Grow Taller Secrets

Having always been the small guy, I know how difficult it can make one's life. Always having to look up at people when talking, it used to make me feel so uncomfortable when having conversations. After years of struggling to accept my height at a messily five foot six inches, I decided it was time to take action could I learn how to get tall? It was the summer of 08 when I embarked on my journey to get tall. I started with little hope not knowing if it was possible to increase my height, I wanted to stay away for pills & medications right from the start as 99% of them do not work.

After a few weeks of looking round the web and reading hundreds of web pages, I came to the conclusion the best way to get taller would be to use stretching exercises and proper nutrition. I know it sounds strange ''stretching exercises'' but many people have gained inches in height just by implementing a few simple techniques. My main problem was my posture, like many people who work at desks or are sat in chairs for long periods of time. My back was always slumped, I would never sit or stand up straight this made me appear even smaller. I gained 1'' in height just from correcting my posture, and you can to.

As I slowly started to implement all the stretching exercises I had studied, Week By week I was gaining height. Each week I would measure my height and each time it gave me more of an incentive to carry on, because I was seeing results. The nutrition side of things are simple don't eat Junk it is poison , when we are full of it our bodies cannot function the way they should do, As long as you eat well and get plenty of fruit and Vegetables' you are doing Right.

By the end of the summer I had gained almost three inches in height at 22 years old, it can be done and here are my top tips.

1# Posture

Using correct posture can be an instant way to increase your height, Make sure you sit up straight with your shoulders back. It can be quite hard to implement at first, if you have been used to slouching . Try to remind yourself every time you find yourself slouching, It can and will work wonders for you.

2# sleep

When sleeping at night always try to sleep on your back, this keeps your spine straight and works wonders for your posture. If you want to improve it even more Try to find a good pillow, wrong pillows bend your neck into an unnatural position as you sleep and over time can even cause cervical disc protrusion!

3# Cycling

Cycling is a fantastic way to lengthen your legs, All you have to do is raise the bicycle seat three to four inches higher than normal. It may be difficult at first, riding your bike in this manner but you soon adapt to it. I would suggest only doing this exercise for twenty 20 minutes at a time, to avoid unnecessary strain.

4# Swimming

Swimming is an excellent growth stimulating activity, When done in the right way . A few lengths up and down your local pool each week, using the breast stroke technique can dramatically improve your height. The breast stroke utilities your full body length meaning every time you complete a stroke your body is at its maximum length.

5# Attitude

As I said before I started off with little hope, But as soon as I saw results the fire was lit. It had hit me I can grow taller and will gain height, I stuck at it and it paid off. The best piece of advice I can give you is don't expect anything to happen overnight, it takes time and commitment, but is very achievable.

I wish you the best of luck

How To Grow Taller

Many of you out there may have wished you could add an inch or two to your length, that's just natural. Now we're not saying that short people are worse off than tall people, because that would just get us in trouble, but there's nothing wrong in wanting to add to that below-average height. There are no guaranteed ways to do this, but there are several sensible - and a few idiotic - methods to try and grow taller. Here are the best. And probably the worst...

---

Step 1:

STUPID - Home-Made Rack

Make a rack using your bed, a few ropes and some form of winch. Then get someone to stretch you like they did in medieval prisons. This is of course a ridiculous idea and could result in some fairly serious problems…

---

Step 2:

CLEVER - Nutrition

There are 6 important nutrients needed for growth and good health. Maintaining a healthy, well balanced diet that includes the right mix of Vitamins, Carbohydrates, Fats, Minerals, Proteins and Water is a great way to naturally increase the body's growth.

---

Step 3:

STUPID - Act Like A Giraffe

Giraffes are pretty tall, so why not mimic our biological cousins? Put your meals in trees and add height by forcing yourself to reach higher and higher. This is in no way a completely stupid thing to do…

---

Step 4:

CLEVER - Improve Your Posture

Many people rob themselves of extra inches simply by having poor posture. Make sure you stand straight and erect. Carry your head high with your chin up and don't allow your shoulders to droop forward. Be careful not to develop a rigid, overly stiff posture and instead attempt to maintain it properly in a relaxed and comfortable manner

- you may be surprised by how tall you actually were in the first place!

---

Step 5:

STUPID - Make Your Own Stilts

Not only is this cheating, but it will also make you look ridiculous and will more often that not leave you on your arse. Those people that wear them in the circus aren't actually that tall, and you should laugh at yourself for even considering it…

---

Step 6:

CLEVER - Sleep Properly

The bat idea is rubbish, but good sleeping habits can help with growth. Make sure you get proper rest (about 8 hours a night), make sure your mattress is firm and supports the body and most importantly stop using a pillow. A pillow pushes your head forward and arches the back, so without one your body can rest as straight as possible. Sleep on your back with your torso straight and fully extended and this could well help you discover some extra inches...

---

Step 7:

STUPID - Break Your Legs

There is an ancient practice involving the breaking off leg bones and placing them in traction that it said add length to your legs. Whether or not this is true is redundant, as either way it's gonna really really hurt and end up with you having stupid looking legs...

---

Step 8:

CLEVER - Stretch And Exercise

Regular stretching and exercise can also help add some all important inches. Stretch your arms and legs as far as they will go, and work on stretching your neck muscles. Any recreational exercise will help as it helps maintain a healthy, fit body, giving it every chance of developing more than a that of a lazy couch potato...

In the end, there are easier ways to improve your self-esteem and you really shouldn't worry about your height, but you can still take note of our clever, serious suggestions to help you grow. And feel free to disregard the silly ones. They shouldn't really be there anyway…good luck getting bigger!

Most people are aware by now the importance of stretching, but not many people know that there are actual stretching exercises to increase height that can be performed. If you have ever wanted to be taller, or perhaps just want to have better posture in general, then stretching exercises to increase height are going to be very useful to you here.

Stretching Exercises to Increase Height

One of the best exercises you can do to help add to your height begins with you lying down on the floor facing the ceiling. The best idea here is to look at a single point on the ceiling and focus on it, while your body is resting comfortably, straight out on the floor.

Now you want to stretch your left foot towards the right and your right foot towards the left, without moving your legs. Remember not to push too hard and to not push past the point of a light tightening sensation in your muscles.

Now you want to stretch the right foot towards the right and the left towards the left. Again remember not to move your legs and to not push too hard because then you risk straining or pulling a muscle.

Another of the most effective stretching exercises to increase height involves you lying down on your stomach, and then you want to put your palms down on the floor near your hips. Bend your legs at the knee and raise your legs upwards, now keeping your thighs on the floor you want to push your hands backwards and try to catch your legs. Do not stretch too much and relax after this, then repeat.

Another easy exercise to help increase height begins with you standing behind a chair. Hold the backrest of the chair and then push your right leg backwards. Keep your spine as straight as you can and then stretch the leg as much as possible without pushing it too far of course. Come back to the resting position and repeat the exercise with the other leg. You can then go back to the first leg and repeat several times.

Stretching exercises to increase height, if performed properly and on a regular basis, will be able to add height to your stature and give you better posture overall. You will stand straighter and feel better and these are definitely stretching exercises that you want to include in your existing routine for the rest of your life.

My everyday routine:
-Biking 25-30 miles daily
-sitting with angkle weight 2-3 hours daily
-Drink milk daily
- Do 24 week Exercise

Base on easyheight.com

"It has been suggested that cycling with raised saddle seat for 18 to 20 miles everyday would increase the shinbone length by 1/4 inch every 2 or 3 weeks. It's very difficult but someone out there should experiment & report back their progress! Stationary bikes are preferred over traditional bikes because the convenience of cycling indoor regardless of weather conditions. Good stationary bikes can be found at any fitness clubs at the cost of membership subscription, or simply purchase a cheap stationary bike and then customize it as outlined below."

Types of Bikes
Not all stationary bikes are alike. There are two main types, an upright bike and a recumbent bike:

• The first option, an upright bike, is like a regular bicycle (your legs extend below your torso and your back is not supported), only stationary.
• Recumbent bikes offer a more relaxed, supported sitting position. Like a chair, they have seat backs to support your back, and instead of pedaling below, your legs usually extend in front of you.

Hello--

I've researched your questions and have the answers.

A person's height is determined by how our genes interact with the
environment. If you live in a healthy way, you will achieve your
greatest potential height. The most important things you can do are to
get plenty of sleep, exercise regularly, eat a well-balanced diet, and
avoid alcohol and drugs.

Your body will continue to get taller until the growth plates on your
bones close. People stop growing at different ages. You might stop
growing in your mid teens. Or you might continue growing into your
twenties. How tall you get is mainly determined by how long your long
bones are.

If you believe you are not as tall as you should be, you might have
have an absence of a growth hormone. Your doctor can run tests to find
out if you lack this hormone. It's quite possible! I've found that
some symptoms of this loss of growth hormone include arthritis and a
severe changing of your facial features.

An article written by Oregon State University researchers states, "For
persons with a documented absence of growth hormone, administration of
this hormone can help them to acheive 'normal' stature, but this is
indicated only for persons clearly way below normal growth curves and
a documented (by lab tests) deficiency. Growth hormone given after
bones have stopped growing (for example at 22) would be more likely to
induce acromegaly. This is a disease seen in persons that secrete too
much growth hormone. The symptoms are significant corsening of facial
features, hyperplasia of joints and severe arthritis."

If your doctor finds that your bones are abnormally short, this can be
corrected through a process called articial stretching. Your bones
will be broken and the bone parts will be attached piece by piece to
steel rods that can increase the length of your bones, and thus, make
you taller. This is said to have a high success rate but is painful.

You may read about PFFD, a syndrome in which bones don't properly
grow. The link is http://www.georgetown.edu/faculty/kainen/pffdproj.html

Some doctors are against limb lengthening. This web site sponsored by
Georgetown University, writes, "WHY SOME DOCTORS ARE AGAINST LIMB
LENGTHENING: There are many reasons for this. One is prejudice against
medical procedures from other countries. I'm not kidding. One doctor
told me "they" didn't believe in anything from "foreign countries". To
make things worse limb lengthening came from the former Soviet Union,
remember the cold war thing? Add to this the arrogance that American
medicine is superior because it's American. When the Ilizarov Method
was first discovered there was some excitement and doctors quickly
began trying the procedure in the 1960's without extensive training in
the method. When they didn't get the results they wanted, American
doctors seemed to give up on the technique and decided it didn't work.
Limb lengthening is a difficult and complicated procedure and when
done by an unskilled doctor or untrained in the procedure or in how to
deal with the complications, the results can be disastrous. Some
doctors are too arrogant, full of pride, or jealous to admit that
another doctor can help their patient and they can't.

Doctors are human after all but, unfortunately, a few tend to
think they are more superior than the average human. Some doctors may
be prejudiced against the procedure. Another reason is they may
believe that you or the child's particular case may have complications
that the doctor can't surgically repair and if he can't fix it then it
can't be fixed, right? They may also be too skeptical or unsure of the
limb lengthening procedure that they won't refer the patient to a
doctor experienced in limb lengthening. One important reason may be
you as a parent or the patient. Many doctors will follow your lead in
how you are dealing with the situation. It can depend on you. If you
are demanding to know all of your options they will give you that,
some will do so reluctantly. If you seem upset and can't deal with the
situation, they will offer you the quickest and easiest solution
possible. For example, in an unrelated situation, a doctor was giving
a young boy who had very severe mental retardation a stronger dosage
of seizure medication than was needed in order to keep him heavily
sedated. The boys' mother was complaining to the doctor that she could
never keep him awake. He finally told her that he was giving the child
more medication than was necessary to keep him sedated because some
parents wanted their child kept quiet and asleep. He assumed it would
be easier on her if her child was kept sedated and that she would want
it that way as well. By the way, judging by her raised voice, he
assumed wrong. Doctors not only consider the patients needs, they,
also, consider the family's needs as well and they sometimes make
assumptions. The point is they could be following your lead on
deciding what treatment they will offer.

Not all doctors are bad, like not all mechanics are bad. Some do
wonderful work, care about the job and try to do what's best for the
individual. Some try to get as much money as they can from you and fix
it where you have to return again and again. Some simply do mediocre
work because they don't really care about the job or you, and yes,
some are bad and shouldn't be in business."

http://www.nls.net/mp/pffdvsg/vsg-for-understand.htm

Another typical treatment is the prescription of a growth hormone.
According to WebMD, a respected medical web site, a hormone "is a
substance released by an organ or tissue that controls the activity of
organs or cells in another part of the body."

Further, WebMD, writes, "Test Overview. Human growth hormone (GH) is
produced by the pituitary gland. It is essential for growth and plays
an important role in how the body uses food for energy (a process
called metabolism). The amount of GH in the blood changes throughout
the day and is affected by exercise, sleep, emotional stress, and
diet.

Too much GH during childhood can result in excessive growth
(gigantism). Too little GH during childhood can inhibit growth
(dwarfism). However, gigantism and dwarfism can be treated if
discovered early.

In adults, excess GH is usually caused by a noncancerous tumor of the
pituitary gland called an adenoma. Excess GH can lead to an abnormal
bony enlargement of the face, jaw, hands, and feet (acromegaly).

Growth hormone can cause the release of other substances (factors)
that affect growth. One of these is insulin-like growth factor 1
(IGF-1). When the GH level is abnormally high, the IGF-1 level is
usually high as well. A test for IGF-1 may be done to confirm high GH
levels.

See an illustration of the pituitary gland.

This test is done on a blood sample taken from a vein. Two blood
samples (taken 1 day apart) may be collected.

Why It Is Done

A test for growth hormone (GH) is done to:

Determine whether a child whose growth is abnormal has dwarfism or
gigantism.
Help determine whether an adult has acromegaly, a condition usually
caused by a GH-secreting tumor of the pituitary gland (called an
adenoma).
Monitor treatment that involves use of GH.
How to Prepare

Fast and limit your physical activity for 12 hours prior to a test for
growth hormone (GH). Since physical activity can interfere with GH
test results, you may be asked to lie down and relax in a quiet room
for 30 minutes before your blood is drawn.

Certain medications can interfere with GH test results, such as
corticosteroids and estrogen (including birth control pills). Your
doctor may instruct you to stop taking these medications prior to this
test. Talk to your doctor about whether these medications need to be
stopped prior to the test.

Recent diagnostic imaging procedures using a radioactive tracer (such
as a thyroid scan or bone scan) can interfere with GH test results.
Inform your doctor if you have recently undergone any test that used a
radioactive tracer.

How It Is Done

Because the blood levels of growth hormone (GH) can change quickly,
more than one blood sample may be taken on different days.

The person drawing blood will wrap an elastic band around your upper
arm to temporarily stop the flow of blood through the veins of your
arm. This makes it easier to put the needle into a vein properly
because the veins below the band get larger and do not collapse
easily.

The site where the needle will be inserted is cleaned with alcohol,
and then the needle is inserted into the vein. More than one needle
stick may be needed if the needle does not get placed correctly or if
the vein cannot supply enough blood.

When the needle is properly placed in the vein, a collection tube will
be attached to the needle. Blood will flow into the collection tube.
Sometimes more than one tube of blood is collected.

When enough blood has been collected, the band around your arm will be
removed. A gauze pad or cotton ball is placed over the puncture site
as the needle is withdrawn. Pressure is applied to the puncture site
for several minutes and then a small bandage is often placed over it.

How It Feels

You may feel nothing at all from the needle puncture, or you may feel
a brief sting or pinch as the needle goes through the skin. Some
people feel a stinging pain while the needle is in the vein. However,
many people do not feel any pain (or have only minor discomfort) once
the needle is positioned in the vein. The amount of pain you feel
depends on the skill of the person drawing the blood, the condition of
your veins, and your sensitivity to pain.

Risks

There is very little risk of complications from having blood drawn
from a vein. You may develop a small bruise at the puncture site. You
can reduce the risk of bruising by keeping pressure on the site for
several minutes after the needle is withdrawn.

Rarely, the vein may become inflamed (phlebitis) after the blood
sample is taken. Phlebitis is usually treated with a warm compress
applied several times daily.

Continued bleeding can be a problem for people with bleeding
disorders. Aspirin, warfarin (Coumadin), and other blood-thinning
medications can also make bleeding more likely. If you have bleeding
or clotting problems, or if you take blood-thinning medication, tell
the person before your blood is drawn.

Results

Normal

Normal results may vary from lab to lab.

Growth hormone

Men:
0–5 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL)

Women:
0–10 ng/mL

Children:
0–16 ng/mL


After physical or emotional stress (such as exercise or worry about
health problems), growth hormone (GH) levels are normally about 20 to
30 ng/mL.

Greater than normal values may mean

High growth hormone (GH) values may indicate gigantism or acromegaly.
These conditions are often the result of a noncancerous tumor in the
pituitary gland (adenoma).
Increased GH levels may also result from diabetes, kidney disease, or
starvation.
What Affects the Test

High levels of growth hormone (GH) can be caused by such medications
as amphetamines, estrogens (including birth control pills), levodopa
(Larodopa, Dopar), methyldopa (Aldomet), propranolol (Inderal), and
bromocriptine (Parlodel).
Low blood sugar can cause high GH levels.
Low levels of GH may be caused by chlorpromazine (Thorazine) and
corticosteroids.
Rough handling, contamination, or inadequate refrigeration of the
blood sample can cause inaccurate test results.
What to Think About

Newer, more sensitive tests are being developed to measure human
growth hormone (GH).
Since normal levels of GH can vary widely, other tests may be done to
confirm the results of a GH test. Additional tests can determine
whether low levels of GH (which can be normal) mean the pituitary
gland is not functioning.
Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) blood levels are commonly
evaluated along with GH levels. A high level of IGF-1 along with a
high level of GH is almost always diagnostic of acromegaly. In this
case, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies should be done to
evaluate the pituitary gland. For more information, see the medical
test Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the Head.
The growth hormone suppression test (also called the glucose loading
test) measures the level of GH in the blood before and after a person
drinks liquid containing a large amount of sugar (glucose). Normally,
the amount of GH drops to less than 1 ng/mL after drinking the
glucose. Levels of GH that remain high may indicate acromegaly.
The growth hormone stimulation test (also called the insulin tolerance
test) measures the level of GH in the blood before and after insulin
is given through a vein (intravenously). Normally, the amount of GH
increases after the insulin is given (in children the level should be
more than 10 ng/mL; in adults it should be more than 7 ng/mL). A GH
level that does not increase may indicate a GH deficiency.

Costs

Growth Hormones. Growth Hormones can be prescribed by a physician.
Typically these brand name drugs range from $150-$200 a month. If you
have insurance, these drugs will obviously be much less expensive,
depending on what your co-pay is.

Bone Lengthening

The cost of the bone lengthening procedure depends on the complexity
of the procedure and how many inches are required for growth. This
procedure can cost anywhere from $2,000 to $20,000, depending on the
overall health of the patient, the number of bones needed to be
broken, how many pieces the bones will be broken into, and how much
therapy is required afterward. This varies from patient to patient.

Proper Nutrition and Exercise

This is by far the least expensive way to improve your height. If
you're still growing, be sure to help your bones become as strong as
possible, so they'll be as long and as tall as possible.

It's important to note that I am not a physician and do not attempt to
offer medical advice. If you have questions about your specific
condition, please contact your physician.

Invetion Boots

It is the most effective way to increase your height.
It also a very easy exercise, cheap and fast.
For more information, visit easyheight.com

Releasing your inner Richard Gere

Richard Gere brought inversion boots to our consciousness in 1980's "American Gigolo." Whether or not you have a movie star physique, you can enjoy the many benefits of a few minutes upside down every day.

Fit is everything

Take the fit of your inversion boots as seriously as you would if you were buying a pair of hiking boots. Of course, these "boots" just wrap around your ankles, not your feet. Ankles come in a much smaller range of sizes than feet do, so you'll have less guesswork. Most boots have pads, fitting mechanisms or both to give you a near-custom fit. Seek a great fit for comfort and safety.

Hooking up with gravity

You've got your inversion boots on, but now what? You need something secure on which to suspend them (and you). A simple inversion rack or bar can be bolted to a wall or ceiling (call a contractor if you're not sure how) and allows you to hang completely inverted. You need to be strong, fit, and flexible to get on and off an inversion rack. But you don't have to look like Richard Gere to benefit from inversion boots. We offer many options for the mortals among us.

Laying it on the table

Your boots can be used with an inversion table. Inversion tables allow you to start out horizontal, so it's easier to enter and exit the inverted state. Inversion tables also offer a choice of several different inversion angles, insuring there's a level of therapy appropriate to you.

Actual statistics show that a shorter person will encounter most of his/ her disadvantages during a job interview or on a date. Taller men/ women have a better chance of getting high paid jobs and it is easier for them to find good dates/ mates.
This is just not fair! But fortunately for you, even if you are not as tall as you wish, there are some secret and effective techniques which you can use to overcome all of those disadvantages and win your dream job or mate! Some people have actually applied these techniques in different situations and had great success by increasing their height 4 to 8 inches.

To overcome your height disadvantages when you are on a job interview or a romantic date, follow these tips:

1. Have a hair style that makes you appear taller. In order to appear taller, a hair style should be thin at the sides and higher up top, which can make you appear as much as an inch taller. Do not have any wide hair style. Also, a bald head can makes a person appear shorter.

2. Wear certain clothes that will make you appear taller.

Avoid clothes with horizontal lines. Belts are horizontal so make sure you conceal them in your clothes. Avoid clothes with a tartan or checked pattern. Avoid cuffs that make your legs appear shorter.

Short waist men should avoid wearing trousers / jeans at waist. Low waist jeans are not the right type for you. Tucking your top would not be a very good option. Pullovers are apt for your personality. Short lengthy tank tops are a total no because they tend to highlight your short waist. Contrast concept wont look very good as it would interfere with the vertical flow. So a combo of pink shirt and black trouser should not be chosen. Ask your tailor to keep an inch higher on waist while taking measurement.

Avoid wearing sharply contrasting clothes and pants together. These will easily expose the real length of your legs and make you look shorter.

Wear clothes with vertical lines or striping. Vertical lines or striping make a person appear thinner, and thinness in turn gives the impression of more height.

Wear clothes with shoulder pads. Shoulder pads make your shoulders appear broader and your whole body appear more slender.

3. Wear shoes that will make you appear taller. If you are a female, this should be easy since you can find a lot of female shoes with 2 or 3 inch heels. But for males, this used to be hard to do since you can not let people know that you are wearing high-heeled shoes (some people would laugh at you and make the situation even worse). Now this problem can be easily solved by our secret "hidden heel" shoes that will make you appear 3 inches taller without being noticed as wearing high-heeled shoes.

If you follow all of the tips above, have a nice hair style, and wear proper clothing and a pair of heeled shoes, you can instantly appear 4 or 5 inches taller! Of course this apparent height can not compare with the permanent real height, but it can give you additional height in the most needed situations. What to do next? Hunt for a good job or your dream date!

Society's old ways of thinking, including those ideas that tell us that a male should always be taller than a female he is in a relationship, are obsolete. Even so, sometimes we need ways to deal with this kind of role reversal.

Steps

• First of all, you must be confident. Your height is something you can do nothing about, and you need to be able to come to terms with that. If you cannot accept yourself the way you are, how can you expect anyone else to? Most of the time, if you are unpreoccupied with something like this, something superficial, your significant other most likely won't be concerned at all.
  
• Talk about it. In a relationship, one of the most important skills is to be able to communicate with your significant other. Tell her that this is something that you may be sensitive about or even just that you don't want it to become an issue. Most girls won't care.
  
• You may need to make a decision about whether to date a girl based on her acceptance of your height. In the long run, and even in the short run, height, as with all other superficial aspects of someone's appearance, is extremely unimportant. Much more important is chemistry and enjoyment and acceptance of each other.
  

Tips

• Confidence is key in being able to date a girl taller than yourself
  
• Do not view yourself as less "manly" in any way because of height
  
• Make sure that your girlfriend understands that you may not like to be teased about your height
  

First of all, let me begin by saying that being short does not go against the concept of beauty as defined by society. It is absolutely fine to look short. Shorter people are cute, cuddly and come across as lovable and huggable! Good things do come in small packages. However, if you feel you would still like to add a few more inches to your height, don those three-inch stilettos and read on.


Monochrome outfits

Opt for a single coloured outfit. Don't try and pair a blouse with contrast trousers, as once a colour break is introduced it cuts down your height, making you look shorter. A single colour from top to bottom adds to the illusion of height. You could add a second colour to your ensemble by accessorizing it. Wear a scarf around your neck or carry a contrasting handbag. Add still more pizzaz to your monochromatic outfit by contrasting fabrics and textures. Blue denim with a blue satin blouse, brown leather pants with a brown chiffon blouse.

Accessories

Wear a scarf with one end hanging down. This makes you look taller. If you wear a jacket or cardigan, wear it unbuttoned to add to the vertical and lengthening effect. Similarly, chose long necklaces over chokers, hanging earrings and loops over studs. Big belts appear to cut you in half and make you look shorter, so you should best avoid them. Wear heels.

Match your shoes to your trousers, not to your top. Nothing adds height more than wearing a pair of shoes exactly the colour of your trousers. Doing this elongates the legs. If you are wearing black trousers with a white top, which we have already told you is a bad idea, you may be tempted to wear white shoes. True, it goes with the look, but remember, we are trying to make you look taller and black heels will do the job far better than white stilettos. Similarly, match the hue of your stockings to your skirt or pant.

Stripes

Any strips on your outfit should be vertical, not horizontal. Vertical stripes not only make you look taller, but they make you look slimmer as well. Thus if you are top heavy and have a big bust, you could wear a top with vertical stripes, while if you want your hips to look slimmer, you could wear striped pants. Thankfully colourful striped pants are very trendy, so invest in a pair.

Hair

Add height to your tresses. Wearing your hair up in a ponytail or bun makes your neck look longer and is a better idea than wearing your hair loose, and the higher your ponytail, the better it looks. If short hair suits you, cut it off to above your ears - but once again, only if it suits you! The idea is for you to look tall so you can look better, not worse! Not many women can carry off short hair, so if you can, go for it! Essentially, if short and long hair both look good on you, go for short. Similarly v-neck tops make your neck look longer, consequently making you look a little taller.

Weight

If you are even a little overweight, you will look plumper and shorter. Tall people can carry off excess fat with no one noticing, but unfortunately shorter people cannot. The good news is, if you shed a little weight, you gain a little height as well, so if you can lose a few more pounds, do so. If you are slim enough, don't lose any more weight. Looking too skinny ruins the 'cute' factor of being short!


Skirts

Wear skirts that are longer in length than in width. Alternatively, pair a long jacket with a mini.


And finally, the most effective tip of all, hang out hang out with people shorter than you!
