Reply #1 - Sep 15^th, 2006 at 4:07pm I will probably reach my first goal within 6 months. I'm not really sure how long I want my hair in the end, however I'm betting that I'll want it longer after I reach this first goal.

I no longer have a goal for the length of my hair. My primary goal is to keep it healthy.

When I recognized I was growing my hair longer than ever before, I had the goal of waist length. When I reached that, I went for classic. Having achieved classic length I realize that my fine hair may not look good at longer lengths, so I am striving for healthy hair. If it happens to get longer ..... whoo hoo! Grin

My first goal was to get from having cut almost all my hair off, and having it super short and layers everywhere, to all one length at shoulder-length. It's 2 years later and I just reached that.

Now my next goal is BSL, in the logical progression of goals...that will probably take 1.5 to 2 years, depending on how often (and how much) I trim.

My final goal is indeterminate. I saw a girl the other day with knee-length hair and I would really LOVE to have hair that long....but....my hair just may be too thin to wear that long. She had very thick, wavy brown hair. So that helped the effect. I figure I'll just keep growing mine until I decide that's enough.

My first goal was BSL (I didn't know what to call it though). Then it was waist. Now I'm shooting for classic. It should take about a year to get to hip length, and another to get to classic. I also worry about healthy hair more than length, so I trim about 1/4 inch every couple of months when the ends start to get thin.

I think my primary goal is to keep it as healthy as possible. What's the point of having hair that's super long if it's not healthy?? I may reach tailbone at the time I thought I would on my ticker. I might be off by a month or 2,not sure yet. It's almost to my hips when wet so I'm hoping that as long as it's healthy I should be there soon.

My short term goal should be reached in a little over 9 months, I'm not sure how much longer I'll want my hair after that.

Good point. My short term goal is bsl (2 1/2 years). My ultimate would be classic but i am forgetting that unil i reach my above goal between waist and tailbone.

Since mine is in short layers just past my chin, this will probably take me about another year. Then after that first goal, I'd like to get it to BSL, which would be what, maybe two more years? So in three years, when I'm 28, it might be BSL. Yeah!

I have a series of goal lengths. First is BSL, which I am hoping to achieve by my wedding in July (seven months away). Oh, funny question, I'm sure, but what exactly is BSL? I mean I know it stands for bra strap length, but what point of your bra are we talking about? The horizantal back strap, the front? I've been assuming the back strap.

My next goal is waist length, which I estimate will take me around 20 months (July 2008?), so I'll be 24.

I don't know if it would be practical for me to have it much longer than wasit length. I guess I'll see when I reach my other goals.

See the ticker in my sig for my first short-term goal. 2 feet of hair seems like a nice, solid measurement.

After that, BSL, which should take a few months after I reach 2 feet. I'll most likely get a trim somewhere in there, too.

My ultimate goal is waist length, where I was 7 years ago, before a terrible colouring incident. After that, who knows?

Hi Rainbow, my hair goal is as long as it will grow

I cut off approxiamately (sp) 2 1/2 in on Oct 1, and another 1/2 in on Jan 01. My hair was having a bad attitude when I first cut it, then I did again cuz it felt good. Now I plan to leave it alone other than dusting for split ends. I am curious if it will get much longer. It is currently still at the tops of my thighs. I guess I just cut off some of the new growth Roll Eyes

.

Have a most excellent day!

My final goal is knee length and if my calculations are correct *puts on nerd glasses* I should be there by my 25th birthday. I'm 22 now so that gives me 3 years of growing, then a life-time of trimming and maintaining Grin

My ends are going to be sooooo thick and lucious by the time I'm 30!! hahaha what a weird thing to think........ Roll Eyes

I could reach it before 25, but I want to stop for a few months at midthigh length so I can trim each month to thicken things up.
