fashion, sort of hair length

Wow fruitbat - love your gazongas for going that short... I'd love to see a shot where we get a sense of the whole thing. I've been in a state of hair-flux for some months now. After years of wearing it butt-long, straight, and all one length, I got a bit bored and chopped it off in a sort of wonky bob-like thing with some bangs... what a disaster. Really regretted that - just didn't end gelling with my personality at all... Now it's growing out again - almost down to my shoulders, and bangs slowly and painfully growing out too... and I can't decide what to do now. Part of me wants to go back to wearing it long as it just seems to go with my flow, but I'm also being pulled to buzz it all off. A woman in my Buddhist sangha did just that - with dog clippers no less, and she looks phenomenal. I think I'm attracted to the buzz thing partially because I've been going through an immense personal transformation recently and want some way of marking that as a rite of passage and a renunciation of sorts... also, from a practical standpoint as my hair, when long, is a lot of work - it's very porous, takes a long time to dry (2 or 3 days if I don't blow dry at least a little), and tangles very easily. My ethos when it comes to my hair is total lo-maintenance - I'm totally unwilling to spend time or money on it (beyond a little shampoo and occasional henna), and I refuse to go to a salon. The thing with getting a buzz, though, is that I'm afraid I'd look too manly. The women I see who look good with a buzz have delicate bone structure & features. I'm slim but I have a large frame and there's nothing much delicate about me in terms of my facial features.

So buzz or grow... what to do...

 

Mine is about 6 inches past my armpits and hope to get it down to at least my tailbone. It kind of sucks having really long hair with a little one - she yanks on it every chance she gets, so kind of stuck wearing it up most of the time. I do the olive oil thing too to keep it healthy looking. If you leave it in overnight (wear a hat or else you will wake up in a pile of grease) it is amazing.

 

February this year it was down to my waist but I cut it off to shoulder length as the ends were getting ratty. Now it's a good 10-15cm below my shoulders (my hair grows very quickly)... would like it to go to the waist again, and I promise myself that I will look after it better and not be so boring with it!

LOL Lomasmoma, I also have to tie it back when I'm feeding the boys etc as they grab onto it every chance they can get!

 

mine is bottom of my neck length now,,,,,,
but it is subject to change without prior notice
was a couple inches longer til bout a week ago when i just wanted to shave it all of again...
yes, i did that a few years back after i had tortured it with neon colors n mohawks n such for years... which actually was how i really liked my head,,, bald,,, just felt kewl sorta like the skin on my head had shrunk .....

this week i decided that since i cant let me whole head dread at this moment in time,, n since i cant do the bald thing again,,, that i would have two lil dreads in the back of my head... then again me aussie mate is sendin me sum new dye too... so who knows,,,,,

 

can't find the correct spelling but fernetically its a coxic
My hair is 16 to 17 inches long, I have no real plans for its length, I don't cut it enough to encourage any sort of speedy growth and I don't really like the idea of cutting it short.

 

mine is to my shoulders. i have been wanting to grow it to my butt, but i keep on getting impatient and cutting it chin lenght because its just so much easier to deal with.

 

My hair looks about shoulder length, a few inches longer.

My actual dreads.. I'm not sure how long they are. I've got a big jumble of things going on. The ones in the back are about five inches long, some of my dreads are 8 or 9 inches long.. It's greaet.

 

My hair was 22 inches in the longest spot, but then I got it cut because it was uneven and now it's 19 inches long and pretty even all the way around. It's the first time my bangs have been the same length as the rest of my hair! I'd like to grow it as long as it was again, though, I just hope I can keep it even. But it's been really healthy and it's a lot easier to deal with now that I got the dead ends cut off.

 

I have my hair about 23 inches long right now, but I'm going Monday to get it cut for free since I am donating 10 inches to Locks of Love. . .they make wigs for people who need/want em. Anyway, I haven't had a hair cut in at least 2 years. I'm a little nervous. . .but it will totally be worth it!!

 

This is my hair. (Hope photo shows up.)

 

Waist length.... just measured out of curiosity and it's 27 in. long. Very dark brown, all one length, and kinda wavy. It's thick so the length helps to weigh it down. It gets really hot & humid here, so braids work beautifully-- especially at the beach. I usually trim off a 1/2 in. or so every other month to keep it pretty!

 

my hair is down to the middle of my belly, jsut under my ribs!
the back is slightly longer though!

 

I'm 5'7" and yep, it's waist length.

 

Long hair is awesome. It has this weird tendency to make the wearer (girls in particular) really attractive. I always feel a little depressed when someone goes and gets it chopped. My ex-girlfriend did that twice, and each time I was like "WHAT?!"

Mine's about shoulder-length, and nice and reddish-brown and poofy.

 

my hair is 6 inches below my armpit. i think i like it like this long... but ive been thinking about dreading it for a long time, but i really like being able to run my fingers through it

 

I measured it again it comes above my bellybutton

 

its at least in the middle of my back now, but i want it... probably ending right before my butt starts. i would hate for it to get in my way after that

 

Mines almost to my shoulders. A few more inches! Lol. I want mine long again like when I was younger. Had it to my waist

 

Mine is about 14 inches long. I'm going for waist length hair, like how it was last year. Something got into my head last December and I cut it into a 1920's style Louise Brooks bob. Really stupid idea... I maintained it for about two months.
