I will provide a diagram so that there's no question.

Please use the diagram as your reference point...

For me, I'm gonna say anything past Tailbone,


What is too long for you personally?

Remember this is a question for you, not others.

If I can sit on it, it is too long for me.

I agree with you. I believe at some point, too long hair becomes unsanitary. I also believe extremes are bad and limiting. Too short hair and too long hair are both limited in the styles you can wear. I apologize if I've offended anyone in advance...

Clarification:: I edited this because I just wanted to add that this answer is for me personally, so I am not implying anything to anyone else. Thanks.

ITA, if it's dragging on the floor then that can be a problem. But personally, i love hair of different length as long as it's healthy. It's mesmirizing.:drunk:

Can I holla back when I get there?:grin: Well, since (my) natural hair grows kinda "up" and not down, I would say the sky's the limit! Otherwise, I agree with fabiennd....

:lachen::lachen::lachen: ITA - the sky is the limit. I thought I knew because I thought my hair would grow down, but it is growing out and the only way I may be, ahh scratch that the only way I can see length is when it is in braids, twists or put some heat to it.

For now I am in the same boat, I will holla back when I get there, or if I get there.:yep: - Ahhh the joys of shrinkage!!!!
 
Re: At what Length is hair no longer flattering??? (Warning this may be controversial

When it starts to get caught when you are trying to buckle your pants. Or when things start to fall in it like food, ketchup, etc.... when you can no longer wear it out, it has to be in a bun at all times or else it may cause harm to yourself and others or when dogs start chasing after it, i think its time for a new look.
 
Re: At what Length is hair no longer flattering??? (Warning this may be controversial

Anything past midback length, personally is too long FOR ME. After that, it seems that hair would be in the way of everything. Not to mention the prices that salons would try to charge if I wanted to treat myself to a nice style for a change. For me MBL is perfect and my goal. Anything after that Will get trimmed/cut back the MLB.
 
Re: At what Length is hair no longer flattering??? (Warning this may be controversial

At what length would hair no longer be flattering on ME??? (cuz really, I can't comment on other folx hair lengths - I'm sure there is a woman out there with hair past the floor and it looks DAMN good on her) - I'd say about classic (right under the butt). And I still think it would look good on me, it's just the haggard face and crippled up fingers from taking care of it would reduce my sexy. :grin:
 
Re: At what Length is hair no longer flattering??? (Warning this may be controversial

I voted tailbone length would be too long, for me personally. I actually plan to maintain my length at waistlength or hipbone.
 
Re: At what Length is hair no longer flattering??? (Warning this may be controversial

Anything past waistlength would be too much for me.
 
Re: At what Length is hair no longer flattering??? (Warning this may be controversial

I think tail bone would be way too long on me, if I straightened my hair. I can't even imagine having to detangle that much hair!
 
Re: At what Length is hair no longer flattering??? (Warning this may be controversial

It depends on ther person and the health of the hair. For me, probably tailbone.

Can't vote... I agree with this.


EDIT: On me... probably tailbone. My grandmother had tailbone length hair and she wore it up all the time. I'd probably do the same.

It's the same for me. Anything longer than that usually looks out of date and unattractive.
 
Re: At what Length is hair no longer flattering??? (Warning this may be controversial

I myself probably wouldn't want to go past waist length. But I think healthy hair no matter what length is flattering. I love seeing the people with extremely long hair though. They are like a life size Barbie to me.
 
Re: At what Length is hair no longer flattering??? (Warning this may be controversial

For MEEEEEE personally (stressing MEEEEEEE because I don't want to offend anyone), I think anything longer than APL would be tiresome. Anything longer than BSL would be unflattering. Anything longer than WL would be unsanitary.
 
Re: At what Length is hair no longer flattering??? (Warning this may be controversial

In my opinion past a certain length is just ridiculous - like thigh, knees, down to the floor etc... it would get caught in everything :look: For me I think I would be content with APL to BSL. Overall I think whether a particular length would be flattering or not depends on the face shape of the person.

tailbone length, wether that be tailbone straight or tailbone natural. example if i were waist length natural unstretched id never straighten my hair , because i think it would look to long for me.

Same here although I've only ever seen type 1 and 2 hair longer than classic. I suspect I would think a type 3 or 4 at classic or longer the most beautiful head of hair in the world.
 
Re: At what Length is hair no longer flattering??? (Warning this may be controversial

I know for me, I really don't want anything past MBL. But I think that depending you how well maintained/styled the hair, it can be attractive at almost any length
 
Re: At what Length is hair no longer flattering??? (Warning this may be controversial

i will go w/ tailbone.....BUT it depends. i think bone straight hair is unflattering after midbackich-length. It just hangs there doing absolutely nothing for the person's look.
to be longer in length you really need some body, waves, curls, kinks... nahmean?
