The Growing to Floor Length Club

[Shorty89]

that would have been Lady Godiva for sure, although there may have been others. she had very fine tangly hair, but she took such good care of it, and it was relatively full....as fine does not equal not full...just the individual hair quality, no matter how much of it there is. She hasn't been around in a while, but there should be pictures here and there from a while ago.

O.R.

Ashke50 also has fine hair and is at floor!

I wish Lady Godiva was still around more. She had gorgeous hair for sure. I'm jealous of all those with fine hair and no taper. I always have more taper at TB than people like Godiva and Ashley have at floor.

What an interesting thread, and even more interesting, Bat started it
So I was googling "floor length hair" to see what Google thinks of it (to compare it with LHC) and I have not found much - but this thread popped up there, among pretty scarce results otherwise. And I found out that a lady in my country apparently had her hair recorded in a national Guinness record book (not the world, just national) with 170 cm hair, and I was like *challenge accepted, move aside girrrl* (just joking of course).

What is your Starting Length in Inches/Centimeters?
Around 80+ cm now.
What body marker are you at?
Beyond hip length.
How Many Inches/Centimeters is floor on you?
Assuming it is measured from hairline, it´s about 195 cm or more.
If you know your growth rate, how many years do you think it will take to reach floor?
My rate is 1,5 cm a month, so let´s see: (195-80) : 1,5 : 12 = 6 years 4 months 16 days from now.
Will you be Trimming or not Trimming?
Mostly not trimming.
What made you decide to grow to Floor?
I haven´t decided to grow to the floor. I am growing as long as it will go and as long as it keeps me happy. But floor is very special, and to dream of it is nice. I am in awe of every member of LHC who reached it.

Probably the reason why is that is not very popular. Many fewer than 1 in a million reach it.

i just never wanted to have a haircut ever

What is your Starting Length in Inches/Centimeters?
18 inches/~46cm

What body marker are you at?
Between shoulder and APL

How Many Inches/Centimeters is floor on you?
66 inches/~168cm

If you know your growth rate how many years do you think it will take to reach floor?
Oh my lord, I grow maybe 0.5-0.75 inches a month. 66-18 inches = 48 more inches to go from when I started (a little less now that I've been growing for several months now). 12 months x 0.625 inches (average growth) = 7.5 inches in a year

(x years/48 inches) = (1 year/7.5 inches)
x years = (1 year/7.5 inches) x 48 inches
x years = 0.133 year x 48
x years = 6.4 years

so if I keep at it and don't cut the bottom of my mullet off, I'll get to floor in 6.4 years.. maybe even 7-8 years cause my hair is curly and I was being somewhat generous with the growth average. If that is the case, I'll possibly reach floor in 2030?

48in / 6in per year = 8 years

Will you be Trimming or not Trimming?
I'll probably just trim my bangs for now, but I don't plan to trim anything else. just S&D

What made you decide to grow to Floor?
I have always loved long hair but my mental health wasn't stable enough to maintain longer hair so I kept cutting. Now that I have some stability, I want to see how far I can grow! I thing long floor length hair is gorgeous on others and I hope that I enjoy my curls just as long too! I'm definitely going to go terminal and see if I actually can reach floor and beyond length.

What is your Starting Length in Inches/Centimetres?
Here on LHC, I first measured from my scalp to end at 92cm last August. But I stopped trimming before the pandemic after a blunt cut at APL/BSL.

What body marker are you at
Fingertip

How Many Inches/Centimetres is floor on you
170cm maybe

If you know your growth rate how many years do you think it will take to reach floor?
I grew 15cm over the past year, that’s 1.25cm per month, I’m now at 106-7cm, so it will take me another 51 months, and that is 4.2 years.

Will you be Trimming or not Trimming?
I am a no-trimmer, but I might maintain my hemline at knee for a thicker, even line for a while before I go on.

What made you decide to grow to Floor?
I want to test my gene limits to see where my terminal length is at, probably pass the floor.

Another thread I made that I forgot about haha

I'm not really actively growing to floor now but I am giving up scissors so if I get to floor length so be it!

Ooooh a science paper about hair! That has just made my day and reading it will fill my evening.

Thank you for starting it, Bat. And toss those scissors to the trash already

Mine cost too much to throw away I figuratively locked them away same with my clippers!
As long as I stay away from hairdressers I got this
