My hair is extremely versatile. On one had, in this picture my hair is blow dried. It can mimic a circumference of up to 6 inches when fully brushed out and allowed to fluff up.

On the other hand, if my hair is weighed down a lot, or even 50% damp it can compress all the way down to 2 inches.

So I have no idea where I can classify my hair in circumference thickness, but I enjoy how it can be on both sides of the spectrum.

Don't get discouraged! If I had one piece of advice for myself when I first started here, it would be to stop comparing your hair to other people's hair. Your hair is yours. It's not other people's, so don't expect it to act like other people's. I became pretty discouraged when I first measured my ponytail circumference to find it was a mere 2". I always knew my hair was fine but wasn't too focused on its thickness until I started paying attention to this metric. I'd personally be happy if we did away with measuring ponytail circumference altogether. I will point out that I was trying to wear my hair straight a lot when I first got depressed about this whole thing. AutobotsAttack brings up a pretty good point. I've read a lot of places that hair with curly texture has a tendency to be fine and therefore look tiny and shrunken down when straight, wet, or compressed for any reason.

My hair is wavy. Here it is a month after starting the CG method and feeling incredibly smug about the volume:

My hair was your length 3 years ago and has had several trims since.

Lucid, how do you make those super pretty curls on the end of the length?

This thread is definitely inspirational. My hair varies from 2 1/4 to 2 1/2 depending on the weather and where in the wash cycle I am. I also have considerable taper with my super fine hair suffering from natural layers from breakage, particularly the canopy. I’m beginning to think it’s never going to get to waistlength and often get disheartened when I see gorgeous long thick hair. It’s so uplifting to see such gorgeous hair on this thread that is on the thinner side of normal thickness.
Here’s my messy windswept waves at the persimmon festival a few weeks ago.
