Thanks, Lilli, for the encouragement! My hair is actually almost 2" longer than collarbone in the front now when it's pulled straight. Grow hair GROW!

I vote that we add UBL to our hair length dictionary here! Hooray for Upper Back Length! :)

I tweaked ooo's translation of the German hair length list a little bit. Here is the link to the original German http://www.langhaarnetzwerk.de/phpBB...?t=200&start=0. Many thanks to Langhaarnetzwerk for having this list we can use, and thanks to ooo for her translation!

2.) "Spike head" (hair is standing up to 3 cm)
3.) Transition (hair starts to lay flat)

5.) Eyebrow length
6.) Eye length (middle of pupil if you look straight ahead)
7.) Lower edge of nose
8.) Earlobe length
9.) Chin length
10.) Nape length (in the middle of the nape)
11.) Shoulder length (when hair first touches the shoulder)
12.) Upper back length (between shoulder and APL)
13.) APL (with arms down: beginning of armpit crease)
14.) Middle of upper arm = about BSL

Agree! Then I can have a designated length! We should just change our profiles and wait for it to catch on.

I agree. :)

Those hair length descriptions are hilarious! My hair is exactly at shoulder now, at least the back of it is, front has a little ways to go to catch up, I'm rocking the growing-out-mullet, alas. I'm joining this thread! I'm a new member here, and excited about the journey.

I really like UBL! My hair feels longer instantly. :D
