I would like to see pictures of other people's hair that have a ponytail of 3" or less. Would like to compare to my own.

I have really thin hair. Luckily, my waves/curls make it look a little thicker than it actually is.

Here's my ponytail: http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/album.php?albumid=5126&pictureid=109922

And most of my albums are public :)

I'm at 2.25" and while the hair closest to my head doesn't feel super thin to me, the length (when I had length!) feels so heart-breakingly thin and scraggly.

This was Dec 2009. It was the year I decided to grow my hair (from 20.5" in Jan to about 26 in Dec.) As you can see, it got thin.

1.5 years later and it still looked like that so in June of this year, I went for a cut. Got a lot more than I bargained for.

It's growing again fortunately and excuse the crappy layer job but here it is today...

I have a couple of ponytail pictures (post/during big shed) in which my ponytail circumference was between 2.5" and 3.0". The rest of my album photos I think are prior to my shed, when my ponytail circumference was 3.5" - 4".

Here are links to the two:

They are both with my hair getting close to knee length, one is a regular ponytail in motion, the other a caterpillar.

I haven't updated pictures in a while, but my circumference has been stable at about 2.5" for a long time. You're welcome to check out my albums.

I haven't measured my ponytail in awhile but it's pretty thin.

In this picture, which was taken four months ago, you can see how small my ponytail is.

After growing out the dye its closer to 3:

Hmph, Piggy, sounds like you've no business typing yourself as an i/ii anymore. ;) Yay for increased circumference!

UP Lisa, did you mean pony pictures specifically, or just hair pictures in general? I think my pony is about 2.5", maybe a little less now; I've been too chicken to measure for a while. No actual pony pictures, but this my hair worn down and brushed.

Best skinny ponytail I can think of is Anna Torv's in the tv show Fringe. I bet she's 2 inches or less. My own is 2 inches.

My hair is just a smidge under 3" nape ponytail thickness (more than 2 7/8", less than 3") right now. This is not a particularly flattering hair picture, though. It looks thinner if it's wavy and wet (a lot thinner) and thicker if it's smooth and bushy/straight (a lot thicker).

I've always thought that her hair was more substantial than that, but was noticing tonight that you may well be right. Guess my own eyes tend to assume that everyone else's hair is thicker than mine, LOL!

My hair has a circumference of around 2.5-3 inches (seems to vary, but this is probably more variation in measuring skill!)

My circumference is just about 2".
Here's a picture (https://drive.google.com/open?id=12dQ13D0-LQtb9BUcg2kmDAm_jf4RY45d) of my ponytail right after an oil treatment, a trim, and a quick blowdry.

My hair has always been very fine, very thin (i), somewhere between type 1b-1c (wavy when wet).
Its pretty sparse and can get pretty scraggly at the ends, though it's felt much healthier lately that I've started researching more about handling my hair type.
It definitely still tangles very easily, especially if I wear it down all day or its the slightest bit windy, and gets static-y in the winter.
I just discovered this community so i'm very excited to hear more about others' experiences with fine / thin hair!

That's about my mom's thickness; kind of a "marker" or "sharpie" ponytail I always say to her.

Don't think for one second that you can't grow long hair! Because I know (from mom) it is so easy to get discouraged.

Good luck & happy growing! :D
