I feel the same way, I guess it's one of those things where you adapt to situations as you need to. Mine has only ever been to waist and that's my current goal. I might venture lower but I'll see how I go.

Now, remember, I am new here I measured my hair the day I joined here with a measuring tape, the kind in the hard plastic thing, with the tape thing that wont bend! I wasnt sure if it was accurate so I was fianlly able to get one of those soft measuring things, from the sewing isle (the exact terms for stuff is lost on me tonight)
So I was wrong, my hair isnt 17 inches, it is 18 1/2 but I was close! As I was holding it up to my scalp I saw ho long 38 inches would be which 'was' my goal length! Wayyyy too long for me!!
So my new, closer to realistic goal is 30 inches!! I'd rather not have it able to fall into my butt when I shower and stuff...which reminds me of so many questions I have of really long hair people but wont dare ask

LOL I also wonder what they do if their hair is that long!!!
Haha, you just reminded me of a segment of a daytime talkshow I saw when I was a kid, of a group of girls with LONG hair cutting it off for charity.... One of them had this stone cold look on her face when she was asked why she was cutting it and she said, "This hair gets into every crevice of my body."
It does...
Just curious, where are you measuring from? I believe the "official" way to measure here is from the front of your hairline on your forehead down the middle of your back. Looking at your avatar that should probably give you a much longer measurement than 18.5". My hair is a fairly similar length (though I'm 6'7" and curly), and mine's close to 30" using that method.
TheEndlessOcean I measure from the hairline down the side, the 'very' middle of my back has a tiny bit that is slightly longer (due to my lack of perfesional cutting skills) So I am going from the shortest point of my hair...
The back I will eventually even up as time goes on so I'd rather list my shortest hairs, so at least when I even it I wont feel like I have lost length
Love your name on here!
