    Default You Might Be Hip Length When...

    --coronet braid: so close, and yet so far away
    --you can brush your hair behind your own back
    --vintage styles ('20s-'40s) are quickly becoming less viable options
    --7" hair sticks
    --sponge curlers: before rolling, 1 inch diameter; after rolling, 3 inch diameter
    --hairy armpits, and not because you didn't shave

    I am close! My longest bits are at hip already

    You might be hip length when...

    -You make the mistake of sleeping with long hair and wake up with it stuck under DBF's back :P
    -You watch a movie together on the couch and your hair gets stuck under DBF's back
    -You freak out because something is tickling you, scarily close to your butcrack and you think it's a creepy bug- and it's your hair. Which in turn leads to a feeling of joy because it's SO CLOSE TO BCL

    Dang! 7" hair sticks?? 5" is still too long on me...

    Darn my thin hair. Sadly I don't know if I'll ever be able to pull off a pretty coronet braid due to the thinness

    Hip length is such a weird in between length.

    Have you tried pancaking your braids?

    I am hip length and can barely do a LWB! How it's so different for all of us!

    When you are done braiding your hair and you flip it behind your shoulder to your back and it swings around and ends up over your other shoulder to your front.

    ...a half-up has become a real undertaking. All the hair wants to join the party.

    Dancing with braids clears a nice sized circle around you at the concert.
