Post your ponytails! Thickness

**Guenhwyvar** · August 8th, 2011, 01:16 PM

A few years ago I had very very thick hair (people noticed) but now it seems to be really thin. Even my braids seem much smaller. I am having trouble imaging what everyones hair thickness is like, so can people post pics of there ponytail with a measurement? (From the side if possible please xD).

I will post my own as soon as I can

Lets see all this lovely hair (all thickness are beautiful)

Wow I love Ur hair! I thought this post was going to get alot of posts I can barely put my hair in a ponytail so I have nothing to post

When my hair is pulled back in a pony tail I believe the circumference is 3". I don't have a picture of my hair styled in this way. I have a picture of pig tails though that I will post just in case you want to see. Great thread idea. I had thought about making a thread like this but you beat me to it.

Here's my hair in a low ponytail. My circumference is approximately 4.1" tightly compacted. A higher ponytail measures ~4.25".

Please excuse the slightly greasy hair.

luckily I took some posy pictures of myself several months ago that fit this thread, spinning in the spot and playing with the self timer function on my iPhone!

my ponytail thickness is a smidge under 3" last time I measured ... maybe 2 and three quarter inches or slightly above.

I love this! I will be back to post a pic!

I can't figure out how to take a picture of the back of my own head, but mine measured about 3.5 inches.

It'll be interesting to see if that changes. I've been feeling like my hair has gotten thinner, but I'm not 100% sure its not just hanging differently. Its longer than ever (BSL) and I just started CO. It doesn't have the annoy big pouf that it used to get, so it seems less thick.

So, when you measure pony circumference, do you do it over the elastic or what? I'm wonder if that would fudge my numbers, but I can't think of another way to do it.

Thanks so much

I think mine is just over 3" at the moment. I measured with a piece of string and a ruler. I cant find a picture and I don't have access to a camera now but will get a pic up ASAP.

Great Pics

I placed the string behind the ruler..
