We are all different and we look different.

Today I wanted to to give you some advice how to describe different types of hair in Polish.

Hair can be krótkie (short) or długie (long).

Man can be łysy (bold) or  łysiejący (bolding).

Some people have falowane/faliste (wavy) hair, some have proste (straight) hair and some have kręcone (curly) hair.

Some women have grzywka (bangs).

Hair can be rozpuszczone (worn down), związane w kucyk (tied in a pony tail), zaplecione w warkocz (braided), upięte w kok (worn in a bun).

Woman with blond hair is called blondynka (man – blondyn).

Woman with brown hair is called szatynka (man- szatyn).

Woman with black hair is called brunetka (man – brunet).

Woman with red hair is called ruda (man – rudy).

About the Author: Kasia

My name is Kasia Scontsas. I grew near Lublin, Poland and moved to Warsaw to study International Business. I have passion for languages: any languages! Currently I live in New Hampshire. I enjoy skiing, kayaking, biking and paddle boarding. My husband speaks a little Polish, but our daughters are fluent in it! I wanted to make sure that they can communicate with their Polish relatives in our native language. Teaching them Polish since they were born was the best thing I could have given them! I have been writing about learning Polish language and culture for Transparent Language’s Polish Blog since 2010.

    One thing I would like to say is that often car insurance cancellations is a terrifying experience so if you’re doing the correct things as a driver you simply will not get one. A lot of people do receive the notice that they have been officially dumped by their particular insurance company and many have to scramble to get more insurance following a cancellation. Inexpensive auto insurance rates are often hard to get after a cancellation. Knowing the main reasons regarding auto insurance termination can help owners prevent sacrificing one of the most critical privileges offered. Thanks for the suggestions shared through your blog.
