long hair goals

A few years ago I decided to see how long it could go.  For years I had the standard 'long' hairdo - the longest it got was above the bra strap and I never could get the sides to grow long.  I always admired people with a thick length below the bra strap but never could achive it myself.  I realised that as long as I went to stylists, I would never, ever get it long.  So I stopped going and started trimming it myself.

My hair is now past my waist in the back.

My hair is thick, but with a fine texture.  It can have breakage and having some split ends is something that I live with, as long as the ends don't get that fuzzy look.  I do color my hair, and have read that doing so is no great for those with longer hair.  However, it is very close to my natural color, and since I MAY have seen some gray coming in - I will continue to color regardless - lol.  A few years back, I began coloring to my original color so I could stop coloring.  But when I saw he hint of gray, well, I will not tolerate that.  I will not perm though.

Don't think I will go much longer than it is right now.  Reading some of these response, I could never see getting my hair down to my knees.  I keep shorter bangs in the front but the rest of it is long and tapers down the back in a wider 'U' cut.

I love the feel of long hair and get a kick that I have a hair length that other women pay big bucks for fake extensions to achieve the same look.  There is something timeless and classic about longer hair.

My first goal is mid-back  and my second is waist length, I do not know the amount of inches...But I think my main goal is having healthy hair as long as it will grow

If you're hair is wavy, you could choose layers, as long as you're not planning on wearing your hair up. Layers will keep you from doing a neat updo, and you'll always have pieces popping out when you don't want them to. Short layers won't even stay in a ponytail, which can be really annoying.

If your hair is straight, you should get it blunt cut.

It’s great to see everyone’s goals...we will all get there one day.

Currently, my hair is at tailbone length.

My short-term goal, for now, is classic length.

You start at the front hairline, measure over the back of the head and down to the ends of the shortest layer.

If you have different lengths, you can say something like, my shortest layer is x, and my longest layer is x. Or x inches long when dry, stretched out is x.

Belated welcome greetings to Tyranna, Oceanic Dreams, and "yay i win"

Oceanic, thank you for showing your photo of your very beautiful hair!

One more thing .... I see that several people have larger pics at the bottom of each message as a signature.  How is this done?  Is it done as part of the signature?  Do you have to have the picture available on a website somewhere and put a link to it or do you upload the picture to the signature box somehow?  Thanks in advance!

ETA: Whoops! You got it!

Pictures have to be hosted by some sort of "image hosting provider" such as Photobucket, Tinypic.com, or Imageshack. Tinypic.com will let you load pictures without signing up. You just browse, then click "Host it" and scroll down when the page is finished loading. It will give you a URL. For people who are looking to load a lot of photos for different reasons, then a free hosting account is really cool.

Anyway, so you take the URL and add it to your signature as an IMG tag. (click on Add Image, put the URL between the [ IMG ] tags ) 

 Hope this helps!
