I've been MBL as a child (natural and relaxed) and as an adult (relaxed).

My current length is BSL (I bc'd a little over 2 years ago).
 
Longest as an adult-Grazing sl. I am finally back to that length after being stuck at nl for ages.

Hoping to make apl end of this yr which will be longest ever. I still can't imagine having that much hair. It will be surreal.

Apparently SL. My hair is actually in between SL and APL, but I always measure it by the shortest hair.

My mother says that my hair was never this long as a child. I'm hoping to make full APL by the end of the year.
 
My hair has never been longer than shoulder length because I cut it every time so that it can "thicken up" the ends. Now I realise that I was probably sabotaging myself since if I had left it to grow out it would probably have gotten thicker as it grew - lead hairs theory. So now I've decided to grow it to armpit length so that I can test this new theory of mine.
 
As an adult, the longest my hair has been was between APL and BSB. That was for a brief period in college. My hair is nowhere near that length now. I wasn't allowed to cut my hair when I was living at home so as soon as I went to school I started chopping away. Coupled with the fact that I had no idea how to care for my own hair (and didn't have the desire to know), I would always cut my hair once it got back to a little past shoulder length, because the ends would look ratty.

I never thought I had a terminal length because my hair was extremely long as a child. I don't even want my hair as long as it was when I was living at home and my mom was taking care of it. I can't imagine giving up my entire Sunday like my mom and I used to do. Right now I'm shooting for MBL stretched, but I might be happy with BSB.
 
APL. I have been scissor happy most of my adult life. I think since my bc this has been the longest I have kept scissors from my head since I was 18. Cut free for 8 months. Yup definitely a record.
 
The length I am today! :)

I chose APL in the poll, but I am juuuuuust about an inch away from BSL right now.

MBL, 15 years ago while pregneant and after, then I cut it to APL
Is your hair currently that long or did you cut it, not take care of it, etc...
No, currently BSL and I am in transition...7 months post :grin:

I thought my hair was terminally at SL...but I now know that's not true...What about you?
Honestly, I had never heard of "terminal lenght" till I joined the forum back in 2009. As a teen I liked the short styles. When my hair grew long, I always thought it could grow longer... I just cut it becuase I wanted it styled a certain way.

I bc'd last May and bleached it white (was oh so fun). I am making the come-back. Currently I am about 8" in length.

What about you?

Hi Ladies,



So, here's the poll:

What's the longest that your hair has ever been as an adult (let's say adult is 18 and older)?
at least wl stretched, it was cut to full mbl when I relaxed it
I have been religiously taking care of my hair since twa-ish

 Is your hair currently that long or did you cut it, not take care of it, etc...
My hair is currently long layered mbl-

When I relaxed I had to re-learn relaxed hair as I was natural for 9 years. I started out trying to use the same products I used when natural-fail. I am sure I had some breakage here and there.& stylists giving blunting trims. I was not hair/length obsessed, but one day I realized my hair was getting shorter and the exclusive keracare regimen wasn't cutting it.

I did some research tweaked my regimen, and grew back to mbl but layered. I have retained more length while transitioning, but I have been trimming to mbl for the past 2+ years for my sanity. My ng is currently a little past apl stretched in the back but my hair grows in layers.

APL (when relaxed), I always got the itch to cut around then. What can I say, I loved a good bob cut. Still do.

My hair is currently hovering around APL (can't seem to get passed it), but in its natural state it's NL. I love shrinkage.

About 2-3 inches past mid-back. I think I was grazing WL at one point. I want to be solid blunt waist.

The longest my hair has been as a adult is grazing APL but lets not be generous it was just several inches past SL/CBL but it was also ridic Oprah thick. I wore it loose for four months in college during a harsh dry winter ironing it daily with a small tooth hot comb, no moisture, washing it like once every two months, DC what the heck was that? and that was end of that. I had to BC my natural due to damage twice in the last 5 yrs. :sigh: when will i ever get it. The longest part of hair is almost that length now but it doesn't count because some patches of my hair are BC length due severe HIH syndrome. :sad:

APL. I experiment too much so I was always cutting a bob, a pixie another bob. Then braids then a bc now I am almost apl again shoul be there by the summer.
 
As a child an as an adult (prior to my HHJ) my hair was SL. Never any longer, not really any shorter...

Currently, I am full APL, actually just beyond but I am not claiming BSB until I take my sew-in out. And this feels so good to realize I CAN achieve great lengths!
 
APL is where I am at now and this is the longest my hair has ever been. I'm still growing. Hopefully I can return to this thread and post MBL. Subbing!!
 
MBL is the longest. Currently at MBL (just a bit past it) and I'm aiming for Tailbone length....
Before that it was SL relaxed for years and years. Then I started learning to care for it and it shot to APL and BSL (texlaxed). Transitioning currently and trying to learn heat-free ways to stretch my hair. Or low-heat like rollersetting and saran wrapping.
