MTP I forgot how cute you used to be.
Mostly because I just concentrate on how cute you are now
Ibs - you might want to think about hair extensions.
Not to lengthen, but you can get them just to "fill out" or thicken your hair.
I've had them twice to lengthen my hair and they are a pain to take care of, but it's all about how important your image is to you. Turns out mine wasn't... I pulled one set out myself in the end. I wasn't in a good place though.
They're expensive to get and maintain, but if you find a local hairdressing college or a place that needs to train staff then the cost will shrink dramatically.
I know what you've said before about hating to expose your fledgling self to strangers. But do try to close your eyes and step off the board. Hairdressers in general are a sympathetic bunch. And surely more open-minded in your part of the world. It's generally considered a gay-friendly profession, so TG/TS friendly is perhaps not much more of a stretch?
Just don't get your hair cut if you are considering extensions. The more you have, the better it can be added. Again, note, I am not talking about adding length, just fullness.
The TG lady who works in my local supermarket has a bald spot. I feel for her.
Then again she has a musician boyfriend and is very happy.
Bitch.
