Hi :)
So I've made an appointment with my hairdresser for this coming tuesday, I'll either be straight up getting a cut to waist or dip dying the ends and then chopping at a later date when it fades-as it turns out it would appear I am a sucky judge of hair length....I was looking at some pics and asked my mum 'thats about my length, right?' and she gives me this weird look and is like 'ahhhh no? Your's is heaps longer'. So I know where my waist is but I'm having a hard time imaging length (from the back and the front) and I was hoping some of the lovely ladies on this board might post some pics of their hair at waist length to give me a better idea? My current hair is in my avatar....I think it's about BCL........maybe?
Thanks :)
Vanessa

I would love to see any curlies at waist.. does it stay curly, or do your curls pull out?

Just popping in to say WOW- waist length looks longer than I envisioned for some reason!!! I'm only BSL but seeing how long waist ACTUALLY is makes me feel like a real longhair! :lol:

Don't take this the wrong way, but I have to ask. Don't you remember being waist length? Or has it been a while?

Wow pretty! Tori Angeli your hair is my idea of perfection! Love it :) Also no I don't remember my hair at waist.......I haven't been shorter than about BCL since I started growing it at 5 LOL, this'll be the shortest I've ever had it in my adult life-I'm a wee bit nervous to be honest, excited too, but nervous!

An excuse to post a pic? :D woohoo!

Here's my hair back in January, when I pretty much called it waist length. It's quite odd for me to look at this pic, my hair seems to have grown quite a lot since then!

Ah, ok, that makes sense! Yes, I can see you being nervous about chopping almost half your hair off! Please post before and after pics!

I guess it isn't half. Maybe a third. :)

Awesome, thanks! I measured it this morning (first time I've ever done that LOL) it's about 31 inches long.........I'll measure again at waist length :)

Your hair is so pretty! I understand that people need new experiences and if you never had shorter hair you are curious and you might like it that way much better. Hope you like your new style!

I'm with your mom. Yours is heaps longer and oh I hope you don't cut it too much. Your length is what I'm dying to have!
I just think its so pretty.

Waist is a fun length to have. I think it's flattering on pretty much everyone, and you might be surprised by how it feels and moves with so much of it gone. I do think you'll enjoy having a change from what you've done all your life, and can't wait to see pictures!

are you short then? my hair is at about 33" and it's barely hitting my waist (I'm 5'5") you hair looks way longer than mine (by a good 6-8", I'd say)


good luck with your cut!

Thanks guys :) my hair grows pretty fast so I should be able to grow it back in a year, and I do need a change. I think maybe a little too much of my identity is tied up with my hair-who am I without it??;)
I'm 5'6 so I've likely stuffed up measuring it...

Your hair must be 40" or so.

thistledown, your hair is BCL (and very pretty) which is lots longer; waist will definitely feel like a big change. Shorter, lighter, and it will probably feel strange not to have hair brushing your lower back anymore. That said, if it's something you want to do, you should. Keep us posted.
When I get to my goal length I definitely want to dip-dye, as you mentioned. It's an opportunity to have fun with color without worrying about damage since it will be cut off eventually. And if you don't like it... you don't have to worry about it for long. So why not?




I would love to see any curlies at waist.. does it stay curly, or do your curls pull out?
I'm pretty sure it depends on the original curl pattern.
But, Egana, you've given me the opportunity to post a pic! :p Here is my hair at a little past waist, but not yet hip (counting waist as the narrowest part of my torso, so somewhere between BSL and hipbones). It's curly, but in a loose, elongated way -- the curls are stretched-out almost to the point of being waves and don't give much volume, but I still have root curl. My curl was tighter at shorter lengths (always below APL though; I have never had my hair short and curly), but not by much.
I'm keeping an eye out for loss of curl at longer lengths. I'm guessing somewhere between BCL and classic it will end up being mostly wavy throughout the length, with a bit of curl at the ends, because my curls probably aren't tight enough to remain at longer lengths.

Serious case of curl envy over here! Yeah I'm still a bit freaked out......but I want to do it at least once in my life, I'll never go pixie short or even shoulder short, so why not now? It'll grow back and I might even love it soooo much I keep it there for a while :)

So heres what happened: I didn't get it cut, my hairdresser wants me to be sure, so next wednesday I'm getting it dipped dyed blue and then about 3-4 weeks from then I'll be having it cut. She thinks waist will be very nice on me and that I'll hopefully be able to master a few more hairstyles that I've been really wanted to try, like french twists. She also told me it was very healthy for it's length :)

Sounds like your hairdresser is a keeper. It's probably a good idea to "be sure."
Also, I want pics of the dip-dye when it gets done.
