butt length hair

I always thought this length of hair was disgustingly long until my summer class began. My anatomy professor has hair a lil past her butt! But it looks decent on her. Whenever she turns around to write on the board I think "how in the WORLD does she wash and dry her hair???" The first day of class I kept wondering things like if she ever gets her hair caught on anything... I can even imagine her closing the door on her hair! That length of hair just baffles me. Why would you want your hair that long? It just seems like it would be a huge hassle.
 
I saw a lady like this recently when I was in Old Navy. She was probably in her 40's with past her butt length auburn hair. From what I could see without trying to stare too hard it looked pretty healthy, though the ends could have stood a little trim. They probably just looked scraggly from her hair just being so dang long that she sits on it and it gets caught in things.

I love long hair, but that's where I draw the line. Anything that I can sit on is too long for me.
 
i wonder how they hell do they wash and style hair that long too!! i'd want to grow my hair this length just to prove to myself that i could do it. my lazy ass would probably get tired of styling it after a week.
 
Are these ladies that you all are refering to black?

Anyways, there are a few ladies who have really long hair here like Camellia and others. I alwas wondered what it was like to have hair that long. If my hair continued to grow that long I wouldn't cut it. I'm so greedy:lol:
 
I love hair that long. I see it sometimes around where I live and I always think it looks great. However, the people I see who have it are not white. They are usually from India and their hair looks FANTASTIC, even the ends.

As for me, I would count myself as very fortunate to have hair that long.
 
I think butt length hair looks better on ethnic people. Was that a semi racist comment? :lol:

But seriously, most white folks I see with that kinda length look a little freakish. It's just length- no style, no framing of the face, it's just blagh. So yea in that sense it looks gross and BORING.
 
I would really hate my hair that long. Up to last night I was complaining that I need to cut my hair again. I cut it 2 months ago and it grew back out. It looks good but I'm really not liking the length at all.
Butt length hair looks good on some people but not every one can pull that off.

I agree. I think it looks exotic on women of color. I have a white friend with butt length hair and it's just hanging there, stringy looking. She could do things to make it look very nice but she chooses to wear it like a hippie look.

I know a white girl with butt length naturally red hair that is thick and beautiful. She attracts much attention with it. Since red hair is more rare, I think it can look exotic on all races.

I used to work with a black girl with butt length hair who was from Ethiopia. Now there was some gorgeous, thick luxurious hair and she looked so beautiful with it, attracting compliments (including from me) wherever she went.
 
I just wanted to say that my Anatomy teacher put her up in this cute twisty bun like style and b/c her hair is so long, the remaining hair just hung down to her shoulder. it was cute, but it looked funny and like hard work when i saw her doing it in class!

I don't know if it's because I see her 3 times a week for class.. but i'm starting to become fond of butt length hair.

You would have to ask the owner of that album for their password.

as soon as i read that first line, i assumed you were going to complain about hair in your food :lol:
 
I have a girl in my class with hair passed her butt, its very thin, she puts it in a up bun and it does not look like it would be that long, but its long and I am going to ask her how she gets her hair like that or what does she do to take care of it
 
[size=+2]I'm not sure if I'd want hair passed my butt, but I might grow it out just to show I can, you know.
There's a cople ladies w butt length or almost on here, Unlvgrl, Camellia, Midnightcurls WSL curly/natural hair (hardly comes to the boards but has a fokti album that's open) and there are tons of WSL ladies here.
IMO the best way to know what works for you is to grow your hair out to that length and keep it for a while and then decide, if you feel you look good and comfortable then great but, like less hair cut it back to a length you liked, if you feel you want more hair keep on growing.

Some of us have hair anorexia on this board, you know who you are.
I mean I set a goal get there or close to it then my goal doesn't seem as long as when I 1st set my goal-makes no sense right.[/size]

My new goal is classic length hair (hair that reaches the bottom of the butt)

Washing longer hair isn't that difficult. I wash mine in the shower with all of my hair hanging down in front of me instead of down my back. It's easier for me to make sure I get all of the shampoo and conditioner out and my arms don't get as tired.

I air dry in one or two braids, sometimes a French twist if I'm in a hurry.

There are some beautiful seven strand braids I can't wait to try once I reach my hair goal.
 
I would love to get to WSL unstretched, but butt length and longer is just excessive to me.
 
My screen name is my goal "I want to sit on my hair". I just want to see if I can grow it that long, then I'll keep it trimmed to the top of my jeans. It would be really nice to have thick, full ends at that length.
 
Butt length hair is not too far away now for me, well at least to the butt crack LOL. The longest parts of my hair comes down almost to the top of my pants.

The thing is, if your hair is natural, shrinkage will make the hair look shorter than it really is, so classic length hair on me will look maybe a little longer than waist length.

I agree, thick exotic hair looks a million times better super long than thin European type hair. IMHO.

SC,
I think the length you have right now WSL in your avatar looks great on you, but that's JMO.

Thanks. I'm feeling it a little right now. But I can't imagine having to deal with my hair at butt length. That's why I keep cutting it to keep it this length. Too many tangles.

Did any of you see this from this website? :eek:

Some hair roots just don't produce long hair. Afro hair is a good example of this. It just doesn't seem to grow very long. Of course, you get exceptions to this rule too. So, if your long hair just doesn't seem to be getting any longer, it could be the kind of hair you've got rather than poor treatment.
 
I know I couldn't deal with it but I've never seen a problem with really long hair as long as it's taken care of well. I've seen some butt length hair that looked fabulous.

Definitely agree with you. Butt length type 3 or 4 hair is jaw-droppingly gorgeous whereas type 1 or 2 - unless it's super thick, great color, etc. - just isn't as striking.
