Does hair improve perception of height or is it just eye level that matters?

I think hair does improve perception of height but definitely not 1 for 1. Maybe 1-2 inches of hair translate to half that in perceived height gain?

Of course it does nothing for frame of any of the other benefits that come along with being tall.

Dont think so
 
spiked hair gives a halo that you're slightly taller

What if I have a pompadour style hairdo? Same effect?

Something like this
Modern Pompadour

If the person is around your height then hair wont make them perceive you as taller.

It the person is shorter than you they will think youre taller than what u really are

If they are taller than you it wont make u look taller either.

That sounds about right. Since all I care is female perception, this seems still a bit useful and worthwhile softmax for nw1 bros, maybe even nw2.

Yeah, being bald or putting a hat on is like a full stop ontop of your head. Having at least medium sized hair do give a percieved inch max boost.
 
My brother has way more hair than me.
He is one inch taller than me and looks like he towers over me so yeah, hair makes you look taller depending on how you style it.
I'm not coping me and my bro shaved our head months ago and didn't look much different in height

I like raiteiii's explanation. I think it's contingent on whether people around you are shorter than you or not.
 
It probably does.
