Well I started out wanting bSL hair but as my hair gets longer and THICKER I changed my goal to APL. My hair has been shoulder length for all of my adult life so I'm excited about seeing myself with APL hair and I know I will be completely satisfied. I hope to maintain it in between APL and BSL.
 
I changed my goal to mid back from bsl. After lurking on another board where some members have 4 and 5 ft of hair:eek: I decided to let it grow until it didn't want to grow no more:grin: I'm eager to see if I can meet the challenge and I think women of color look stunning with long hair - and men of all races think we loolk good with long hair too:lachen:
 
Prior to LHCF, my hair has never been longer than brushing my shoulders. At the end of my transition, I could stretch some areas of my hair to armpit length. I think I would be perfectly happy if my natural hair gets back to armpit stretched, but I chose bra strap as my ultimate goal.
 
BSL/mid back because of the beauty of it. I would like it to be one length, so I am going after these layers.
 
More than likely, I'll grow my hair beyond classic length. I

long hair and have grown up having, and being around, it.
 
My ultimate goal is midback, past BSL w/LONG layers. I wouldn't consider my hair long until it was around BSL anyway. I want my hair to be this length because I fantasize about the long, single braids and ponytails I could have, proving others wrong about black hair, but most importantly it would make me happy to attain this length. I wish I could break it down more, but I can't. I want to be able to maintain whatever length I get, so If my hair become too much, I'll know I've reached my limit.
 
I want thick, mid waist (though bra strap is good also), just because I love the idea of being able to do multiple hairstyles, and yet, still be able to put it into beautiful buns with pretty accessories. I had it almost that length, but developed a weak spot and had to cut it :( I wouldn't want it any longer, though, because that would be too much for me.
 
Mid back lenght because I think it will look good on me and to prove that black woman can grow hair long. My hair is now a little past armpit length (although in need of a trim badly) and this is the longest my hair has ever been. And, I want my hair to fill up.
 
I wanted to vote but didn't... My goal is to get to my EARLOBE! Healthy, earlobe-length hair! Are there any other TWA or In-the-Meantime ladies aiming for a similar length?
 
My goal is bra strap length or midback because it has never been that long. The longest my hair has been was to my collar bone and I got it to that length by wearing crotchet braids...couple years ago..
 
Classic lenght just because I can, that should shut poeple up about black people not being able to grow hair past their shoulders!!!:lol:
 
I voted midback altho I'd be happy with BSL.....I haven't had that length since I was 5 or 6 years old....I can't wait for it to be that length again as an adult. :p
 
I voted Mid Back, cuz I want like one inch past BS.. that way I can get some slight layers I just think they're sexy....
 
my goal is classic or as long as my hair will grow. i wanna see how long my hair gets before it becomes a hassle to style every day.
 
my goal this year is MidBack, then eventually Waistlength. longer would make me look digusting.

i need about 2 more inches for midback.
 
My goal is midback stretched (past brastrap but before my waist). I have a lot of layers, earned during my transition. As long as the longest layers don't look to thin, I'll be happy.
 
I forgot 2 say..

even tho i said past waistlengh would look disgusting on me..when ireach my goals i dont think their long. like i used to think armpit was long, when i got there it didn't seem long at all. then i thought brastrap was loooooooong, now i'm there..its aight but it aint that long anymore lol! so when i get to waistlength i might have hair anorexia again!
 
To me hair isn't long unless it's BSL or longer. Most of my life my hair has been between APL and BSL so I'm aiming for longer than my norm.
 
Bra strap/mid back (about 18 inches), because im so short, lol i shall be pushing for waist legnth (21 inches).. why just because i can, im natural 4a/b and to see the look on "nignorant" peoples faces will be priceless, plus i love big natural hair, especially when its braided, or straightened once in a while, and it gives that *wow* effect because its a shock to see how long it is!!.. lol does anyone understand me?
 
I chose waist for now. My hair shrinks to about half its length when I wear it natural. So I figure if it's waist length it'll hang about bra strap when curly with some sort of styling product. We'll see soon... ;)
 
I voted for BSL. I have ALWAYS had short hair when I was growing up. I always envied girls in school who had shoulder-length hair or longer. My mom would press my hair, but it never seemed like it grew all that much. I also had lot of breakage on the sides and back and would get teased about it. It wasn't until my teen years (a/k/a jheri years) that my hair really started to grow. I did a big cut and switched to relaxers in my late teens/early 20s, learned how to care for relaxed hair, got reg. touch ups, that I started gaining length again. My hair is shoulder-length now, which I am very happy with, some family members are really surprised at how my hair looks now vs. childhood years. I am just curious to see if it will get to BSL--if I keep up my hair regimen.

My all time goal is WSL. But if my hair keeps growing after that I won't stop it. The only reason I am hesitant that I will stay at WSL because the longer my hair gets the thinner it gets. I can really see my hair being long and thin which I don't want.

But I am gonna let it grow as long as it wants without cutting it (if it doesn't look all scraggly).

Why? Because in this case the floor is the limit :lol: and I think WSL hair is soooo sexy!

Well said MM and I concur 100%!!!! :)
 
I would like Midback to WL hair because one ive never hair that long and I just believe somewhere between these two lengths would look best on me...
 
I say mid-back because that is the length I think would look best on me.
Don't mind the fact that I'm in the waist-length challenge- I don't care if it doesn't get there but I do want it past bra-strap or bra-strap all one length.
 
My goal used to be waist length, but now that I'm here...:look:
I changed it to tailbone. I'm pretty sure that if I make it there, I'll change it to Classic. LOL
And that's the way it goes.
