Very well. Newsea's Cynthia is the long hairstyle that is close to what I want, and Newsea's Guajira is the hairstyle that is similar to the high ponytail I'm describing.

Actually, as long as I can make comparisons, this one: *hotlink removed* is more like what I'd want for the longer male hair. It's got similar bangs, but it's wavy instead of straight, has locks hanging over the shoulders, and it's only for females. This one: *hotlink removed* is kind of like what I would want for the high ponytail, except that it doesn't have the bangs and is female only as well. And lastly, this one: http://www.spring4sims.com/2009/03/short-male-ponytail-hair-by-cheryl-mason-mts2/ is like the low ponytail that I want, except it doesn't have the sparse hanging bangs and is for Sims 2.

I must seem rather picky, but I'm looking for a certain look, and I haven't seen any hairstyles that could fill the role I'm looking for. Similar ones, for sure, but usually they're for the opposite sex.  

I've searched high and low in the sims 3 community, and I've seen plenty of ponytails that are long to semi-long, but not many that are shorter.

If anyone can make these, I need two different ponytails. The first is one that would be at the nape of the neck, with some fringe for bangs in the front; just a few wisps on either side that hang down.
The second has thicker bangs in front, and the ponytail is high and sort of bushy. Looking from the front, you would be able to see the hair from the tail sticking up and fanning out.

There's another hair that I need too, now that I think about it. It's a long male hair with bangs in the front that are parted in the middle, so that you can see the center of the forehead and the hair curves in toward it. One of the things about longer male hair that I've seen and don't want is for the hair to trail onto the front of the sim over the shoulder. I would like it to go straight down the back.

I hope that's enough description for any potential creators to go off of. If anyone needs any more description on any of these, let me know.

I'd be grateful if someone did any ONE of these hairs, so thanks in advance for taking the time to look.
