I notice smaller people tend to get longer hair faster just because their body length is comparatively less than a taller person, which in fact makes measurements such as BSL, TBL, Classic etc relative and not factual descriptions of length, hence a very small person with waist length could theoretically have less hair length than a very tall person with say bsl hair.
Regardless, this poll just comes out of my annoyance at being a tall lady and seeing my smaller friends get length results sooner!!
I'm putting heights in meters and feet, hopefully these are accurate so all LHCers can participate, if you notice mistakes in conversion please feel free to correct me- there should have perhaps been more options especially perhaps a 1.80-190 metre slot but hell this took me long enough to do already, so I hope it will give an idea of the distribution we have here at LHC and perhaps a more in depth poll can be done at a later point....happy voting :)

This poll has TWO parts to it please find that which corresponds to you.

I am 5'2" and my hair is just a tad below BSL at 24ish inches (I am terrible at measuring my hair)

I'm 1m85, and at waist... so I didn't vote ... I'm curious about others though so I'll be ogling along! :D

I'm 1.9 and my hair is actually less than APL. Mostly I am growing my hair for updo purposes so I generally care more about actual length than body markers, but I agree it can be sooooooo frustrating knowing it is going to take forever to actually get the "waist". At least I am short-waisted ;)

I'm 5.25 and at BSL right now, but it took long because I have a long upperbody. :p

I'm only 5'4" at the most and my hair is 1" away from bsl so thats what I voted for (should have that inch by late march)

Thinthondiel
February 22nd, 2010, 11:08 AM
I'm 5'4", and my hair is actually between BSL and waist now, but my ends have started brushing waist when wet/stretched, so I picked waist.

I'm just shy of 5' 1" and have APL hair.

Also, I have a long waist and short legs. I think body ratio should be taken into account as well. Some people have really short waists and thus reach goals faster than others (well, until they hit bum length perhapse).

I'm 5'2" and at waist length, but I don't know if my height is completely to blame for how fast I reach goals. My hair grows at least an inch per month.

I'm 5'8" /1.73 m and 27 inches. I just cut off an inch of yucky hair and evened up my layers. Waist is around 31-32 inches on me. So I'd say height definitely a factor. A smaller person could already be at waist with 27 inches of hair.

I'm 5 feet tall and to get to my goal of waist length hair, my hair would have to be about 29 inches measured by LCH instructions. My hair is currently BSL and it's about 25-26 inches long. It's curly, so it's hard to get a good measurement. I also consider myself to have a high waist.

Couldn't vote.. 1.9m, hair is at tailbone. That measures out at about 37"

I'm 5'10" with hair just above my shoulders. My lovely MIL is just about 5"1' and her below shoulder hair is the same length in inches as mine. But given the choice, I suppose I'm happy being tall so taking a little longer to grow my hair seems a fair trade off.

I'm 5'9" tall with 54" long hair at my last measuring near the end of 2009. This reaches almost to my knees.

I picked "My hair is bsl and I am over 1.70 and below 180m/over 5.5 below 5.9 feet".

I'm not too short, but I think my hair grows reasonably quickly. I am satisfied with it.

I am 5.25 (around 5'3 1/2"... Yeah I count 1/2 an inch because it makes me feel taller :bigtongue:) and I have hip length hair that is about 31 inches

I have a very long torso though

I'm 5'1 and my hair is almost apl. I hadn't thought about the fact that short people meet their long hair goals faster. Woohoo!

RecklessCharlie
February 27th, 2010, 06:26 PM
I am 5'9" with a fairly long torso and very long legs, with hair that is just above waist now. Only thing I don't like about being tall is that if I was shorter, my hair would be at tailbone! :p

My hair is bsl and I am over 1.70 and below 180m/over 5.5 below 5.9 feet. I wish I was a little taller. Who cares I am the tallest (? problems with adjectives...) girl in my class;) I wouldn't mind 5 centimeters (2 inches) more, just for fun:) But it would take me longer to achieve my hair goals then. So... maybe not:D

This poll has TWO parts to it please find that which corresponds to you.
None of the criteria apply to me as you worded them.

I'm exactly 5'9" tall (not over, and not less). And my hair is juuuust APL.

But it's true that terms such as APL, WL. BSL, TB, etc, are all subjective, and depend upon each individual's body measurements. (ie - longer- or shorter-torsoed persons with comparatively longer or shorter legs will have different actual measurements with the same such term)

Lilacs
August 14th, 2010, 09:22 PM
I'm 5'10" and my hair is tailbone at 37" :) But I do have a slightly short torso so that when I'm sitting next to my 5'5" sister we are about the same height :D

RachelRain

I'm 5'7 or 5'8 depending on who's doing the measuring and my hair's just past classic, so I didn't vote.

schiele
August 15th, 2010, 12:12 AM
I'm about 5'8 or 1.72m, and my hair is around MBL. When my hair is wet and pulled straight I'm at waist, when dry it's a little longer than BSL because of curls/shrinkage.

Coriander
August 15th, 2010, 12:17 AM

I must be backwards on this. I envy those taller because they can have their hair an 'easier' length like hip. But its MOVES like very long hair.

January 26th, 2011, 03:50 PM
I'm 1,75m and my hair is not apl yet, more like upper back length.
I'm curious about the outcome, although I think that it won't be significant in any way.

Why are there no voting options for anyone taller? I am 6'2".

leslissocool
January 26th, 2011, 04:34 PM
I am 5'1, and I have waist length. My waist is about 30 Inch, which is as much as many of my 5'7 and taller friends, I am currently in 31 inches. I am really well proportioned (except on boob size :D) so I think it has to do more with body type than height. I have drawn many people in my life, and the rules of proportion in Figure are the same for someone 5'1 and 5'8. Little people under 4'9 and children usually are off proportion.

I met someone who is really tall who is at hip length because she has a really high hip, and her hair is only 3 inches longer than mine. I need at least 8 inches to be her length :(.

My friend is really tall, she also has a high hip but she is built proportioned so she does have 6 to 8 inches of hair more than me, and is at hip.

ibleedlipstick
January 26th, 2011, 08:17 PM
I'm 5'8, and long necked. I'm just now an inch or so below collarbone. It drives me mad, because I'm neck, then short torso, then all leg. So the distance between waist and hip will be nothing, but then between hip and knee would probably be years. I'm pretty sure that I'm too impatient for that though. :(

All you Knights of Knee, please see Part Two.

Mesmerise
January 28th, 2011, 02:27 AM
I am 1.50m and mine's past BSL but not quite waist length... which is about 26" for me, and waist will be about 30". And yes, I figured that being short means I get waist length faster than taller girls who may need that extra few inches to get there ;) Oh, well I should point out that I sort of have a longish torso and short legs (so they're super short) so 30" waist probably isn't that much different to other people (from reading the whole thread). However, if I were to go to knee it'd be quicker cause of my short legs!!

Question for other shorties - do people ever tell you that you should get your hair cut cause you'd look taller?? I have been told that before :P I think it's rubbish though lol. I'd rather just look short and have long hair!

virgo75
January 28th, 2011, 07:28 AM
I'm 5'3" (not sure how tall that is in meters?) and my hair is APL.
What's even better is that I have a short torso. :cheese:

So hopefully I'll be able to reach my goal lengths quickly and easily.
Being on the shorter side also helped me when my hair was short because it looked flattering on my small face.

I voted for 'My hair is waistlength and I am over 1.60 and below 1.70m/over 5.25 below 5.5 feet ' but it isn't true for me at all. I am 1,72m, the poll hasn't this option.

All the time! I have also had hairstylist tell me that I have a round face, so I need to cut my hair short so it will make it look thinner :shocked:!

I now now, from having my hair at waist, that the longer my hair is the more it pulls my face so it looks longer an leaner. I look horrible with short hair. And at 5'1 there is no high heel, or haircut that could ever make me look taller :( I just accept the fact that I am short.

Bubbleguppy
February 5th, 2011, 12:25 PM
I'm five feet tall, and my hair is currently BSL. I always forget to compensate my height in my hair length. I always feel like I should be able to do more with my hair at BSL, as I know other people with hair length similar to mine that can do buns and things that I can't. And then I remember that I'm much shorter, so my hair is actually shorter. It's pretty brain twisting! :)

Those hairstylists are talking nonsense! I have a square face, and my long straight hair can make it longer (not that I begrudge my square jaw, in fact I like it, but I sometimes yearn for an oval face, sigh...). So what you say is true, longer hair makes a round/square face seem longer.

I'm about 1.60 m and my hair is a few centimeters below the waist. Still my vote was for the 1.50- 1.60 meters with the waist length hair, it suited the best. Perhaps I have a little longer legs than back because the hair growing has been easy so far. :)

I am 25 and I am 4"8 and after two years, the ends are touching my bra strap now. I don't know the length because I haven't measured for months. ;) I am hoping/praying to gain at least 3 inches by August. My husband's sisters have never seen me with long hair only mom cuts.

I remember cutting it into a bob that 8th grade year (May) after it had been hip length. Then being a new high school freshmen (August) with shoulder length and by the end of my junior year, I had hip again. I went to get a trim that August for my senior year. Yeah she hacked it up to BSL and gave me a V line that I hated. :mad: I was mortified and cried!

My hair is bsl and I am 1.50-1.60m/4.92 feet- 5.25 feet.

I'm five feet even and my hair's a very long midback/bsl at just over 26 inches. BSL proper is around 23 inches on me, and waist length is somewhere around 30 inches.

I did indeed breeze through most of my upper-torso landmarks in a year and a half, so waiting to get the final half-foot to waist-length hair is TORTURE.

I'm confused, I'm 1.67, but I according to my conversions that should mean just under 5'6. :shrug:

Anyway, I'm at waist, but far more important to that is not my height, but the proportions of my body. I have a very high waist, with long hips. I reached waist at the same length people seem to reach BSL or Midback. But hey, I'll need to go a lot longer to reach hip than them, so it all works out I guess. Honestly, it seems most people hit waist around 29-32", regardless of height.

Maybe it'd be easier just to ask for hair length in terms of measurements rather than body markers and then height as well? Only suggesting that because it could vary a lot even at the same height depending on the length of someone's torso & lower body.

Other factors also greatly affect hair length, even something as simple as if someone wanted to cut it off, so it's kind of impossible to tell if height really is an advantage to get it to look longer, except for perhaps more extreme lengths. I always think tall people find it easier to look slimmer and get away with eating more, because their fat can be dispersed. ^-^ The rational part of my mind realises that a lot of other factors affect that too, but hey, the grass is always greener, right?

170 cm would be 5'7" (5.57743').

You're reading that as 5'5", when it's written 5.5', which would actually be 5'6", but it's just an approximate conversion. The confusion here is all in rounding and significant figures. Nothing like math to get in the way of a discussion about hair, lol.

As for your varying results when you're measuring your height, there could be a lot of contributing factors: the thickness of the soles of your shoes, your posture, etc. I have a minor back problem that causes my height measurements to vary by several inches, depending on whether or not my back is "in". It just affects my posture that badly.



Regarding the OP, I'm 1.73 m (5'8") and my hair is just brushing fingertip at 114 cm (45").

My hair is waist length and I am 5'4"

Today
I saw the doc for my annual exam and found I have shrunk...now 5'3.75" (from 5'5") :thud:
On an already short torso, shrinking enables landmarks to be reached sooner...but lack of usual length means not all styles can be achieved at that landmark.

That accounts for how I am able to recover so quickly from trims... and am now getting the urge to grow longer (past my original goal) :hmm:

I'm 5'7 (had to look up how tall 170 cm is, since that's what it says on my driver's license) and my hair is bsl/mbl (since this is considered the same length, with mbl the more gender neutral term).

I'm still 1.56 m, but my hair is now BCL :)

Still 156 cm, but my hair reaches my knees now. The first time I answered this poll, my hair was waist length.

I'm 70" tall and my hair measures currently 5'8" but I doubt there's a strand on my head much over 4.5 feet long

I was 5' but have shrunk to about 4' 11.5" (I think). One family member rolls their eyes when I ask them to measure and another just laughs and says, "You're short. Let's just leave it at that." My hair is KL.
