circumference of your pony tail??

[Waveurly]

I've measured 4,3 inches on top of my head but there's still a small bit of hair not long enough to fit in so it might change later on.. I'm fine with my thickness and thankful for it but it does get difficult when facing scalp issues to reach the scalp and I have to really be careful to rinse very well as to not get build up on my scalp. I saw some comments about wanting more thickness but I think a medium thickness or thinner hair can have it's advantages too! My hair gets heavy quickly when growing out and if I don't keep it moisturized it can poof out and get even bigger for some reason.. but if I moisturize well, it becomes a bit lighter.. every head of hair is beautiful in it's own way

After pregnancy and post partum shed I'm now juuust 4 inches. Let's see if it will thicken up after regrowing!

I measured it last night for the first time in my life and was shocked! I tought it would be 2 inches at most but its 9cm aka 3.54 inches! I was super happy!!

Mine is now 2.5" - prior to my shed, it was 2.75, hoping it will go back to that, sigh.

It is what it is sigh, hang in there I have to takes breaks from here every now and then because it makes me feel self conscious and hate my hair, in the “real world” perspectives change a lot.

Yeah, thanks!

That's one of the things that hurt me most, my non existent hair. But at least it looks big sometimes... And in the real world, where I'm living, it's at least average of not more. Darn genetics, but I'm not alone...

I think that's super sad! Enjoy what you have, Trees, because I have seen your hair on this forum and in my eyes at least, FWIW, I think it's beautiful!

My mom has i hair and used to be a good average ii. Her hair now is about a marker in circumference. It's not a lot, but she makes it work. There's always cute hairstyles to emphasize what you have! Mom used to wear a bee butt bun on her crown with thicker bangs in her 40s (flaming red hair), it was about BSL. Now she's a medium blonde tone, and wears a peacock twist and it's somewhere between shoulder & APL. She's just turned 74.

I couldn't imagine having hair as thick as some of you! I think I would keep it short haha. I'm already so impatient with the hair I have and struggle to braid sometimes.

I don't know if I'd manage iii thickness hair either. I would probably get frustrated with it. I might just be biased, but I feel that ii is the best of both worlds for me. It's thick enough (actually my hair is considered pretty thick here where the average ponytail thickness I see is sharpie) but not so thick that I would get "thick hair issues". Well, I don't get thick hair benefits either, but I'm willing to sacrifice that.

Mine is only 5" but I have a hard enough time. I could imagine what it's like to live with 7 or 8.

Me it’s the opposite, I would trade my “scalp cleavage” and thin braids for heavy/non-doable buns anytime! haha.
But at least I’m able to grow my hair long so for that I’m grateful.

Mine is sitting at 8cm, which is 3.15 inches, I think. I'm happy with that!
