Hey
what does everyone prefer getting a feminine haircut and style it or wearing a wig.
personally I prefer wearing a wig , more variety ( but I do have longer hair)

@abby24 I have my own hair, but could never grow it as long as I'd prefer - plus the maintenance of long hair is something I don't need on my to-do list. lol
I wear wigs, and while they're all the exact same cut/style, I have them in 3 colors which lets me match my outfit or my mood best. (and they're a whopping $20@ so easy on the budget)
My own hair? I think not. It would take a hairdresser with god-like skills to give my locks a feminine style. Firstly, they'd have to fill in all the gaps on the top and front then they'd have to stop what I have being wavy to the point of being perm-like and finally, would have to try to make it all the same colour and not the shades of black, brown, grey and white I already have (where there is any).
I have shaved my head for at least thirty years and when I tried to grow it a few weeks ago, I could see what a mess it was going to be so I shaved it off again.
My only sop to my own hair now is that I use an electric razor instead of a wet one, because it leaves a very short stubble that stops—velcro-like—my wigs moving about.
I have six wigs of varying styles and colours and I wear them as the mood takes me; can't do that with real hair.

If I still had the good hair I had in my 20s I would no doubt style it in a feminine fashion. My hair - what remains - is now salt and peppery and male pattern baldness has largely settled in, especially in the back. If I were to grow it now it would be thin and uneven, resembling more closely an aging hippie rather than the mature woman I aspire to present.
However, I am undaunted and have been enjoying wigs. I can change up the color and style at will, and there is a lot to be said for that. At present I have two wigs of decent quality as I desire as natural and believable a look in that area as I can. I wear them interchangeably, usually dependent upon what outfit I am wearing at the time or where I am going. No doubt there are more in my future. As the legendary Sam Malone ("Cheers") said "Good looks can open doors, good hair knocks them right off their hinges"! I choose to follow that philosophy, and if I no longer have the natural ability a good wig is a necessary accessory for me.
My wife won't allow me to have wigs, but she will allow me to have my hair cut in a female style.
I can't see the logic of this, but it's one of the quirks my wife has with my dressing. I have female hair. I dress female as often as I like. I'm fully out in the open, yet I can't have wigs, a girls name, nor false nails.

I have 4 wigs of various lengths and colors,all about 2 to4 years of age.My favorite wig shop closed its doors last April so that means I must{YES} find another quality shop to keep Michelle happy and looking well.Decisions,decisions,Whats a girl to do?
My hair is pretty long so I just wear it as normal
Up to about 10-12 years ago it was natural hair that I could grow out to mid length without a lot of somewhat strange looks. As I have gotten older, I keep my natural hair short and now have 4 different wigs of different styles and colors.
it allows me to mix and chance styles?
For me it's a wig every time. I can't imagine the hassle of attempting to style my own hair, and I'm sure I'd get a lot of ribbing in my drab life with long hair. Plus it's just easy to change styles at will xx.
I wear wigs but would prefer to use my natural hair, if I had started when I was younger I probably would have tried natural hair more. my hair is still curly but much thinner than when I was younger.
I still have my own hair which I have worn long for over 30 years now. Unfortunately it is getting a bit thin and every time I brush it I wonder at the amount of it that remains in the brush! Oh well 🙁
Thus, I wear wigs! The advantage is that it's possible to have a variety of looks and colours. I do go wigless from time to time which is nice, although I think that were I going out en femme I would be choosing a wig.
Since I'm only a few years off 80 and as good as bald as abadgers..... posterior, its wigs for me when ever I dress. Even when I did have hair, I would not have been able to grow it. Business and "home pressure" would have seen to that.

A wig. My own hair is getting thin at the crown. I had long hair in my 20s and 30s which took a lot of looking after and I had a good head of hair then.
Besides that I love being able to choose colour and style to match my outfit and makeup so a wig it is.

When I get fully dolled up I wear one of my 2 wigs. One is shoulder length, the other is a bob style. They are both a salt and pepper color of some type. I love the look when I wear them, the only downside is that it does get hot wearing them. Most of the time when I dress it is for short periods of time (a couple hours) so I don't go full make up or wear a wig. As I only dress at home I' okay with that. I'm letting my hair grow out but do have some thinning on the front and top but do like the way it feels brushing against my neck and covering my ears. As to thinning on top I see a number of older GG's who have thinning hair so I wouldn't be too concerned with that. I would guess that part of that is from the hair treatments they got when younger.
Also it would be difficult to have a feminine cut and remain partially closeted. I think my preferred style would be shoulder length with a ponytail and on occasion have it braided. I've done both of those in the past and enjoyed it.

It’s wigs for me.
Like a lot of others, my own hair is getting thin on the top, so it’s not a choice really.
Even if it was a choice, I’ve never really grown my hair long so I doubt I’d want to now.
Also, wigs give you an instant change of look and style, which is great
