longest hair I have seen

Wow!! How long is her hair now? Did she grow it back again? Ankle length hair....woah! Thanks for sharing

I wonder why she went from ultra long to really short.  She did not want to go short gradually? Like cut it to waist length, then BSL, then go shorter from there.  Oh well......that's just really interesting

The longest hair I ever saw was on my friend in elementary school (when we were 12).  It reached her knees then, and she had agreed to follow a tradition when she was 4 years old not to cut her hair until she was 18 (just in case she would, her parents didn't cut her hair before age 4 either).  I saw her again once after that when we were maybe 14 or 15, but I didn't see the length of her hair at that time because she didn't want to take it down and show me, she said it was too much work to put it back up (I don't blame her of course, I thought it would be neat to see it, but thats not why I went to visit so I didn't care. And she was probably sick of it by then too).  It was neat hair I have to say, what I remember when I was 12.  It was black at the top couple of feet, then dark brown, then tapered to red ends with the very last inch blonde.  She always got tons of oooos and aaaahs the rare times she wore it down. 
  

Ahhhh, sweet! The longest hair I've seen is on some of my asian friends when I went to a wedding and a lot of them had hair in between their bum and their knees. 

Wow everyone those are some pretty cool stories about long hair.
Rini: I’m not sure why she didn’t gradually shorten her hair but it was a lot of work for her. It took a lot of shampoo, she had to get help combing it and it was very heavy, bad for the neck. Styling it was also very difficult. I use to help her braid it, I started off standing close to her and then backing further and further and further away lol. It looked very nice but it definitely had its disadvantages as well. I want my hair long but I don’t think I could handle it that long it would be too impractical for me.

 

 

I'm pretty sure I couldn't handle it that long either.  It takes a special person to be so patient! I'm trying for thigh length to see what its like, then if I can't handle it I will go a little shorter.  I'd really like to keep  it thigh length, but at least I don't think I'll ever go shorter than tailbone length again.

Are the different hair lengths shoulders, shoulder blades, bra strap, elbows, waist, hip, tailbone, thigh, knee, ankes? Also, what is classic length? Sorry to be so uninformed

no, fingertip length is when it reaches your fingertips. Classic is just below your bum. Yeah, those are basically the lengths but add in golden ratio (about mid thigh-so called because it's about 2/3 of the body or something)

it's afternoon/evening now...
Pleased to be of help.

A few years ago I did some extensive study on phi. Classic length is what evolved from Golden Ratio (called phi, or 1.618..... or .618.... they are both reciprocal, irrational numbers)

Golden Ratio, or phi, is supposed to be the most attractive proportion. It's also manifested (vaguely) as the "Rule of Thirds", where ideally the focal point of an art piece or a photo should be on the first or last third of a space to have it "look good".

The calculation is [the square root of five, plus or minus one] the quantity divided by two.

Golden Ratio is actually about fingertip length, and the inverse of the Golden length is actually about waist length. This is why both waist and classic are "theoretically" the most attractive lengths for long hair. I think the practice of having fingertip length eventually evolved into classic length because classic length is the borderline between what you can and cannot comb by yourself. Not that people in ancient days didn't have hair minions!!!

I hope this explains some.
