    Default what do you consider "long" hair?

    Since lurking around LHC i think my "long hair" perception changed. It used to be that BSL was pretty long to me but now I consider more around the waist or hip area long hair. I know a lot of non-LHCers that consider APL long though, and it's kind of weird to me. But maybe thats because I'm used to the idea of really long hair?

    So tell me ladies & gents, what do you consider long hair? I don't mean state-of-mind (like someone who treats their hair very nice and carefully), but physical appearance. I know everyone has a different opinion on this.

    (I'm one of those people that think a certain length looks long on someone else, but looks and feels short on me. I think it's my lack of height )

    I think BSL and longer are long. I feel like my hair is really short though; eventhough it's almost BSL length.

    For me, BSL is long-ish, and long starts at waist.

    But that's probably because mine is at BSL at the moment - it'll probably shift as I grow along

    I consider my hair long in real life because compared to other people's hair, it is longer. My hair has been much shorter than what I have now for much of my life. Also, whenever I make a meez or simpsonize myself, the category of hair that matches my hair is labeled "long." My hair is shoulderblade length. I will consider long by LHC standards when it reaches my waist or gets to BSL or a little longer. It is a shifting goalpost.

    IMHO I say for women long is waist and really long is hip and beyond. But for guys, APL is long and waist and beyond is really long I hold them to different standards. LOL

    I've always thought of APL as long, but my hair didn't feel long to me until it passed my waist.

    Having been a short hair person for a while I consider my hair long if I can manage to get it into a ponytail without and clips

    Mid back + is long on other people; but I still don't think my hair is all that long. It's definitely not short anymore, but for some reason I'll look at waist and for some reason it seems longer than mine; not to mention when I look at someone with classic +, it'll take a while before my hair gets there.
