I think what helps is finding photos of your dad when he was your age or a bit older (around the age you’d be on T)

I’d probably look more like my paternal grandpa than my dad, I’ve been told MANY times I have his exact nose. Wouldn’t be upset with getting curls though (my dad has loose curly hair)
