What Decided Your Goal Length?

**Bethie** · March 30th, 2010, 05:25 AM

I voted a little of both. It has been a long time since I had long hair so BSL seemed like a good length to try, I will be able to pull it up with little trouble, but also be able to wear it down and it looks so pretty. At least that is what DH said (he is the biggest reason for vanity

)

Vanity 100%. If I wanted practical, I'd shave my head.

I'm 50/50. With my hairtype and the fact that I colour my hair, waist length is probably more realistic than my goal of tailbone. If I can't make it to tailbone with healthy looking and feeling hair, I'll be quite happy with waist (which I know I can achieve, as I've just about done it before--until I wrecked my hair, yet again) or hip length.

Both. I'm of the vanity camp because I love it long and flowing, the practicality camp because once I can sit on it I don't think I'll want it that long. I *think* I'll be stopping at hip, but if you see me years down the road with hair to my ankles, don't remind me of this.

A bit of both although it is more vanity than practicality. Long hair IS practical when it comes to updos etc.
But that would not be of most importance for me, its just convenient that long hair is somewhat practical also.
I would go miles for vanity though always trying to look my best.

my goal is terminal length simply because i want to know how long my hair wil

l grow.

Vanity is definitely behind my goal length (hip-tbl) also curiosity as I havent had very long hair since I was about 12.

I was about to choose practicality, then I realized my main reason is vanity:

I look short with short hair. D:

But, I guess I'm not so impractical. Another reason that I keep it long is because one friend I used to have cut all her long hair off, and maintenance of it jumped to 20 minutes! I barely even spend time brushing my hair, and I wouldn't like to spend ages in the bathroom.

Should have chosen "a little bit of both".

I guess vanity. I didn't put waist as my goal for practical reasons, anyway. I don't think going very far beyond waist would suit me, but I never thought much about that - I just don't want hair as long as hip.
