Hair growth effect

A wide walk in low sun shows the hair extending stride by stride. a wide shot of a person walking across open grassland in low evening sun, their cropped hair lengthening continuously as they walk so it reaches the shoulders, then the waist, over the course of the walk, the growing mass lifting and trailing behind them in the breeze and catching the low light at the edges, the stride steady throughout, camera tracking alongside at a distance

Density returns to a close crop and then the length starts to climb. a wide shot of a person standing alone in profile on a bare rooftop against a pale sky, their very short crop thickening first into a dense even covering and then lengthening downward past the collar and toward the mid back, the outline against the sky changing shape in stages, the figure motionless and the sky empty of any landmark, locked wide camera

A walker keeps pace as the hair extends and starts to trail. a person with chin-length hair walking toward camera along a bare corridor under flat ceiling lights, the hair lengthening steadily as they walk so it passes the shoulders and then the elbows within a few strides, the extra length beginning to trail behind the walk and swing across the back, the pace and the expression never changing, camera tracking backwards ahead of them

Face and back of the head show the same length arriving at once. a person standing in front of a plain frameless mirror in a bare hallway, seen from behind so both the back of their head and their reflected face are in frame, their short hair lengthening in both views at the same rate, passing the shoulders and continuing down the back while the reflection shows the same fall around the face, camera holding still behind them

Length builds continuously, the swing arriving as the hair gets heavier. a person with short cropped hair standing still against a plain pale wall in soft daylight, the hair lengthening continuously and evenly, passing the ears, then the jaw, then the shoulders within the shot, the strands gaining weight and beginning to swing slightly as they fall further, the hairline and the face unchanged throughout, camera holding a steady medium close shot at eye level

The hair extends, then sections gather and plait themselves. a person standing in profile in a bare room in warm side light, their short hair lengthening down past the shoulder blades, then three sections separating on their own and crossing over one another from the crown downward until a single plait hangs to the waist, the finished braid tightening and settling against the back, hands never entering frame, camera holding a medium profile shot

Length extends while floating, drifting outward as it lengthens. a wide shot looking down at a person floating on their back in a still shallow pool in flat daylight, their short hair lengthening outward in the water so it spreads around the head in a widening fan, each new length drifting and curling on the surface as it appears, the face calm and above the water, the pool otherwise undisturbed, locked wide overhead camera

A shaved scalp regains density before the length starts to build. a close shot of the back of a head with a very short shaved crop in flat overcast light, the stubble thickening evenly across the scalp until the shape is soft and dense, then the whole covering beginning to lengthen together down toward the nape and past the collar of a plain shirt, the skin tone and ears unchanged, camera holding still behind the head

The full length arrives, then plaits itself from crown to waist. a wide shot of a person standing in the middle of an empty room with tall bare windows in soft daylight, their short hair growing down past the shoulder blades and then dividing into three sections that cross over one another from the crown down into a single plait reaching the waist, the braid settling with a small swing, locked wide camera

Each new length is caught by the wind as it appears. a person standing on an open balcony in steady side wind, their short hair lengthening continuously so each new centimetre is immediately taken by the breeze and pushed sideways, the moving mass growing from a fringe to a long streaming tail across the frame, the person keeping their eyes forward and their stance still, camera at eye level slightly downwind
