How long does hair have to be before it is considered long?

I know to diffrent people that would be diffrent leingths but I just wonder from a group of (several not all) extreamly long haired women, how long does my (or someone elses) hair have to be before it can be considered LONG by myself or others.

For me (im not extreemly long by any means

) id say anything nearing hip would start being considerd long. Just my 2 cents

According to the 'rest' of the world, BSL is long...just google 'long hair styles'

For me personally, I won't feel like my hair is LONG until it is at least waist...hip is even better. Extreme length, to me, is past TBL and DAYUM! is past fingertip

For me waist seems long.

For me my hair will be long again when I have to move it to tuck in my shirts. I guess that would make it waist.

On others, I think long hair starts about mid back.

Funny how that works, but we have a zillion long haired folks around here. And a high native american population, and it seems the majority of them (both genders) grow their hair long.

I'd second the notion that BSL is considered long by today's society. For me, once I get to waist I feel that my hair is long as that's when it starts to get in the way when worn. Anything hip or longer would be considered very long by society in general as it is not seen that often any more. Around here we are so used to hair of incredible lengths that we often forget to appreciate our "long" hair until we reach classic, etc., but in reality, BSL or longer is LONG to the rest of the world (and we DO live in the rest of the world just like everyone else!)

I have waist length hair, and I still think it's short.
Buttlength hair is long imo

But that's different for a lot of other people:P

Classic and beyond is long to me. Anything below knee is really long.

If I were describing someone's hair to somebody else, I'd call anything from BSL onwards long. Although in the news media they describe missing women as having 'long hair' when it's just shoulder-length.
