I went and look at this new member's profile and she lists 60 inches as her length and type 1a as her hair type. I am five foot six tall and floor length on me would be in the 70s. For one this person is probably less than five feet tall. There are other members here with 60 inch length but are taller than this person. If 60 inches is floor length with 1a hair and she is very short in height then I say it is very probable this person has floor length hair. Don't be so quick to dismiss if you have not looked at profile. We don't know one way or other until she can post pictures.
Thank you for doing the research. I was not meaning to dimiss her claim as a falsehood. I'm just a very skeptical person. 60" is exactly five feet tall, and I know quite a few women who are just barely that tall. It is most definitely possible, and I look forward to seeing pictures if she ever wishes to post some.
If she was using LHC method by starting her measurement of her hair length at front of scalp, she is clearly four feet and some inches with her physical height. That is how I surmised she is a very short person. Because she is 1a she gets to keep all her hair length. Her hair has little bind in it if any at all. 60 inches was her hair length in her profile not her height.
This was the one I was trying to think of. She sounds foreign and I wasn't sure exactly what she was trying to say exactly, but she wrote a post that said she has no photos or can't post photos or something. I see there is some skepticism about her claims from reading the last few posts on this thread. I guess we have to wait to see if she can post pictures ever to tell if her hair is just exactly floor length, or if she is ankle length or gasp! she's on this board and isn't a long hair!! but just pretending. (But I don't see what the point of that would be).
I still can't think of the name of the lady who posted the amazing photos in the bun vs. length thread. It was something like Southern Belle or something that implied southernness. There was also a another one who directed me once to her photos from a long hair meet, but of course I can't remember where that meet or what her name was, either...
Ah, the elusive floorlengths.
Sorry to hear JJJ got a haircut but I'm not the one who has to take care of her hair. Or go around with it. I understand this Xie Qiuping world record holder with the 18 foot long hair (the last 3 or 4 feet are very tapered but still..)Anyway, she goes around now with a woman with a basket following her, holding the hair in a basket. Doesn't sound like the most convenient way to live. And what a job! 'Official hair carrier.."
I guess at some point updoes stopped working for her.
Proud to be a tightly curly!

beyond words..
just wow!
Maybe she want s to make jewelry from it like the Victorians did. I still have my hair when I had it cut before it it started falling out when I went through chemo. I have thought about figuring out how to use it to create a picture from it.
Congratulations!
