How Am I Going To Wear My Hair

[Guest sleeping chrysalid]

I'm starting to grow my hair out and I expressed some concerns about the patterns of growth and genetics but assuming everything works out fine, how should I wear it.

I'm trying to find some kind of balance with a very specific amount of notoriety. I don't want it to be so messy that it is utterly masculine no matter how long it is. I also want to go just so far into looking feminine so that it is slightly feminine and will change peoples opinions about me but not take things too far. It's about stretching acceptability so that people can still adjust. It's like the baby step idea. It needs to be somewhere in between but preferably closer to female hair.

Any suggestions on styles as well as instructions for achieving certain looks would be much appreciated. Thank you so much.

I think asking a stylist would be your best bet. Unless I could have access to you and your features (and not just photos) would I have a good idea. There are also styles that both men and women can rock. Overall I think this is a more personal decision, but fortunately one that has a large number of right answers.

good luck and have fun deciding. You could totally make a day of it and bring some girls along to help you decide.

You HAVE to go to a stylist. Tip: find stylists who work in the "artistic" community -- who are used to working on actors, dancers, etc. They tend to be very open minded about styling. Simply tell them that you're letting your hair grow out, and would like a "unisex" style or even be honest and let them know you'd like something more feminine. Believe me -- they're used to that!

Do not worry about male hair too much being all messy honestly if you take care of your hair it can look amazing even better than a females. There is this boy in my school who's hair is long medium length and he wears it in a ponytails everyday. He took out the ponytail and his hair was legit amazing looked 100x better than a males or females hair. If you are concerned about how your hair looks still you are going to have to use a lot of products.

In the shower it will be Conditioner, shampoo, conditioner, preferable a damage resistant conditioner.

Once you are out of the shower towel dry your hair and use an all day (stay in)conditioner, which you can find anywhere. You can straighten your hair which overall makes it a bit more feminine. But as the others said

when I was in my androgynous stage I had a chin-length textured messy bob... grew out nicely and let me pass as a boy or a girl
