I just realized, happily, that it won't take as long to get to waist length hair as I originally thought it would, because I am very petite and especially short in the torso. Measuring LHC style, my hair only needs to be 28" to be waist length! Of course, having curly hair makes the grow out time a bit longer, but I only have around 13" to go since I'm right around 15" curly (16.5 straight).

If you measure LHC style, how many inches is it to waist length for you?

I'm not quite that short, I'm 5'2", but as I said a minute ago NONE of it is torso, I have such a short torso it's ridiculous. I can wear normal length pants most of the time, my legs are only a hair shorter than average.

Difficult to tell because every time I think I'm nearly there it seems to slip away somehow ... But at the moment it looks like I'll be there at around 30".

ETA: I'm 5'3"

I have a very high waist/short torso which brings waist, on me, to 30 inches. I'm 5' 6" and very skinny.

30 inches for me. :)

Waist is 29 inches on me. I think I'm about 5'4" tall, give or take half of an inch or so.

Waist for me is 76cm / 30"

I am short but my torso is actually reasonably long in comparison.. all the shortness is in my legs XD (I'm like 5'1 hehe)

28" or so. I'm 5'3.5"!

I'm 5'4" but very short waisted. I guess not quite as much as I thought, though, reading this thread. 32 inches to waist for me, but then it will just be another 1 inch to my hips. My waist almost doesn't exist it feels like sometimes. :)

Jeez, now I'm starting to doubt my original measurement of how long until my waist. I'll have to try to find my tape measure again.

I am 5'2.5", and ridiculously long waisted. Waist for me measures 34". I'm 62.5 inches tall, with a 34" waist. Does this seem unfair to anyone else?!

My waist almost doesn't exist sometimes. I can tell with something tight on, like a swimsuit, but shirts that are actually comforable make it hard to tell. My hips are only an inch or so down from there, too. :p

I'm chilling at about waist now, so 31"? I'd say somewhere about there. I'm 5'7", so I guess I have a short waist for my height!

I'm 5'10. I'm mostly leg, but somehow waist length is pretty far for me- I'm at 40 inches right now and that's just past waist with very curly hair. Actual waist is probably about 38 inches on me.

IcarusBride

I'm 4ft9in and at 27" the tips of my hair are at waist but I think around 30" I'll feel that I have "waist length hair".

32" on me! It could be worse I'm 5'11" but its all hips, legs and neck with an average size torso. One day I'll get there.

About 31" is waist for me (I am at 30.5 so I'm at "waistish" now). I am somewhere between 5'4"-5'.5". I always thought I was high waisted, but looking at everyone else's numbers here makes me think otherwise.

Im 5ft 3 3/4s and its 30.5 inches to the waist, that is from where my hair would start at the top of my forehead.

I am long waisted, most belts on coats etc have to be repositioned down a bit. My tail bone is 38 inches.

Being long-necked, I'm 18" to collarbone! Waist is gonna take forever - I'm not even gonna measure. :(

curlytm
June 11th, 2010, 04:23 PM
I measured my waist to be at 30" and I'm 5'4. I think I'm proportioned in an average kind of way. So I currently have about 11-12 inches to waist. So 2 years? Maybe a little less since I average a little more than half an inch of growth a month. :)

30isthenewblack
June 11th, 2010, 05:14 PM
I have a very high waist/short torso which brings waist, on me, to 30 inches. I'm 5' 6" and very skinny.

From memory, I think I reached waist at 30 inches and hip at 34 inches. I am the same height as you and build :D

Foxknot

Thirty-twoish inches is about waist for me, and I'm about 5'8". XD

32" for my fiance. Only 9" to go! She is also 6' tall but her height is in her legs.

PiroskaCicu

I think it would be around 28 -30 inches for me. I'm only 5'1"

Naava
June 16th, 2010, 04:15 AM
28-29 inches for me. I'm 5'3 with short torso.

Saying my hair is a little past waist doesn't really mean anything to me. Waist lenght hair on someone with longer torso definitely looks more impressive than my waist lenght hair :)

About 30" I'm 5'2" but my torso is average length. My legs are just very short. Makes it VERY hard to find jeans.

Aurantia
June 16th, 2010, 03:57 PM
Wow. I'm 5'7" and waist length is barely 28" for me.

I always knew I had a super short torso and chicken legs but this is ridiculous.

OperaTeacherMom

Hmm, I just measured and not only am I short waisted, but apparently I'm short all through my torso! Tailbone would only be 36" for me!

jel
June 17th, 2010, 11:54 AM
Waist length was 33" on me, and I'm 5'10". This is real waist, though, not the jeans waistband which is a few inches lower...

slythwolf
June 17th, 2010, 12:31 PM
5'8" with a short torso, so waist length is 30" for me.

After reading this thread, I had my husband measure how many more inches it would take for me to get to waist length...he said, 10 more inches. Now, if my hair continues to grow a half inch per month, I have 20 months to go...ugh, the waiting....:)

Cupofmilk
June 20th, 2010, 02:39 PM
I;m 5-10 and my my hair touches the awaist - about an inch above belly button height and I measured it 27/28 last time. I think either I have got waist wrong or I measured hair wrong. My hairs at the front measure 27 inches themselves

wait. if im 5'5 and a bit and my waist is at 28 inches, does that make me high waisted or not? :?

HikerTrash
July 9th, 2010, 05:50 PM
Maybe I'm not sure where my waist is. I think my hair is already there at 33.5 in, but I'm only 5'3" and that seems awfully long compared to others here.

sarahramen

I am 5 and like 3/4 of an inch (its very important that I'm taller than five even) and waist on me(where my bottom rib is/where it is smallest/ an inch above my bellybutton) is 28 inches. I've always considered myself to have a long torso in proportion to my height so i will be looking for other shorties on here to see for sure.

30", I'm 5'4.5" (Like, literally, right in between 5'4" and 5'5") Always thought I had a super-long waist, maybe not?

MajorasMask

I'm only 5'3, but it's 30 inches for me. I have a long torso like someone else stated. SO GLAD they make shirts in a long style now. -__-

I also have a very long torso for someone of my size! Yes, if they didn't make long shirts half of my wardrobe would be gone!:p

My hair really just reaches waist length, but even I wouldnt say that its fully there. So im thinking about 37..inches ..maybe 38. Blahhh. Im just almost 6'1.....( 6'2 with my harleys on..:p)

Octave
November 26th, 2010, 03:00 AM
I'm 173 cm tall...which makes me 5'8.1 according to google. And my hair would be, if I measured it correctly, 34-ish inches at waist....yeah I got a long torso. :rolleyes:

KittyLost
November 26th, 2010, 04:22 AM

But waist at last measurement is 28" but that seems too short for me but I'm not sure.

lapushka
November 26th, 2010, 09:31 AM

My hair is waist length at 29", but only the tips are waist length. For the bulk to be waist length, I think it'll take a while still :l

In2wishin
December 4th, 2010, 11:40 AM
I am tall but very short waisted so waist for me is 30". If I want to go any longer than tailbone I would need to be really patient because my height is in the legs.

Waist for me is around 29/30" which means i only have 11/12" to go till i reach that goal :) although when i look in the mirror it seems such a long way off!

Only about 30" for me because I'm short in the torso too! That's my goal length.

December 7th, 2010, 12:51 PM
I must of done something wrong my meausurements seem strangly short. Very top of your head to the narrowest part of your waist right? The link for the hair measurement article doesn't seem to be working.

Seems to be 31" at the moment if I measure a half inch above the belly button. My waist has a long, straight, hardly-any-change-in-taper part going on, so : 31" give or take 0.5-1 inch :p.

29 inches is waist length for me, so I'm about 3 inches from there. I'm 5'3" with a short torso. Most of my height is in my legs, which are freakishly too long for my body. So I'm close to my current goal, but it'll take quite some time for my hair to stretch to my knees (my ultimate goal)

Waist is about 23" on me (from the front, which means it's probably like 21" from the back). And just for fun, I measured how long my hair would have to be to hit kneelength: 42"!

That "what's your terminal length?" calculator put my terminal length at 62 inches, which means I'd be able to get two inches more hair than I have in height. :p Wouldn't that be funny? Didn't get the tall genes, but apparently my hair can be "tall" for me!

Just wanted to clarify that I have quite a widow's peak, and measure from there, so maybe that's why waist length seems longer for me than it should. I've noticed people taller than me are saying waist-length is a shorter measurement on them. I think the widow's peak thing definitely has something to do with it, because I don't consider myself long-waisted.

Katlette
April 12th, 2014, 02:31 PM
I'm pretty much exactly at waist now, at 30 inches. I'm short (5'1") and my torso isn't disproportionately long, so that feels like quite a few inches to reach waist, based on other people's measurements. Maybe I have a low waist - or a big head. :p
