V, U or W Shaped Hair. When Did You Learn Yours?

[Evolving78]

my hairline in the back is shaped like a W. so my hair is shaped like that, but it can appear to look U shaped.

My hair has grown in a serious V-shape for as long as I can remember. When I still went to the salon to get my hair done I used to leave P o'd if a new stylist decided to even me up because that meant cutting off 2-4 inches. In fact both my son and my daughter inherited the "v" from me.

i my sides and front grow uber fast and I sometimes get the W. Gonna not cut my hair until 2013 and see what happens.

Same here.

I'm confident that I'm a U-shaped head of hair. Although I have noticed since reaching SL that the looser texture in the back of my head gives the appearance of V sometimes cause it hangs lower.

Serious question: How can you tell? Is it just the back or is it how your hair grows all through your head?

 

[beautyaddict1913]

it exists and its not necessarily due to breakage. i think the hemline depends on the way your nape grows if you do not cut it.

as you can see i have no hair in the center of my nape. any hair that grows there is very sparse yet the sides are dense.


when i wear my hair straight and down the lack of hair in the middle manifest itself as a gap in the hair. depending on the way i comb and the lighting it it is not visible.



you can see it really well here. i think it looks better when curled



this is why i prefer a blunt cut so the the crown hairs cover the disparity at the nape

Napp thanks for posting this! I'm W shaped too and I always thought I was a V but felt like maybe I wasn't taking good care of the mid nape section hence the lack of growth lol. But my hair looks EXACTLY like yours when pulled up into a bun!

I think I'm U -shaped.

aviddiva77 it's all throughout. I'm W because my front is shorter than the back and my nape is shorter than the left and right side.

beautyaddict1913 thanks! That took me a minute to imagine but it's like folding the W in half (so the V is on each side of the head near the ears)?

And a V is when the nape grows the fastest/longest and a U is kind of uniform all around?

aviddiva77 Yes ma'am u got it!

aviddiva77 Yes ma'am u got it!

YAAA! it feels good to get something on this fourm lol.

That being said, my front and back seem to grow the slowest (mainly it's my back but they're about the same length) and my crown and sides grow like grass so I am a W

Mine is a V shape. I prefer U or blunt because it makes the hair look more thick & full to me. But I'll settle for a V as long is its just natually growing that way and not due to damage and such. Maybe when its much longer I'll get a nice blunt cut...

Mine grows in a U-shape. I wouldn't say the perfect U, but its not a V and its definitley not blunt. I started realizing after I got to full NL, but was absolutly sure after now getting to APL and it still being in the same shape.
