Can your height impact how long your hair looks?

[- Lizzy -]

I hope that question doesn't sound silly but I have wondered for the longest time: Does height impact how long our hair looks. Im pretty tall and have "Short" hair (about 2 inches below the armpit I think) and I wonder if I was short, would it appear longer?

If you were short, you would have less hair, but it would appear longer, yes, if you go by body markers.

Absolutely! My hair is about 22" measured as is the norm on here, on me the longest point of it is at the bottom of my bra strap (the rest at the top of it). I would imagine that that length would be a hell of a lot shorter on anybody taller than my meagre 5'1". I think it'd be about armpit length on most others!

Yes, I am always whining about this, lol. While the length would remain the same the shorter the person the faster their hair will (usually) reach body markers. I have a friend with mid thigh length hair. On me that length might stretch to classic length. Sad but true, lol.

I'm only 4'10" so my hair appears to grow long really fast, when in fact it's just the height deception.

Yes that's about APL on me

Lol yes 22" is exactly APL on me.

As to the original question, yes I'm 5' 9" and when i joined here my hair was exactly shoulder at 17". When i joined the shoulder to APL thread I noticed that a lot of people who were nearly APL had the same measurements as me. I'm at 19" now but have watched a few people reach APL and leave the thread with 18 or so.

Yea I'm 5' 8.5" and my hair is 25.75" which isn't even a proper BSL on me. My hair doesn't really look very long but probably would on somebody else :/

[vampyyri]

Yup, I'm 5'9" with a short torso, so past HL, everything is really spread out

I'm 5"1 and I think my hair in in the 22 to 25 inch range in my profile pic (which really needs updating). My current 32" (approximately) goes a little way onto my bottom. If I measured that length on my much taller boyfriend it would probably be about mid back
