There are a lot of older posts on this subject, however most are from over 10 years ago, would love to have an updated discussion thread. Also, I found that a lot of people were measuring from the front or crown, and I would much prefer to know the numbers from the nape.

To those of you who are BSL and beyond, measuring from the nape, how many inches is your hair? Even if you’re not at these lengths, how many inches will it take you to get there?

Obviously it will take longer for some of us to get to certain lengths, based on the length of our torso. However, it would be great to get an average number.

4 inches from Nape to SL
3 inches from SL to APL, -- This could be 4 but it is hard to measure.

I’m 5 feet almost exactly.

Really short torso. From the top of my hips, to just under my breasts, or the bottom of my diaphragm, is legit only 9 inches. Didn’t take me long to get from MBL to Hip.

HOWEVER.

I have a large backside, with big legs, wide hips, and from hip length to Classic it’s almost a full foot worth of body to grow past.

Fully stretched out I’m a tiny bit passed TBL. From what I’ve measured I have maybe 3-4 inches until I get to Classic. But it feels like I’ve been stuck at 3-4 for a while now. But I realize my hair falls differently from day to day, and even shrinks more or sometimes less as I accumulate new growth throughout the months. So I’ll probably just give measuring and picture taking a break until like my birthday or something in May of next year. Just to stop myself from thinking about it so much.

5'4 with a short torso and long legs/arms.
2 inches to BSL so hopefully I'll be back at it by next summer, then I can finally focus on WSL because for me MBL and BSL are the same thing.

From nape to waist is 18 inches. I am 5'6 with literally no torso, but my linebacker shoulders even it out. From BSL to HL is 6 inches, for example, though from nape to APL is close to 10 inches.

I'm 5'3" and WL is 15-16 in from my nape. I have no waist, but I have a very broad chest :look:. So the back of my hair will look long, and the front looks like nothing's happening because there's so much distance to travel LOL

I’m back and I finally measured lol
It’s exactly 20 inches from my nape to where I want my hair to fall. I can’t tell where my actual waist is because I have a lot of stomach :lachen:

However, I measured from my nape to that little dip in the back.
