How to Check Your Hair Density with a Hair Tie

• Pull your hair into a ponytail using your usual elastic.

• Count how many times the hair tie wraps around your ponytail comfortably.

• Measure the circumference of the ponytail at the base if you want to be extra accurate.

What Your Hair Tie Says:

• 3 or fewer wraps / 4" ponytail or more = Thick/Dense Hair

• 3–4 wraps / ~2–3" ponytail = Medium Density

• 4–5+ wraps / less than 2" ponytail = Fine or Low Density

*Density refers to the number of hair strands—not the texture or thickness of each one. Even fine hair can be dense!
