    Well that makes it easier to wash her hair in the sink I guess.

    But also, hear me out, what if instead of that plastic thing she had a quick release hook, so she could use the tail (and the hook) for self defence? Hell, make the tail of braided leather and you got a cool whip for impromptu BSDM session!

    I don’t know why it bothers me that it’s “dead” hair, because effectively nothing has changed. It’s like a pseudo wig that isn’t trying to hide anything, which is super cool

        The moment your hair cells leave the pores on the skin of your head

        Even before that. You pull a hair out, and if that specific hair follicle was still growing you should see a teeny-tiny bulb at the very end. That bulb can be up to a mm beneath the skin. The widest part of that bulb is where the hair cells begin dying and drying out. By the time it shrinks down to the width of the rest of the hair (and long before it emerges from the pore), all the cells in that section are dead. Only the base of the bulb has living, growing hair cells.

              Well I’ll have to look it up now, but I see it as a substance produced by the body that isn’t made of cells itself. Like any of the other excretions and things the body makes.

              Edit: apparently both your nails and hair are mostly made of keratin, but keratin isn’t produced and excreted to produce the nail and hair structures like a playdough factory like I imagined. Special cells are produced that are primarily keratin and they are added to like a chain and die/harden as they are pushed out from the body.

        It’s got the benefits of having extensions, but without the benefit of an awkward surprise when somebody tries to run their hands through your hair when making out.

    Neat style, I also think its really neat how the shadow falls on her neck. The silhouette is just slightly not the same as the shape, and it looks pretty cool.

    For when you want to have a ponytail that you can disconnect and hook your keys onto your head.

        Most interpretations of the Turing Test ignore the fact that the judge could in fact, simply be an idiot. There are three parties in the Turing Test. The AI, The Real Person, and The Judge. For AI to be indistinguishable, the AI could get more complex, but the Real Person could get simpler(twitter comments). The third option is that The Judge gets less discerning.

        look at the engineering mess of a background, and the pixelation of the jersey white. but i didnt google image search dior ponytail and yes they do sell this wig ring bullshit for reals. so i’ll take the L on this one. i still say the shadow of the rings should be complete circles.

      FWIW I thought it was fake too. I still don’t know how they made that upper knot. Dior-tier hairstylists are amazing.

        So, they used one of those “bump” things underneath her hair on the top of her head, which is what gives that extra dome shape and a cavity for her bottom layer of hair to get tucked in to. Then they did a ponytail with the top half of her hair, folded around the chain link, and tucked the excess tail inside. Use some of the hair starting from the bottom most side of the ponytail and wrap it around. That wrap around the base of the tail does not need to be separate from her hair. Easy to make it look like it is with some careful positioning. Plastic bands, hairspray, and potentially woven thread to really keep it all stable. The bump is what makes it all possible.

        As for the cut off portion, I think it’s fake/not hers. You can kind of tell by the coloring not 100% matching her hair, but it is pretty much spot on.

    Is that fake?

    It really doesn’t look like there’s enough hair length on here head to hold that.

    I.e. that’s not enough hair to hold it like that

      I don’t see anything that screams AI, and given how hideous unique that top is and the consistency of the weave edges I think this is just from a fashion show.

        Dior Spring 2015 Couture, if anyone is curious. I remember these ponytails vividly, my younger sister chopped her hair off trying to recreate them using her own hair and two curtain rings.

        We subsequently had all our magazine subscriptions cancelled.
