I was curious what are everyone’s long hair goals?
As the Cowsills sang:
"Down to here
Down to there
Down to there?
Down to where?
It stops by itself
Don't never have to cut it
'Cause it stops by itself
Yes i'm that old.
Good Song :-)
My goal is just to wait until "it stops by itself". Once I reach terminal length and know what I have to work with, I'll decide on a cut which preserves most of the length and also lets my hair look semi-neat when I'm wearing it down.
The biggest goal is basically as long as possible.
Realistically, my smaller goals are:
-Mid back
-Waist
-Tailbone (around that and waist is where my peak was previously)
then hopefully to my knees, would even grow it longer but if my hair looks too thin/damaged then trimming it back and maintaining it between classic and knees.
To my toes.
Just kidding, shoulder length will do me, coming up to 9 months and i’d say i’m Almost halfway there..
Midback.

Hi Darrin,
Well, if I can get there my goal would be at least tailbone length. But if that's not possible as long as I can get it. My favorite length would be classic length though. But sometimes you have to take what you can get!

My hair is down to my butt, so a near-term goal would be Classic length. Beyond that? Knee.
Hey Darrin,
My goal is to let my hair grow as long as it will grow, even if my hair touches the floor when I am standing up. Having said that, I have to say that my hair has not grown any longer in the last two (2) years or so. I seem to have reached "terminal length" with my hair reaching a little bit beyond my collar bones. If anyone has any suggestions as to how I might get my hair to grow longer I would be glad to hear them.
Your long haired bro,
Raymond
Hi Raymond,
You have to appeal to the hair gods like I do! But seriously, be happy for what you can get! Just don't ever cut your hair please! Please take care of yourself my friend and don't give up!
Stay close, Ted
Initially I just wanted the hair to be long, I didn't have a specific goal in mind. Then standard length and knee length were my goals. I'm currently at standard length.
Hi Philip,
I always love your videos! You help me maintain patience and inspiration! I sure hope I can get my hair as long as yours! But I don't want to wait! I'm not giving up this time! I promise! Looking forward to your next video! Please take care of yourself!
Stay close, Ted
Honestly, knee length has always been my goal. I'm now a bit past waist length. But at 60, I don't know how much longer I can get....
Hi A.D.,
Honestly A.D. that would be my goal right there! I have 8 years until I'm 60. Do you think my hair will look as good as yours when I'm 60? I sure hope so! Looking very good my friend! Please take care!
Stay close, Ted
Hi Ted. 8 years? Well you got time... as it took me approx 7 - 7 1/2 years to reach that length. I've been blessed with lots of hair...however very fine hair. So if yours is thicker, your mane will look better than mine!!
Be well.
Hi A.D.,
Well, if my health holds out I will have time. I'm still waiting for a kidney transplant. I just was released from the hospital couple weeks ago with a serious staph infection. I had to have 4 weeks of IV antibiotics. But God willing I can achieve my goal. I plan to grow my hair to belt length and donate some. But I still want to have long hair after the donation. And my hair is much thinner than yours unfortunately!
Stay close, Ted
Hi Ted.
Health is everything. So please take good care of yourself & continue to have such a positive outlook on life.
A.D.
Hi A.D.,
Thanks so much! You are right about health! As long as my hair continues to grow I will be happy! I just wish it would get past my shoulders where it will hang better instead of bunching up! And you please take good care!
Stay close, Ted
Ad,
You seem to have very little grays.
Darrin
Thanks Darrin....but I unfortunately do have some!!! It's mixed with my blonde/light brown hair. Most people think I'm 45-50 because of this natural mix of color.
Your picture is my goal. And I will be around sixty when I hit it.
Wish you all the best Ross in reaching your goal. Hope you'll love every steps as much a I did.
Great idea for taking the role, Darrin!
I don't have a length goal, just to keep my hair where I would consider it 'long,' and to enjoy it! I do like it at about the length you see here; I can wear it loose more comfortably and conveniently than when it was a bit longer; I prefer having it loose most of the time to tying it back. (Except when sailing or cycling!) I have been experimenting in recent months with a layered cut as opposed to one-length, and ways to control frizz. I have thought about going somewhat longer than this, but I do want to avoid the thinning out towards the ends that seems to accompany growing out to terminal length for so many.
Hoping all are well in this season of renewal!
Don
Don,
Your hair is looking good. I am glad your doing well. I have grown my hair to belt length at it’s longest. I appreciate classic and longer hair on others, but I am terrible at putting my hair in buns. Thanks everyone for your input.
Darrin
Hi(gh)!
Originally, I went for waist-length... but around 2008 I had to accept that my terminal length is around 2'2" (65 cms), which is about mid-back (even my beard does not grow much longer than 8" (20 cms). But I think both hair and beard still have the classic "hippie" length...
See you in Khyberspace!
