I can't find...

[dragonfrog]

That page that showed pictures illustrating different hair lengths (BSL, waist, hip, etc.) I've been looking for it for about 20 minutes to show to my sister, and I can't find it. I know I found it on here before! Does anyone know where it is?

Thanks!

I think I can find it.

Yep, this one? http://www.ida.net/users/northstr/hairlength.html

Thank you so much, MirandaWelch! That was amazingly fast :) I'll have to bookmark it.

No problem :) There's a sticky called "Links to VIT (very important threads) that is where you can quickly get to most of the good posts and pages.

The 'waist length' photo there seems more like hip to me...

[pradabacon]

^^^I agree. But I'm very high-waisted, so... I guess waist and hip are pretty close on some folks and much farther apart on others. It would be nice to have more than one example in that link.

Hi there :) I'm new myself, so still learning a lot!

Before I found this place, I did a lot of benign neglect which seems to be a good thing :P

I wash ever 4 or so days. I put conditioner on the length first, leave that in and shampoo just the roots. I rinse with cold water, then fingercomb and air dry. That's what I did for my hair in that photo.

Today I'm trying an SMT treatment and using a bit of conditioner as leave-in :)

Thanks:)! I have been doing the conditioner on the length before I wash too. That seems to make my hair really soft that way. I have a hard time letting it airdry without feeling like its messy. I am only at flip length now (a little past my shoulders) so maybe when It gets longer it will flow better?

What is an SMT treatment? I'd like to try it too.

It's a deep condition recipe that someone on the forums here created. http://archive.longhaircommunity.com/showthread.php?t=14635 My hair is still drying, I was going to post pics on the thread later.

I don't think I've ever seen "flip length" mentioned.

Do a lot of the pictures not show up for anyone else? I can see a few lengths illustrated with more than one picture, but I'm just getting that torn picture thing. Maybe we could do an updated version with things like APL, collarbone length and a few others that are missing.

I don't know who did the original so I don't want to upset them, I just think our milestones have broadened a little to be more specific.

^^^Some of the pics don't work for me either.

I've seen flip length mentioned around the site (and I think it's also the first thing on that length page, but I'd like to see an updated version of it, too. I guess it's somewhere between chin and shoulder lengths?

On the waist part, it says waist is "the smallest part of the waist, a little above those hip bones". On me, waist and BSL are very close, but waist and hip are far apart. From what I've read around here, for most people, the definition of 'waist' seems to be the narrowest part of the torso, regarldless of where that falls, and 'hip' is at the top of the hipbones. :shrug: But I also see people calling themselves waist that I think are already alomost hip pretty often, too.

The page does mention the difference in body types for tailbone length, though. Some people here call tailbone at the top of the "vertical smile" *lol* and some at the end of the tailbone. There is an inch or so of difference there for me as well. I think I'll be calling TB at halfway between hip and classic...

I just found a good hair lengths chart online.

Good one, Hootie! Thanks!

[MirandaWelch]

Well according to that I am somewhere between mid-back and waist. Huh and here I thought I was BSL :laugh:

[pradabacon]

Your siggy pic looks about mid-back/almost waist to me, Miranda. Very pretty hair, btw! :flowers:

I think I like this bikini better on the hair length model. What do y'all think?

Same here. I would love to see (or do) an updated version. =)

Whoops! Sorry! You really should put down the e-cig when I'm online, dear.

Oh, but then you'd never get to use it...:hmm:
