Please forgive my many questions. I just found this long hair board and have so many thoughts. I hope you all don`t mind.
So how long is long hair really? My stylist told me it is not "long" until it is bra length. However, my friends say that long is really shoulder length or longer. Then someone else said that long is waist length. My head is spinning.
Anythoughts?

Long hair is indeed in the eye of the be-holder, what ever you consider to be long hair might not be what other people consider to be long hair.

I agree, a friend I hadn`t seen in while told me that her hair had gotten really long. When I met her for lunch the next day it was just past her shoulders, which to me is still short. My hair is just above my waist and it just starting to feel long. Obviously two different opinions on what length long hair is.

I think any hair that is waistlength or longer is Really Long.
Bra strap length is long but not out of the ordinary

A fun question! I`ve thought about it, and would say that arbitrary as this is, in the context
of OUR times, short hair on a woman is shorter than chin length or so, medium hair is chin-
length to a bit more than collar length, medium-longish hair is from just above the shoulders
to a little over the shoulders, moderately really long hair is from about the bottom of the
shoulder blade to the bra strap, longer really long hair is from the small of your back down
to elbows or so, and very long hair anything longer.

I agree with what Duke says. I think just below shoulder length can be classified as long hair and anything bra strap length or longer can be classified as very long hair. Simplistic, but it works for me! LOL!
