My goal length is waist. I will kindly accept any lengths longer than waist too. :) Waist length is just different and unique. My hair has never been that length before and I think I look better with longer hair.
 
My goal is hip length. with thickness
i've had waist length up until I was 17, and i'm trying to regain that length and more.

currently at MBL, might be a year or so until i get there...
 
I choose BSL. I'm 5'3 and to me, this would finally give me "long" hair. I want to see if I can actually get there. At first, my goal was APL, but I really wanted to challenge myself and switched my goal to BSL. Waist length is simply too long for my lazy arse to handle.
 
I'm sure I've posted in this thread before, and I am still aiming for my ultimate goal of full HBL in 2010.

I see so many jacked-up heads IRL, it's saddening.:nono: I really want to grow to an unusually healthy, long length to encourage other Black women that they (especially the type 4b's) can do it too--even if they weren't born with "good hair." :rolleyes:

Either MBL or WL with layers. As long as I have face framing layers I will be good. A straight blunt cut will be too much for me, plus I already have layers and don't think I will want to cut off all of my progress just to get rid of them.
 
I just think I would look cute with BSL hair, plus like many others have stated...it would be a personal challenge since my hair has never been that long. I am barely grazing APL at the moment but it is not a full, thick APL so maybe once I reach the full blown APL I will be satisfied. Who knows.:ohwell:
 
My ultimate goal is ideally Midback, because i am 5'9! I also had longer hair when i was younger, so i just KNOW i can make it back to that point one day! I have to post new pics soon, but i don't know...it feels like my hair is stalling!:wallbash:
 
At first I was set on BSL but now I'm aiming for MBL. I grew up wanting my mom's hair length and thought because I had my dad's hair type that I'd never be able to achieve that. Now that I've gained a wealth of knowlege I know that's it's possible. I don't think I can deal with anything longer than MBL.
 
I want natural waistlength stretched hair.:grin: I don't care how much shrinkage I get, I just want it to be long when I flat iron it.:grin:
 
I chose Classic because I have been tailbone length before (major set back was the relaxer)and I wanted to see if I can grow my hair to Classic Length. To me that goal is reachable. Now that I've stop perming my hair I think I will be able to reach it.

I pick bsl because my hair was that length when I was a little girl and I want to prove to myself that I can actually take care of my hair and get to that length instead of forever staying at shoulder length.
 
My ultimate goal would be BSL. Considering my height (5'4) and my face shape I think that length would be most flattering. Plus it seems long enough to enjoy the styles I like while still being manageable.
 
I chose BSL because i've had APL hair before I cut it to right below my chin. Since I've cut it I had some major set backs (thinning, bald patches, split ends you name it)...but I'm seeing some improvement thanks to LHCF.
 
Natural BSL strecthed would make me happy....even mid back..I was almost there relaxed before I got sissor happy, So of course I'm ready to get there naturally..
 
At this moment I just want to see how long my hair can get. I want to see how long healthy nappilicious hair looks on me! I plan to loc if it ever becomes unmanageable.

I'm enjoying my journey :)
 
I just want something I never had before. I never had waist length hair, and since I'm so short and my tailbone and waist are near each other, i wouldn't mind having tail bone, I'm growing to see if I can handle the length. If I can't, then I will cut it to mbl or close to waist. It's a personal choice, ever since I got out of the military, I always wanted longer hair.....I love long hair of all textures and I would like long hair on me.
 
I'm not really interested in super long hair so APL would be great. Right now I'm SL so I'm hoping (fingers crossed) to meet my goal by Dec '08. Healthy, APL is all I want.
 
I am going to say longer than classic only because I wonder how long I can grow my hair. I do not want to put a limit on length. At whatever length my hair stops is where it stops. If my hair only grows to APL, then APL it will stay. If it grows to floor length, there it will stay. If I never get past the length I have now, I will just learn to love my hair as is.
 
This has to be the best thread on this forum. I've posted twice with initial goal mbl, then waist when that was within easy reach. But now my goals are classic. I want to not only look traditional, I want to live that lifestyle and wear my hair as my prayer. I just don't know whether to cut it even on the bottom or allow the tendrils to form peaks until that length. Whichever length, reach high and low. It can only get better.

Even though it wasn't part of the Poll:

Right now I'd just be "content" with Full Collarbone Length. I don't think I'm asking for much. Just a very serious Collarbone Length Bob. That's nice, sleek, full, even, shiny, blingin' swangin' and totally healthy.:giggle:
 
I am going to go with MBL. I don't actually want it that long. I really only want it a little past BSL. I am 5'10" with a long torso so I have a few hurdles to overcome. I think I would ridiculous with WL hair at my height. And it would probably require more attention than I care to give it. If I only have BSL length hair, than I would be satisfied. Not happy, but satisfied. The longest it has ever been is APL. Generally around that length I get scissor happy. Not this time!!!
 
My hair is currently neck/touching shoulder length. My ultimate goal is BSL. The longest length I have achieved is APL, but it wasn't healthy and began to break. I've always wanted long hair because it seems so classically beautiful. If I can achieve BSL that will be PLENTY long enough for me.

OT - I absolutely love this website. I found it a couple of weeks ago and have already started taking notes for a regimen.
