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.

Exactly! And welcome - nice to see a new "face" on the board!
The more you complain, the longer God lets you live.
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.
Just looking for a few good hair slaves - is that too much to ask?

My hair is abit wavy, but I have had it cut straight now and i love it (I cut most if the layers of that i had from before)
Sorry to start asking about other things.
Great thread by the way, you guyes are really growing it long. I don't
think i've ever seen anyone with hair to their knees
How are you all measuring your hair? Because it is different lengths, depending on whether you measure it at the top of your head near your part, or the slightly shorter hair underneath it. The hair at the crown of my head measures about 17.5", and the hair beneath it, 15".
Either way, it is roughly boob length right now, and very sad that I cut bangs into it recently. Haha.
So what's the standardized hairboutique measurement technique???

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.

I'm posting for Jennifer once again (we just uploaded a new
avatar). She has had long hair most of her life and it was below
waist length several years ago. After a short cut after a bad
relationship, she's growing it long once again and is reaching for at
least waist length once again and I don't think she'll stop
there. Oh, and regarding the topic of touching hair ... how can
one resist?! I brush it for her at least every morning and night
and am the sole volunteer as shampoo (well C.O.) buddy. I love to
touch her hair and can't keep my hands out of it :-).

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!

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 )
Thanks Anais for the quick response. I'm actually hosting this
picture from my own webserver at work. It shouldn't get a lot of
traffic so I should be ok hosting it from there.
my goal is to be at my breast, about 16 inches. i am just below my shoulders now in the back and just above my sholders in the front (i have a mini mullet, kinda but i use clip on extensions so it's cool) with alot, i mean alot of layers. i had a girl put way to many layers in my hair and now the ends are see through. once i reach my goal i hope to have something like this .. just like 6 inches longer
