Anais, thanks for that little history lesson lol. I have heard of Phi as well, the first I had ever read about it was in the novel the Da vinci code, but I wasn’t aware that it could be related to hair as well…interesting.

I think it's also approximately equal to the inverse of the natural log, in mathematical notation.  1/e = .368 and 1 - 1/e = .632. 

Longest hair I've ever seen was about 8" past floor-length and still very thick at the ends.  Simply amazing.

Having very long hair myself, it's something you truly grow into.  When it was shorter, I never thought I'd be able to deal with having hair this long.  But as it grew, I kind of "figured it out."

This hasn't really got anything to do with the topic but does there come a point where you can no longer comb/look after your hair by yourself?

No.

I used to think so.  I wondered how people with hair (longer than fingertip length) cared for their hair.  But as I passed that length, I kind of "figured it out."  I hold the comb in my right hand, and use the left hand to "lift" or "push" the section being combed away from my side.  When it got even longer, I started to grab it with my fist.

For those who think they might want to let their hair grow ultra-long, I would suggest that they not consider this an insurmountable issue.  It is actually quite easy to detangle my hair (so long as I haven't foolishly allowed it to get snarled or knotted).

I think the other possibility is "scarfing" your hair and then detangling the out-of-reach parts, or to wrap it around your non-comb hand.

Thanks for the reassurance, Dave

Anais, very interesting that you were able to apply the Golden Ratio to
hair length. I am not very good at math, however I am very artistic, and
things like balance and proportion are very important to me. This is one
of the main reasons I am growing my hair out. I am aiming for waist
length.... about another 15" (a ways to go!)

I saw loads of women with hair at waist-length or longer today which was weird. Also alot of guys with hair past their mid-back.

LadyFrog: How long are you growing your's?

I don't really know. I'd quite like to know what it looks like at classic I suppose which is only a few years away but I'm not specifically growing to a goal. I don't want it super long though.

Woah!  on the new avatars from HFO and Anais   and

The ratios I mentioned based on the mathemtical natural logarithm, 0.368 and 0.632 (or the similar Phi ratios mentioned by Anais) correspond (in this context!) with hair that is waist-length and classic-length, respectively.

(Although "me" length hair is appealing, as well... )

Go for it Dave, you're quite close to "me-length" ... er.. "you-length"

I am growing for it, Anais.   It remains to be seen if it'll happen.  Fellow strivers welcome to the "club"... anybody else interested?

Last year I was in totonto and i saw a women about 30 years old.

She had gorgeous blonde hair to her ankles.

It was mesmerizing.

I chatted with her for a few minutes and told her how lovely her hair was.

 I'm with you, Dave. My hair is waist length now, but I want to hit my ankles. The woman I am named for had ankle lemgth hair for life, and  I hope to make that at some point.
As fate would have it, my business is all about you.
