob" cut? I dunno. For work I cant wear my hair down, it has to be in a bun or pony tail and either way by our policies it can't go past my collar while in uniform. But if I get a cut like this, I won't have to pin it up and I can wear it down since it doesn't go past my collar. I believe this would give me a more cute femme look at work. Guess we will see.

That kind of cut isn't bad, even though I don't personally like it, but I think it gives a rather old look. Not old as in "outdated", but old as in "mature woman" Not necessarily negative, because I think pretty much the world minus me (and people whose youth is far behind) wants to look more mature, but I thought I'd point it out. And also see if someone will contradict me because I have no confidence in what I'm saying at all.
Also, I know most people here native English speakers, but I find that kind of cut is infintely more present/desired in English-speaking places than anywhere else including where I am. Am I imagining things? Because I've barely ever seen that kind of cut outside my TV or computer screen, when it's showing something from the US.
I say go do whatever makes you look the way you want to look, and only do what makes you happy. I read this thread, saw your Disney pics at your blog, and have to say you are light years ahead of me!
I definitely wish I could pull off short hair. Long hair is kind of annoying, mostly because of how it's always on a quest to share space with my tongue.
I'm happy that it works for you, and I'm happy that you're happy.
Uhm, if I remember your face well, Kelly, you could pull it off really well and you'd be the only one thinking you don't.

If someone cut my hair off I would probably crawl into a hole for 3 years :D I probably won't stop growing it until it's getting caught in my bicycle spokes.
The short hair looks great on you, though, celestica!
You look great with that haircut Celestica! :)
I for one would love to be able to pull off short hair, but the onset of MPB has made that an unlikely possibility, unless HRT manages to perform some sort of miracle. Oh well, maybe if it at least fills out the thin areas, and FFS works to get rid of the two male horns, I can consider getting my hair cut in that way. For now, length is needed as a covering mechanism. :-\
