So when do YOU consider hair long?

Waist length on me

Armpit length for everybody else

I've seen full APL on everyday people and it looks long to me. But then I've seen layered BSL on a coworker and that didn't look so long. I don't think I will be satisfied with calling my hair long until MBL since I have such drastic layers.

BSL and beyond.

Whenever I reach a goal I consider my hair long.... Then a couple weeks later I develop sporadic hairexia again...

Idk why. Sometimes I look at my hair & I'm like *flavor flav voice* "Waooow! Can't believe it's all mine. "

Other times I look at my hair & think "Meh... I've seen better *shrugs* "

I think I'm so self-centered because I seem to only care about my hair. My hair is long every time I look at it and find it longer than the last time I looked, so at any time, I consider my hair long coz I do remember a time when I thought 6 inches was the longest my hair could get.

I think when it comes to other people's hair, I am usually impressed if it looks healthy and then if it's longer than the hair of everyone around, then I'll notice the length. Otherwise, I seem to just admire healthy looking hair and beautiful styles. LHCF has spoiled me so that I'm rarely wowed by hair I used to consider long unless it's mine.

i am JUST like that! Super excited about the length. . . then 2 days later i'm like. . .eh.

I'm seeing the BSL-WL "blending in as one length" thing a lot in this thread.
They're like. . . 5 inches apart for me. They better not blend in! I wanna see a noticeable difference. When I'm excited about hitting waistlength and then everyone else is unimpressed . . . "You hair was always long tho". I'd be heated

Random: Before you guys started your hair journey, do you ever remember looking back on someone who's hair you thought was soooo long. . . then going through a yearbook or seeing them again in person and their hair is slightly . . .less climatic than you remembered due to the vast information you've learned/ the gorgeous heads you've seen on LHCF? I coulda sworn this girls hair was at least MBL. . . looked through a yearbook and she was barely scraping APL.

It really made me sad, lol. Felt like I'd discovered Santa wasn't real.

To me, Full APL will be long because my sides are close to the same length as the back. When I see various nationalities and someone has thick full APL or beyond I see their hair as long. When I see thin, scragly APL, just doesn't seem long to me. Full SL is medium to me.

I don't know. Right now it seems meh to me. I don't think it's long. It is LONGER then last year. I think I chopped it up so much in my life that it just really doesn't ever seem long.

MAYBe I am confusing my wig hair with my hair LOL

 

[kupenda]

My hair will be long to me probably when I reach somewhere around BSB. That's when my hair will cover my boobies lol. On other people, ehh. BSL

I've been thinking about this question a lot lately. I did a mid-quarter update Thanksgiving weekend (pic in my siggy). When I look at the picture, I think 'dang my hair seems long' but IRL, it doesn't seem so long or rather it seems it's always hung APL/BSL.

The image i have in my head is MBL curly. That aint gonna happen realistically speaking -- my hair shrinks too much and I'm not sure I can deal with classic or thigh length hair.

I think I need to change my perception of what's long hair on me.

 

[MsDes]

I consider BSL/MBL and beyond to be long. Full SL/APL = medium length, IMO.

 

[Barbara]

I consider Full BSL+ long. My hair is currently APL and I do consider this medium length, but once I reach BSL I will know my hair is long.

I totally agree with you.

 

[WhippedButterCreme]

Someone mentioned 'thickness' for hair. I have to agree, because w/ my hair bsl straight, it didn't look long imo.

But when I wet it and curled it, it was thick and at apl and I would have a) the double takes and stares or b) people trying to find reasons to put their hands in my hair 'your shoes are untied...can i touch your hair?' ..which would lead to VIOLENCE!
