    No. I never would have thought I could grow it this long (it's FTL), but not due to my hair itself. I would have thought I would be impatient or impulsive and cut it all off before now. I'm pretty proud of myself for growing this long because I feel like I've grown as a person (as silly as that sounds).

    Still not sure I can do it lol.
    Longest I've ever had is like APL.

    I've got a lot of people in my life who happen to like shorter hair, both on themselves and on me, so I'm very use to it. I like it short too. In florida long hair gets so hot and uncomfortable.
    So I can't garuntee that I'm not going to chop it off the second I feel I can lol (either after my friend has a wedding or once she confirms they've decided not to do a big ceremony anymore).
    But I kinda want to see what happens when it gets longer. I want to try to learn how to do hair or at least get to BSL for once.
    But we'll see. I get bored really easy, and cutting is a faster change than growing.

    I had long hair as a child with no effort required, so I know I can do it, theoretically. The only real change in my hair since puberty is that it's more wavy.
    I just question if I'll be able to deal with taking care of it, and not getting frustrated and shaving it all off on a whim.
    I've had short hair pretty consistently since I cut my long hair at age 11. The longest it's been since then was APL, which is pretty long for me.
    I can probably handle APL. I'm just wondering if I can handle BSL, Waist, Hip, maybe as far as classic...

    So I'll come back and answer again in a few years
    Just trying to get by

    I started from pixie and decided at some point I want classic length hair. I don't remember doubting it, I have more hair than an average person so I've thought I most likely can grow my hair longer than an average person too. Also seeing people here having amazingly long hair, if you can do it I'm sure I can do it too. I'm not at classic yet but still feeling confident.
    Let it grow, let it grow, don't cut or fry it anymore,
    Let it grow, let it grow, turn away from silicones
    ...clogged drains never bothered me anyway.

    Longest hair I've ever had is APL.
    My goal is just BSL, but I'm not sure this is possible. I'm excited to see!

    When I joined I knew I could at least grow to WL. I cut back to chin shortly after and ended up growing all the way to knee in 2018 after 6 years of growing from chin.
    I really thought my limit would be hip before my hair started to look scraggly and unkempt, but it ended up growing just fine- well into knee. I'm betting I could make it to ankle.

    i had long hair for the first 14 years of my life, then chopped it off and after bleaching, dyeing and nurtitional issues it was short for 6 years. doubted a little but i knew i could grow past collarbone without having only crappy ends. now over BSL with healthy ends and still growing!

    I've grown it before so I knew I could do it again.

    Hurray! I've reached tailbone length! Last trim 1-2-23.
