QuoteReplyTopic: Does this style make my hair look longer? Posted: February 27 2006 at 10:34pm
I tried a new style the other day and I think it makes my hair look longer! What do you think?
It is just a french braid, stopped toward the bottom of my head, then turned into a ponytail. I then used my new hair toy (a funky perspex slide) to decorate it. I had to stick a bobby pin in one side as I had an annoying short layer piece that kept falling out!
It felt like my hair was longer....or maybe it's because I'm used to wearing it all up

There is a girl where I work who has her hair to just past her shoulders. Hers looks far longer when she puts in a high ponytail as compared to a low ponytail. I can only think that its because the hair is free to move more in the higher ponytail.
Its your hair, your choice and your decision

I think one reason it might look longer is that in the tail like that the hair blends and we don't see the shorter layers. We only see the longest length.
PurpleBUbba, that can't be 34" long...Probably 30.
Dude, that is 34 inches because I had masking tape on the tape measure and I colored it with marker. When I zoomed in on the picture I could see which piece of tape it was near.
You may use a different measuring method but that is 34 inches from my forehead back. I know that's 34 because only a few months later my hair is tailbone length and that is 36 inches from forehead back. There's no way I got 6 inches from October until January. I can't use my camera with this new computer until I get a cable that will plug in or a new camera otherwise I'd show new pictures.
I also know it's 34" based on how many other people are similar height and have similar measurements. And in February of 2005 I had my Mom measure and at that time she got 30". So I know it grew since then.
Here are my side by side 30" and 34"
In the first picture the hair is up near my elbow and in the second it is passed it.

Susan, that hairtoy was the most expensive one I've bought so far believe it or not. You can't tell in the photo, but it's made out of this really cool pearly plastic stuff and the stick is the same. I love the colours!
Hellfrozeover....you mean you haven't joined the dark side yet? If you need any info, I'll be happy to help out. Just PM me.
Purplebubba, yes I think it is the longer layer being more obvious that makes it look longer. I can't wait until the rest of my hair catches up to that layer! Your hair is growing so well.....36 inches...wow!
Anais...I don't know how I missed your new sig pic! Your braid is just STUNNING......like fall on the floor stunning It is my dream braid.
