Blow-Out-Worthy Hair Out of necessity, most of Prata's clients rely on wigs to create a natural, feminine-looking hairstyle. "If they're over 45, they've usually lost a lot of hair," she says. (The average age for trans women to undergo surgery is 42.) Prata recommends synthetic wigs with a lace front (usually $250-$500) over human hair because human hair (including extensions) requires a lot of hairstyle know-how.
Other clients successfully receive hair transplant therapy. "I had one client who lost most of his hair as a man at 28. [After he got hair transplants], he looks better at 50 than he did at 28," she says. However, it's expensive -- about $15,000.
Cost: $500 to $1,000 for wigs (you'll want a couple if you're wearing them everyday, says Prata) or $15,000 for hair transplant therapy.
