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

She probably has shoulder length hair left, enough to make a regular ponytail. Then you hold the ring from the bottom up against behind the hair tie, curl the ponytail down and through the ring and turn it up so that it rests against the scalp and use some of her cut hair to tie the whole thing together, hiding the ponytail beneath.

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.

It’s a Dior item, so I think you’re right.

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.

As long as that’s her own hair, I think that is hella nifty. It says she had the personal discipline to grow her hair out, but then also wanted the option for switching back and forth between long and short hair on her own schedule, and not tied to her follicular performance.

If it’s not, it’s just as superficial and fake as any other hair extension.

And I would say this about anyone, not just women. Hell, if I could do the same with my beard in a way that actually looked decent and would not be widely ridiculed, I would seriously consider it. Because just like long hair, while any mountain man can sport a scraggly mess, a good beard takes years of discipline to grow into a well-coiffed mane.

I don’t really see how hair extensions are any more superficial and fake than lots of other fashion choices. I mean, I get it, I think a lot of fashion is superficial and fake, but I don’t see why hair extensions have any particular stigma. Done well they look nice, done poorly they look like shit. None of my business. Some people have a hard time maintaining healthy hair if they grow it long, or maybe (like OP) they just don’t want to commit to having to keep it long all the time.

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.

Keep in mind they have a handy bundle of matching long hair strands. So they could use a clear elastic band to hold the short hair, then wrap it with matching long hair. Given that it’s for a significant event, the model might even have had slightly longer hair, and after forming that tiny bun the stylist cut off any excess.

Yeah. It’s probably a regular ponytail tucked beneath the hair and then they just used some of her strands to wrap it tight. Especially since they did nearly the same on the cut off hair.

Ai isn’t perfect but apparently good enough to fool some into discrediting verifiable real images.

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.

Pretty sure that’s just the design of the trim

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.

Pretty sure that’s a stadium or something where you have several light sources from multiple directions, which do make weird overlapping shadows.
