What hair length are you aiming for and why?

Tailbone length straightened so its waist length curly. It's between SL and APL now and shrinks to full NL curly.
 
I would love to have healthy thick MBL hair, mainly to prove to my husband and family that anyone can have long hair.
 
I want TB. I'm in between Mbl and WL and I feel like I've been stuck here forever. Errrrr. My hair just does not want to go to WL.

I ultimately want HL because I've never had hair that long and I think long hair looks so sensual and feminine..I can't wait:yep:

Nix08 Let's do this!

This is why I'm trying so hard to get to MBL this year. I want HL! I think I've made it back to BSL and ionkur. Not long enough!!!
 
Fine stranded natural here.

TBH, I'd be happy and FULL APL stretched. It takes so long to wash and detangle this mess now at almost SL! I can't imagine doing that at MBL with my busy single mom life with kid, work, social life. As it is now I have to take almost 2 nights out of the week just to do my hair. Its too much! Just trying to be realistic in my goals. Any longer and I could crack and texlax and that's never been good for my hair.
 
I am aiming for MBL or WL, so that when I wear it out in its natural state it's at least SL. Also the longer my hair grows, the less time I will have to spend detangling it.

I can't wait to have those nice mini twists on my back.

Anything longer- I ain't got time for all that.
 
Bottom of Bra strap/MBL. I feel like any more would be too much for me, although I love, love, love to see ladies with WL to HL hair.
 
I really want to be full BSL curly...maybe like an inch past it. I think id have to be HL stretched for that at least. Not way too far from it...i believe I'll be there by Spring 2014.
 
Goodness! Y'all really want some hair! :lol: TBL, WL, etc... I don't know what I'd do with all that hair. I JUST got to a true SL for the first time in my life since having a jheri curl back in the 80s! :look: I mean, I was beginning to think that I couldn't get to SL without that curl.

So, APL stretched is the length I'm aiming for. I'm natural with ALOT of shrinkage, so I just want my braidouts to be right above or at my shoulders. I also would like a decent ponytail high up. I think APL will give me all the styles I want and I'll finally have LONG hair.
 
I want to be somewhere between waist and hip. My wigs comfortably reach to about waist length so it would be amazing to have REAL hair that long. Also my hair is not super thick and has a ton of layers so I don't think it wouldn't feel like too much.
 
If I could get to full APL, I could be content. I already have long wash and style sessions as is. I wouldn't mind BSL stretched if I found a quicker way to manage detangling.
 
I want my braid-out with medium/small size braids (~25-30) to fall mid-back length. Idk how long that is stretched. I'd say my hair falls around APL right now w/ that size. Probably have like 3 more years to go. But knowing me, I'll never be satisfied with any length..

Apl stretched/ironed. I look prettiest with shoulder hair, or higher so may end up cutting it.

If I decide to go heat free then I will need SL~APL in a braid out.
 
It would be nice if I can achieve APL or BSL with my twist... I'd say bsl in twists. I don't care much about stretched hair cuz I'm almost always in twists anyways...
 
I'll take WL!

I can hardly believe that as I am typing this I KNOW that one day that dream WILL become a reality now that I am natural. As a relaxed head it was impossible for me because my hair just kept breaking off - I tried for 7 years...
 
I think I want hip length. Like this:

I want curls like this:

And waves like this:

I think full HL should accomplish that. I could be there in 2 years. Fingers crossed.
 
I would absolutely LOVE to be waist length. At first I wanted bsl but since being in here and seein all the lovely hair, WL is what I want, its what I NEED :)
 
Although I would want really long hair either way, this crazy natural hair shrinkage makes length crucial :lol:!
I wanted HL hair, but ladies seem to be hitting TBL and butt-length left and right. Now I want to grow my hair between HL and Sitting-on length, hair gods willing :lol:. I want hair this long because 1) it's beautiful 2) it's rare in general, but especially so for black women 3) I would like to have APL hair curly, and my shrinkage is no joke.
 
Am I the only person that wants mid thigh length to knee length hair? Why doesn't anyone else want hair this long lol? I'm thinking I should be mid thigh length in another four years if I am shoulder length/collarbone length now.

I would be happy to get to mid-thigh length or longer, I just don't think it will happen. My hair doesn't seem to grow once it reaches around tailbone... it sat around that length for about two years. (I had to cut back some after a huge shed that hasn't quite ended yet.) However, even at tailbone, my hair remained shoulder-APL when curly.

My daughter has tailbone-class length hair, so maybe she'll get to mid-thigh. Her hair shrinks to APL-BSB.
 
I would like to grow it as long as possible! Tailbone is my dream goal but i would be happy with full BSL
 
A girl can dream and if dreams could be bought i'd have my WL hair at the drop of a dime

Now if i can get my braids this long i'd be a very happy camper......this looks like a good 3-4 years but like i said. A girl can dream. Speaking of which i had a great hair dream last night, that i my hair was MBL and i was shocked in my dream too. Oh yes i'm gonna Fake it till i make it!
