Thread: Would you call this waist or hip? A little confused at this length.

  1. #1

    Default Would you call this waist or hip? A little confused at this length.

    When I look at my hair from the front, it's barely waist length for sure (ugh), but from the back..I'm just realizing that I might be able to call it hip from this photo taken today? Hip length in the front is my ultimate length goal. I'd be happy to know that I'm there..in the back! What do you think? I have a hard time telling the difference with waist and hip to be honest. Thanks in advance!




    PS: Does anyone elses' hair GREATLY differ in length from when you pull it over your shoulders, to when its all behind your back? It's frustrating, because I always pull most of my hair over my shoulders in front and I feel like it's so short to me.

    Grow hair, grow!

    I'd say you're right on hip.

    I think everyone's hair is shorted when it is pulled over the shoulder since the hair has to go over the shoulder which takes up a few extra inches.

    I'd say hip (or just a bit before hip, actually).

    You're quite a bit past your waist (it's up about your elbows!)

    I'd consider it hip length.

    Yes, my hair does the same thing. It's hip length when behind me, and just below BSL when over my shoulders.

    It looks like it is barely scraping hip (definatly hip streched).

    I think the ends of your longest strands are at hip length.

    I'm just the opposite. When I pull my hair in front of my shoulders, the ends touch the tops of my thighs. When I check it from the back, they don't -- stupid huge hiney!
