Do you still feel like your hair is short?

[CheekAllison]

I've been growing my hair out for about six or seven years now (with a few minor cuts and trims) and even though my hair touches the waistband of my jeans, it still seems short to me. Is anyone else like this?

I feel so vain because of this. My mom's hair is like 2 inches long and she's nagging me to cut it. I still feel like it's short...

Yes. My hair only felt long when it was one length, thick (pre-anemia) and BSL+. I'd say it was almost waist.

I've been to BCL and I'm at hip now, and it still feels short to me.

Yes!

Mine's just at BSL after the last trim, I feel like it's so painfully short and it's barely worth trying to so something with it. Part of that, I think, is that it's become so thin with age and abuse. The roots are slowly getting thicker with the changes I've made since finding this place, but still...

Even though it's a lot longer than almost everyone I interact with on a daily basis, it still feels very short.

My hair starts to feel long when it hits my hips because that's when the ends start to brush on me - before that, they hang in the air so I can't feel it. When I cut my hair to waist length a while ago it felt short because I couldn't feel my ends LOL.

At almost BSL, I still feel like I have hundreds of inches to go before it really feels like it's long. Actually, it's the longest it's been since I was a kid, so I need to give myself some credit. I have a goal to let it go as long as it will grow, but I'm also enjoying the process. I like being unique for my age, where most women my age wear it much shorter.

Yes; mine is at my knee, and it still seems short.

I keep promising myself that one day I will have long hair. But I'm really beginning to wonder just what those words mean.

I totally understand what you mean! My hair is at the bottom of my butt and it STILL feels short. It's frustrating but much more common than it feels like.

[Mesmerise]

Hehe I will be sooo disappointed if I reach hip and it still feels short lol. Of course it feels short NOW because I cut off so much it sort of needed it... but then again... it still looks bad... just short and bad!! (It's not quite BSL now).

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.

[misspriss]

Yes, but only because a year and a half ago it was at waist, now it's APL and feeling quite short.

Although I am starting to notice "long hair-ness" when I do stuff with it now, and it's great. Curly works so much better on it, I can do updos, it's great

When it was waist, it felt long. That's how I knew when to stop growing.
