Do you still feel like your hair is short?

**PixxieStix** · May 5th, 2012, 09:27 PM

Only. Every. Single. Day.

It is however, the longest it has been in about eight years, so while I feel it is super short still (almost to APL), I can take some small comfort in the fact that I'm making progress. Three more years or so and I'll have my goal length hair! I should be busy enough this next year that with wearing it up almost every day BSL should creep up on me all sneaky like and maybe then I'll start to feel like a long hair again!

Yes, all the time even though I'm at hip length. I just want it to grow so much longer! Patience, I know but I'm also growing out layers and bangs and that'll take awhile before I gain more length.

i agree with everyone. it never feels long enough. it's kinda like losing weight -- it's never enough. i feel fat if i'm 10 lbs underweight or 10 lbs overweight or 40 lbs overweight. it's all the same in my mind

I don't feel like it's short, but I sure don't feel like it's long, either!

Nope, it definitely feels long now - it keeps getting caught on the back flap buttons of my jeans (>(oo)<)`

I just console myself with thinking "it will never be this short again" and go on growing.

Part of my perception comes from the fact my goal has been ankle for years, but after years of it stalling at midback I gave up. Only after being led here did I start learning what was happening and start growing again. Now, I'm so impatient because I had already waited so very, very long.

Mine simply feels BSL. I am strange aren't I?

No, but it did until I was nearly at hip length (and my hip measurement was quite low, too). It's crazy how much this place can warp our perspective.

Same here. I recently found some pictures taken about a year after I started properly growing my hair out. My hair was not even waist length, but it was still longer than almost anyone else's I knew. Of course it was also a damaged mess, but I felt a real sense of achievement then.

I always find myself envying someones nice longish hair and then realize that mine is actually longer lol
I still feel like my hair's short and it always surprises me at the salon when they compliment me on my 'long' hair [around bsl]
