Waistlength has always been my goal, so I think I will keep my hair at that length. I think if my hair got any longer than that it would bug me, I don't think the front of my hair will ever grow to waistlength though.

In the long run, I'd be happy with solid BSL length hair when when stretched, maybe a little below that. Long enough for shoulder length natural hair. I think that would be an optimum length for my height.

I think BSL is my ultimately desired length. I would love the versatility of having this length. I want to wear cute ponytails with spirals, and updo's and mainly wear my hair out with the ends caruso'd or braidouts. I think this length is long but it isn't so hard to maintain. If my hair were longer...i feel i would have to pay toooo much attention to keeping my hair healthy, which would take the focus off of me just having fun and enjoying my hairstyles...

for now, shoulder length because my hair has never been that long since the day I was born

ultimately as long as it wants to grow, but i would like waistlength because i think long hair is beautiful and I have a big head and face and I need to hide this massive dome

I picked BSL because I think I would be satisfy with that length. I think my hair would look too thin longer. Once I reach BSL. My total focus will shift to getting my hair thicker, even if that means triming a couple of times a year.

I chose midback because of my height and proportions. I think at 5' 2" I would be overpowered by waistlength hair. But I am also short-waisted, so bra-strap length is too short and only an two inches or so shorter than midback would be on me.

My goal is mid-back. I've always wanted long hair, and I think mid-back is the perfect length for me. :)

Mid-back because I think It is very long and sexy but not too much (waist)...but who knows if I ever make it there I may change my mind! I just want a thick long mane of hair flowing down my back but not soooo much that it is consuming me :lol:

I think I originally wanted looong hair, which I'd consider midback and longer, but I've recently thought about it and bsl would suit me just fine...with layers...looove my layers. I'm in the bsl by december 2006 challenge, but haven't taken it seriously and i've been trimming with each touch up, every 12 weeks so i doubt that i'll retain enough length to reach that goal by year end, but i'll probably come close...unless i decide to cut it
(not trim)...again.

Healthy good looking hair, with body and movement is more important to me than length, as long as I have that I'm happy.
 
I chose mid back.........at less than chin length,i feel like a dummie for putting that,i chose it because long hair is sexy,my hair has been long but never that long and because it is a challenge and very versatile

My goals(realistic or not?)
for the end of 06-mid neck length
for the end of 07-3 inches past my shoulders
for the end of 08-bra strap length
for the end of 09-Ultimate goal of mid back

My first goal was brastrap length and I already reached that goal. Now my next goal is waist length. I have always loved long hair. I want to see how long my hair will grow after I reach my second goal. I plan on growing it as long as I can.

Hey maybe to my knees even:lol:

I'm picked BSL...though I would be very happy with full APL hair. I would love to make it to BSL. I want BSL length hair because I think I would look so exotic with this much hair. I would like the variety of styles I would be able to wear. When you have long hair...even when you have a "bad hair day" your hair still looks good because it's long and healthy. I also want BSL length hair to prove to other ladies that their hair CAN grow long if they take care of it and stop following damaging practices.

I can't wait!

you know its weird. First I wanted Shoulder now I am just satisfied if my hair stays healthy. I guess I am taking it one day at a time.

My goal length is armpit length. Most of the styles I want to do are for that length. Although I never had apl before, I know it won't be too much for me to manage.

I chose tailbone length but I am looking at something two (2) inches above my tailbone. I would like my hair to hang past the waist band of my pants. Also, I'd like to have thick, even hair at that length. I've got quite a ways to go. :)

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.

I seem to be doing that too, I keep pushing the goal longer and longer must be hair anorexia, but I'm still trying to get to where you are lengthwise. :wave:

I chose TLBN too, even though I have yet to reach WSL. I'm liking the look from pics I've seen on other ladies of HPBN between WSL and TLBN, it's seems like a sexy length like mermaid length, but I'm just going to go for it and aim for TLBN just to see if I can. I want my straightened hair to touch the top of my low rider jeans. :grin:
After WSL goal acheived I just need 2" for HPBN, then if I want TLBN is 2" from HPBN that's not far @ all....

I would love tail bone length hair but I can die a happy woman with bra strap length hair. I am just starting my journey I am at the bottom of the neck just grazing the top of my shoulder...shooting for shoulder length by the end of the year and APL by middle or end of next year.

My goal is past waist length because my fine, bouncy hair seems to really like weight and behaves and looks much better the longer it grows. Besides trims and save for some unfortunate event, I plan to never CUT my hair again.

I also think I look prettier with long hair.

Full tailbone length is my ultimate goal. I think some of my longest "tails" may be there now but I want all of my hair the same length.

I would like bra stap lenght natural hair plaited without added hair.because i 've never since natural 4b hair long with out a relaxer.I'd like to prove that 4b hair does grow long without a relaxer or locks.
 
I would love to be at BSL becuase I think that it would look nice on me and that it would still be easy to manage. Who knows? When I finally reach it, I just may want to keep on going (I know that I will). I never thought that I would have hair the length that it is now, so BSL will be an extra special treat!

I voted BSL because my hair always been APL, and never went past that. I just cut off 2-3 inches Sunday, so now it's SBL:ohwell: . Eventually I want to be midback, so when that happens, I'll keep there. Anything else probably wouldn't look right:lol:
