I want to start going out dressed. Girls Jeans or shorts, girls tshirt or top…even have the rainbow womens shoes!
But I have really short hair. Total buzz cut. I want to find a wig that works best for me. I’m tall, with what some have said is a long face.
What kind of hair would work best?
I’ve played with faceapp it always has me with long shoulder length hair. I know it’s not really scientific..but it looks good.
Not trying to pass out there, just want to be complete

I would also suggest going to a wig shop. Otherwise you are going to end up buying a lot of wigs you do not like. I have been to two shops and found the store personnel very helpful. It turns out a lot of their clients are dressers.
I google search images that I like such as Helen Mirren, Jane Fonda and I look at their various hair styles and colours.
I look for wig styles that will soften my features. For example a bob style that covers my jaw line. Or a soft bang to cover the forehead.
I agree with everyone that said if you can go to a wig shop do it.

If you have a long forehead try a style with bangs. At one time I had about 30 wigs. The photo I use as an AV is me wearing 6 of them and a clippie at the same time. You can do all kinds of things with wigs including pinning them together and styling them.
I found what I thought was the perfect wig and wore only that style for years. A pro stylist showed me all kinds of looks that also worked and I started changing looks a lot.

When I first began going out, I was looking for a look that would suit me and I could do. I would see what women were wearing and tried to figure out how I could wear what they were wearing and how I could look like them. There was so many beautiful women I wanted to look like, but that was only in my dreams and fantasies. No way I was going to look like the.
Then I saw Daisy Duke and that was it. The short shorts, the pantyhose, the heels and the hair. That was the hair I wanted. I bought a couple of wigs in that style. One was brown, the other a dirty blonde.
When I put my outfit on and looked in the mirror, I was a guy dressed like Daisy Duke. When I out the wig on, I became a girl. A total and complete transformation. I had it all. It was overwhelming and life changing.
Find someone you would like to look like. Try to do their look. Hair would be a big part of that. Get some cheap wigs to try out the look. One you have something you really like, you can eventually get a good wig with the same or very similar style.
Those two wigs took me through first going out at 17 through my college years.

I’m also a tall gal, and I have a long face too, sister. I usually wear the long (28 Inch) wigs. They look great on me, and I imagine long hair would look great on you too. Another piece of advice is choose a wig that matches the color of your eyebrows for a more natural look.
Wish you all the best!

They deal with CDers and trans people everyday so there is no judgement on their part.
When I first came out I went to a local wig shop and picked out a few to try on and found some wigs just weren’t me at all even the one I liked the most.
The pros will help you find what looks natural on you so listen to what they say.

I used to live in Baltimore. There was a wig shop called Mrs Ko’s and Mrs Ko had a wall full of photos of her special girls. Having a photo on the wall was a matter of pride for a lot of girls. She had gorgeous wigs that were very reasonably priced and she sold gorgeous jewelry. Back in 05 I could walk out with three wigs and a necklace set for like $140.
Not only is their no judgement, there is love for us at many shops. I was so happy the day my photo went up on the wall.
