I would like bra strap length because it I think it looks the cutest with the hairstyle I want. I basically want to do a side swept bangs and choppy layers kind of hairstyle. I can't wait for it to grow...

Collarbone to bra strap (or shoulder length), really anywhere in btwn those.   I giggled at "Rapunzel"  =)

I'd like to have it in a ponytail down to my lower back again.  :(  Unfortunately, I work in an ultra conservative city with only pockets of resistance. The industry I'm usually in demands a "neat" appearance too. A few years ago, I had to cut my gorgeous locks to get a job after losing my last long term job where appearance didn't count. If hiring managers weren't ->-bleeped-<-s, I'd still have my hair I grew out for 5 years.

I would think it would be easier to deal with the hair than the transition.

I'm wanting bra strap length, personally.  I want my hair long, but so long it's unmanageable.  At that length I can have a nice long ponytail or braids that aren't too short.  My last haircut was about 9-10 months ago (jarhead cut, before I accepted being trans), and my bangs are just now reaching my cheekbone.  It seems to be at this length that no matter what I do, it doesn't look very good.  But I know that will pass.

YAY :D !!! Cool!

Am on a mission too, hoping to get mine from collarbone to waist.

MAY YOUR MISSION BE A SUCCESS!!  :D

I'll probably have that in a few years but not in curly form. Like right now in it's natural state it's shoulder length, a bit past the bra straps.

Stuff like that always breaks my heart and brings tears to my eyes. What the crap is a "neat" appearance anyway? Some butthole that thinks he or she is the big IT and or the ultimate decider? I have certain word for people like that but I am a lady and won't say it here. But most of 'em need a napking to wipe the brown off thier noses. ;)

I <3 pixie cuts and short hair. So luckily for me, I could have my dream hair in boy mode. Going into a hairdresser's and saying "I want a pixie cut, like a girl's haircut." was an incredible moment.

I often get stuck in "business casual" environments, and they do have a way things are done for the most part. Since I am still in "guy mode" I have to play this part although I still manage to wear earrings in both ears to work.  ;)  I do think it's too much shock value for some people. I would be ignorant or naive to think such counterculture would be welcomed by shallow and superficial people. That's just the way it works, unfortunately. I am soooooo looking to get the hell out of the IT industry and do something else careerwise.

I would like my hair waist length but unfortunately my school has '"rules" so this is as long as its gonna get, ( for now ) but I'm not complaining tho I love my hair. ( refer to my avatar my hair length has been like that for a year or so, I think.)
Never fear shadows. They simply mean there's a light shining somewhere nearby.

Mines about the bottom of my shoulder blades atm, but shorter at the front(shoulder length). I'd like to get it down to my waist eventually though. My hair seems to grow really fast to a point then slow down.

I wish mine would not only grow longer but was *straight.* :) As it is, I've got crazy curls are also super thick (so that I've lost brushes in there), and it won't get longer than mid-back. (Well, it's almost waist-length when wet, but the curls make it look much shorter).

Waist lenght will be like the dream but for now i'm happy with a short bob or like neck length!

Ok I'm using biotin pills to make my hair grow faster kind of and they are very good, but it's making my hair grow faster on my legs too (which is not nice!)... Is that a normal thing?

Right now my hair is at mid-back length as I haven't cut it in about 14 months.
When I start presenting female I'm sure a few inches will need to be trimmed off just to keep it healthy, but from there I can't decide if I want to leave it long or go for shoulder length.

I have bad my hair in a pony tail in guy mode for 5 years... so maybe I need a change. Then again just having my hair styled at all would be significant.  Sadly my hair is about as straight as hair can get (and pretty dense; ive broken a comb in it before) so there isn't much I can do with it without applying damaging heat.

Bra Strap Length would look nice with my natural dreads.   Just started the process back in late March and my dreads are around chin length at the moment.

When I first transitioned many years ago now, I grew out my hair continuously for 7 years before I got over the fear of cutting it. I like long hair, but that was too much, it gets tangled too easily and it's a pain to keep the snarls out. These days I keep it a little longer than shoulder length and that works just fine for me.

I like my hair at bra strap length, but I just had 3 inches taken off a couple of weeks ago, because I get my hair highlighted a lot, and I had some bad ends.  :'(
