Haircuts For Curly-Haired Ftm's

[Guest Masculinity]

I was thinking...since I am curly-haired...is it possible to turn a curly hair to a spiky male hairstyle? I'm blocked here...can anyone tell me what haircuts are possible to get for a curly haired FTM like me?

I'm not sure what kind of spiky hair you're looking for, but I do know that for curly hair, you can get it straightened. My neice used to straighten mine for me when I had longer hair. I would imagine that after that, you can go for the style you're looking for.

I have super curly hair. I just recently got a new haircut that's kind of faux hawk-esque - check out my thread below called 2 months on T update, it has a couple pictures.

What I really would like to know is how can a female hair be cut into a male hairstyle?

Take a look here for some ideas: http://menshair.about.com/od/picturegalleries/ig/Curly-Styles/curly01.htm

My hair texture has changed a little since I started Testosterone, but hair is hair. The possibilities for styling nowadays are unlimited. Just go to a real barber, tell them you're looking for something boyish. They'll know what to do. Of course, bringing a picture of something you like will help them, but I always just leave it up to them if I go. I say "Short" and if they can't figure out what that means, I try another place.

My hair is not VERY curly, but has an annoying curve to it. That's why I keep it very short. I've never been one to care about how my hair looks, though...too much trouble.

Things you may want to keep in mind if you need some hair tips though:

Face shape vs. hair style

Hair color vs. skin color

Working with your hair's natural movement.

Good luck.

I didn't like any of those hairstyles..I'm looking for ways on how to get any hairstyle I like even if I am curly...I heard curly haired FTM's can't have it spiked or anything

[Guest jay_r]

Any attempt I've had at trying to spike my hair failed hard. I have wavy hair that refuses to budge, so I have to settle for messing with the front part of it until I like the results.

[Guest Crossroads]

I've never spiked my hair, no affinity for gel since I did dance when I was a kid and was always gelled up.

You'd be surprised what answers you can get from talking to people. I had a friend in a class recently with dreds. A random guy came up to him and told him he'd been thinking of dreds and was unsure how to go about it. He was happy to help.

My hair is hard to tame, curly hair is like that. But anyone with curly hair will have the same issues. Barbers and hairstylists DO actually have training. They can help you with taming your hair texture. Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of experience with that, so I can be of no more help.

I have hair that is awkwardly wavy, so I just straighten it, but the daily routine of doing so is getting very old (I have to shower daily, my hair is naturally very oily). Then again I've never really gone particularly short (it's shorter but long enough where they can't use a razor to get the desired cut, so about an inch+), which I am thinking about changing. Wavy hair isn't bad when kept shorter and I'd rather just be able to shower and go without the extra 15 minutes it takes to straighten it.

Life's a lot easier when you can just rock what you've got.
