What's the longest that your hair has ever been as an adult (let's say adult is 18 and older)? It's current length MBL

Is your hair currently that long or did you cut it, not take care of it, etc... It's currently that long. It may be longer now. I haven't measured it in a few months.

I thought my hair was terminally at SL...but I now know that's not true...What about you? I thought the longer my hair would ever get was APL. Now I know that's not true. I can see my hair being hip length straightened. Although it will still only SL shrunk. My current length doesn't even hit my shoulders when it dries. I have that much shrinkage.

See my answers above. Good question.
 
My hair is currently the longest with my longest strands touching HL stretched. I never thought about a terminal length or growing beyond MBL until I discovered the long hair site
 
As an adult, the longest I've been is shoulder length (this is what I am now).

As a child, bottom-of-neck length. I don't know why - mum took care of our hair as best she could. We (my sister and I) always wanted long hair and used to ask why our hair wasn't as long as my cousins/ aunties. Mum just said "we didn't seem to have that 'growing type' of hair" and we accepted that... :ohwell:

When I showed her my hair last week, mum beamed and said it looked lovely :yep: (I caught her staring with admiration a couple of times as we watched the telly together). :yep:

I wished we'd have known then what I've learned here on this forum - I've still tons to learn :bookworm:
 
the longest my hair has reach as an adult is Mid-Back and that was a whole lotta hair to care for:lol:

i cut last year and just want Arm Pit Length. (Unstretch)

I voted SL. I never straightened my hair to confirm, but I grew it out for two years and believe my hair was full SL.

When it was that length I didn't take care of it and had mad splits and breakage as a result. Also, I wasn't interested at all in growing my hair out or retaining length. I was simply too lazy to go across town to my barber or find a new barber closer to me to cut it off. I was actually upset about how much hair I had to deal with on a daily basis and wanted my buzz cut back.
 
currently @ APL and on the grow.

ETA: My hair has been a tad bit longer than this in my youth so Im not jumping for joy yet

Just shoulder length, Actually that's the longest it's been in my whole life.
I've just finished a transition so by the end of the year my hair should be the longest it's been ever in life. I don't think I'll get to apl but I should be pretty darn close :-)
 
My current length, MBL with some hairs reaching WL. This is the longest my hair has been as an adult. Working my way to full waist and hopefully HL one day.

MBL unstretched????:spinning::spinning::spinning::spinning:

Profile picture is the longest hair has been, between WL and HL. Have since cut 6-8 inches while transitioning. Right now stretched I'm BSB from APLish at the beginnig of the year.

Your hair was LOVELY! :congrats: on being fully natural now!

I think my hair has touched tailbone for a while, but never any further than that...I'm working to get back there now!

:thud: :thud: :thud: :notworthy: :notworthy:
 
My hair was past MBL in 08 before my stylist chopped it for no reason :( Then I grew it out and cut it again Dec 09.

Hopefully I'll be there again by the end of the year. Im BSLish
 
This is the longest it has been since I was an adult..my hair is around BSB ..it may even be BSL but if it is is barely scraping...
 
What's the longest that your hair has ever been as an adult (let's say adult is 18 and older)? It was natural APL in 2009 before I cut it into a mohawk

Nope. I BC'd and now I'm at 3" I think.

I thought my hair was terminally at SL...but I now know that's not true...What about you? Nope. My grandmother has always had APL and beyond and my mom has let her hair grow to BSL a few times, so I've seen long hair in my family and I know my hair can be long
 
Full WL last year, it's more U shaped now w/the sides somewhere in between mbl and waist and the middle at waist.
 
My current length is a lil below APL stretched, but 2 yrs ago it was a healthy full APL relaxed. This is the longest my hair has been as an adult.
