This is my first attempt at tailing up... should I even consider wearing this outside? or should I wait a bit?
i say wait a couple of months for your hair to get longer because it looks like your hair needs some more length to it.
Tai Fu, I think you should wait. Also, when you put your hair up into a ponytail, I think it looks best when you are able to grab all the hairs, esp the ones around the nape. Some are too short to nab, but they can be styled into place, off of the neck. That gives it a cleaner look and shows off the neck.
Your hair looks really shiny, BTW. I love the glossy and sleek look for ponytails. It's a sharp style.
xxxooo,

I myself would be inclined to wait a bit. Perhaps another 6 months. (But that is just me.) If YOU like it and it makes you happy by all means wear it. Great job of getting your hair to this point thus far. Good luck in continued growth.
You could try tying it at a higher angle and letting the back down. I like the look and it's a nice alternative to the normal grab all hair ponytail.
Tai fui,
Good first attempt for such minimal length.
Your hair is very shiny and healthy.
If i was you i would wait 6 months or more until your hair gets a little longer and then start tying it. Once you can get all your bangs inside it will be easier aswell.
You're lucky to have such straight hair, every inch shows.
Cheers.
I think it looks nice, actually, but since the front is still hanging loose, I'd say you could wait about another 6 months like the others said. But it's looking fine so far.
I think you should wait a bit
I would say definitely wait until nearly all of you hair reaches the tie. A bandanna would be a good choice for now. Your hair has great potential and would probably look best at waist length.
Asians have the nicest hair in my opinion. A while back, I found a mysterious strand of coarse black hair in my house. It is just over 52 centimeters long and 100 microns in diameter. It is like a piece of steel wire, and so strong that it barely stretches when tension is applied to it. Under similar tension, my hair stretches and breaks. I traced the source of the mysterious strand of black hair to my friend Mike who had visited recently. Mike is Chinese. My conclusion, after closely examining this strand of hair, asians have the nicest hair.

how do u measure the diameter of the hair ?
is there a microscope required or are there less expensive tools to check it out ...

thx & greez,

I used a machinist's micrometer, but I do have a microscope with a measuring reticle as well. You can probably buy a low cost direct measuring microscope on EBAY. I have never shopped for one, but now I am curious to see if they are available on EBAY. 100 power would probably be best.

you can buy a dial caliper which machinests use for like 30 dollars or so. They measure to .001 inch. Hair usually measures to about .005 inch.
