My ponytail circumference changes under different circumstances too, but not that much. It changes only half an inch or so.
My ponytail circumference can range from 2.5" right up to 4" - depending on whether it's been heat-styled, how I've slept on my hair, what products I've used, and even the weather.
Last night, I went to bed with my hair damp and I put it in a high ponytail with a braid. I woke up with it still fairly damp, but the frizz and waves went KABOOM. Oh, it's dreadful. I measured my ponytail and it was somewhere between the 4" and 4.5" mark (my hair ain't thick, though!) which is just poofiness galore! Thank goodness for study leave where I can just stay at home and not do anything with my hair; otherwise I would of went straight for the frizz serums and hair-straighteners.

Mine tends to shrink the greasier it gets. Straight after washing it is at its thickest and poofiest, which is why I try and stretch my washes.
I've never measured the circumference, but after washing it feels like it is at its thinnest. just before washing (I wash twice a week) it is at its thickest. Weird!
Yup... mine changes based on wet/dry dry air/humid air, how the hair was put up prior to measuring, whether it just feels like it, the price of eggs in China....

Yep. Right after washing my hair is super fluffy and thick. As the days pass, it is slightly less so. I'd say at MOST, it is a half inch difference -- not substantial, but enough for me to notice.

Mine does the same - fluffy and voluminous after washing, sleeker when it needs a wash. But a salon blowdry straight with coney products will also make it "skinnier". In fact wash day isn't my best-hair-day, because it's SO fluffy it just looks silly. The day after wash is when my hair looks nicest, even if I've attempted to blowdry it myself.

My hair is fluffy after washing and gets more compact as the days pass. My ponytail ranges from 4" to ~4.5".
oh pandora thats so weird. I have been puzzling over the exact same question. I thought it was just me! My ponytail circumference changes all the time. I guess i thought it was me measuring it wrong each time. I am so glad you asked this question.

Yes!!!! My hair does the same thing! It has a mind of it's own.
