How long is your hair? What`s your hair-length goals?

Well I`m new to this board (I hail from www.longhairlovers.com which has a few excellent message boards) so I figured I`d ask the age-old question. How long is your hair? (make sure to specify HOW you measure your hair, from where y`know...)

How long do you want it to be?

*runs off to measure hair*

*from my hairline, over my head, to my tips it`s 31 inches
*from root to tips it`s 28 (I don`t like this method because depending on which hair you grab it can differ a lot!)
*it goes just below my waist (like, just inches)

*I want it to get to "classic" length, or right below my bum, which is about (omg!) a mere 10 inches away :)

My hair length goal now is midback length, it can be reached in 1 and 1/2 year if the hair continues growing and not too much split ends have to removed, and if genetics will behave friendly. But there exist a lot of hair pills I didn`t have used yet.

My length & goals are a lot like you, "SnowWhite". I just had a trim yesterday, and my hair is about an inch above my brap strap in back. Measured from the crown down, it`s 16 1/2 inches. I have the same short term goal, which is getting below my bra strap (probably 1 year from now, based on recent progress & trims), and then a longer term goal of halfway from there to my waist (2-3 years from now). I would love to get to waistlength after that, but I`m not sure it`ll grow that long any more (I`m 41) or look good at that length. Good look to everybody with their goals!

My hair is about 3 ft. long...(thigh length).....I`m an aspiring Crystal Gayle....I`m trying for the floor...

My hair touches my collarbone. Duh... long way to go!

My goal is to let my gray hair area which is about 1 1/2 inches from my scalp grow out. I plan to keep my hair at this length until the gray part evens out and then let it grow, grow grow! I wonder how it will look in the end? I wonder if I can stand looking at myself with half gray hair and half dark brown while it grows out!!! Uck!

I`ve had my hair to my hips before and would like to have it to my waist again. As I remember it was more versatile at that length for me. When it got longer than that I found it painfully heavy to wear on my head.

I love finding this board as I need lots of support to keep my little dream alive. After all how many women dream of having long, gray hair!!!!! Yikes!! LOL

Wishing everyone`s long hair dreams come true!

Hi All, My hair goes down to the bottom of my elbows. It has taken a few years to get this long and I absolutely love it. I usually wear it in a ponytail or braid it. I love the french braid best. In my job having such long hair is not a problem. I`m a cosmetoologist, so people expect me to be somewhat feminine, and I don`t dissapoint them. I would like my hair to just reach the top of my belt. I love to wear it loose when I am not working.

Mine`s in layers (uhg!!!) to my shoulders (just barely). My goal is to have it all to just below my bra straps, no layers, and all one color (I bleached it last september and still have weird colors at the bottom). To get it to my bra straps will take about 10 months, 14 to get all the layers out, and 26 to be all one color. *sigh* I can only hope that I make it. But once I can get it about 2" below my shoulders I think I will stop obsessing!
Luck to all who love their long hair!

I just got my hair cut yesterday. It was about 2 inches below my bra strap. I liked the way it look at that length when I was standing still, BUT whenever I would move, my hair would be in my face, stuck in my chapstick, tangled, flat and stuck to my head, etc. Also I am in the Army, so I had to wear it in a bun everday. That bun was HEAVY :) and hard to fit under my helmut when I had to go the firing range. I also had breakage from all the Army wear and tear. Anyways, to get to the point, I now have a chin legnth bob--I have had this style before and I love it. I know it takes about 2 years to grow it back to the length that it was, and I will probably do that when I get out in May 2004! At that time I will be needing much support and I hope this site is still around! :) When my hair was long I always wore it up due to all the problems that I listed. I would like advice on how to wear long hair down and avoid all that too!! :) Thanks for listening. I love hair!!

mines 31 inches and Im just gunna keep ging till its time for a change and for all the people who want LONG hair it takes a lot of contioner to get a brush though it

Mine`s down to the bottom of my shoulders . . . looks pretty good for a 45 year old guy, if I say so myself . . .
Retired from the high-tech biz earlier this year, did some travelling, sat around the house for a while, got bored and am now going to a beauty school to do hair (for fun & profit) . . . is lots more fun than microchips, for sure . . .
