subject: Transgender Hairstyles [print this page] People go to various extremes to improve their appearance. Spending hundreds of thousands on facelifts and other surgical procedures that they are likely to one day regret, people often go into drastic surgeries blind to the side effects and a change in opinion on their look at a later date.
One thing that can easily be changed is the hairstyle. This can be altered as many times as possible with a variety of different results. One thing that everyone wants is a flattering hairstyle. Something that makes them look younger and for the ladies, more feminine.
The classic female face has smaller features than others. A smaller nose, but larger eyes and more volume in the lips is what stereotypically goes down as "beautiful", however this is only true if the face is framed by the perfect hairstyle. The hair must minimise the nose, brow line, chin and jawline in order to achieve the typically perfect face, while in keeping with the proportionate size to the body.
A brilliant option for transgender women is a fringe. Providing the fringe is the right length, the eyes are the central focus and a larger brow-bone line is hidden, while the face appears younger. When the fringe is straightened and more blunt there is the risk of exposing a larger sized nose and stronger features, so if you are looking to make your face appear softer and more feminine, sweeping side fringes are the way to go.
Another hairstyle that is flattering on any face is one that includes layers. No matter what the length is of the hair, layers add dimension as well as body while softening the features of the face, making it an ideal hairstyle for those in the transgender community. Layers that frame the face also add texture to what could be dull hair, if it has been colour or chemically treated.
A very feminine hair style is one that includes waves. Adding volume to thinner hair and body to thicker, waves complete that girly, fun touch to any face. This balances out the body frame of transgender women making them appear much more delicate, and plays down any facial features.
Most women "" not only in the transgender community, prefer to keep their hair at shoulder length. This is not only easier to manage, but it is one of the latest and greatest hairstyles thanks to the celebrities of the decade. The "Barbie" look is no longer in style, and long hair drags the face down, while hair that"s too short can make the face look masculine, making shoulder length hair the perfect compromise. This is also the perfect way to disguise a thick neck and strong jaw.
