what is long hair to you

[SVT]

I voted for waist length.

 

[chellero]

Full APL or longer.

 

[MzOptimistic]

The closer I get to reaching my goals. The greedier I get. At first I said BS. Now I'm thinking MB I guess I have high expectations because being a member on here I know it's possible for our hair to reach that length

yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!that length and beyond!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[20Pearls_Girl]

IRL, collar bone or longer

In the world of LHCF, APL or longer.

 

[prospurr4]

Before I discovered hair boards, I saw anything past full shoulder length as long. But now, BSL and beyond is long to me.

 

[ChocolateKindOfCool]

full bsl and beyond

 

[spacetygrss]

APL or longer.

 

[anon123]

In the world of LHCF, APL or longer.

you know, this is what it's slowly turning into for me, too. i have higher standards for members of this hair board. because it's all relative, right? i guess i look at what's comparatively long, and in the real world, collar bone may be comparatively long for black women, but it's not comparatively long for people on this board.

i was listening to a talk radio show last night and i was surprised to hear the host refer to some as having "long, blonde, shoulder length hair". we have had this discussion from our perspective many times. i was just taken aback that a white woman would consider shoulder length long hair. as we keep saying here long hair is relative to the person being asked. see its not just us.

thats something to think about!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[myronnie]

I'm gonna have to say waist-length on this one..
Now that my hair is almost Mid-back length and from reading another forum (LHC), I kinda have a whole different perspective.

I mean whenever i see brastrap I'm like ahh thats pretty but it's not really what i consider "long".
Once you get to waist I think you've entered the realm of the long-haired heads.

 

[Imani]

APL is long to me. Its my goal, never been past SL

SL can look long if its really full and healthy

 

[HoneyA]

APL and beyond, especially when it's thick and healthy!

 

[RedVelvet310]

ive seen it happen on a lot of hair boards.everyone has their own way of thinking of hair length,and what is considered to be long and short.please,everyone,what is your definition of long,medium,short,or ultra short hair........no matter the length,healthy hair is happy hair.

I' consider *my* hair long when it's waist length... after lurking for so long and drooling over you LHCF girls' long head of hair seeing BSL IRL doesn't make me look twice anymore, I actually see it more often. It's *THICK HEALTHY* BEAUTIFUL WL that gets me.. on ANY race.

 

[GoingNatural]

I see APL on most people and think it's long. On me APL isn't long and BSL is starting not to look long.

So, I guess for me MBL would be long, but when i see others usually APL looks pretty long to me--not extremely long, but long.

 

[Starr1]

IRL, long to me is BSL.

On the boards it's around waist.

On me, my current length isn't long enough.

 

[cocoberry10]

I consider below brastrap to be long.

 

[NaturalBeauty87]

When I had SL-CL ppl would say that I had "long" hair, but I always considered it to be medium length. APL is long to me and BSL and beyond are really long to me! I'm still hoping and praying for long hair!

 

[jamaraa]

If you can or just about sit on it, it's LONG.....but it all depends on the person you're asking about. Some it's APL and even SL or NL....it just depend on the person and their hair history.

 

[sunshinne368]

when you can roll it up and put it in your back pocket thats long to me. A friend of mine had knee length hair, and I've always wanted hair that long!

 

[caribeandiva]

APL but it wasn't listed so chose BSL to midback.

 

[Sunshine0801]

Before I went natural (4 years ago), I considered anything past SL to be long.

After I went natural, but before LHCF, I considered APL and longer to be long.

After I reached BSL, I considered MBL to be long.

Now, I consider WL hair to be long.

I wonder what I will think when I reach WL.

 

[Grow_it_out]

When I got my hair cut a stylist commented I had long hair (shoulder length). I had never considered it long before.

 

[LilMissRed]

if ur sittin on it.. its long LOL nah seriously.. if its mid back.. I consider it long

 

[halee_J]

Anything past BSL.

 

[Stacy TheLady]

I voted BSl... thats my goal! I think APL is on its way to long hair but to me it is not really considered long hair. Thats just my opinion BTW

 

[*CherryPie*]

BSL/BSB AND LONGER

 

[*Muffin*]

BSL to Mid-back is long to me.

 

[Thiends]

For me, long hair is whatever is longer than I currently have. So, waist length or beyond.

When I describe others, long hair is anything bra strap length or beyond.
