Is WSL the new standard on the board?

[laurend]

When I became a member in late 2006, it seems like everyone was trying for bra strap length. Now it seems forget BSL, you ain't long until you are waist length. It might be that we are the pioneers in growing long hair and waist length is possible for most women of color. As stated in the thread about 4b hair, even 4b is possible if you do a lot of protective hair styling. Does anyone else feel this way? Is WSL where most of us are trying to get to?

Its the new standard for me.

When I originally started my hair journey, I wanted MBL hair. But, now that my hair is APL (stretched) my shrinkage has me at NL. I figure, if I go WL, then my shrinkage should hit APL. I'll be happy!

LOL I think hair-anorexia is contagious.
I think WL is one of my goals along with APL, BSL, HL, Classic length etc. I am trying not to stress so my one true goal is to never cut again, I can search and destroy, trim or shape but I made a promise to myself to just never cut it again. Whatever will be will be.

i joined the BC to WL challenge, but even if my hair stops at APL or BSL i'll be fine...some people just wanna challenge themselves to grow even longer so when they reach one milestone they have confidence that they can make it to the next

 

[*CherryPie*]

WL-Ville is where I want to be!

When I reach it, i'm going to stay there. I'll keep cutting my hair to that length. That way, i'll keep great ends!

 

[LaFemmeNaturelle]

HL is my standard but I do feel like alot of women want to grow to WL.

Funny you mention this. I thought about this recently. I remember when it use to be all about BSL. Now the holy grail is WL.

 

[SND411]

I guess people have seen that the possibilities are endless!

 

[lea86111]

i want WL but i kinda want TBL...a girl can dream, right?

 

[bride91501]

My goal was MBL when I first started my LHHJ, but now that I actually "know" my hair and its characteristics, I now know that my hair will shrink up to my ears even at MBL (yes I have that much shrinkage lol).

I need WL hair to hopefully get it to hang around my shoulders unstretched. Happy growing everybody!

 

[locabouthair]

WL isnt my hair goal but I do think it has become the new standard on the board.

 

[LushLox]

Personally, I'll be happy with MBL, that's more than enough hair for me.

 

[davisbr88]

I want MBL but I'm going for whatever it takes to have my hair be at least SL when shrunken, so if that's WL, so be it. I will say that although I haven't been a member all that long, it does seem like a lot of ladies are going for WL or HL. So I guess in another 7 years, everyone will be going for HL and TBL. Lol.

 

[D.Lisha]

I SAY I want waistlength....but I think MBL will do just fine

 

[authormom]

I was just wondering this. LOL! My ultimate goal is MBL but layered. I don't like all my hair one length.

I completely agree!!! This is my goal also!

 

[starfish79]

I'm currently BSL stretched, but I'm looking for at least WL so that my hair will be between APL and BSL unstretched.

 

[loveisnthehouse]

I did a poll not long ago about perfect hair length and texture.. Let me find it..

Perfect texture and length

 

[Yoshi3329]

If I hit WL, that will be great! But if I hit MBL, that'll be great too! I just want to be longer than BSL

 

[LovingLady]

As of right now I am aiming for hip length but at the same time it really depends on where my hair falls when I am wearing a twist out. My goal is to have my twist outs to be between shoulder and armpit length, once I obtain that I am just going to maintain it at that length.

 

[chickle]

When I first joined I was a relaxed sL/ApL trying to reach mbL

Now I am a natural apL trying to reach mbL

Mid back length has always been the desired length for me, and other peoples progression to wsl has never seemed to change my desire to be wsL

but who knows what I will be thinking once I reach mbL (hopefully by this time next year), lol

 

[Junebug D]

It does seem to be the board standard and that's where I want to go. Who knows if I'll make it though...

 

[LovinLocks]

i joined the BC to WL challenge, but even if my hair stops at APL or BSL i'll be fine...some people just wanna challenge themselves to grow even longer so when they reach one milestone they have confidence that they can make it to the next

Bravo! Now there you have it . . . my sentiments EXACTLY!

girl you took the words right outta my mouth!

 

[Janet']

HL is my standard...but I know that WL is lots and lots of hair.

 

[Loves Harmony]

I will be happy with apl hair then i will maintain that length.

 

[PistolWhip]

When I first joined WL was my ultimate goal however I have been re-examing my HHJ and realize that MBL is where I want to be................now if I can just get full SL I will be a happy camper.

 

[southerncitygirl]

i never thought i would get to apl so wsl is my goal, i have so much shrinkage as a natural wl would likely be apl unstretched.

 

[Prettyeyes]

I love MBL hair and was there relaxed but now that I am natural I will go for WSL so that my hair will be APL/BSL in it's curly state or twist outs. SO I AM GOING FOR WSL DUE TO SHRINKAGE. It does seem like the new board standard.

 

[dachsies_rule!]

I did want WL hair when i started, but now i'm reaching for the stars => HL
