Do you still feel like your hair is short?

No, not usually, not anymore. But that's fairly recent. After joining LHC, it felt short all the time pretty much 'till waist, and at that point it started SOMETIMES feeling short, sometimes feeling long. As it's grown, its felt long more of the time and short less of the time. Since a couple inches ago (I'm just coming up on tailbone now), it feels long almost all of the time. Right now, it only feels short when: a) it's in a braid over my shoulder (feels SUPER short then!), or b) I've just trimmed (even a teeny tiny trim).

My mid back hair (somewhere between BSL and waist) feels disappointingly short to me now, even though it's the longest it's been since I was a kid. Long to me would be waist.

Now that I think about it, I don't think I'll be happy until I have Jemima Kirke's hair.

Yep! But I'm only APL, so it *is* pretty short.

I have a feeling it won't feel long until waaaay past BSL! :-)

Yes, and I think since joining LHC, I feel like my hair is shorter, because everyone else's hair is longer

but that's just in my head. My hair is actually probably longer than the average in my area even though it's only BSL. And my layers and fringe have gotten significantly longer since joining LHC even though my length isn't growing much (since my S&D last month

)

I'm pretty sure it's mostly in my head, because I'm thinking about long hair and how much I want it to grow - and WHY WON't IT DAMNIT!??

I would like that, thanks!

I am going to correct myselft. My hair in fact feels long. I have redefined my goal from BSL to waist (more like half way in between those in fact) but not because my hair doesn't feel long, but because when I look at it now, I can see it could hide some of my love rolls (handles) on the back and some business in the front with that lenght.

ETA: While it does not feel short, it does feel thin. My updos are tiny. Some more lenght will help with that too.

yes i do, i am still waiting for the day that it will feel long..

Always. In my profile you'll see that instead of the exact current length I have put never quite enuff (because enough is too long a word to include), but I never feel my hair is long enough, and I think a lot of people feel the same way.

But waistband is a great achievement. Don't listen to your mom. I never did.

Before I joined LHC, I felt like my hair was think and longish. Now I feel like it is short and thin. This humors me considering most of my friends have waist length hair or longer and I never felt this way around them. You guys are intimidating I guess! :P
