Shoulder-length hair--what do you think?

[spacetygrss]

So, as my siggy notes, I've been natural for 7 years. I grew my hair out to APL, then locked. In May I decided to cut my hair for a new start. Anyhow, my first goal is full shoulder-length. I see a lot of different pictures with what people are calling shoulder-length and was just trying to get a feel of when, on average, people consider hair to be shoulder length.

I tend to consider shoulder length to be when the air hanging on the sides of the head reaches mid-clavicle (the area of the collarbone that is "dipped" downward towards the ground) and when the hair in the back reaches an equivalent length in the back (imagine taking a laser pointer and shining a light from mid-collarbone through to your back).

What do you think?

I think it is when all hair touches the top of the shoulders.

I think it's SL when the hair sits comfortably on the shoulders

Thank you so much! I have been looking for this thread forever- I saw it a long time ago. I was trying to decide if my hair is SL yet.
