5 MTF Crossdressing Hairstyle Mistakes to Avoid

As MTF crossdressers, our hair can make or break our look. We strive to achieve the perfect hairstyle to help us pass and feel feminine. However, sometimes we can make mistakes that can ruin our look.

One of the most common hairstyle mistakes that we make as MTF crossdressers is choosing the wrong wig color and size. When choosing a wig, consider your facial features and skin tone. You also want to ensure that the wig looks natural and is not too synthetic.

Let’s talk about these MTF crossdressing hairstyle mistakes to avoid.

1. Choosing The Wrong wig Hair Color

As closet queens, this is one of those mistakes that we make often. Choosing the wrong wig color can easily out you as a crossdresser. It can also kill any chance of you looking like a woman.

The most important thing to remember when choosing a wig color is that it should match your skin tone. If you have a dark complexion, choose a darker shade.

Another thing to keep in mind is the style of the wig. If you’re going for a more natural look, choose a wig with layers and highlights.

Finally, don’t be afraid to experiment! Try different colors and styles until you find the perfect one for you. With so many options available, there’s no reason to settle for anything less than the perfect wig.

2. Opting For The Wrong wig Style

When I started as a crossdressing sister, this was a frequent mistake for me. I didn’t know the wig styles that matched my head. And I ended up looking like a clown. That was until I discovered the importance of wig style.

There are three main wig styles available: short, medium, and long. And each is better suited for different occasions. As a general rule of thumb, shorter wigs are more casual while longer wigs are more formal.

Medium wigs fall somewhere in between. They’re versatile and can be worn for both casual and formal occasions. But if you’re unsure about what wig style to choose, I always recommend starting with a medium-length wig.

Once you’ve decided on the length, the next step is to choose a style that matches your face shape. Again, there are three main face shapes: oval, round, and square.

Oval faces are versatile and can pull off almost any wig style. If you have an oval face, you’re lucky! You can pretty much choose any style you want.

On the other hand, round faces look best in shorter wigs that don’t add too much volume around the cheeks. Square faces also look best in shorter styles that don’t add too much width around the jawline.

Now that you know the basics of choosing a wig style, let’s look at some specific styles that are popular among MTF crossdressers.

The Pixie Cut is a short, boyish style perfect for those with round or square faces. It’s also low-maintenance and easy to style.

The Bob is a classic style that’s suitable for all face shapes. It can be worn short or medium-length, depending on your preference.

The Pageboy is another classic style that looks good on all face shapes. It’s a bit longer than the Bob and can be worn with or without bangs.

The Bowl Cut is a short, pixie-like style perfect for those with round or square faces. It’s also low-maintenance and easy to style.

The Afro is a statement style perfect for those with oval or heart-shaped faces. It adds volume and interest to your look but can be high-maintenance.

The Mullet is a controversial style perfect for those with oval or square faces. It’s a bit edgy and outrageous, but it can be lots of fun to wear.

As you can see, there are plenty of wig styles to choose from. And the best way to find the right style for you is to experiment and have fun! Try different styles and see which ones make you feel your best.

One final tip: when shopping for wigs, always look for those made from high-quality synthetic fibers. These fibers will mimic the natural look and feel of real hair, making your wig look more realistic.

So there you have it! These are just a few things to remember when choosing a wig style as an MTF crossdresser. Experiment and have fun! And most importantly, don’t be afraid to try something new. You might just surprise yourself.

3. Revealing Thinning or Receding Hair

This is a common mistake among most MTF crossdressers I come across. I’ve also had the same problem before but learned how to handle it. Revealing thinning or receding hair is a big no-no and can kill the whole look you’re trying to achieve.

There are a few ways to deal with this issue. The first is to use a nice wig. Wigs are great because they can give you the look of full, thick hair without having to worry about your own thinning or receding hair. Another option is to use hair extensions. Extensions can also add volume and thickness to your hair, giving you the illusion of fuller, thicker hair.

The last option is to simply embrace your thinning or receding hair. This might sound counter-intuitive, but hear me out. Accepting that your hair is thinning or receding won’t bother you as much when people see it. You might even find that you’re more confident with your thinning or receding hair.

So there you have three options for dealing with thinning or receding hair as an MTF crossdresser. Choose the one that works best for you and rock it!

4. Wearing a Cheap or Worn Out Wig

You want to be a flashy drag queen, right? Well, you should avoid cheap and worn-out wigs. Instead, go for quality wigs that will make you look your best.

Most closet queens think they can buy any old wig, which will magically make them look fabulous. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Cheap wigs often look fake and worn out, which can ruin your whole look.

Instead, invest in a quality wig that is made from real hair. This will ensure that your wig looks natural and stylish. Plus, it will last much longer than a cheap wig, so you can save money in the long run.

So, invest in a quality wig if you want to be a fabulous crossdresser, closet queen or drag queen! Your crossdressing journey will thank you for it.

How do you know that your wig is worn out? There are several signs that it’s time to replace your wig. First, check to see if the hair is matted or tangled. If so, it’s time for a new wig. Second, take a look at the lace front. If it’s starting to fray or peel off, it’s also time for a new wig. Finally, check the overall condition of the wig. If it looks dry or damaged, it needs to be replaced.

If you’re unsure whether your wig is worn out, take it to a professional stylist and have them take a look at it. They’ll be able to tell you for sure if it needs to be replaced.

So, there you have it! Now you know why you should avoid cheap and worn-out wigs as an MTF crossdresser. Stick to quality wigs, and you’ll look your best. Trust me, your crossdressing journey will thank you for it!

5. Wearing a Wig Too High or Too Low on Your Forehead

This is another common mistake we make as crossdressing sisters. Wearing your wig too high on your forehead will make you look like you’re trying to be a little girl. It’s also very unflattering and can make your face look rounder.

On the other hand, wearing your wig too low on your forehead can make you look like a man in drag. Neither of these looks is attractive or feminine. The key is to find the middle ground. Wear your wig so it sits just above your eyebrows and frames your face nicely. This will give you a more polished and feminine look.

So there you have it! Five hairstyle mistakes to avoid as a crossdresser or drag queen. By following these tips, you can be sure to look your best wether crossdressing indoor or out and about. So, avoid these common mistakes, and you’ll be sure to look fabulous!
