Ive measured and remeasured but for some reason I feel like im wrong. Ok so, I’m 5’5 and ive measured my BSL to be 23, my waist length to be 29 and my hip length is somewhere around 32-33. Does this seem right? I feel like everyone elses BSL is like 25,26, or 27. I know everyone is different but do my measurements sound right?

BSL is 27" on me, but I'm 5'10" with a long torso. It seems reasonable that your BSL measurement would be 4" shorter than mine.

Everyone's body is different. My waist-length is 23" which is much at all... Maybe show us a picture?

The LHC standard of measurement is to start from the front hairline... 23" to waist sounds like you might be starting from the ponytail?

My hair measures about 24 right now. I do suppose I have somewhat of a longish middle torso

It will vary based on height and torso/leg proportions, I'm 5'8" and BSL is 26, WL is 32 and HL is 35 inches. I was also confused when I first started coming here because the majority of the active posters then were much shorter than me which made the same lengths very different. This is a helpful thread to go through if you want more examples https://forums.longhaircommunity.com/showthread.php?t=34714



eta: Your measurements sound within a 'normal' range to me. From your picture I see the doorknob is level with your waist, I just went and checked myself against a door like that and the doorknob is level with my tailbone :) So just different bodies.

Yes that makes sense

On me, BSL is 20". Everybody is different. I'm 5'3", and I have a short torso. So, your measurements sounds right to me.
