Passing And Wig Help!

Hi Sugar! First of all you have gorgeous feminine features!! Less make-up rather than more is better. Of your wig choices I prefer the first as it would frame your face. You don't need a shag of hair hanging down over your forehead and detracting from those beautiful eyes of yours. You might experiment with lip gloss. Either a darker red shade or a light pink shade.

Advice from someone who used to have hair just like you. Grow it out. You look like you have some rich full hair. Just grow it out, give it some volume and you'll have the sexiest hair around.

-Nik

P.S. It'll take a while but just be patient and trim the split ends every few months. And if you ever try dying it I would recommend a Brown-Burgandy. It would compliment your eyes. <3

The wig in the big pic is a nice style. With wigs the number 1 rule is "less is more" for looking realistic. Most don't because they are just too much hair-too over the top. The one you like looks good however.

I also recommend going into a beauty supply store-and there are lots of guys who are hairdressers and go in them so don't be shy if in male mode. I saw 3 other men in one I was in a couple of weeks ago-and using the hair swatch samples in the hair color section to check what colors go with your skin before ordering a wig. That is also a huge factor in how the wig looks. And you just can't tell without seeing the color against your skin. I think there is a Sally's in just about every medium size town

Or go to a wig store and try them on. You don't have to buy there but you'll know what works for you. They are used to it in most wig stores and won't bat an eye no matter what mode you are in

Hope this helps

I think you should just use clip-on hair extensions. They are FAR more realistic looking! your hair is the perfect length and color to just add clip-on pieces to. If you need specifics on making them or buying them, let me know.

I was curious about other people's opinions on my dilemma. I am 33 & MtF, I have started to see hair loss and have been shaving my head. My Ex says she thinks I should keep shaving my head & just use wigs until I can save enough to get the hair fixed up nice. Does anyone have experience with this? I really want my own hair but I think it would just be a bad idea at this point.

Aries, I don't recall if you're on hormones yet or not. T-blockers can sometimes slow male pattern baldness, and docs often prescribe Finesteride as a T-blocker. It is also the main ingredient in Propecia, the baldness medicine. I've been taking it for over a year, and it has not helped me (in the hair department, anyway). But it doesn't work on everyone. You may get lucky.

Wigs aren't great, but hair implants are ridiculously expensive, and good quality wigs can look very real, and very pretty. I like mine a lot, and get a lot of compliments on it. So take heart, it's better than being the lady with the crew cut. :o

Thank you Carolyn :)

I guess I'll have to try that.

by the way ... I got a good chuckle from the "Lady with the crew cut" joke.

Have a great day & thanks again!

Hugs!

Aries,

I am 37 and I have concluded that while I would love real hair as well, it's just not going to happen for me. I have to agree that a great looking wig is the way to go. I decided I won't spend less than $100. I really like the Raquel Welch wig I bought from http://www.bestwigoutlet.com .

hi everyone ive been wondering lately if i could pass so i thought id ask on here.

this is my first attempt at makeup by myself, im goin to ask my gf if she can help me and teach me. im wondering if you guys could suggest some wig styles and colors that would look good. im my mind a medium long wig with blond highlights. please help!

I think you're off to a great start and have feminine features. It looks like you could grow your own hair out a little more if you wanted to and it would look great.

I am by no means a fashionista but I like your style! GO WITH THE THIRD WIG. 'tis mah fav. ^.^

Here's some others you might like- I use this website for anime wigs... >.> But they have excellent quality wigs and many colors.

This is the index for medium-long styles: http://www.amphigory.com/wigs-medium-long.html (don't worry about the color- click on the image and you'll see their options for colors)

This is one I thought you'd like: http://www.amphigory.com/wigs_fy_touchable_tease.html

You can chose your own levels of blond to streak- not just one color. :D

Overall yeah, I would say to try and grow your hair out, but wigs are fun. ^.^

As far as make-up, you have an amazingly, beautifully round face- take advantage of it! I don't know how- but I bet some make-up magician would be able to highlight some areas or bring out the rosy in those cheeks? You also have great lips. I really don't know much about make-up to make up decisions (ha, a pun) about what colors would look good on you unless you tried it out first and saw it. >< Maybe a brownish-copper-reddish-thing? *shrug*

Your eyebrows are very clean-shaven and sharp, but I might arch them up a bit to make your eyes look bigger.

ioono. You've got so much potential- I just wish I could give the right advice! ><

Good luck! :D

A) trust me, extensions. I regret not having them when my hair was longer :(

B) Invest in a good anti-wrinkle cream (Olay does it best). I'm getting one too, I think its the wrinkles and tired, non-elastic look that does you such great injustice :)

      Only three, maybe four, sections even mention transgender.  Most is a conservative agenda I have no problem with.   In the sections that mention transgender, there are very few lines.  Those lines ARE problematic, in every case. Unequivocally.  I can't see some of them standing up in court.  In one case a recommended policy goes against a court decision, which strongly suggests the implementation of that policy would be stopped in court.    Anyone maintaining that this is written simply to support Trump, to support him becoming a dictator, to crush transgender people is feeding you a line.  Nor is it an attempt to erase transgender people.   People will have to decide if the overall goals are worth the few problematic statements.  Overall, I support it.  Of course, I have some reservations.

      It is unfamiliar, therefore threatening.   For 90% or so of the population, gender id can be simply and quickly determined by a quick anatomical observation.  They have no understanding and cannot imagine what it would mean to have a body different from the id.  It is unimaginable.  Therefore, wrong.   So there is this strong headwind.   I haven't entered this discussion, but here is a script: A: I can't imagine what it must be to have TG. B: You're a man, right? A: Well, of course. "amused" B: Imagine you were required by law and custom to wear women's clothing all the time. A: It wouldn't happen. B: Okay, but for the sake of the argument... A: That would be disgusting.  I would be very uncomfortable. B: You have it.  That is what TG people go through all the time. 24-7-365. A: Really? B: And then they are told they are perverts for having those feelings.  The same you just described. A: I see. B: And someone comes along and tells you you need conversion therapy so you will be comfortable wearing women's clothing all the time. A: I think I would break his nose. B: You understand transgender folk better than you think.

      I have found some people correlate TG = child predator ... just as some have correlated homosexual = child predator...    I am baffled by the TG = unsafe connection ... my wife tends to think this way, that this is all about sexual deviancy ... I try to ask how my preference for wearing frilly socks with embroidered flowers and a comfortable camisole under my lavender T-shirts is sexually deviant (or sexual anything) but I don't get very far...

      Best wishes to you as you take this step ... many blessings to you!

      Not sure.  The perp is a minor.  The problem here is NOT transgender, the problem here is incompetent and criminal administration.  See https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/family-of-loudoun-co-student-sexually-assaulted-ineptitude-of-all-involved-is-staggering/3231725/ It is more than annoying that people think the problem here is TG and that other people think the solution is some stupid statewide law.  Like an appendectomy to deal with an ingrown toe nail.    Since Loudon, I recall a boy was asked not to use the girl's restroom at a high school by one of the girls.  He, overwhelming her with height and weight,  assaulted her, claiming he had a right to be there.   Later I think eight girls beat him severely in another girl's restroom.  Again the problem is not transgender, the problem is assaults in restrooms and common courtesy.  TG is used as a smokescreen and it seems to paralyze thought among administrators who do not want to do anything to provoke controversy.

      Time to get with your Primary Care doctor and be referred to a neurologist or an orthopedist.  It could be many things, too many for any of us here to guess at.

      Other than the Boy Scout motto, oath, and law. I use two:   When asked how I'm doing? In all honesty I reply. I would have to make something up to complain. If asked to explain further: I reply. I know someone is having a tougher time than I am, and I pray God blesses them.   I also recite this quote that I have tagged in my signature: Courage, doesn't always roar. Sometimes it's the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow."-Unknown    Saying these things daily keep me motivated.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      If this goes on, I am conceding the real possibility of being stopped in WM or somewhere by a concerned citizen who tells me, "Lady, God made you female.  I don't think you should be trying to look like a man. You need to return to your true gender and be comfortable living your life out as a woman."   Begin odd and awkward conversation.  I have been thinking about this this morning.

      There are many MAGA GOP types who are not transphobes, of course. Some MAGA GOP types are transgender.

      I'm hoping to read the next section today.  Many of the reforms they are calling for are good, such as expediting the military procurement process, and have nothing to do with transgender issues.

      Good afternoon,    I have a young friend who is vegetarian and married to a full on meat eater. They have two areas of their grill clearly designated for their different cooking requirements. When she’s cooking she uses tongs or chopsticks to handle any meats. When he’s cooking he respects her request not to cook her meals on the side where meat has been. They get along fine and respect each other.    When she attends our house, she usually brings her own food, but knows I will clean my grill to meet her requirements. We love and respect her commitment to be vegetarian. I love that she trusts me to make her comfortable when visiting us. There are ways to make it work.    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
