Title: Hair Cut?
Post by: Dan-ization on May 02, 2011, 03:02:51 PM
Ok so I decided that soon I'm going to take the plunge and get my hair cut, I just don't know what hair cut to get!

Heres a pic in case people want to see (nowhere near passing!)

My hair is naturally brown, the blonde is growing out anyway, so if my hair were to be cut short, the blonde would go. My parents won't be too happy at all, but I'm at uni and not living with them, so they won't be able to do anything about it!

I'm thinking that I would rather have an andro look as opposed to completely male, I know that wouldn't help me pass, but let's be honest I don't pass anyway! And anyway most of my clothes are 'feminine' so I'd be shooting myself in the foot, having to buy a whole new wardrobe in the space of a few days.

Anyway I'll quit ranting, any opinions would be great.

I would suggest a 'pixie cut'. That's how I (and many other ftms) wore my hair during the early transition/andro time frame. I'm not sure if your hair is naturally straight or if you like having bangs at all, but I'm partial to them so these are the pictures I'll link:

Just for the record, I think you'll pass just fine minus the hair & makeup, and let your eyebrows grow out. :) I also really like that jacket. Good luck!

Hi Bexico, check your post, I think you used male too many times!

Agree. To throw additional hair styles in; i have no idea about hair style names, but i suggest you print out a photo of a few & see what your hair cutter says. If you're willing to try wax then i suggest Black and White Wax (Amazon/Ebay).

Yes! Black and White Wax is great, and smells good too.
