What's your favourite length before waist?

I've got a long way to go before my hair is considered "long", so I want to know what milestones you favoured on your way down your back!
If your hair has been longer than waist so long you don't remember what it's like, or really just HATE anything shorter than what you have now, what shorter lengths do you find flattering on other people?

From what I've read around the site, It seems a lot of people are really into BSL and cut back to that after growing to extreme lengths. What is it that makes BSL special?

I personally really enjoyed APL when I was there, and that's the longest my hair's been since I cut back from somewhere between waist and hip at the end of 5th grade.
At APL I can bun it, braid it, and wear it down without any issues. Of course, I don't have super thick hair, which makes buns and braids easier at shorter lengths.
My hair is the longest it's been in over 2 years right now, chin is a very flattering length on me so I've been quite enjoying that as well.
I also loved having a buzz cut, it feels really good. But I like the way I look better when I have hair, so here I am

I really like chin length, or just sweeping the shoulders with some shorter layers.
That's the hardest thing about growing my hair long-- I really like having it short, too. But I can't have it both ways at the same time.

I thought to vote MBL, as in "the length that's closest to WL" but that would be boring... I liked SL on myself, it was a cute, light and easy length.

I think APL looks very balanced in the same way that TBL does when it comes to longer lengths. I don't have much memory of anything shorter than hip length, but if I was to choose the most flattering hairstyle for myself, it would probably be APL with some face-framing bits.

For some reason I'm fascinated by short bobs. I love them because of how clean the cut is and how amazing the colors always look on that haircut, but I hate it because of how ugly it actually looks so it's my favourite short hair.
