Thread: How thick is your hair?

  1. #1

    Default How thick is your hair?

    If you put your hair up in a ponytail, how many times can you wrap the rubber band around it? For me, if it's new/almost new rubber bands (I usually use two for support), I can wrap it around three times and it would generally be rather tight. I have waist length hair that's rather healthy, but when browsing youtube videos about long hair, I always somehow feel that their hair is almost twice as thick as mine. So I wanted to know if it's my illusion or true.

    Mine is so so fine. I long for a thick pony tail. I think maybe when the baby hairs catch up and the layers grow out it will look thicker? Do you think that those with thick hair tend to be more likely to grow it successfully, or that growing it and caring for it allows it to be thicker? I never see anyone with hair as thin as mine with it past BSL

    With new bands I can wrap between 2 and 3 times. Just as a tip, here we usually measure thickness by ponytail circumference. My ponytail circumference is about 4", which is at the upper end of normal/lower end of thick.

    My hair is right smack in the middle of having medium thickness. I always thought my hair was thin, though. And I have this classmate with really really THICK straight hair, its gorgeous! Makes me have thickness envy

    I hope my baby hairs can grow out too, but I wonder if it ever will

    Too short to measure the actual ponytail, but so thick it doesn't actually move when I move my head.

    Hard to say since hair elastics come in so many sizes, but my hair is quite thin. 2 1/4 " circumference. I'm hoping that will increase at least slightly with some vitamin supplements and such
