No 'swang' below my waistline, or then again maybe on tailbone would feel like a cool breeze? Hmm, (waistlength or shorter more manageable and flattering on me).

Here's Crystal Gayle. I can honestly say that this is too long for me, but WOW, it looks great on her!

Too long for me personally would be anything past bra strap length.

That length does look great on Crystal Gayle. I saw a woman in person with hair just 3-4 inches shorter than the Crystal Gayle photo. She kept her head cocked to one side as if the weight of the hair was too much for her or she was trying to keep it hanging freely. The way that she held herself wasn't flattering. Looked like there was a painful crick in her neck. I think it would have been flattering if she held her head high like Crystal Gayle but it was not flattering in the way she carried herself. After seeing her, I've always thought that the length which is no longer flattering is knee/calf length but IDK now that I've seen this Crystal Gayle photo.

I think long hair is the height of feminine beauty... I love to see women with super long hair. I've seen lots of Indian women with a thick black braid hanging to mid-thigh, and I just want to caress it...

I voted that ankle length is too long, just because you'd trip constantly.

I've seen photos of a black German lady named Sylvia Ziegler with calf-length natural hair, and it's gorgeous! I could definately see myself with hair that length. I don't generally wear my hair down anyway, so needing to wear it tied up all the time wouldnt' be so bad to me.

Not to start a race battle, but I don't think she's black/would have considered herself black - this page says she's german & Mexican (also has a different pic).....all the same, it's some gorgeous, long, textured hair.....

Waist length stretched is my limit. I personally would not want anything that is longer than that.

Re: At what Length is hair no longer flattering??? (Warning this may be controversial

I voted WL. A couple inches above WL will be great for me. My waist is my best physical feature and my butt/hips are my worst (huge...lol). Don't need any more attention in that area, trust me.

It's too long for me when I have to sacrifice thickness for length. I want my hair as long as it will grow as thick as it is. At the point that it begins to thin out on the ends I will snip snip.

Longer than mid back is probably too much for me. Maybe BSL.

Re: At what Length is hair no longer flattering??? (Warning this may be controversial

It depends on the height of a person, whether they have a long torso vs short torso, small face vs big face etc.. for me.

I feel long, long hair looks best on taller, slim flat/small chested ladies. Short & fat, small & very busty women, women with short neck/no neck dont look as good for some reason in my eyes it doesn't go as well although it can be done successfully very occasionally.
Hiplength+ on anyone is usually unflattering imo.

But I still wouldnt hate, even if the hair is unflattering I would still appreciate seeing it.

Re: At what Length is hair no longer flattering??? (Warning this may be controversial

Well, I don't know if there is a length I'd claim to be unflattering. I think older women are more attractive with fuller flowy styles if they choose to keep their hair long (but I am partial to that look anyway). But I enjoy varied lengths as long as it's healthy and NOT scraggly.

Re: At what Length is hair no longer flattering??? (Warning this may be controversial

I think it depends on the individual. For example, if you're short, really really long hair just looks weird; it visually shortens the body even more. If you're tall, you can probably get away with wearing it a bit longer.
For me personally...as soon as it starts getting in the way, I'm assuming mid-back, then that's my limit.

Re: At what Length is hair no longer flattering??? (Warning this may be controversial

I was going to say waist length but then I thought of some waist length people who it did look good on. But I would say most people can't carry waist length hair in a flattering manner. I ultimately chose tail bone length because that is the limit when it starts looking bad on most people.

Re: At what Length is hair no longer flattering??? (Warning this may be controversial

I'd just love to be able to get there and see it for myself. However, as mentioned earlier, it depends on the hair. Bone straight tailbone just looks dull to me, I think it requires alot of curls and/or volume for anything longer than waist to look cute, IN MY PERSONAL OPINION.

I desperately want tailbone but i'm 6'1" and it might never happen...

Beyond waist nearing butt. At that point IMO it starts looking a little to earth mother goddess meets Woodstock 2008ish.

I think waist length is the max. At that point it can still be (depending on the person's features, style, etc.) youthful and sexy, it it has shine and body.

My personal max is mid back to slightly past.

I 2nd this!!!! WAIST LENGTH is just right. Especially if it's layered.

Re: At what Length is hair no longer flattering??? (Warning this may be controversial

I voted anything past tailbone, but the truth is that on other people, I think extreme length hair is gorgeous On a personal note, it is starting to take way too long for me to dry my hair. I am not to crazy about staying under my Pibbs for 90 minutes, especially in this dang heat! So, waistlength is probably going to be my happy place (once I'm full WL) but strictly for practicality purposes.....

Re: At what Length is hair no longer flattering??? (Warning this may be controversial

ot but you know what the funny part is i always wanted and still want waistlength hair but i m puzzled why all the weaves are ever had and the expensive hair i bought why do i always buy 18inches and it s past midback but i always end up chopping it back to bsl that s so weird. i just noticed that any weave that i bought be it straight or curly i hated it at 18inches but felt most comfortable around 14inches but the best even at 12 that s what used to fit me nice.

lol i m still grow to waistlength cause that s my dream length i never had it and feel like the other lengths are so feasible but just want to see if i like it but cant do anything more than waist. i know midback is ideal but as long as it does not cover my butt it s all good. hair can cover my breast (sexxxuuu!!!!) not my butt (not so sexy u need to see my junk! grrr)
