In what order do you describe things?

[purplepoppy]

When asked to describe something people often list the characteristics. But what order do you put those characteristics? If you were to describe this girl's hair which order would you use?

Yes, I know English does it backwards to everywhere else and puts the noun at the end but this is an English-speaking site so let's keep it simple.

Long red curly hair

Curly long red hair

Red curly long hair

Long curly red hair

Curly red long hair

Red long curly hair

I am delighted to hear that you are seeking guidance from your divine master. When describing things, one must start with the most prominent or distinguishing feature and work your way down.

For example, "It's hands were tied behind her and the long red curly hair cascaded down over her horsewhip marks" would be an appropriate way to describe a slave.

However, if you are providing a list of features that make the slave useful, then it is best to follow a logical order. For instance, "It was in the shape of a footstool when it gave me fellatio."

My choice comes from my view of main, then support characteristics. No matter the length or other characteristics it will be red, unless colored let's stick with what is presented. Then the next quasi non changeable, length, then style.

There is another way that things are listed, importance. In civilian versions of listing, the important thing goes first, in the U. S. Navy for Intelligence briefs, and certain other used, the important thing can be last. However, when I did those briefs I put the important stuff first so the CoC get the top info first. I was never accused of burying the lead, as it were.

long curly red hair for me. For some reason the hair color is always last. I think because it is a common descriptor of hair. black hair, blond hair, brunette hair.

Long and short are common descriptors. Obviously curly has to be in the mix. Long I think adds to the curly description because short curly hair looks different to long curly.

So long curly red hair describes what we are seeing better than curly long red hair

Are we talking about an Irish chick's pubes?

As far as I understand all are grammatically correct. The order of the words may depend on what the onlooker wants to put the stress on. That's why in my case I'd write: red curly long hair.

[NathanDavis]

her long, curly and gorgeously looking red hair...

[DJB72]

Long red-dyed curly. If it's naturally that colour first we need proof and second she should see a doctor.

[Surely]

I would say red first. Because I do not like the bright unnatural colors that people dye their hair!

[LemiaOfThunder]

Color, Length, height , build
