I am now 44 years old and 5' 7" tall. My hair is 32" long (measuring from the top of my forehead where my bangs sprout, over the top of my head, and to the bottom in the back).

I have this silly goal in mind of having as many inches of hair as I have years of life. If hair grows an average of 6" per year, the soonest I can expect this to happen is when I am 47. I'm just curious what that might look like, if anyone here has such a length with a picture that shows it. Anyone?

Here's my hair as of March 2011: http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k222/Thanksgiving2003/DSCF4146.jpg

I don't do exact measurements all that often, but here's my hair at roughly 47 inches. I'm also 5' 7", so you should be pretty close to this length by then. There are more pictures of my hair in my album, if you're curious.

Your hair is absolutely lovely! It's really thick, and I love the color.

Assuming you are somewhat shorter than me, 47 inches should be something like my sig pic.

I'm just 5' 4" and my hair is 47.5" long on this picture (after seeing how bad my ends looked on this I trimmed an inch off :mad:).

OK, you are officially my hair idol! I love your hemline, color and texture of your hair! It look gorgeous now and will certainly look gorgeous at 47! :)

LOL, thanks! Your hair looks very similar to how mine looked a few years ago, except for different colour - same waves. My amazing long-haired hairdresser put a few layers into my hair and I'm comfortable with them. Any more and I don't think I'd like it coz I like to put it in two braids sometimes.

That was my hair back in 2005. I at bob length right now....I am hoping to be back to BSL in a year or so! I can only hope my hair looks like yours when it gets that long again!

I am not trying to be creepy or anything but I am 5'7 too and our body shape is very similar as well. I have a pair of jeans exactly like the ones you are wearing in that pic! :eek:

No creepiness taken. :)

Your hair looks to be in a lot better condition than mine was when mine was the length in the picture. Here's mine from 2003:

There was this annoying chunk missing in the back that would not grow in, for years. I explained the story in this thread: http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/showthread.php?t=67727

You are so pretty. Your hair is amazing and I think it'll look great when you get to that length!

Man, 47" of hair would be unbelievably long on me, lol. But I'm barely 5'1", so that would definitely explain it hehe. 36" would actually be about hip-length on me, I believe. (At least, in the back lol)

Wow! Your hair has really come a long way since the 2003 photos' The fullness and condition of it looks totally different compared to your older pics! Way to go! :cheese:

And you're right, your wave pattern looked similar to mine. Hopefully mine will look as good as yours does now when mine gets long again! :)

Your hair is soooooo gorgeous. Don't know much about what 47" looks like but just wanted to stop and tell you that :flower:

Here are my two from March of this year. The one with the purple shirt is from the beginning of that month, as I was just approaching 47", combed out somewhat, and the one with the black shirt is from the end of the month just past 47.5" and with braid waves.
