Finally started to get a wardrobe and start dressing feminine for the first time in my transition!
How do I look? I've been feeling very euphoric with the new clothes but nervous if I pass or not..
But I've at least been feeling super cute lately and I try to push the doubts down. -
your outfit looks soo comfy and pretty!! your curls make me jealous ^^ you look beautiful. i wanna say you pass but idk if it's my place to say anything bc im cis and maybe that isnt even a question in your post arghh words
😄 it's okayy, thank you <3
Girl, you are killing it! You have a natural beauty that I'm sure shines through any outfit choice! I'm glad you feel good in those clothes, they look great on you!
Aww <3 thank you so much for the kind words! I think you've honestly made my day :)
You look cute, but I am wondering if you'd be alright with some advice for your hair, as we have the same hair type. How do you dry it?
Definitely! I pat it with a towel and then I let it air dry, I actually took this pic before it dried completely.
Ok you might want to experiment with an air dryer using all the info online. Changed my life.
I wash my hair every day with water, unless I'm lucky and it survived the night. Towel pat it, and don't let it air dry. You'll wanna go through it many times with medium hot hair and then cool again with cold air. Every time bunching it up with that big piece that goes on the dryer. Don't hold it long because hot hair isn't good for hair. Just keep going until its dry.
The idea is that your hair sets when it dries. If you air dry it like that, the weight will pull it down and it'll set like that. That's why you'll wanna go through it and shape it constantly. I go for maximum fluff.
Product-wise let me go ahead and refer you to the curly girl method, which you can find online. You'll especially want to avoid sulfate containing shampoo. One easy way is to go for products that are specifically for curly hair and get the whole line from one company and do what it says on the back.
I wash it with product once it doesn't really play friendly any more. That's after about 7 to 10 days for me. This also allows you to buy more expensive product.
Only brush it when it is wet and use one of those coarse padded brushes. I brush it while under the shower. Doing that daily also helps with reducing hair laying around.
Lastly you'll want to get a water spray bottle. One that really makes tiny droplets. You can use it after air drying or whenever you go outside. Just spray it in and scrunch it up here and there to make it pop. As it dries it'll make it pop even more.
I think you look very nice 👍
You look great!
Very cute~!
You look beautiful and very cute :3
