Spinoff: Do YOU Consider Yourself Short, Medium, Long, or Extra Long Haired?

[Janet']

I'm so glad that I'm not the only BSB/BSL girlie who thinks of my hair as medium length...So, does that mean that we have hairnorexia, lol?

 

[**SaSSy**]

My hair is considered long in terms of the actual definition, but compare to ladies here on the hair board my hair is "average" length IMO

 

[LunadeMiel]

I'm BSL and I think that my hair is short/medium. I think long starts at WL. Really long starts at tailbone

 

[Ms.Christ3n]

I chose short haired. Although I've passed APL I still feel like my hair is short. It will be medium when it is BSL and long when it is MBL.

In the black community, I guess my hair would be considered medium or long....but I was looking at all women's hair lengths and what I consider to be long.

 

[CrissieD]

On LHCF I have super short hair LOL but I kn ow that in real ife my APL/scraping BSL is medium.

 

[newbeginnings2010]

I'm SL, my hair is short, and I don't care what anyone thinks! I'll get to natural BSB eventually!

 

[NikkiQ]

I think I must've been drunk when I voted on 'medium'. Lord knows I'm short

 

[HoneyA]

I am full MBL but touching WL so I guess that's long. I think HL is the beginning of extra long hair. By the time you hit TBL and beyond, well...

I think whether you feel your hair is long or not also has to do with if you are natural or not.
I think I will always have a hard time thinking of my hair as long because of the shrinkage. With shrinkage my hair, even when it is soaking and dripping wet, is always above or a little past shoulder length. Stretching my hair does not make much of a long term difference in my mind because as soon as I let go of the hair, it is back to my shoulders.
I'll probably fall over in a dead faint, due to shock, the first time I straighten my hair and see it's actual length.

 

[Goombay_Summer]

I'm MBL, before LHCF I would have said that my hair was long now I'm more conservative about what hair length constitutes long hair.

 

[Quailbird]

I consider myself medium length. I may consider my hair long when it's full waistlength. I think the fact that I wear my hair in a curly state a majority of the time attributes to my feelings.

 

[lovelyone80]

APL which I consider medium.

 

[thaidreams]

I feel I'm a "medium haired lady" since I usually don't press my hair.

 

[teacherjess]

2 or 3 years ago prior to LHCF I would have considered myself medium to long at this stage (even though I'm just a solid SL). Now I am definitely short haired! After seeing the beautiful heads on this board, I have a long long way to go to get to "long haired" LOL

 

[WorkInProgress88]

APL and i would say im medium but it still feels too short for me, when i first started my journey i said i would be satisfied with APL but no, i need MBL hair now

 

[RedVelvet310]

I consider myself medium hair length.. short hair IMO is anything above shoulder length... I'm between SL and APL

 

[Katherina]

Almost BSL here (LOL I ain't sayin APL cuz that was 2.5-3 inches ago!). I usually wear my hair in twistouts or braidouts (they're SL), so I would say medium.

 

[PearlyCurly]

Im APL and i consider my self short length!
I will never consider my hair long until it reaches WL.

 

[kittykhat]

Short. But I would say medium is full shoulder length and long is APL.

 

[Dee Raven]

I'm MBL about an inch from WL and I consider myself to be medium. To me long is closer to hip length and extra long is past tailbone.

 

[Dragon_Of_Vaeros]

I'm a few inches past waist length, but I consider my hair to be medium length.

When it reaches TB length and a bit thicker, then I will consider it long.

 

[brg240]

My hair is wl and I realize people consider my hair is long but when I look it think can't wait til it's long. I am also am a sufferer of hairnorexia. When I reach hl then I'll think it's long.

that said when I see other women with bsl(or full apl)& longer length hair I'll think 'oh wow their hair is so long'

 

[doobiequeen88]

I don't see myself long until I have thick, healthy APL hair

 

[mstk]

I think I am around APL, but I'm waiting until fall to straighten again. I would consider myself medium haired. The threshold for long hair for me is BSL, but I think my ultimate goal is MBL fully texlaxed.

 

[kittikat24]

I voted Medium, since I'm apl unstretched.
But, I can see why IRL ppl call my hair "long" when its in huge buns/bantu knot outs, I believe the thickness has alot to do w/ it, rather than the length.

When my hair is FULL BSL chasing MBL, that's when I'll consider myself w/ long hair.

[iri9109]

im sure there's no discrepancy that my hair is short lol but when i had relaxed hair my hair was about just below shoulder length and everyone always said i had long hair & i always thought it was short...i consider apl hair long, but if/when i get to apl, i'll probably consider that medium length...any thing BSL and beyond is long hair to me...WL is extra long

 

[Sasha299]

Stretched, my hair reaches APL but its short because most of the time its not stretched and its BARELY neck length.
