2025/2026 - Journey to SL/APL/BSL Challenge

I was a member on the The Long Hair Community before I was a member here so I always went by their chart. Only thing I wouldn't use is BSL because depending on person's height and cup size, there could a 1-2 inch difference in where the bra strap lands on the back.

Do you have a copy of that chart that you could share with us?

So BSL on your chart starts somewhere other than the bra band?

Yes. It’s like right under APL maybe 2 inches off but that’s how I see it.

That’s a long back in that picture Lolol @faithVA

I believe this is a repost as the original TLHC site went down about 12-13 years ago and they lost a lot posts and pictures. There were several people who had beyond knee length hair but they only have individual posts, not like this chart above. The reason some of the lengths have measurements on the side is because many members over there are from Europe, Asia, or Australia. I still occasionally go over their to lurk, but I haven't actually posted anything in like 10 years.


Edit to add
I was able to get into the archives over there and found this illustrated chart as well.

I took my mini braids out on Thursday night/ Friday morning. Currently rocking 2 French braids. Plan is to clarify and DC tomorrow in preparation for color and length check on Wednesday.

Change of plans. Me and my dog just finished our Hot Girl Walk and I'm way to tired and sweaty do my hair right now. The length check will be up tomorrow before church.
