How are you all measuring tho? From hairline to waist? For me like that it's 27 inches and I'm 5'8.
ETA: I'm gonna guess Im about 16-18 inches from nape to waist.

5'9.5" 24 inches would be waist length on me I guess. My hair has been stuck at a steady 7-9 inches for the past two years that's collar bone length on me.
I got a long way to go I may never ever reach waist length

Whoahoho, don't say that! Or well, you can say whatever you want, but let's try to stay positive! My hair has been stuck at 8-11 inches for over a year. It dawned on me earlier in the week, that I should be closing in on BSL and not APL. I figured out that I probably need to add more protein and that I probably get mid-shafts splits. Took me long enough to think of that! I thought I'd been doing a stellar job, but I was only looking for split ends. I cut protein out completely as a natural and for my fine, cottony strands it was a mistake. So, now I'll be adding in more protein and hennaing my hair.
I saw one post earlier that said something like, 90% of us have been there (with damaged strands) and the other 10% of us don't know.
As a fellow 5'9.5" incher who has been stuck at the same length for a while, I feel the need to keep hope alive!
I'm burning a torch for you!
.. welp with hair currently measuring at 10in guess im half way there

We're measuring from the nape or the back of your hairline at your neck not the front of the hairline.

I'm 5'8.5" (I sometimes like to claim 5'9" depending on my mood 
) and I measured 2 inches from the bottom of my nape yesterday to double check my previous measurements...it was 18.5" to WL. I have a long torso but my natural waist is normal considering my torso length, if that makes any sense :scratchch HL is relatively far from WL for me, so that is when I will know I am really doing something

I am 5'9" and if I remember correctly, WL is 19" from my nape.

Thanks HauteHippe! I have realized a while ago that I have countless mid strand splits. I admit I haven't done more than three heavy protein treatments the past two years and only one henna. I will need to step my game up also if I'll ever going to past this blockage. I was thinking it is more something missing internally. Thanks for the encouragement though.
