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

That is a great style, and your hair does look longer! Very sleek and sophisticated - beautiful

Yes - I'd agree that it does.

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

Hi Rini,

Yes, your hair does look longer in that style!  So healthy and shiny!

Yes, looks longer that way. Maybe because people with longer hair could recreate that by knotting it or something at the nape? Looks gorgeous!

You've got me seriously considering henna.

I agree it looks longer and pretty.

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.

Rini, your hair really does look longer with that hairstyle - and it's sooo gorgeous. Your hair is growing so fast.

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.

Hey thanks everyone!

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.

Me too

stoopid tapering ends, grrrrrrr

Rini that syle looks great! And it does look longer.  You're also tempting me back to henna, I'll have to save up for a big block from Lush.

Rini, lovely hair style, cool accessory, and it does look longer.  Full marks for it

Anais, pretty braid.  Did you do it yourself?  You must have a *lot* of stamina

Bubba, you must just be tall.  Or if you did get 6" from Oct-Jan, I want to know your secret lol.

Do you lot realise how inadequate you make others feel?
