Hi guys, I thought it would be fun to do a poll to see how long everyone's hair is. The Long Hair Community Board does this periodically. I thought it would be cool to do it here too.
Scott
My current hair length is:
[] short
[] collar length
[] falling on shoulders
[] mid back length
[] low back length
[] waist length
[] tailbone length
[] classic length {reaches top of thigh)
[] mid thigh length
[] knee length
[] mid calf length
[] ankle length
My hair is probably about as long as it will get.
Scott
God poll Scott!
My current hair length is somewhere in between these two choices depending on the relative humidity of the air:
[X] falling on shoulders
[X] mid back length
-------------------------------------------------
Hi Matt, that would be about shoulder blade length which is in between. Thanks for your input, and keep growing that mane.
Scott
Well, just the very tip of my narrow V-shaped hemline is there, but that qualifies, I guess!
Looking forward for some statistics!
Alessandro
--------------------------------------------
I would still call that classic length, Alessandro. Thanks for your input, and keep it growing.
Scott
After 67 months:
[X] classic length {reaches top of thigh)
-------------------------------------------
Excellent, another guy with super long hair. Thanks for your input, and keep it growing.
Scott
[X] mid back length (terminal)
-------------------------------------
I know terminal length varies a lot. For some, it is floor length, and for some mid back. Thanks for your input, Yadgar.
Scott
Great idea Scott doing this quick poll.As for me I'm still thinking this is it for my length but I'm still hoping for a bit more:)Cheers
Mark
---------------------------------------
Hi Mark, waist length is probably longer than the average guy can grow his hair to. Thank you for your input.
Scott
My hair is between these two:
[] falling on shoulders
[] mid back length
My bangs are shoulder lenght but the lowest layers reach my mid back. I haven't cut my hair since growing it out. The highest layers blend in with the lowest ones making my hair look like mid-back.
-------------------------------------------
Hi Vincent, I would call that mid back. In the poll, I should have said: "lowest point reached by your hair". Thanks for your input. Keep it growing.
Scott
My current hair length is mid back length.
Cool idea Scott. It will be interesting to see where people are at...some do not regularly post updates. I am guilty of this ;)
-Phil
------------------------------------
Hi Phil, I thought it was a great idea too. I don't think a thread like this has ever been done here. I am compiling the results. Thanks for your input, and keep it growing.
Scott
[X] mid back length
If I reach behind and pull it straight that is (the waves make it fall a couple inches above that. That's just the very tip of the "V" too. The bulk of my hair falls between mid-back and shoulder blade length.
Mouse
----------------------------------------
Hi Mouse, I should have posted this thread saying: "lowest point reached by your hair". Thanks for your input, and keep it growing.
Scott
My current hair length is:
[x] tailbone length
[x] classic length {reaches top of thigh)
Somewhere in that vicinity, anyway...
----------------------------------------
Hi JSFrodo, in the golf photo, your hair looks great. I would say your hair is at least tailbone length for sure. Thanks for your input.
Scott
With the waves & curls at the longest it's a little past Shoulder Blades, bangs are at Collar Bone.
[X] falling on shoulders
[X] mid back length
Frank
-----------------------------------------
Hi Frank, I would call that borderline mid back. Thanks for your input, and keep it growing for sure.
Scott
-------------------------------------------------
You have some good length now. Thanks for your input, and keep it growing.
Scott
Hi Scott,
My hair varies a lot in length, depending on the humidity, and on humid days, it is a little bit short of mid back length, and on dry, "straighter hair days", it is a bit below mid back length. (so the AVERAGE is mid back) Another issue is that I have a long neck, and that means it takes a greater length of hair for me to achieve mid back length or longer, compared to other guys, with shorter necks, where the same length of hair would be farther down their backs
David
Exactly. As a "no neck" I was close to shoulder length hair while I still had nubbies!
I've still got some growin' to do!
Cool poll, Scott :)
--Val
think an update pic is in order? :D
I've been posting update photos every other month... the next one (10 months from being bald) is due at the beginning of June. Stay tuned, true believers!
--Val
----------------------------------------------
I will just call it collar length for now. Thanks for your input, and keep growing that mane.
Scott
----------------------------------------------
Your mane is coming along well. Thanks for your input, and keep it growing.
Scott
Just out of curiosity, just what is the difference between low back length and waist length? I always concidered the two to be the same, but seeing it here like this I assume low back must be between mid back and waist. Please enlighten me. My hair actually will pull down to about 3 inches below the bottom of my shoulder blades, yet still way above my waist line. So I guess for the purposes of this poll it's somewhere in the mid-low back range.
Daniel
------------------------------------------------
Hi Daniel, I consider low back length to be maybe 2/3 of the way from your shoulders to your beltline. Waist length is where your hair reaches as low as your navel, which is maybe at the 85% mark.
From your discription, I would call that mid back. Thanks for your input, and keep it growing.
Scott
----------------------------------------------
Your hair is looking good, MarkS. Looks close to mid back to me. Thanks for your input, and keep it growing.
Scott
I am sure I have the MLHH record for the slowest growing hair..sigh !
--------------------------------------------------
Hey Walter, you are probably a 1/4" per month guy. You may be able to help it along a little with nutritional supplements. Thanks for your input, and keep it growing.
Scott
Hey Scott
Someplace around here I would say. Take care-
Justin~
-----------------------------------------------
Hi Justin, your hair must have grown a whole lot in the last few months. The last time I looked, your hair was a few inches past waist length. Thanks for your input, and keep it growing for sure.

Your hair is looking good, Jason. Hopefully you will have waist length soon. Thanks for your input, and keep it growing.
Scott
My hair is well past my shoulders but I'm not sure if it's midback. I don't know what qualifies as midback, but I'm probably close to it.
Peter
-------------------------------------------
So far, the largest group here has mid back length. Thanks for your input, Peter. Keep it growing.
Scott
-------------------------------------------------
You are another in betweener, Jann. Even though I included 12 different lengths to choose from, maybe I should have had 15 or even 20. I should have added shoulder blade length, which is in between shoulder length and mid back length. Thanks for your input, and keep it growing.
Scott
T minus mid back and holding.
-------------------------------------
I guess that is terminal length at mid back. Thanks for your input, and keep it long.
Scott
Hi Scott. I'm somewhere between low back and waist length currently. Hope all is well
Del
--------------------------------------------
Looking good, Del. I should have included 15 to 20 length increments instead of only 12. Thanks for your input, and keep it growing.
Scott
My current hair length is:
--------------------------------------------
Cool, it reaches your waist. Waves and curls do hide the length. You must have done the right thing by gently stretching it out straight to measure it. Thanks for your input, and keep it growing.
Scott
Hi Scott,
Yes, I do have pull it straight to get an actual measurement.
With my hair in a segmented tail like yours, and my head level, it just touches the back of my belt.
Interesting poll!
- Oren
Long enough to reach my head. (credit to Abraham Lincoln, who when asked how long his legs were replied "long enough to reach the floor").
Oh, and mine is ankle length... provided I lean over really far. :)
---------------------------------------------
ROFLMAO, you have a good sense of humour, Steve. If I remember correctly, it is past your waist. I would call it tailbone length. Thanks for your input, and keep growing that mane Steve.
Scott
----------------------------------------------
Hi MG, mid back so far seems to be the most common length here. Thanks for your input, and keep it growing.
Scott
I say my current hair length comes to falling just a past below my shoulders.
Matthew
-----------------------------------
Hi Matthew, your hair is possibly close to mid back, if you were to stretch it out. Curls hide the length. Thanks for your input, and keep it growing.

Hi John, your hair is really long now. Thank you for your input, and keep it growing.

Actually, just looking at it...it might be slightly past mid-back where the "v" is the longest.
cheers, Max
---------------------------------------------
Hi Max, you are in between mid back and low back length. I should have had 15 to 20 different lengths in the poll, instead of only 12. Thank you for your input, and keep growing that mane.
Scott
Good post Scott!
My current hair length is:
[x] mid back length (almost to bottom of shoulder blades)
This is probably where I'll remain. I would like to keep growing longer, but my wife would like it shorter.
Sometimes you have to compromise to keep the peace.
Bruce
My wife too would like shorter hair on me, she said mid back was enough and that longer hair was "too much"; eventually I grew it to classic and she said nothing, just frowning sometimes and saying that I ignore her - but kidding.
However, I wear my hair in a bun most of the time, so mid back or floor length isn't so different; people usually don't realize my hair is so long until I let it down.
-----------------------------------------------
Hi Bruce, it would be nice to be able to grow it longer, but keeping the peace with your spouse is most important of all. I will probably never understand why a great many women dislike long hair on men. Long hair is just as natural for a man as for a woman. Thanks for your input.
Scott
-----------------------------------------------------
Looking good, Dave. Keep growing that gorgeous shaggy mane. Thanks for your input.

I have checked two boxes because it is almost to my shoulders but not quite. Definitely collar length.
I just measured and my hair is a good 5" and almost 6. This is remarkable because it hasn't even been a year since my last haircut. I have been taking a vitamin a day and I believe this is the only way to achieve improved growth. I don't even know how long it's been, I think it will be a year since my last haircut in September or October. The longest I've ever had my hair was well past my shoulders from August 2002 to March 2005. I have only recently gotten serious about growing it out again. Wish me luck and not to be so foolish. Thanks for reading.
- Brian C.
----------------------------------------------
Hi bgc, checking two boxes is the right thing to do if you are in between two lengths. I should have included about 20 different lengths instead of only 12. Thanks for your input.
Scott
---------------------------------------------
Thanks for your input, and keep growing that mane.
Scott
[X] waist length - at least the longest strands are. I used to have a classic length mane though. I just started taking biotin to see if I can coax out some additional length. It seems to be working on the goatee:)
-----------------------------------------
Yes, I would call that waist length. Biotin is a great idea. It should increase your growing cycle. Keep growing that great mane and fantastic goatee. (I wish my facial hair would grow that long.) Thanks for your input.
Scott
My current hair length is:
[X] falling on shoulders
[X] mid back length
------------------------------------
Ah, another in betweener. I should have included shoulder blade length in that poll. Thanks for your input.
Scott
I'd say this is probably the best thread for most member participation that I've seen. (although I've only been posting for a little over a month but been lurking on and off for a couple of years) at any rate, hello everybody!
Daniel
--------------------------------------
quite slow. This has never been done here, to my knowledge. I am impressed at the number of replies. To this point, overall length has averaged out to about mid back length so far.
Scott
[x] low back length
Although I actually think it's actually somewhere in between low and mid back. I haven't really been thinking about my length too much lately.
---------------------------------------------
You have one great mane, Garth. Keep it growing for sure, and thanks for your input.
Scott
[x] collar length (normally)
[x] falling on shoulders (straightened)
-----------------------------------------------
I would call that shoulder length. I forgot to mention to curlies and wavies to gently pull it straight. Thank you for your input, and keep growing that mane.
Scott
Hi Scott,
Since you missed my input further down the board, I will repeat my answer to your question here.
My hair varies a lot in length, depending on the humidity, and on humid days, it is a little bit short of mid back length, and on dry, "straighter hair days", it is a bit below mid back length. (so the AVERAGE is mid back) Another issue is that I have a long neck, and that means it takes a greater length of hair for me to achieve mid back length or longer, compared to other guys, with shorter necks, where the same length of hair would be farther down their backs
David
Hey this reminds me, when are you gonna post another update? I'm posting one after my junior prom on Saturday.
Hi Dio,
Thank you for asking about my next update! I posted one a couple of months ago, and since my hair hasn't changed that much since then, it may be a little while until my next one. I will be going to visit Tammy in another month or so, and I might do one then, or shortly afterwards, depending on how things go.
Be sure to have a great time at that junior prom, and I will be looking forward to your update!
Take care,
David
--------------------------------------------
Hi David, I never considered length variations due to humidity. I will consider it to be mid back. Thanks for your input.
Scott
I'd say that I was about
[X] falling on shoulders
though it's slightly past that, now. It's what I consider myself, as I can't see all that hair behind me! The stuff at the back is about where my shoulder blades are, though.
-----------------------------------------
Hi Jowii, you are at a transitional point which is called shoulderblade length. I forgot to include this in the poll. I only had 12 lengths in the poll, but probably should have had 20. Thanks for your input.
Scott
[] collar length
X (in between)

Just went from lower back/waist length to about 5" all over (to rid myself of dreads). I'm on my way back, though ; )
---------------------------
Bummer that you had to cut so much off, but dreads, if really tight, can't be undone. On regrowing it, try to stay on top of tangles so this does not happen to you again. Thanks for your input.
Scott
Hi Scott, Mine is waist length by gently stretching it out. Over 30 inches as of the last official measurement.
peace, jonalbear
--------------------------------------
Hi Jonalbear, you are brilliant. I forgot to mention "when gently pulled straight" for curly and wavy hair. You figured it out on your own. Kudos to you. Thanks for your input.
Scott

You are very close to the top for length. Thanks for your input.

Only collar length cause theres nothing inbetween that and shoulders. It went past my collar last september and went below the bottom of the collar in December.
It's about as long as it was when I cut it now (longer at the front, It reaches to my chin when pulled, but it was thinned out so badly I don't like doing that.
--------------------------------------
Your hair is in between collar and shoulder length. Thanks for your input. (I should have included more lengths to pick from.)
Scott
[X] None of the above, if that's an option. :-)
Mine is actually between shoulder length and mid-back, a couple of inches below the top of my shoulder blades.
---------------------------------------
That is an option, Bill K. I only included 12 lengths, but should have had about 20. Shoulder blade length, which is between shoulder and mid back, should have been on that list. Thanks for your input.
Scott
My length is the same as for the last 11 years - APL (longer than shoulders, not quite mid back). This for me is terminal; in June it will be 15 years since my last trim. Hi to everybody - I don't get a lot of time to post nowadays, but am pleased to see the board doing so well, and so many active growers.
---------------------------------------------
Hi bte, I realize that shoulder blade length should have been on the list. We have several members here at that length. On that list, 12 different lengths were not enough. I should have had 15 to 20. Thanks for your input.

Most of my hair is low back, but some hairs are waist length, hopefully more as time goes by!

Hi Rick, I would call that waist length. Thanks for your input, and keep it growing.

Made it just in time to hit 40! Let's see how long it will grow by 45.

You have good length. That brings the total to 16 guys (in the poll) with waist length or longer. Thanks for your input, and keep it growing.

Thanks for the poll. I am still a long way off from my final goal of low-back length, but things are coming along smoothly. I like taking the Biotin supplement, and it does seem to be good for my general health, but I can't really claim to be growing "faster"
-Daniel
on the long side of [x] mid back length
