Of course we must have one of these polls. :p I see no one has started it yet, so I thought I'd post one so that we can get this topic discussed again. It was so fun last time. :)

What is your your ultimate hair goal, lengthwise? Mine would be classic. I have noticed I'm on the very tippy tip of TBL with a few of my longest hairs. So the next goal for me would conceivably be Classic Length. I expect to hit that sometime in late 2009. It's hard to believe that just a short year ago today, I was just past BSL and in a stall. Had I not run into LHC, I might have been stuck believing that I couldn't grow past that point.

My ultimate goal? Fingertip (50")! NO doubt in my mind! :D would be fabulous to have a classic length braid!
"Just" 13 inches to go.. hoping for the best! *fingers crossed*

My ultimate goal is 30" for now...time will tell.

I am going for terminal. I'd love to get to ankle length. But, I will be satisfied with knee. I don't know what that is in inches. I'm afraid if I measure I'll get discouraged.

My next mini goals are in my siggy.

mid-thigh which is about 48".....only 1 foot to go! lol

I don't really have a goal... I'd like to see at least classic, but we'll see what my hair and scalp are willing to do. :)

I'm shooting at least for classic. I have thoughts about seeing if it'll hit knee.. but one thing at a time! Just so long as it looks good :P

Tailbone, but I want blunt hemline most of all. So if I can't go any longer than waist without sacrificing the hemline, I'd rather stay at waist.

I am only aiming for hip length right now. But once I get there I may decide to keep growing.

I am going for terminal, which I hope is at least mid-thigh. If it's even longer, I'll take it! :D

My final goal is ankle, I hope I can make it that far

Tailbone for me most likely. I want a braid with a tassel on waist length. :)

Kirin
March 11th, 2008, 03:13 PM
I have a pretty conservative goal, of waist length. I think longer than that, it'd drive me crazy LOL. Right now i'm just passed shoulders, with layers, so, i've a long way to go.

My hair goal is knee length, a very medieval/Elvish look. I love long hair.

March 11th, 2008, 03:34 PM
I'd love it if it hit mid-calf, but it's okay if it stays at knee-length, too. I don't really have a set goal, part because I really don't know if my hair will get any longer than knee

CurlyNinja
March 11th, 2008, 03:37 PM
I'd like somewhere between waist and tailbone, curly. I also just really want a waist-length braid. Anything longer than tailbone I know is going to be way too much for me to handle.

Cichelle
March 11th, 2008, 03:53 PM
I'd really love my hair to be classic when it's wet or stretched out. That would be heavenly.

Ohio Sky
March 11th, 2008, 03:55 PM
I am going for tailbone but I may decide I dont have the patience before then, or I may get there and decide to keep going... Id like to see just how long I can grow my hair :)

GlassEyes

I want classic length hair with my curls.

It probably won't happen, but I can dream. xD

jojo
March 11th, 2008, 04:04 PM
i would love classic but would settle for waist or anything longer than the measly 22" i got now!

18" to grow for classic and 8" for waist dont sound too much if i say it fast!!!

DMARTINEZ
March 11th, 2008, 04:06 PM
I wish I knew....for now it just keeping growing. Maybe waist, but no longer than that.

My primary goal length is BSL, then waist, then hip. I do think I'll get stuck at BSL or between BSL & waist as my hair can be quite heavy. It's far too heavy at BSL without layers, so I don't know what it will be like longer than that, layered, but I'm giving it a go. If I don't like it however, I'll have it cut to a more manageable length, although I don't intend to ever have it cut much shorter than BSL again, so I'm keeping that as my primary goal length.

KittyCat

My goal is Bra-strap curly. My final goal would be midback to waist. I'm not sure how long my hair can grow, so this is kind of an experiment ;)

Remke
March 11th, 2008, 04:46 PM
Officially classic, but I'm thinking about letting it grow and see how far I get.

orbiting
March 11th, 2008, 05:03 PM
My ultimate length? Well right now the short term goal is BSL and I'm almost there.

After that, I've actually become interested in waist. I don't know if my hair will do it, but you never know!

Ultimately? I wouldn't want to go past hip. This is already a lot of work for me, but it's worth it.

artemis
March 11th, 2008, 05:05 PM
My goal isn't a length, it's an event. I'm growing out my hair until I have a baby. Since I'm not even pregnant, it might be a while ;)

zift
March 11th, 2008, 05:52 PM
My ultimate goal is ankle length but I don't have experience in longer than mid-thigh so can't know if it brings any disadvantages I cannot handle. And I may not be even able to grow there. Well at least knee or calf length would be fine.:)

Patchouli

I'm aiming for TBL curly, I think that is my terminal length. Any longer would be lovely :)

EbonyCurls
March 11th, 2008, 06:23 PM
waist-length with a \_/ shape that dips just below waist.

veganwitch
March 11th, 2008, 06:27 PM
My ultimate goal is classic -- curly if possible, but I'll settle for classic when wet and pulled straight.

Right now I'm at hip and thinking I want mid-thigh, possibly even knee. I don't know if I'll want to try going any longer than that, but it might be fun to see if I can, assuming I don't hit terminal length too before my shorter goals. Basically, I'll just grow it out until it seems like enough and maintain it there. :o

Harpo
March 11th, 2008, 06:59 PM
When I started thinking about a goal length last summer, I thought that classic would be long enough. But now that my hair is just reaching classic I want it to be longer, so my new goal is knee length.

Meli
March 11th, 2008, 07:15 PM
I'm going for terminal length. I thought I had reached it at just past TBL, but I have realized now that my breakage was far worse than I was aware about. Much of my taper seems to be caused by breakage and during my excessive S&D missions I have not seen any natural, uncut ends longer than between shoulder and APL... Below this length I have found only split and broken hairs. It is very likely that my hair was only stalling because of the breakage and I'm sure it can grow longer with proper care. The question is just how much - 1 inch, 1 foot or even longer? I really hope I'll reach at least classic before I hit my true terminal. It's only 5" more than I have had (crossing fingers)...

Stagecoach
March 11th, 2008, 07:32 PM
Well, for now my ultimate goal is Knee length, which will be around 60" for me.

Origionaly I was thinking I'd stop at Classic... but I got there and decided my hair wasn't yet long!!!

Sakura07
March 11th, 2008, 07:45 PM
I'm currently shooting for waist length which is about 30 inches or so. I figure that if i ever straighten it out it will be at least tailbone length.

But most importantly I just want healthy hair. Length will come after that.

spidermom
March 11th, 2008, 07:45 PM
I don't know if I can say "goal," but my wish is for classic length. It was the longest it had ever been until a few days ago when I cut off the worst of the splits and dried out, extremely tapered ends. I haven't reached tailbone yet, but I'm pretty sure that I can. I don't know if I can reach classic, but I'm going to keep right on caring for my hair and growing, so we'll see. If it gets to classic and is still growing, I'll probably let it.

DolphinPrincess
March 11th, 2008, 07:45 PM
I'd really like to get to TB or Classic, I don't see myself wanting it longer, but I guess my true ultimate goal would be to have a decent blunt hemline. We'll see if I make it that far though, my SO says he doesn't like really long hair... :(

wintersun99
March 11th, 2008, 08:03 PM
Reserving the right to change my mind when this goal is met ... my current goal is MBL which is about 27" on me (I'm 5'9")

redcelticcurls
March 11th, 2008, 11:08 PM
My goal is for my hair to be as long as it can be be while still looking like 3b hair. I plan on stopping once the curls start to go. Who knows where that will be.

I spent over three decades hating my curls, so I want to enjoy them for a bit. ;) :lol:

I have severe hair anorexia. I do not think my slightly-past-waist length hair is long, and I am planning on growing it to knee, but that's seeming less like long the closer I get to it...

I'm hoping to grow to terminal. I am hoping that's at least ankle length. I need to wear my hair up a lot more, the last two months have been stupid hectic and I have not taken care of my hair, and my renewed S&D's have shown just how much damage I've gotten...

The last two months of ignoring, daily washing, rough brushing, wearing down, etc gave me more damage on my tips than taking out my dreadlocks. No joke. :(

:rollin:
I was thinking the exact same thing as I was reading this thread! The uncanny resemblance between people's attitudes towards hair length goals on here, and people with AN's attitudes towards weight goals... Too funny.

Anywho, my ultimate goal would be tailbone. More realistically, I would probably maintain closer to hip... But tailbone is my maximum. I want to be able to wear it down and not sit on it.

savi
March 12th, 2008, 02:30 AM
At some point of my life I would like to grow to tailbone lenght. But the ultimate goal is healthy and full waist lenght, which wil take years knowing the abuse my main has been through. And If possible I wouldn't mind maintaining healthy hip lenght either.

Naluin
March 12th, 2008, 03:05 AM
My ultimate goal is waist when curly and dry. I may get there and want to go no further, or I may get there and want to try for knee. I don't think I'll reach waist for another 2 or 3 years, so I'll have plenty of time to think about whether or not I want to go further.

I am dreaming of classic long hair but I would already be happy with hiplength - but I hope for classic or even a classic long braid. Time will tell,

I've reached my goal tailbone and I think I'm staying here. I like the proportions of this length with my body and I like not having to worry about sitting on my hair.

Sarahmoon
March 12th, 2008, 03:59 AM
My goal is classic. After that I'll see what happens, probably trimming a bit to get a healthier looking hemline.
At this moment I'm affraid my hair would look like waist length again or shorter if I go to a hair dresses :?

Wildcate
March 12th, 2008, 04:11 AM
I'm in for terminal. Or floorlength, if terminal should turn out to be more than floor - because I think that this would be less easy to handle then...

Messyhair
March 12th, 2008, 04:17 AM
I think I'm just going to grow until I'm happy. I was aiming for waist, but now I don't know. I may stop before or after waist.

tiny_teesha
March 12th, 2008, 04:20 AM
I never want to be shorter then waist (again as i am only 2 cm (2 months) from it!)
I would like to grow to knees. And i have a feeling it won't look too good, as i am guessing terminal will be around classic ( my child braid tapers heaps and reaches TB on my now) with a few hairs growing longer, i don't know, there was a lot of splits in my childhood neglected hair.
So i would love to stay at TB it is a relatively easy and good length i think.
So long as it looks healthy it will be good :) HOPEFULLY knee!!

DarthCynthia

I'm currently at knee length (although I haven't measured for a couple months). My goal has been ankle length. I have no idea if I'll get there (I can't remember what the measurement was that I figured, but I'm just under 6 feet tall), but I have to say that I'm finally starting to feel happy with the length. If I can't get much longer than knee or calf, I'm pleased and would be happy to maintain and enjoy it at this length.

KnightsLady
March 12th, 2008, 04:50 AM
I was initially aiming for waist, but that was blown out of the water after seeing tailbone on others so often. Waist started to look a bit short. Tailbone would be better, I assured myself. But then tailbone might make my bottom look too big, perhaps classic would be best. but then knee length is rather beautiful too, and ankle looks like a waterfall and matches the body so well..... Undecided, I'm now close to giving up any particular goal and just letting it do whatever it wants. I'm sure I'll find out what length I prefer when I get there.

Alaia
March 12th, 2008, 06:20 AM
So far I'm going for TB. I'm having thoughts about Classic... and fingertip... but I don't want to get any longer than that because I think it would swamp the rest of me and I'd look like Cousin It (not in a good way). I think hair longer than that is stunning... on other people... I don't think it would suit me at all.

enfys
March 12th, 2008, 06:41 AM
I'm growing back out because my fiance loves long hair, and said he always wants to see it between bsl and waist, never shorter. He'd cry. And I just like playing with it. I doubt I will grow back to tailbone again as I always kept it tied up, so I think I will probably settle for a good long while at elbow with a u-shaped bottom (to my hair), possibly swinging a bit shorter in summer when I want curls.

Who knows? All I know is I don't want it shorter than it is, and I want to be able to plait it again. Thankfully it's not very thick and it doesn't like to taper even when it gets long. Or break. Maybe waist won't do it justice. Argh. :confused:

The only thing I know how to do is to keep on keeping on...

Well put MadPriateBippy! When I wear my hair down I find myself thinking "It's not THAT long after all, guess I'll grow to ---- "!!!

March 12th, 2008, 09:26 AM
I want hip or tailbone when dry and curly. So... classic or longer when wet. Sadly it's going to be quite a few years before that will happen. Seems to start splitting at just past APL wet with all the damage. So I need to eliminate the damage (major chop or maintaining where I am or a bit longer if it will let me for a couple years) before I can even think about the dream hair. **returns to drooling all over pictures of Sarah Brightman**

It's funny--My hair is much shorter than yours, but I have the opposite reaction when I see it from the back. I always think of it as waist length.

Maybe that's why I'm maintaining where I am, though I'd like the ends to grow out thicker.

March 12th, 2008, 10:23 AM
Ankle. I'm crazy but I think it would be neat. But a more realistic ultimate goal for me is knee length which would be 52". And that will take another 2 -2.5 years.

Bahaha. If my DBF had his way ankle would be my goal length too. And curly at that. So I'd have something like ten feet of hair and he would love it and help me wash it. :rolleyes: lol Personally, I want it as long as I can still handle it without sitting on it when it's dry and curly. ;)

I'm undecided. My goal is tailbone, but I'm seriously considering classic.

Isilya
March 12th, 2008, 11:11 AM
At first I wanted it around BSL. When I got there, it didn't feel as long as I thought it would, so I decided to grow to waist length. Then I discovered this site :) and planned to grow my hair to my hips. Only to conclude that, if I would reach hip length, I could grow to TBL as well because it's only a few inches more. So TBL it is :).

DesM
March 12th, 2008, 11:36 AM
Ultimate goal - I don't actually know!
I do have 'milestones' that I hope to reach as my hair grows longer.
I'm at waist length but with fairytale ends, so looks a bit shorter, boohoo!
I was hoping for classic by the end of this year, but I now know I won't reach that, but that will be my next 'milestone'.
Mid thigh, knee, etc are other 'milestones' for me.

Rzilynt
March 12th, 2008, 12:09 PM
I love long hair.
But I guess my personal goal is not so long. I am hoping to be be hip length by the end of the year.
Tailbone would be pushing it for me.(may try for later) I am not cautious enough when I wear my hair out. I am forever getting it caught in something. I wear my hair up most of the time at work so when I wear it out, I underestimate the length when I am doing things. :o

Anje
March 12th, 2008, 12:10 PM
Not sure. If I can get it to knee length, keep it in good condition, and reasonably thick, it'd be awesome. But I want it thick to the ends and easy to take care of, first.

SarieQ
March 12th, 2008, 12:14 PM
I am going for TB! My goal is to be waist length by Dec 2008, and at my goal length by late 2009. Let it grow, let it grow, let it grow!!!!!!!!!!!

homeschoolmama
March 12th, 2008, 12:15 PM
I take my milestones in steps... and as I reach a new milestone, I consider a longer "goal length."

For right now, my next milestone is classic length and I am considering knee-length to be a good goal to reach. Once I reach classic length, I may consider terminal-length. Then again, I might not... I'm reserving the freedom to change my mind at this point ;)
love,
mom

Garnet66
March 12th, 2008, 12:41 PM
My first immediate goal is shoulder length then of course bsl. Then when I get there I'll decide if I want to go for waist. I wouldn't want anything longer than that. I'm not talented enough to take care of super long hair.

Unnamed
March 12th, 2008, 12:45 PM
Well, as for an ultimate length 'goal', the plan has been grow to terminal length with no more brush-damage left! Which will take...a while.

My 'old' hope-to-get-to length was mid-thigh. Now that hair is inching past it, my 'new' would-love-to-reach length is calf-length, which is roughly 60" or so (although I have no idea if hair'll get there).

Next 'big' length is knee, in another 5-7" or so, which I'm pretty sure is attainable before or at terminal.

jel
March 12th, 2008, 12:53 PM
When I first joind the 'old' LHC, the longest layer of my hair was barely past shoulder. I thought I would be happy to have hair in between BSL and waist, and as the ultimate, dream goal, I set tailbone, not believing that my hair would actually get there.

Now that I am at waist, tailbone doesn't seem that far away... :D

Xan
March 12th, 2008, 02:58 PM
as long as it will get hopefully ankle length that would be awesome.

March 12th, 2008, 04:09 PM
My ultimate length goal is terminal. It's a long way off, since it's somewhere south of my knees and I'm only at the "Between APL: & BSL Abyss" (Would that be appropriately referred to as "BABA???"

Rosa.Damascena
March 12th, 2008, 04:22 PM

carloota
March 12th, 2008, 10:40 PM
First off let me say to Rosa.Damascena - beautiful name to match that very beautiful hair. Second, I would love to have knee length hair. Anything longer than that I fear would be too unmanageable for me, IMHO.

fae
March 12th, 2008, 11:29 PM
I had classic in mind. But now I am thinking fingertip would be good. As long as it is healthy and I can manage it, I might grow to terminal.

Altocumulus
March 13th, 2008, 08:26 AM
At least classic. After that, who knows? I'm tempted to see how long it will get...

honeybunch
March 13th, 2008, 10:15 PM
My ultimate goal is knee length stretched. I guess it will take me maybe like 4 more years to achieve.

I would like to see myself with classic, but hip length is fine for me. Its very flattering. I wish my hair was that long now. Oh those days! lol

March 13th, 2008, 11:39 PM
My ultimate goal WAS 50 inches by the time I'm 40, but I'm at 46 inches now. So I think my new ultimate goal will be knee length. And, of course, the floor's the limit after that! LOL! This is the longest my hair has ever been and I never thought it would get to this point. It is thanks to this site and the Long Hair Loom that I've gotten here! And I'm truly enjoying the journey to long hair! (Of course, in the AN tradition, I don't think it's THAT long yet!)

Mine has to be the classic 'classic'. Have just reached BSL last month and hit a major stall, well actually I crawled to BSL, so I don't know, what's even slower than crawled? Its going to be a mighty long wait to classic for me.

shrimp
March 14th, 2008, 05:22 AM
My ultimate goal was classic, now I'm closing in on that I have no plans on stopping anytime soon. My major quandry is whether to pause for a while at classic (why do I still feel like I might not make it?! :silly: Am a hare's breath away!) to get the ends a bit bulkier or to carry on with much smaller trims. I like the idea of mid thigh at the moment, but as it's not necessarily achievable I'll just stick with letting it do it's own thing for a while I think.

I would love knee (or perhaps longer) with fairytale ends, but for the moment I am shooting for classic.

Hairytale

I am not quite sure yet. At first, I'm heading towards BSL, then waist and then perhaps classic? I'd love to have floor length hair, but I doubt I'll reach that.

Pixel Gypsy
March 14th, 2008, 07:11 AM
I'm aiming for hip length and being that my hair is at my shoulders now (about 21 1/8" currently), that's a pretty tall order. I tend to have a cutting obsession when I get bored with my hair, but I've seen so many lovely updos on people around here that require a LOT of length I think I may be able to reach this length while minimizing the urge to chop to curb my boredom. Right now I'm just craving enough length to do a semi-intricate style.

Poolsoflaughter
March 14th, 2008, 07:53 AM
I originally wanted waist length, because I knew that it would be manageable, but now, I want knee length or even longer! I guess I just have to take one milestone at a time so that I don't get too impatient!;)

My husband already does that:D

Hmmmm my ultimate, way far out there goal is blunt terminal;) Yeah, yeah - I'm sure that doesn't exist. I'm wanting as long as my hair will grow trimmed regularly. I'm just curious to see what that will be.

psychosister
March 14th, 2008, 01:29 PM
I'd like to be able to feel mine touching my butt cheeks - maybe that is tail bone length! I'll go with that one. I have been at BSL an awful long time now, though. I am hoping it isnt my terminal length.

harpgal
March 14th, 2008, 02:16 PM
I really do not have any goals other than trying to keep a somewhat full hemline. Right now I am an inch from mid thigh. Knee would be cool but it is not a "have to".

prosperina
March 14th, 2008, 02:43 PM
Hip! Although I'll just be happy if it gets to waist. Hell, I'll be overjoyed if it gets to 27 inches by the end of this summer.

Id like to see classic, but only if my ends stay in the shape they in now.. I might even try fingertip/midthigh, that would be my ultimate goal, but I doubt it will ever get there.

I think my ultimate goal would be waist length. I think that's about 30 inches.

I want to be at LEAST at waist curly which will be about 37 inches as far as I can tell (eight more inches as I am long waisted). I don't think my hair will grow much more than that with my chemical color and still look good but I will see. I guess when I get there I will reevaluate. It may be too much for me personally to handle any longer than that too.

For my own hair, I have no specific length goal other than
not what it is at the moment. I can't wait to have my length
back, but will settle for tailbone. Guess I'll have to, LOL.
But for numbers sake on this thread, we'll say 48-54".

With regard to extreme lengths, I loved calf, but being the picky
hen about horizontal volume, I felt my hair was at it's best
thickness to the ends around knee, a little less, a little more depending
on the season. As I am 5' 7", that works out to a nice length. It is
not the numbers I am concerned about, but rather the quality of
what I do have.

Yeah, yeah, KM and that "Quality before quantity" stuff again. :rolleyes::D

Also taking into consideration that I am getting older (not old) I may
and likely will experience changes in my body. If I happen upon a stage
which deprives my hair of the condition I demand, I will pull the plug
on growing and simply maintain at the best level.

Not to be confused with reducing length out of confusion. ;)

I want mine at about 34" which is just about tail bone for me. Any longer than that and I think it would start detracting from my hip movements in dance. Right now it's at about 28 inches.

Jason
March 15th, 2008, 07:51 PM
LOL - mine keeps getting longer. I'm shooting for classic just to say I got there but I'll only keep going if I can maintain a reasonably thick hemline.

Keiera
March 15th, 2008, 08:28 PM
I just want a braid where the end of the tassel hits classic. Right now, the tassel just touches my waist when braided (my hair hits my tailbone when it's down), and the braided part is just over bsl. I love the look of long braids, and mine has just started to move and sway while I walk and move around instead of just laying there stiff like it did when it was shorter. It's hard to describe, but all I want is a long braid that moves with me. :)

I haven't decided yet. My first goal was waist. I reached that and then decided to forge ahead to hip length. I am there and inching my way toward TB now. My short term goal is TB when dry.

I'll see what happens as I grow. I may cut back to waist when I finish chemo. My hair is dry and the ends are frail and thin now. I don't know. I guess I'll see when it happens!

LHC helped me get past the beauty salon fixation.

My hair is now at APL and all my silvers are showing. Also now, it has a blunt hemline. I just feel so good about my hair. I want to grow out the dyed part of my hair and trim it off. My goal is BSL with uncolored hair. Maybe waist length after that

I've been to TB in the past and it was just too long for me to handle it well. High-hip is my current goal, which I should hopefully get to by Autumn. I hope, hope, hope. Maybe if I pause there for a while and let the ends thicken up by trimming I'll feel like it looks nice enough to go to TB. That would be my longest.

ChloeDharma
March 16th, 2008, 12:47 AM
Long term i'm aiming at terminal which i hope is classic or longer. I'm at about hiplength now which i might maintain at to trim damage for a while before putting the scissors into permanent retirement.

Bahaha. If my DBF had his way ankle would be my goal length too. ;)

I'm in this camp too! The sky is the limit (or the floor perhaps) from my DH's point of view. But its MY hair and MY goal length is to grow it properly long - i.e. past shoulder length without layers. Then I'll see how I feel.

Mind you, LHC is doing a good propaganda job on me

WavyGirl
March 16th, 2008, 03:45 AM
Well before I found this site I always though waist was long and wished it was possible for me but really believed that you needed special genes to get there. Then I found LHC and realised that with an improvement in care I might just make it there. So that went in as my goal.

However, since then I've spent a lot of time here and realised that although waist looks good on a lot of people I don't think it will be the best length on me. I'd actually prefer TB or longer. I think, if I'm honest with myself that or classic will probably be the best length for me (if I can get there).

Yet, I love to see the long hair lengths past that so after years of consideration on this point I've decided to grow to terminal at least once in my life. I'll take regular length shots and when I hit it I'll trim back to the length I felt best in. I know I won't be able to stay at terminal for long because I get irritated with my ends now and would need to see a regular hemline even if it isn't quite as thick as I'd llike. I do know that I'll never willingly trim above waist when I get there. To me that's where long really starts.

I am going for hip, but I might end up at waist because my hair's thick and sometimes feels like it's taking over my head, so I might decide once I get to waist that it's plenty.

Of course we must have one of these polls. :p I see no one has started it yet, so I thought I'd post one so that we can get this topic discussed again. It was so fun last time. :)

What is your your ultimate hair goal, lengthwise? Mine would be classic. I have noticed I'm on the very tippy tip of TBL with a few of my longest hairs. So the next goal for me would conceivably be Classic Length. I expect to hit that sometime in late 2009. It's hard to believe that just a short year ago today, I was just past BSL and in a stall. Had I not run into LHC, I might have been stuck believing that I couldn't grow past that point.

I want to get my hair to at least classic.
My ultimate goal is terminal length.
I really want to know where that will be for me.
I'm expecting a LOT of stalling periods.
I'll have to take :knit: back up, so I will stop playing with my hair. :p

EdG

My ultimate goal is tailbone, which I already reached, with a few strands. :D I'd like it to be a blunt cut at that length, though. So I'd need to at least grow a few more inches before I can chop.

Dianyla
March 18th, 2008, 01:19 AM

My goal was tailbone, and now I'm there (with the tip of my V-shaped hemline). I just had a trim and I'm not programming another in the next year or so...we'll see what happens, no goal for now, just to add some length (even if my wife is seriusly frowning about it, hmmm...)

Im making TBL (40") my tentative goal. I have it my head that it will take me forever to get there, but when and if I do I may decide to keep growing, or I may just be too lazy to trim to maintain that length. I do want a full hemline though, so I may not be able to go that long.

Oh it can definitely be achieved sweetie. Hair grows more inches in a year than a girl's body gains in inches, growth spurt or not. I just wish I had an extra dose of some of that growth juice some of you pre-teens have so much of, I would sprinkle it all over my eyelashes, chest, and some of these uneven baby hairs of mine...my MN treatments took care of the rest. :D

I would love to get to hip/tailbone. Then from there on I'll figure out where I want to go. I will either stick with that for a while and trim it to keep it at that length or let it grow...or chop it off to chin length again which is where I started. :)

But for the time being my ultimate goal is hip/tailbone.

my original goal was waist, then TB then classic. LOL This place resets our perception of long. I want it to look healthy, so preferably not too close to terminal (which i feel is near classic)
TB would be awesome, but i want to definately see knee before i die sometime! And cut back if i have to.

March 19th, 2008, 01:41 AM
Mine is listed as BSL in my profile, but I would say that my *ultimate* goal is to get to waist length. I'm determined to finally do it after 3 years of growing, getting frustrated and chopping.

Who knows what my goal will be once I hit waist...

I don't really know now. Sometimes I play with the idea of growing to terminal, but at the same time I find that my current length is more than enough. I will grow to knee length, then I have to see how that works out. I might cut back to just past classic, that was a good length. :)

My next mini-goal is classic. I don't know for sure when it will be long enough...my hair still doesn't feel all that long to me. I originally was going for knee-length, but I'm not sure if I will be able to get that far. I think as far as my hair will go while still being able to have a relatively tidy hemline is my target length.

rubyredslippers
March 21st, 2008, 04:23 AM
I want 'small-of-my-back-length.' I recognise this isn't a standard goal--I guess it's about 'hips', technically, but not quite the same. But I'm a ways off yet! And I'll be sure to enjoy all the lengths that are in-between.

Melein
March 21st, 2008, 05:49 AM
Tailbone - I think. I'll see when I get there. When I first started growing my hair such a goal seemed impossibly long but given that I don't think of my hair as particularly long at present maybe I won't stop there.

I want looooong hair. Right now, I'm going to grow it until terminal, whatever that is for me. Once it stops growing, I'll cut back to a hemline I'm happy with and stay there. I probably wouldn't want it past ankle unless it was still healthy and thick.
Maybe knee-length when dry and wavy as my goal :)

I just remembered that my goal actually is to have two braids that reach my knees. If that's too hard to care for, I may trim back shorter. If not (and the hemline isn't see-through) I may explore growing longer. I do know I won't ever want hair shorter than it is now.

It is interesting how perceptions change over time. I always fall into defining whatever I currently am as normal. (Hair related or not, ha!) Anyways, after one has worn a specific length for a while it feels completely normal and then one starts looking further down for the next length milestone. :wannabe:

Red Jezebel

March 23rd, 2008, 10:40 AM
My goal is tailbone, but I'm going to try to grow it out to classic when curly and dry. I'll take lots and lots of pictures and then get sick of it and cut it back to tailbone. This is the plan. I love the idea of having hair long enough to sit on, it's like the definition of long hair in my mind, but my favorite hair length is actually tailbone, so I've made a compromise.

truepeacenik
March 26th, 2008, 09:52 PM
I'm aiming for terminal, just to see what that IS!

I think once that curiosity was satisfied for a while, I'd trim back to somewhere in the calf to high ankle area (six to eight inches off the ground), simply because I can visualize caring for that without help.

Should that area not be my fate, I'd settle for fingertip to knee. Grouchily.

Stagecoach
March 27th, 2008, 08:54 AM
Well for right now, I'm aiming for knee length. And I honestly don't anticipate wanting to go much further.

For several reasons, the leading two being

1. I want to still be able to wear my hair down for events, and I don't see that being too realistic if I have hair much longer than knee... especialy since most events I'm at are with some of my family, and we have many littles ones around all the time, so hair longer than that would just be impossible to handle when down.

2. I remember on the old boards, Hairstorm kept chart of how her length and thickness compared... and the longer she got, the thinner her hair got... and I dont' want that to happen to me!! My hair is thin enough for me.

You are at 54 inches now? tThat is over 5 FEET, I am sooooo envious:)

I really love the length I am at now and would just want it a bit thicker and healthier at the ends....
However in a few years when my hair is finally all virgin and thickened up I could quite fancy going for knee length.

Knee length is very very special I don't think I could handle it at all right now and my hair is just not in a great condition to even attempt any extra length. So it's a distant maybe.

Mine is tailbone. I think that will still be managable and that it will look good on me. Only time can tell if I get there though, and if so I choose to stay there.

2. I remember on the old boards, Hairstorm kept chart of how her length and thickness compared... and the longer she got, the thinner her hair got... and I dont' want that to happen to me!! My hair is thin enough for me.

I just wanted to add a clarification on this.

My diminishing of my hair circumference at nape level was due to aging/hormones/health issues, not growing longer. (My nape circumference was 5 1/2 inches in my teens; it is currently 4 inches.)

If you are referring to natural taper, leading to fairytale ends, that is natural and normal as one approaches terminal length.

I didn't want anyone to think that growing hair longer leads to hair loss! :flowers:

If anyone has questions please feel free to ask!

Right now, my longest hairs are somewhere between waist and hip, but I'm going for tailbone. When I've reached it (I think by the end of this year, HOPEFULLY, I'm going for non-layerd hair, which will take a while

My final goal is classic when curly. Right now it's tailbone length when pulled straight.

Right now my goal is tailbone. I am there currently, so I'm trying to reduce and eventually minimize split ends in order to build up thickness at that length. If I'm able to control the splits, I'll probably go for classic length. I don't think that I'll want my hair too much longer than classic.

I would be really happy with waist. I'll see how I feel once I reach that goal.

Right now, I'd like it to get to my waist, then if it will go to my hip or tailbone and still look ok, that would be fantastic.

Originally my goal was mbl, but when I reached that I wanted it to be waist, and now that I've reached that I want to hit hip. Who knows if I'll keep wanting to grow after hip! :D It's like a growing addiction!

My original goal is a tailbone length braid, which is about 38 inches of hair. After that, I will probably keep going because I'm not sure I like the idea of trimming off all my growth to 'maintain' a length. I'm so used to growing it out now. Maybe terminal? I'm curious what that length would be on me.

Right now, I'm between waist and hip. I think I would let it get to the point where I'm almost sitting on it but once it gets past there, I'll be maintaining it there, more than likely. I used to sit on it all the time as a kid and I don't think it's for me. So maybe another 5-6 inches for me.

My goal is for my hair to look healthy and still grow as long as it wants. As soon as it starts to look ratty, it gets a little trim with TLC.

I think my goal is BSL curly, maybe waist. Only time will tell!

Loviatar

My ultimate goal I suppose is knee length, 60 inches, but I will be satisfied with waist-length if I can have a blunt hemline.

Fairytale ends look weird on me :(

I think I would not be able to take care of my hair properly if it were longer than knee length. Maybe even longer than tailbone.

I'll see what happens!

blunt waist length.

misspriss

My ultimate goal is classic, but my goal for as far as I can see (my 5 year plan, yes business student) is blunt waist (curly, not straightened). My short term goal is blunt BSL (curly).

It may not seem like much but at this point i'd be happy if I could just get my hair to grow down to my bottom ribs. I don't think I could upkeep waist-length hair or anything like that, so down to the ribs for me would be perfect =) I've never had hair that long so i'm very excited to go that far someday soon!

I don't really have a goal, I want to grow it until it's to hard for me to manage.

I think my ultimate goal is tailbone.

I anticipate reaching waist by the end of '08 and I plan to maintain that length for a year, to thicken up the hemline. (I will be recovering from of the Huge Shed of '06 for a while!) After that, I may give tailbone a shot.

But honestly, I'll be happy with waist. Anything more feels like a bonus. And beyond tailbone I think would be too much work to deal with...I'm simply too lazy.

Saranne772

I'm looking at just below knee which is approx 50 inches. So I have 12 inches to go. If I keep up my 1 inch a month growth rate then hopefully I will be there in a year. But I will call it 18 months to be sure. (pretty please!!!)

Depending on my circumstances I might carry on from there. I would love floorlength hair but I just do not think it would be practicable!! Especially when working with children ;)

I am not yet back to what I was in August when I chopped off about 6 inches :( I was at Classic (just)

My first minigoal is waist. After that I think I'll crave for TBL. :)

redhead_rachel
April 26th, 2008, 04:37 AM
belt length. which is about 37 inches on me.

origionally I only wanted 32-33 inches as my final length, as I didn't think I would be able to take care of anything longer. But, as it gets longer, you realise it aint as hard to care for as you thought, and as it gets longer, he longer you want it; so who knows?!
but at the moment 36-37 inches would be nice :)

When I get to 36, I think I will mainain that length and work on thickening and evening up my hair esp. my hemline, before growing again.

I have changed my hair length goal to tailbone.

MsBubbles
April 30th, 2008, 03:27 PM
I'd be ecstatic with bottom of ribs length. I don't think my thin hair will grow any longer than that, and I have a really long neck. I'd just like to be able to see it from the front if I life my arms away from my body, and when I turn sideways I want it to be long enough to be hanging away from my back, where my back starts to curve in again, if that makes sense. That's all I want! I have never achieved that in my life but I didn't know a thing about hair care before now, either. I'd like it straight across but if it ever gets that long I'll be happy with any shape.

Saoirse
April 30th, 2008, 04:08 PM
It's knee length for me, which is probably another four to six inches away.

For me, my first goal is waist. But when I get there I have a feeling my 'ultimate' goal will be longer. :D

Tangles
April 30th, 2008, 04:53 PM
My ultimate goal is waist, and no longer than waist. The reason being that I don't think I have the time or patience to care for longer hair, and I also really want to be able to wear my hair down about half the time. I'm one of those "why grow hair if you're going to wear it up all the time" people. :P I simply like the idea of being able to hide behind my hair if I feel like it. Also, I have a tiny face, and having waist length hair is already going to make it look even smaller--tailbone just wouldn't look right on me.

My goal now is 85 centimeters (a bit more than 33 inches). It's a bit more than just hiplength for me. Maybe I'll go tailbone, but definitely not longer than that.

I'm trying to get to at least Classic but if possible i'd like to have mid-tigh length hair. which on me is about 45 inches long. so far the longest i'd grown my hair is classic three times in my life. hoping to make it longer this time.

nappywomyn
May 14th, 2008, 01:38 PM
Terminal is still my goal. I'm hoping that's at least tailbone, but we shall see. I plan on growing it as long as it will grow, and then cutting it back to a length I'll be content with....

Jaime
May 14th, 2008, 02:22 PM
Ultimate length goal is undefined, but current goal is belt length, which is about 36" on me. I think that length will be the longest I can manage reasonably (not sitting on it, etc). However, I also think that as my hair continues to get longer, my ultimate goal, like the mirage on the highway on a hot day, will continue to move just beyond my reach - about 12" beyond whatever my current length! :lol:

Well, it was waist, but now I'm gonna modify it to waistlength braid, or maybe to have the shortest layers (about APL now) hit waist.

At the moment my ultimate goal is tailbone length, maybe I´ll change my mind when I´m there, but I don´t think i could manage longer hair than tbl.

My first goal is tailbone. Once I get there, I might go for classic. I joined TLHC about a month ago, and have been obsessing a little too much (feeling inadequate in the company of all these long haired lovelies), so now I'm going for benign neglect. I'm planning to wear my hair up the rest of the week and not wash it until Saturday. :bottomsup:

Mine was firstly waist, but I've just reached that goal (30"). When I joined TLHC, my goal was TB, but I'm not sure anymore. If my hair keeps growing and looks good, I think that classic.

June 16th, 2008, 07:43 AM
I didn't really have goal at first, but when joining it's asked, so I put 1 meter, just because it's a nice round number.

What I would really like is for my braid (without the unbraided bit on the end) to reach to at least waist. Now it's about BSL and my hair (when loose) is just past waist (I have some leftover layers so I can't braid upto the end).

Honestly?
32". Just past waist.
My favorite length.
I don't see myself desiring extreme lengths, yet this length is long enough to be a "WOW" yet short enough to not to be asked "are you in some religion where you never cut your hair?"
I'd never ask people that, nor do I think it, but some people are thick.
Yeah. It would be an amazing length.
And the longest I'm willing to get, FOR SURE.

Healthy BSL is a lofty goal for me. But if I can maintain that with my hair (and so far it seems like I'll be able to), I think I'd like to eventually maintain MBL. Seems so short for this community, but it's super long for those in my family. Heck even BSL seems long!
