I've had BSL natural hair before and I locked it because it was too much work. This time around I'm hoping that an improved regimen & my handy dandy tangle teezer will make things easier. I wouldn't mind having classic length hair because I have so much shrinkage, but I don't know yet if I will be able to manage all that hair, so time will tell. If not I would probably lock again rather than wear a short cut.
 
@EllePixie :rofl: I know, right?! I'm telling you, I don't know how those ladies in the TBL crackin' challenge are doing it. :lachen:

Seriously though, I guess I'll know when I get there but I'll probably stop at BSL unstretched no matter what. That length seems to be a pretty good goal. For now. :lol:

:lol::lol: I would put my hair in a quick pony eeeeeverrrry time I went to the bathroom. I just want my hair to go over my boobs like a mermaid...:look:
 
Funny! I didn't vote becuase I'm aiming for TBL....lol!
Greedy but loving it!
Maybe knee length would be too much - but with my shrinkage, who knows right!
 
Full BSL (at the bottom of my bra strap) works just fine for me since I have a shorter torso. Reaching full BSL only puts me 2 inches away from MBL. But who knows, when I get to full BSL, I may just go for those 2 extra inches. :grin:
 
WL or HL maybe, only because its about 3 " (MAX) away from waist, and HL may give me a little more to work with because my hair will probably shrink up to APL anyway.
 
Ceiling length!! :grin:

Seriously though, I want all the hair I can possibly retain!! Anything past knee length would be a bit ridiculous on me though. Lord only knows what 4a hair shrinks up to at knee length...anyone got examples of it?

OT: Who's the longest 4a out there?
 
I voted MBL, though I think that might be a bit much. I know how lazy I am, and I feel that at around that length, my hair would become too much of a chore to deal with, providing that my hair can even grow that long in the first place.:rolleyes:

My current goal is full APL, and even that's a lofty aspiration for someone whose spent the vast majority of her life in EL, NL territory. I think I'd like to grow my hair as long as I possibly can, then (if necessary) cut and maintain it around BSB-BSL

I was just thinking about cutting my hair. I'm around MBL however I have thin ends. My hair is thin period IMO. Outside of this board I have long, beautiful hair however when I come here I feel below average or like a loser for lack of better words...LOL. I relax next weekend and I plan to go to Supercuts for bangs. Who know? I may leave out of there with a short bob. For me full MBL with thicker ends is long enough for me.

LOL you are not alone in this!

By the way, anything past my butt is just out of the question.
 
Hi everyone, Great thread OP! ummm I don't have much hair so I can't even imagine what would be too much! I would say at this point anything past BSL would be too much for me to even think about, however, when I get there I may change my mind!
 
I want to grow my hair to MBL - unstretched. I want curls flowing down my back! (honestly they'll probably be stickin straight up from the top of my head. lol) Once my hair got to that length, I'd probably never straighten it. I can't deal with WL/HL straight hair. But I can just imagine all the styles I'd try with MBL curls. :drool:
 
Anything past mbl will be too long for me. My hair is already irritating me and I am just past apl! I just want long enough hair that it looks long whether it is braided or loose.
 
I plan to grow as long as I possibly can.. I really don't seem myself cutting my hair BACK to any length because its "too long". I've never had long hair so I don't know what my growth limit is.
 
It used to be APL...then BSL...now, I just want to be full u-shaped MBL. So, I am going to grow until WL and then cut.
 
I think anything I could sit on would be too long for me.

I want HL stretched because I wear a lot of shrunken twists and braids, so they would probably fall to past sl at that length.
 
I only want my hair to be MBL. Anything over that would be too much for me to handle. And too heavy because I'm going to be locked.
 
The longest my have has ever been was full BSL and it drove me nuts. I'm going to keep towards my goal of MBL but I can see myself cutting it back to BSL after a while.

Apl w/ long layers straightened has always been my goal. Hopefully I should be there end of this year. I'm five one, I think that will be enough hair. I want my hair to be flattering and stylish.

I'm natural so I may try to get to bsl just to have longer natural styles.
