Just completely confused.

Solution to long hair=feminine : Dreadlocks.

I know a fellow who's transition included locking up his hair.
I'm a Drag King with long dreads.

Just a suggestion, if ya don't want to cut.

You don't have to wear black and baggy to look masculine. Layers work, a nice blazer for example. I'm not transgender but I love wearing ties and always feel more masculine in them. Certain shoes make a difference... like a wing tip style. I guess a more "dashing" look appeals to me.

Many men have long hair, so don't stress that too much. Hair tied back in a bun with a slick side part would look great with a nice button down shirt and tie. You could also add some temporary burns or a stach for fun.

Marlene Dietrich had some great masculine looks. Of course, there was no mistaking her feminitity, but I think it's a good place to start to get some ideas. You don't have to look like a frumpy man to look like a man

That is an interesting alternative solution. What do you recommend for lads with a similar probblem, but do not want to look like a total nelly, as far as fashion is conserned?

Thanks for all the positive replies again guys It does help, really.
I've actually had dreads twice before and it doesn't work well for me at all.. so I've given up on that for now.

@MeowKat, I enjoy that style a lot, especially on a FTM I didn't wear baggy clothes just to look more masculine, it was just the whole "goth" scene back then that I fell into at the same time. But it did help to hide my breasts.

I do the hair tied back thing more often lately. found a cute outfit that makes me appear a bit more masculine in my closet... but I probably won't feel right until I get a job and get new clothes.

Again thanks for the support

Oh never mind. My boyfriend is actually in the process of breaking up with me.

I'm sorry to hear that. Is the reason he's breaking up with you because of what you told him about having transgender feelings?

That's what he was saying, but he's admitted to it being an excuse. I don't know what's going on with him but it's not because of me haha! :P

Guy hair? What is that really? I had long hair most of the time when I was younger. Split it down the middle and wear a headband around it like a biker and you look guy like. There really isn't a guy hair style other than to do as little with it as possible. Dreads are not always the answer as they are difficult to keep clean. Guys just usually comb/brush it out and do something to hold it out of their eyes. Not much more to it than that. In essence - simple is better with the hair issue. Your biggest problem is that most feminine types have fairly soft suple skin and that is off key from what men usually have. Men do not use creams and lotions except perhaps on the hands. No perfect manicures and definitely no clean and perfect pedicures. Act like you only own about 4 or 5 t-shirts and 2 pairs of jeans and you're on the right track. and a guy pony tail starts at the back of the neck not high on the head. And NEVER let anyone givev you directions or advice without acting like they infringed upon your manhood! Good luck dude.
