Am i the only person who doesn't want very long hair?!!!

i dont want waist length hair either, but if I do reach that point I wont be disappointed. My main goal is to get my hair to mid back and I will be happy. What the heck I'd be happy at bra strap length right now. I've had weaves around waist length and had to cut them down because the length wasn't flattering on me. Also it caused problems like getting caught on the back of chairs and constantly having to put the hair up to eat and use the bathroom. If it were my own hair it probably be in a bun all of the time. I want to wear my hair down and straight eventually. So those traditionally long hair lengths aren't for me. So don't feel alone. I don't want long hair either. All Im worried about is healthy, shiny, and soft hair that is a reasonable length.
 
I'm thinking I might go an inch or two longer so when I have curls it is still hanging. I do not want waist length. Def healthy hair is always my goal!
 
My goal was to grow my hair back to MBL but my hair is so thin. The longer it gets the thinner it gets. I might just go with full blunt cut BSL.
 
All i want right now is SL.. then move on to healthy APL

I once had a dream that i grew my hair to MBL and let it down after years of bunning. I hated it on me and people around me did too. I had to cut back to SL to be happy again! THAT must be a sign :grin:

Today, I was trying to play with my friend's classic length hair, and I admit it was kind of annoying. I couldn't even move her hair without it getting tangled or stuck on something.


I still wouldn't mind having CL hair for myself though. I am a long hair addict.
 
At the moment, I want full BSL and I am sure that even if my hair does not grow any longer that I will be satisfied.

But I am pretty sure that when I when get there, I will be curious to know just how long my hair can get

I've worn my hair long (BSL and longer) for many years. I've cut it and regrown it several times.

I just shopped anothe 3-4" off this week bringing it right above BSL stretched and it looks so much better.

Especially as I get older, I think that I look better with shorter hair. Sorry!!
 
Lol, I want SL. Anything after that is a bonus. Besides whats the point of being neck length and constantly thinking about hiplength, each to their own but i know it would make me depressed and not appreaciate the mini successes.

Although.......I'm sure that everyone is like this to start off with, when you reach the goal thats when the hairorexia kicks in so I may be speaking too soon:look:
 
I thought that was me, now that I'm relaxed bone-straight. Straight BSL would be more than enough.

Now that I'm thinking about natural hair again, TBL is the limit. :lachen:
 
My goals keep changing. When I first joined, I was like "I want APL." Then I did the BC and went natural and I'm thinking "BSL unstrectched would be great." Then a few months later I was thinking WL natural hair would be HOT!!!

But now I am realizing how much work it is for my hair (I'm barely pushing SL unstrecthed) and I'm wondering can I really handle natural BSL hair? I don't have that much patience. I could maybe for relaxed hair, but I really don't want to go back to that. I'll just be happy to see that I"m making progress. :grin:

I've seen a few ladies on here with really long waist length (or longer) hair & although it looks lovely - to me it just looks like it would be very hard to manage!
I have neck length & basically just happy to have healthy shoulder length or maybe even armpit length.
Anyone feel the same?

Speak for yourself sister! I wanna MBL hair. I can't wait to see how it looks on me.
 
I want waistlength hair. It's gonna look beautiful! I'm 1 inch from BSL now. Next is MBL then, my precoius WL!!
 
for me personally, i would love my hair to get to waist length, but i am short so bra strap, or mid back would be enough for me too. i am just amazed at the women on this board that have been able to grow there hair that long. once i get my hair to that length, you wouldn't be able to tell me nothing or to sit down! LOL!
 
My goal length changes. Ideally I would like to be full BSL. But honestly I'd be happy with full SL. Full SL would be the longest my hair has ever been in my life. I'm almost there now.
 
p381 no, I don't think you are the ONLY person who doesn't want very long hair. What I do think is that, because this is a long hair care forum we sometimes become a little too touchy with those who are choosing not to grow their hair to WL and beyond. Hair length is a personal choice, and we should respect the choices that our sisters make.

Personally, I want at least TBL and that was my goal from the beginning. Although I want it, I don't sit around pining away over getting it. I just take care of my hair to keep it healthy, and allow time to pass. I don't worry too much about styling hair that long, because to me the length is the style.
 
When I first joined the forum, I wanted MBL hair, then I changed my mind and wanted only BSL hair, now I only want healthy, thick, bluntly cut APL hair. I dunno, it may change again for BSL hair but no longer than that I'm sure:yep:.

ETA: I did make it to touching BSL in December 2008 and was going for full BSL when I decided to transition to texlaxed hair in January 2009, and had to start trimming off the bone-straight relaxed hair and still cutting. I don't want to BC so I am slowly making my way back to full APL.

The longest my hair has even been in my life is shoulder length. My hair is very brittle and easy to break off.

My long term goal is APL with some BANGING layers and FULL, healthy, and shiny. :yep: That would be a BIG accomplishment. I have never had hair past my shoulders and neither has anyone else in my family.

Last summer I reached close to shoulder length with layers and it was full and healthy all over (til my work schedule got crazy, my stylist moved, and i fell off my game). I was pretty happy with my hair at the time and didn't wish for any more length really.

I'm 5'1 and small so I don't really think super long hair would look good on me. Nor do I think I'd every want my hair all one length. I think face framing layers/feathers look cuter on me.

Would that be SL/APL natural or straightened? Shrinkage makes all the difference! I don't know that I would keep my hair as long if I straightened all the time, or were relaxed. Since it is natural and curly/kinky 99% of the time, it only looks about APL anyway.

It would have to be relaxed as i really wouldn't be able to cope with my natural hair if it were that long.
I couldn't even cope with it when it was natural at Ear length!:grin:
 
I just want health, BSL hair. I think i'm developing hair anorexia though...too much time spent on these boards ! someone told me i had long hair the other day and i rolled my eyes !
