2023 - Annual Goal Length Poll Part 2: What Is Your Goal Length?

**Emila** · January 18th, 2023, 01:55 AM

I voted mid thigh because a friend of mine used to have mid thigh length and I just thought it was an amazing length. It suited her so well and had a lot of wow factor. I would love to achieve that sort of length some day.

However in all honesty I think I would be very happy with classic and from what I can gather that length sounds like a happy medium with both long hair wow factor and shorter hair practicality and comfort. But I've never had hair this length so I can't really know how I'll feel until I do!

I think that classic length is kind of my goal and I'll see how I feel about going beyond that once I'm there.

But my first goal is hip length because once I get to there I will be at my longest length to date and that will be an important milestone for me 😊

So in a way I have 3 goals! First get to hip length and break my length barrier lol. Then get to classic and assess if I want to continue on to mid thigh or maintain!

Hip/tailbone
I’m at hip, but i feel tailbone is a separate, longer length

OK, I know it's been a while, but I'm browsing the forum again.

I managed to hit tailbone (my original goal) and now I am back to shoulder. My new goal is terminal, but that may not be very long. It turns out my scalp reacts to everything! So I am on WO/SO. My scalp is happy and my hair has stopped falling out. In fact it is starting to grow back, but I have to trim very often to keep the ends healthy like this. So terminal may just be at my shoulders, and I'm OK with that as long as my hair is no longer falling out!

Every year my hair goal is moving up a milestone. Now it's knee. Lol. But I guess as I have hit goals and wanted more and more length it just has to keep increasing.

I generally consider my goal terminal, but better described as "blunt terminal." I don't like fairytale ends on myself, so I'll be growing as long as I can while maintaining my hemline to my satisfaction. Since I'm avoiding taper I won't see my true terminal length.
