Answer 1

If you want to be more feminine then you'll need to work on your habits, pose, disposition, and a lot of things.  It doesn't really matter if you have "giant feet and huge hands".  Theres one girl I used to go to school with who was over 6 ft but was still very feminine.

One thing a lot of girls do is that when they get teased (play or not) is that they retaliate by usually punching, which is certainly not something you want to do.

Try to slouch as little as possible, always remember proper table manners (no one likes a slob)

Look into makeup, find out what colors work well with your skin tone, eye color, and hair color.

If you want to straighten your hair try going to get it professionally done at a salon or even look into perming, as not many people realize how beautiful curly hair can be (especially with the current fad of having unbelievably straight hair.)

Possibly looks into a new hair color?  Maybe get highlights or lowlights.

Try to find clothes that will show off some curves, make sure they're somewhat tight (I don't mean having to constantly suck it in but you don't want your clothes hanging off you either)

Answer 2

get some heels

Answer 3

dress and act the part.  over time, people will forget the old you and accept the new you.  it happens all the time.  

examples are everywhere, especially in school... remember the thug baggy shorts kid in junior high with a shaved head and now he wears tight designer jeans and emo hair?  haha.. you know what i mean

Answer 4

Personal i think to transition from a tomboy to a lady is not going to be a walk in the park if you never really walk on the otherside be girly) for # 1 when u just out the blue change the appear that u had 4 yrs u gone have people talkin an whisperin about that transition and u ur self have to have the confidence to overcome and be like to h**l with what people got to say they can kiss where the sun dont shine # 2 with ur transition dont try to be like somebody else because u have alot of people like that runnin around here know a days i call them lost souls and people like that 1/2 the time are going through some serious confidence issue so by pretendin 2 b sum 1 else it makes them feel a lil better but still at the end of the day they are still not saticfied. So wit that bein said look for things that u like that make u feel good look for the faws in ur self(be cus boo everybody has one but 8 times out of 10 what u see as a flaw somebody else might find that s**y or whateva the case may be.) and turn it into somethin positive like ur shoulders find outfits that flatter your body, with ur hair get extension dye it a different color and get it longer, me my self im the queen of eyelash i dont like mascara too messy. have some natural eyelashes placed on (very painless an inexpensive the most that can happen is ur eye waters a lil) get a pedicure/ manicure. youll be fine just be ur self in the process. much love boo

Step 1: Wear makeup. If you don't already wear it, then go to Dillard's/Macy's/Sephora/Whatever place like that in the mall and ask them to do your makeup for you. Or you can look up "How to do makeup" on youtube or google or something.

Step 2:Dress like a GIRL :) Don't wear baggy clothes/big shirts, ect

Wear jeans that fit you perfectly. If you wear a hoodie, make sure it is fitting and add some girly touches to it like flats, pearl necklace, purse,

Step 3: For your hair, I would recommend going to a salon, or maybe even CostCutters, and asking them about your hair, maybe get a straight hair perm? or they could recommend some great tips.

Step 4: Act like a GIRL! Flirt with guys, smile, paint your nails, but really just be yourself i know it sounds cheesy but really. I don't know how old you are so idk if you wear make-up and what not.

3 words... "hello kitty everything"

Answer 7

Some girls go through a stage of being a tomboy. Take it from me, I've even gone through a stage of my life wherein I used to be a tomboy at the age of 10 (passed that stage, and went back to being one at 14. I'm 24 now). Thank God, I've changed a lot, and have not gone back again to being a tomboy.

I used to be very active in sports, hung around a lot with my guy friends, and even used to have a boy's sense of style. It takes time to change from being guy-ish or getting into men's sports, and blooming into a wonderful, yet lovely-looking young lass.

However, if you do want to completely change your style, I suggest that you should change the way you dress, talk, act, and the way how you carry yourself. Change your entire being from a tomboy to being the new, blooming, girlish that person you want to be. Then, all your family and friends will start to notice Read a lot of fashion magazines and look at clothes that will suit your athletic body. I've got an athletic body as well, but not huge hands and feet, thank God, again.

If you'd want to change your entire wardrobe, I'd suggest you should buy some nice tops or blouses, paired with body-fitting jeans that both will accentuate your body. Not the ones that will feel tight on both your waist, hips or legs, and buy them at reasonable prices, if you're on a budget.

Also, if you haven't gotten used to wearing shoes or sandals that have heels, go for flats. Those are the most convenient and comfortable pair of shoes that you can wear from day-to-day. Make sure their padded and have an arch support for a comfy fit.

As for your hair needs, I use Palmolive shampoo & conditioner, combined with aloe vera and coconut extracts. Those usually give your hair a softer and smoother feel. Use Schwartzkopf hair conditioner for extra moisture. If you want to get more info, got to their website at: http://www.schwarzkopf-consumer.com/inde... they definitely have tips on how to take good care of your hair. Hope I helped out and hope you can rate my advice as Best Answer, since I typed out 6 paragraphs for you. :)

Answer 9

Okay, so on your hair, blow dry it straight down with some sort of mouse or something in it, and then straighten it. That should work but if you've tried it I don't know. And try wearing feminine clothes and jewelry. Also if you have some headbands or hair clips those will help too. And start wearing make up if you don't already. And most of all just act a little bit more girlish by renting a chick flick or painting your nails.

Answer 10

what u can do is go to a drugstore like walgreens and buy the biosilk serum it helps straightehn yor hair alot and also try using the conair steam straightener its cheaper then the chi and doesnt fry up your hair the chi will fry up your hair bad but the conair will give u moisure in your hair and straighten it with a steam burst

Answer 11

Well, I have huge feet but that's just because I am pretty tall. Try getting a better straightener if you think nothing straightens your hair... You could even try one of those Japanese permanently straight hairstyles. Maybe you could stop swearing so much! And maybe even try putting on some makeup? Just don't act so "tough" and maybe people won't take you for a tomboy.  

Answer 12

hey, i was totally in your position a few years ago, and now i'm the sporty girl, not the tomboy. What I suggest is to start with style: everybody has a part of their body that they want to make smaller or bigger, so if you want to downsize your shoulders, I would consider not buying any boatneck shirts, and trying horizontal stripes. Also, to turn up you girlly side, wear close that are more form fitting than a baggy T, one of my rules is that if I am wearing something tight on bottom I should wear something flow-y on top, and vice-versa.

Hair: an important thing is to get a nice cut, it doesn't have to be super expensive, but a nice cut makes all the difference. Also, invest in a nice hair straightener, it will damage your hair less, and give it a sleeker look. another tip is to use an anti frizz serum, garnier fructice has some great ones.

Personality: makeup is not your enemy, just a little foundation can go a long way. NExt time your in a social situation, try smiling at people you don't even know, and get into conversations, and meet new people, don't be low energy, and be nice--it will draw people to you

hope that helps=)

PS also, be confident

Answer 13

Why do you wanna change?

Answer 14

first go shopping! try on different types of jeans to see which ones make you slimmer. See what style you are comfortable in, like for clothes that have some shimmer around the neckline!

Also, get some make-up try MAC (they will do a makeover), Bella Pierre (also free makeover), or clinque.

Accessories are a must! Big chunky braclets, long necklaces or chockers (depending on style). Every girl looks good with hoop earings.

Save some money and go to a salon and pick the master stylist (reccomend GiGi or Doshe-both are Aveda) have them cut and dye your hair (around 180 dollars for highlight, color and cut, 60 for a cut)

and some comfortable maryjane shoes- sketchers? thats all!

Answer 15

I wishyou were my friend!! lol

id go shopping with you and make you try soo many clothes.

so first...

do you have any girl friends who dress girly?

if so then def ask them for help/tips on clothing.

HAIR-

buy a really good straightner. normally they cost over 50$.

Take your time straightning your hair. And dont rush bc then it wont stay straight all day. so go over it at least twice.(each small section) you def need a lot of time.

Layers? if its not and leave it done...

Also you should go to a beauty salon have them cut your hair and style it and ask them to explain each step=)

Bangs would def look nice=)

Makeup

to make it fast cute and simple.

concealer,powder,eyeliner,Mascara.(fin... a good mascara, everyones eyelashes are differ)

maybe bronzer....

and add some lipgloss i love Victoria SecretsLipgloss.

If you go alone to the store ask for help on what shade etc..

Clothes

Def Forever 21

you can also go to Hollister/american Eagle/

A Polo/jeans/flipflops and a bookbag at hollister would look so cute=)

with cute small earings.

but idk if you would like that style kinda prep. but i love it=) its not toooo girly..

&&& also personality has so much to do with it.=)

thoughtful/caring/

Oh and also take care of your nails.

If you dont like nail polish at least use the clear one. it makes it look sooo much nicer.

Eyebrows?? make sure they look clean.

ask your friends for suggestions.

Smelling good too!

i LOVE victoria secret Love spell lotion/bodywash/body spray!

and maybe take a dance class? idk what you like to do.

but that would def help.

WELL i wish you the best and i Hope this helped!

stores i recommend=

Victoria Secret

Mac

Hollister

Sephora has good eyeliners.

Answer 16

go to a salon and tell them to make you over. they will have a ton of tips. good luck!

Answer 17

your hair doesn't define if you're a tomboy or not, so don't worry about that. I know heaps of girly girls with crazy curls or frizzy hair.

I'd say, start wearing nice shoes to begin with. like ballet flats or something. instead of sneakers all the time. then just start wearing nice girly clothes, i mean you dont have to wear pink and flowery clothes to not be a tomboy, just buy some nice dresses and not wear jeans all the time. your reputation will go away as you change how you look. and dont worry about your hair or your shoulders, millions of people have those problems. and for your shoe size- you'll find some cute shoes in your size.

also u can get ur hair chemically straightened if ur that desperate. but then again, you can just go with ur hair how it is, not everyone has to have perfect straight hair! You could also try blowdrying it straight, ask a friend or ur hairdresser to teach u

Answer 18

for hair... use head and shoulders EVERYDAY!!!!!!

trust me!

Answer 19

get girly clothes if you dont already. go to forever 21 and stuff. and i like the bedhead straightner it works great i think.  try that straightner. and a conditioner i use that makes my hair smooth and frizz down is joico. i love it, makes it soft too.

Answer 20

try a better flat iron, start wearing trendy clothes and dont always wear t shirt. maybe a little make up and nail polish will help you. if u want i will help u find some cute girly clothes, just post another question
