(Pre-T) Help with haircuts?

[Guest JJarmon]

Hey there, guys! I'm new to the forums. My name is John. I'm getting a haircut tomorrow or the next day before seeing my gender therapist and I was hoping if I could get some help finding some hairstyles? I'm getting testosterone in about a month from now, so I'm aware that I don't pass yet and I'm not expecting to, but I'd like to feel more masculine. Dysphoria & insecurity has been killing me lately and getting that confidence boost would help substantially. I usually like men's medium long hairstyles (as a musician) and it generally helps me hide my face more, but suggest anything. I'll attach some photos so you can see what would look good on me. I don't have any recent ones, these were all taken last year and my depression shows in them, so I'm sorry about that. Anyway, thanks for helping me out!

To be completely honest, I am open and honest with my hair dresser. I advised her I was transitioning and she has just styled my hair accordingly with male hairstyles. You might want to check out some websites for hairstyles based on your face shape, though, and look at the men's section. I would say you have an oval shaped face but I'm also quite tired and it could be considered diamond.

From what I can see in your photos, you have a fairly oval face shape, and according to a majority of hairdressers and from what I was taught in training, this face shape is very versatile, meaning that it suits most, if not all hairstyles.

I personally think its important to choose a style that you like rather than which one will help you pass more, however if passing is your main focus, here are a few things I've learned;
cutting the hair too short can make certain features of the face more prominent, and for most ftms it can make them look more feminine, however this mainly refers to very cropped hair that is close to the scalp.

I think the length looks nice on you and you look quite masculine already. If you'd like to keep it long perhaps you could get some layers cut in to switch things up a bit.

Don't be afraid to ask your hairdresser for some advice, I'm sure they would be happy to help you

I'd leave it longish, at least on top. Maybe clean up any faux sideburns, but with that long of bangs/top of the head hair, that doesn't show anyway.
