I voted before on this poll, but I can't remember when. Still, I want the longest hair possible for me even if I have to PS until I get to the length I'm satisfied with. Right now I don't know when that will be. So I'm willing to grow it indefinitely and I'm not worried about playing anyway because it's often too much hassle for me to wear my hair down anyway. I prefer updo's and buns but I want my hair LONG LONG LONG.
Even Indian women and women from Islamic countries mostly wear their hair up and/or covered (unless inside the bedroom or taking it down to cleanse and condition) But they grow it super long. I just prefer long hair on me regardless. I don't ever see cutting it again.
^I'm 5'2 as well but if mine grows to the floor, so be it. All humans are inherently capable of growing very long hair, longer than 40". Of course, other factors play a role like health, meds, environment, care, diet, etc. I don't buy that genetics crap. Because based on my genes, (if i look at other women in my fam) I should have hair no longer than neck length! Many things can extend or shorten the growing phase, so I just don't buy the genetics argument when it comes to how long it will grow. Actually strand thickness? Yeah (fine, medium, coarse). But not growing phase.
