What is the maximum length of hair you think you could handle?

I have no desire to grow my hair past waist length. I'm currently APL with 3b/3c hair. Its hard to manage as it is. When/if it gets waiste length I probably won't wash it as often as I do now, and I'll probably wear a lot of protective styles.

Knee length! Though my choice is mainly aesthetic -- one day I might attempt to reach terminal length and find that my hair not only grows longer than knee, but that I like it.

My current goal is classic. I had some pretty phenomenal waist length hair when I was a teenager and it was easy to handle... in fact, I have no idea why I cut my hair. Probably just bored. <smh> Kids.

I think knee length would be the longest I could handle.

I’m aiming for terminal so hopefully my hair will be longer than floor.
I’d be very happy to be knee length though, and I might maintain it there for a while to thicken the hemline, probably.

I've had my hair to tailbone, and that was fine. I think the longest I could get before my hair really became a problem would be knee, tho I doubt that my hair will get there!!
Classic would be really nice

The maximum would be the length that it becomes too long to reach the ends by grabbing and pulling across. So the furthest down I could hold my hair (FTL 49") + my wingspan (about 65"): 114" (42" past floor, where I am now). When I could no longer physically detangle it in one motion.

I have no plans to grow beyond floor at all, and my terminal would come way before that point, but it's fun to think about

I got to FTL in the past, and I really did enjoy that length. I don't know if I'd do it again because I'm not sure what the "end goal" is this time, we'll see if LHC's influence gets me again

TBL, which I'm very close to. I'm swiftly approaching my maximum threshold for all the care that goes into my hair, sigh. In a perfect world, I'd actually love FTL hair! But there's no way I could manage that with my lifestyle.

For me it is absolutely Butt length, I was once there, but now I am at BSL.

My current goal is KL but I can picture myself with calf. I like to occasionally wear my hair loose and wouldn't feel comfortable doing that if it was longer than calf length. I also wonder how aging might affect what I can handle. Arthritis in hands and/or shoulders would probably change this because it would affect my ability to bun/braid/wash/brush.
