hey everyone, I have a question. I am a guy who wants more hair to have a pony tail. Its a new york thing every guy having their hair long and im the only one with short short hair. Do you know any methods?
Welcome to the boards! Guys can absolutely wear extensions, but your options really would depend on how long your hair is now, as well as your real hair (fine/coarse, thin/thick, straight/wavy/curly, color-treated, damaged, healthy, etc.), and the look you want to achieve.
If you can provide photos of your hair currently and how you would like it to look, that would be helpful--if not actual photos of you, then Internet screengrabs that look similar to your hair now and the hair you want.
In addition, how much do you want to spend? Do you want to do it yourself or get it done at a salon? What are your top priorities--versatility, security, length, thickness, no damage, etc.?
It looks like your hair is an Afro texture, yes? I would think you'd have a few options, including braiding and weaving, but my knowledge is kind of limited to thin, white-girl hair, unfortunately.
Hopefully someone else will chime in here, but in the meantime, have you seen any photos online of the look you'd like to achieve? You said you want a ponytail, correct? So are you envisioning all of your hair being the same length, or longer in the back?
i meant a bun not a ponytail. My hair is thick and curly. It wouldn't matter if it were curly or straight. I want it to be long all around not just the back.
What I would suggest is reading through the links to the threads posted above; they'll provide a review of the various installation methods and kinds of hair.
In the meantime, post a new thread, asking for recommendations with the link to your photo. (Your question could get buried in this thread.)
Are you sure a "bun". I live in NJ and go to NYC and I have not seen any guys walking the streets with a bun on their head - ponytails yes but buns are the type ballerina's wear. Is this what you want?

lol I just want it long to my shoulders to have it long not to tie it up. I've heard about great lengths and saw the website. Would that be a good method?
Hmmm...I don't know that I'd recommend Great Lengths for your hair type. It can be damaging; plus, it's really expensive--usually around $2000 or so in NYC. I would suggest a weave or perhaps pinchbraids.
