I'm determined to get maroon streaked hair
Any non bald color.
A brunette maybe with some highlights. What is appropriate is a mature lady grey.

I don't mind my hair color, dark brown. I would like having it be slightly lighter, as it was before puberty. I would have an easier time dying it bright colors if that were the case.
Dark brown with red, auburn, or blonde highlights or dark red/auburn hair.

Ooohh, so tempted to try blonde.
It's seems like such abuse on the hair though..
I would be natural blond but I got a black wig as a gift and I really like it. Black as my heart and soul. [emoji6]
I might try some dark brown in the future...
Blond.
Coppery red, but it's not much of a secret.
Brown with red Highlights or Strawberry Blonde.
I'd love to get light brown or blond.
I Had brown with just a hint of reddish in it all my life. Now I have a much more red color. Actually Lorial Feria #45. ;D
About a month ago my family was together for my grandpas birthday. Sitting around the table my grandma said to my mom. "Wasn't his hair darker? Now it looks like <insert my uncles name here> used to be." To which I responded "Yes but it used to be a lot greyer too." Grandma laughed at that.
My natural super dark brown, nearly black color. Just without so much damn gray in it.
Not sure if I can get away with dying it just yet, boy mode sucks.
I absolutely wish the hair color on my profile pic was my natural color. I am blonde. I have some red highlights and was born a redhead. I have a pretty shade of blonde, but I adore the red. One of my daughters is a copper red and her hair is just gorgeous.

Red, fiery red ,cuff and collar :)
My hair is blue, and I love it.
I want to start dying mine either Auburn or near black, but for now I'm more concerned with getting to to thicken up and not too worried about it's color. I'll start worrying about that hopefully a few months down the road.
I may dye some of my locs burgundy! I think that would look pretty!
I like silver grey. I won't dye it though, just buy it, so I can try out lots of different colours in the wig shop:)
I haven't had my normal light brown hair for many, many years. I like the grey. But I really would love to have auburn hair like my kindergarten classmate Lynda. She was so dang gorgeous it made my eyes hurt.
I want to have more fun, so blonde it is.
It's no secret. I want the raven blue black hair I had when I was in my preteens. Everyone would stop and have to touch my locks. It was super shiny and naturally wavy to my mid-back. And was it thick? omg was it thick. I used to envy thin haired people and wish to the gods my hair would be thin. Now I have my wish. It's still long, but nothing like the crowning glory it used to be, plus I wonder how that color would look like on me now. It's become a most darkest brown to my shoulders.
Purple streaks with my black hair. Or platinum blonde, haha!
Obviously I have to try blond, but I don't see myself keeping that, light brown is more me (naturally dark brown/black)
Darkish red or a lighter brown, my hair is dark brown at the moment.
Always a bit paranoid at the thought of dying my hair tho, been using Finasteride and Minoxidil due to my hairline starting to go but caught it early and I worry about the hair dye damaging my hair follicles or something, had a work colleague at my old job who bleached her hair and it went terribly wrong and her hair never seemed to recover, she always complained about it being dry and thin.
Tempted to go with blonde hair and light purple or pink streaks. Im half way there.
I am going dark red when I go full time. If I were 21 it would be purple.

I've had blonde highlights for the last few years, more natural color for a woman at my age, I get the touch up done every 4 to 6 weeks, strong colors don't suit me, I went for beige last time, it's natural but definitely not grey.

I don't understand why you can't dye it to whatever way you want right now. What has boy mode got to do with anything?
If you're going to transition, you're going to be breaking a few societal barriers anyway. What difference does men dying their hair make? Lots of them do anyway.
I read someone else say they couldn't pluck their eyebrows because 'boy mode'. Why? Salons are filled with men who intend to stay male lining up to have their eyebrows shaped and tinted.
I am a natural brunette, i have been tempted in the past to go blonde, I ended up having blonde streaks done.
Blue!

Long before I ever started any sort of transition I dyed my hair to eliminate any trace of grey that might be creeping in. I'm not sure anybody even noticed; they never made any comments. On those occasions when I forced myself to have facial hair I dyed that also to help it look filled in.
Now I regularly dye my hair. I still don't have a lot of grey except at the temples but I just don't like seeing it. My usual color is dark blond to light brown which is similar to my natural color.

Copper red, maybe a little toward the orange side. It's not so secret, though. I have an appointment to get it done two weeks from now.

I agree that there's nothing real to fear. But that doesn't mean the fear itself isn't real.
Many of us grew up in families with much more restrictive gender roles than average. We learned that being a man meant not caring about appearance -- brows, grey hairs, nails, clothing, and so on. That stuff was all girly vanity. And if we were trying to hide, we ran away from it.
It can be very hard to break that conditioning. I grew up in the suburban post-disco 80s, and I've had to separately tackle fear of ear piercings, eyebrow shaping, nail shaping, and hair styling. Each of them felt like a very big deal, though of course in the end, nobody ever noticed of it.
I normally had ash blond hair (when I didn't have MPB), but I would love to have raven black hair, or just black hair with crimson highlights.
i'm with Laurie.... (About) any non-bald color is far better then what has haunted me since 14. I am partial to red, my moms, and to auburn with redish highlights. Blond is OUT for sure, I am a horrid looking blond. Don't have the right coloration for it (Engineer's pallor aside). Brownish is/was my natural color after starting as a blond.
<---That color right there. The wig I'm wearing in my avatar pic is the color that I'd really like to get to. My natural hair is a bit darker. I'm debating between an all at once shift once my own hair is long enough or possibly making a slow gradual shift toward that color. I haven't decided yet.

Feminism would cure most of this in terms of ridiculous binary stereotypes that damage potential and smother personal interest.
The 80s post disco era had New Romantics. That was your chance ;)

I understand that, too, even though I was born in the '80s. I mean, does anybody remember that having your right ear pierced meant you were somehow gay? Or that if you did anything to make yourself aesthetically pleasing (as a guy) meant that you were gay? Clearly, my experiences were centered around not trying to let anybody think I was gay, but they were borne out of the homophobic attitudes that people displayed around me. It's part of why it took me so long to accept that I'm a transgender woman.
Yep, born in the 80s here too, I remember the earring thing after I got a set of clip ons at some point. Still working on breaking all my conditioned responses to things. Dying my hair isn't one though, any weird color you want, so long as it isn't pink, purple, or a natural color, lol.

But pink and purple hair is *awesome*! :D

Vaguely. And it was stupid and not particularly rigidly enforced at the time too.
Few of the super straight boys I went to school with had any problem in topping up their tans, informing registration class that their lighter hair was a two-for-one at the salon their mother went to, toting their gym kits around in designer shopping bags, or wondering out loud why otherwise popular Nick didn't pluck his monobrow.
Deborah's quote 'conform and be dull' is about right.
I would love platinum Blonde
Either Ariel red or snow white (no pun intended XD)
I want silver/white hair and some lavender highlights, but keep my dark eyebrows. Hair like Zoe Quinn.
Hot pink.
....if I was half my age. I'm very happy with my redish-brown dye I just started using. My normal color was medium brown with copious amounts of gray. :(
One of the first things I did after deciding to transition was (other than dye my hair) have my eyebrows done at a salon. Mine were large, bushy, and there was a very stubborn unibrow problem (I've shaved the center every single morning for 15 years!). The girl who did them was very friendly & had no problem working on men (or when I asked for a shape suitable for a man or woman).
I'll also say that NO ONE noticed!! >:( I mean, yeah I don't want everyone to know I'm transitioning, but it would be nice if SOMEONE of my friends or family noticed. The difference was huge to me! Most people just really don't pay attention to what other people look like.
I've been admiring both pink and violet hair for some time.
I love love love my natural blond! I always dreamed of having it long and now I finally get to, haven't cut it in five years and it's to the middle of my back now...another dream come true 😊

Of natural colours, I'd like to keep my greyish blonde, as I've been told that it looks beautiful by quite a many people. I've thought of dyeing it all either red or black, but eventually I decided against it, even though pretty much everybody here has the same hair colour.
As for entirely artificial colours...green. Specifically a darker seaweed green. For reasons.
with Laurie , any colour but skin, like the wig but should be grey for my age. need a new wig for when I come out fully
I'm quite keen to try blonde, and if I could pull it off I would want to go dark red
My hair had blue streaks in for a while but now gone a coppery colour ( see avatar)

My hair has gone mostly gray depending on the lighting. My mothers hair is still a very dark brown and you can calculate her age. The problem is her hair naturally is two tone so she is forced to color it so it looks good. There is nothing wrong with an older woman using a natural hair color so I stay stick with your current color as it works well.
I've had pink, and I loved it, but it lasts for so little... it saddens me, so to stop ruining my hair I dyed it red, that color lasts for an eternity.
