More Than Just a Hairstyle! Hair Restoration and Hair Transplant for M to F Hairline Hair plays an important role in a woman’s life. For a male-to-female transgender, hair presents even more of a challenge because she may have suffered male pattern hair loss prior to her transition. Furthermore, there are intrinsic differences between the typical hairline of a genetic male and that of a genetic female. Hairstyles are very limited if one has a typical male hairline. This presentation will discuss the causes, signs, and classifications of male pattern hair loss, FDA approved medical treatment, and hair transplant for construction of a female hairline.

Kennidi Monroe
Tranny Talk Radio
www.TrannyTalk101.com 		FINDING YOUR INNER BEAUTY When we as trans people decide this is our journey, we tend to go into fast forward mode. We rush to get the surgeries, take the hormones, wear the clothes and make-up. But if your outer beauty is not going the same pace as your inner beauty, you won’t find happiness in the end!

In my workshop I will teach these steps:

STEP ONE: Letting go of doubt
STEP TWO: Putting others worries aside
STEP THREE: Loving thy self

Exercises will be practiced that can be done at home. It’s not a miracle overnight but it’s a start to becoming a better you! 		Salon C Friday 2:00 - 3:00
