What exactly is Midback???

[curlcomplexity]

Sorry ladies...i'm a little slow when it comes to the length! I have a short torso, I guess. It just seems that the distance from brastrap to MBL is fairly short...

I think midback is half of how many inches it is to WSL from the bottom of your bra...If you have 6 inches from you bra to your waist, then midback would be 3 inches under your bra..

I don't know if this is correct, but once I get past the bottom of my properly-fitting brastrap, I'm calling that MBL. At that point, I am 3 inches from my natural waistline.

BSL to WL is 4 inches for me so I consider MB to be 2 inches below BSL or Full BSL on me.

If you don't mind me asking, how tall are you?

Before I stumbled across this discussion board, I thought mid back meant being in the middle of my back--which was the case with me being bra-clasp length. I never heard of hair being measured against the arm pit and bra clasp until I started reading the threads. So since my hair is about three inches below my clasp, then that's considered lower back in my opinion. Everyone has their own way of interpreting measurements regarding their hair.

Hi! No problem...I'm 5'7 1/2''

I thought I was the only one! Apparently anything significantly below BSL is considered MBL here...

To me, brastrap length and midback length are the same, but that may be different for someone else who may have a taller torso.

 

[meaganita]

Well I'm tall, almost 6ft to be more specific. So there's a difference between BSL and MBL for me. But now I wear my brastrap at the middle of my back. For me MBL is about 3 inches above my waistline.

ITA. I'm 5 feet, not a lot of space between brastrap and midback

 

[Artemis]

Midback is maybe 1-2 inches past bsl on me. I am 5'4"

*counting down the months (and inches!!) till I reach this length*

(((((BUMP))))) I would like more opinions if possible. TIA!

That's what I assumed. It's halfway between BSL and WL. My brastrap is only an inch or so above my waist so I really don't have a midback.

 

[silverlotus]

I consider midback halfway between BSL and WSL. On me, that's about 2 inches past the bottom of BSL.

 

[curlcomplexity]

O.K. thanks so much ladies! Even though BSL = the middle of my back, I think I'll change my goal to 2 inches past the bottom of my bra strap...does this seem fair?

 

[pistachio]

According to the chart, It seems that BSL is the top of the BS and MBL is the bottom of it. there's only like a two inch differnce between BSL and MBL, but like 4-5 inches between MBL and WL. This actually agrees with what I always thought MBL was.

Ditto for me as well!!!

I am guessing depending on how tall you are MB should be between 1-3" past BSL..

 

[Princess Pie]

Full BSL and midback are basically the same thing for me. I'm very tall, but my torso is shorter.

 

[aurora3140]

If you look at the APL and WL marks on the chart, MBL is about half the distance between APL and WL.

 

[*Frisky*]

I really dont agree with the chart but some people do so I guess it is your own personal preference where it is since people have different views about it.

 

[EbonyHairedPrincess]

ITA. This changes what I thought.

 

[the_UnPrettiest_pretty]

Looks like to me that WL could be above, at, or just below the belly button. I got that from a member on another board. That's how she measured her WL hair. When I think about it, it does kinda make sense to look at it that way, but everyone has different views. Just throwing that out there..........
