Try a hairstyle similar to this. You have the perfect face structure for it.

^ what she said. A fringe is generally a good idea for us trans women

[Guest Emily_MI]

A fringe? Sorry if I am not up on the lingo yet LOL.....I love that hair style actually that Reese Witherspoon has so that is a good idea for me to see how that works for me. I am going to see a new stylist that was recommended for me that does A LOT of work with the trans community and is suppose to be AMAZING in finding the right look for that individual so this will be a good idea to show her this style and see what she thinks! Thank You.

Fringe is the word British and Australians use for bangs. I think you look great but agree that bangs will look really good. Females tend to have lower hairlines and bangs also soften the contours of the face while emphasizing the eyes. Your eyes are really pretty and the expression in them so womanly bangs would be jut perfect that way I think

et us know how seeing that stylist turn out and I'd love to see pics of what she does

I think the best thing about the new pics is how much more open and filled your smile is in the pictures!

[Guest Emily_MI]

People say that I have a very pretty smile, which I know I need to smile a lot more since it does help with being able to pass successfully. I have a tendency to naturally frown a lot which I know is not very appareling, but it is something that I am well aware of and trying to make a mental note of this and try not to do this.

I have the same problem, people tell me I have a beautiful smile!... But outside of smiling, I look frowny.

I, also, have worked on being more neutral or leaning towards a smile when the cogwheels of the brain aren't turning. It seems to have had an effect, as I no longer get the ''are you okay? you look upset'' comments.

Smiling helps a lot, I do like the pose you have in your avatar. It's very natural, the hair is very natural. You pull it off well. Also, cute guitar.

I had the same issue of people asking me if everything was OK or if I were upset? It happened actually when I was out my first time as Emily at a drag club in the Detroit area. A few other girls walked up to me and asked if I were OK? Trying to naturally smile more actually takes a lot of effort because for the better part of my life I just naturally frowned.

I agree. Bangs would frame your pretty face so well. Go for it!
