I just started growing mine out In November and I intend to let it keep growing but I need a short style to use until then, as well as my wig.  I am almost ready to ditch the wig at least some of the time so any suggestions on a  good intermediate short hair style for someone who is growing it out and doesnt intend to keep it short would be great.

Well I just got a pixie haircut and I love it. Its a great style to switch from boy to girl mode.

But a good tip is to find your face shape. Then you can look up short hairstyles that match your face.

Good luck hugs

That's really a cute style you look great! My next comment is just a general observation, but it seems that an unwritten thing with cis women is that once you hit your mid-thirties long cascading hair is for the most part out and shoulder length is the max with shorter styles being in, something to consider when one wishes to fit in to the general female population better.

I had short hair my whole life growing up, i'm reading for growing it out long for once. But I do think I would like to find a shorter hairstyle eventually that will suit me and still allow me to pass. Long hair is just a lot more work. >.>

I tried a lot of short hair styles and I never found anything that looked good/feminine on my head/neck shape. I went to this shoulder length hair and everyone I know was like "Do NOT go back to that short hair look!" I'm 52 and I don't care if most women my age have short hair, it looks horrible on me Clearly YMMV on this but for me, I'm never gonna have short hair again.

I really couldn't relate to the pictures on Websites for working out my face shape.

I found it really hard to decide, so just stood in front of the bathroom mirror, pinned my hair back and quickly  drew around my reflection with an old lipstick.  That gave me a single line drawing to more easily compare to the on-site pictures.

I settled on my current short bob style before Christmas, and have had a lot of comments that it looks much better.

I think there's nothing inherently unfeminine about the short hairstyle per se, it's all about how it is styled. Study men and women with short hair - it's styled very differently.

With short hair styles, it's also good to accessorize and wear more makeup in general.

This one seems to be pretty versatile. I've tried styling my hair all kinds of ways and it still looks good.

Alainaluvsu helped me find something that worked.

Every time I try to grow mine I get annoyed and get it cut off. I regret it striaght after but cant cope with it as it grows out
Keaira just gotta say you're looking great.

well.. I just re-colored it...
