    Well i have some doubts about my hair so what do you people think..
    I want to look more androgynous, what should i do with it..
    btw normally my hair is not so curly/wavy but i had it in a braid all day so thats why it looks like this now..

    I also bought some concealing make-up today but i have to practice first before i can post a picture of me with concealer on.
    Any other tips besides the hair are also welcome of course

    Neat hair! I suggest try out some girly girly hairstyles maybe. I had my hair cut today, cutting my bangs so that it's forehead length. Actually, about 1 h after leaving the barbers', I was playing with my sister and some kids, and one girl looked at me long and hard and said "Are you a guy or a girl?"

    I suggest also a really clean shave. I shave every morning, even going to get me one of those electrical ones.

    Crossdressing and makeup are also key, at least to me, in passing as non-male.

    Okay. What kind of (can't find the English word) razor(?) do you use? There are these (women's I think maybe?) ones that are you know, really baby smooth, at least theoretically ^^ concealers are good, too.

    I actually like to be a bit overly femme sometimes... like I where my hair in girly girly balls or something and maybe with a pink hair clip. Standard high girl buns can also do wonders.

    Also, how one holds oneself is key. I often walk with a bit of a 'female strut' etc...

    Also, again I recommend light (or more, if you wish) makeup, maybe some lip gloss an an eyeliner :slight_smile:

    I agree with the different hairstyle, that will prob help lots :slight_smile: Plus that little bit of makeup should soften your features a bit :slight_smile:

    Oh, and also, penta, I recommend a pair of women's sunglasses :slight_smile: you wear regular ones, so I guess wear a pair over them, or maybe one of those you put on your normal glasses... anyways, I feel comfy and andro in women's sunglasses :slight_smile:

    Thanks for the tips, i'm saving money at the moment to buy new glasses for regular and sun. I'm going to try to get a more girly model because this one is pretty masculine indeed.
    Curling my hair is something i never thought of... maybe try it out ... see if i ca. Borrow a curling iron...
