QuoteReplyTopic: How long is your hair? What`s your hair-length goals? Posted: November 21 2001 at 3:46pm
I think you may be a bit ambitious on 6 months, but there is no harm in hoping.... I have gone a little over three and 1/2 years without a trim and the hair is just at waist length. Being in the computer field working with engineers.... well let`s just say that I look a bit conservative compared to some of the customers... .
hi- It took a while thanks to an accident that left me with way too short hair, but now it is shoulder plus a bit length and I`m aiming for middle of back, just beyond bra strap length. perhaps the worst part was getting it to a length where I could put it in a ponytail and not have fly aways all over my face.
Sigh, one year to get this far, probably another two to achieve my current goal, irritating, especially as I was half way there before.
I know how you feel, thats the way mine is... It`s just barely above my shoulders and I hate the way it looks (some yucky grown out layers) but I refuse to cut it. When i get really fed up I just put it up into a pony tail or bun. That`s the only really stupendous advise I can offer about letting it grow out.

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 is about 3 inches below my shoulders. I want to grow it back to waist length. I got it cut at a hair trade show. For anyone interested, modelling at hair trade shows can be fun but watch out. While I didn`t get paid, I got a free colour and cut. The colour really dried out (fried) my hair and I couldn`t use the products they gave me. If you want long hair, grow it!!! My reply to job interviewers who ask "How can you work with all that hair?" is "I never allow my hair to operate the office machines. I use my hands." I actually spend less time and money on my long hair than people with short fluffy hair. Use professional hair products only. A big bottle of shampoo costs maybe $30 but if you are going to a hairstylist ever 6 wks for cut and colour....... $$$$$. Do want YOU want. You can braid or tie up your hair for work. It`s not like I spend all day combing it. LONG HAIR IS REWARDING!!!!
My hair is at my shoulders and I want to get it to probably lower back, long enough to do stuff with but not so long I can only do bun or braid. I usually wear it in a ponytail but I have started to p[ractice my braiding and another great way to wear this length is half-up with a beak-clip. If I find it is less versaile as it gets longer I will stop but who knows? Part of the adventure I guess

Hey, Karen Marie! Good to see you here too.... Think I agree with you about 12 inches on the floor...baaaaaad idea....half an inch at a time will get there in the end...just take a while longer.
Oh, I should introduce mine...about a yard, light brown, working on catching you up! :o) Chris
I have a very few bangs which I quit cutting in 1996. They are now three feet long, but the rest of my hair is four feet long, so I keep cutting a little here and a little there to allow my bangs to catch up.
I typically wear my "bangs" up in barrettes because I think it looks funny down with different lengths, at least on my head.
So I am patiently trying to obtain the goal of one solid straight across length in the back. I could just chop off a foot of hair and be there, but the thought of twelve inches on the floor doesn`t sound too good right now.

My hair just grazes the bottom of my bra strap, but is sort of rounded in shape, so it`s a little shorter on the sides and longer in the center. It`s approx. 26 inches when measured from my hairline (forehead) to the longest part down the center back. It`s pretty straight, unless I gently scrunch it while damp.
My hair-length goal is as long as humanly possible for me... but my hair grows SLOWLY, and I`m making up for lost time (I lost my hair 12 yrs. ago to chemo), so I`m now obsessed with growing it as long as I can.
I used to be a Pantene junkie, until I began researching products on the net... Based on lots of great reviews on several sites, I switched to Artec textureline volume shampoo/conditioner & Moisture Pac deep conditioner, and I`m trimming the barest minimum of split ends, and my hair feels and looks much healthier! So thanks to all the tidbits and advice from everyone on the site!!

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 . . . --Tock

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!!
