Who doesn't want hair longer than bra strap length?

[lollyoo]

For me it depends whether I am relaxed or natural at my goal length.

With my 70% shrinkage - I will like waistlength stretched probably shoulder unstretched - natural hair

If relaxed however BSL- MBL will be my goal, I am only 5ft 2in so BSL and MBL are only 2 inches apart I think.

At first I thought I wanted MBL hair but since making the decision to transition to texlaxed hair this month, I feel like BSL is the longest I can truly deal with. Besides, this decision has set me back in my length goals because I have to do some major trimming until my texlaxed hair reaches BSL. I am excited about the change in plans of my hair goals.

ME! I do not want hair longer then Bra-Strap, I will probably trim often, so it won't exceed that legnth, In My personal opinion, It sorta gets a little boring, not much You can do for style, once its that long.
Its very pretty on others,
and maybe I will in the future!but for now just BS.

I totally agree. I don't hair longer than BSL. Even when I get my weaves and leave it at BSL I end up trimming it and putting it in layers after a couple of days because I get bored.

If I'm at BSL in the back, APL at the shortest layers. I think I would curl up in a ball and cry my eyes out if my hair didn't get longer than this. My goal is classic length.

I think I have a touch of hair anorexia, bc I feel like my hair is just so short. I want it to grow already!

I feel the exact same way. I am BSL in the back and just past APL on the sides and front and my hair feels so short. I think it's because our goals are so high or should I say long that we won't be satisfied until we actually surpass our goal.

For some reason I thought if my hair reached BSL my head would at least feel like I had more hair on it. Will this obssession ever end?

I don't think I'd care for hair that long, I think it would limit styling options for me personally PLUS......a couple of threads from here someone said they spent 10-12 hours on their hair a week... I still can't get over that.

I think that's why we are blessed with shrinkage! Doesn't feel like I am working with much at all. If I had it permanently straightened I might get a little overwelmed. If I can keep from dilly dallying during my deep conditioning, I would spend considerably less time on my hair. It doesn't feel like much work at all. I'm guessing it would be the same when I reach my hair goal. With shrinkage I may be full BSL/MBL.

 

[CurlyMoo]

I'm kinda torn I guess. My ultimate goal is BSL but now that I'm into this hair growing game I'd have to say my final stop in my journey would be MBL....no longer than that. I think my hair would be too much to maintain.

Ok now, in 2 years I will look at your siggy and find you with hip length hair.

When I joined, my only goal was full SL! I guess I've gotten greedy because I want WL, now. I think I was inspired the most by Traycee.

-Waist Length in 2011!

Congratulation, you grow gir!

I think as we embark on this haircare journey we see the ladies here reach their goals and longer; we realize that we can do it too. I think many Black women even some on this hairboard just don't think they can grow hair to very long lengths (waist length and beyond). I say go for it or at least see how far you can go without serious hardship to your budget and sanity.

LOL just the thought of me growing hip length hair would be awesome! Who knows how it will look in two years! It's great just thinking about it!

I'm thinking about trying on a classic length wig to see how I would look in it. I hope I like what I see.

 

[Luxurious12]

Completely agree. My ultimate goal is bra strap length too.

this is a good point - because if I were natural, I would go for the waist length probably, but as a relaxed wearer, my hair is soo fine, I don't even think I can get past bra strap. bra strap is a good look and goal for me.

Well my ultimate goal is BSL stretched. Im transitioning and I just cut half of my hair off a few months ago so Im NL at the moment. I think I will be satisfied with BSL.
