I actually had my hair length goal before HRT, bra strap length... unfortunately my hair pre-HRT? Not so sturdy. Constant tangles, horrible split ends, very fine. It looked okay at a distance, but up close it was damaged... so last weekend I got it cropped at jaw length. Actually had a bit of a dysphoric spell over it. Still, at least this way, all the stuff coming in now is sturdier and healthier and doesn't tangle as easily. *sighs unhappily* still, two years of no hair cuts was undone in less than half an hour...

I got mine to be almost waist length about 20 years ago, then it got really hot one summer and I cut it to neck length.  It grew back to armpit length, then I got drunk and told people I'd cut it all off for $500.   I grew it back out for about 3 years, then chopped it off again while desperate for finding work.  Then I got another job as a guitar tech. *facepalm*  I kept farming the hair, but gradually the ponytail got thinner and thinner to the point where I was about ready to call it a day and chop it for good because I didn't want to be "that guy" on whom it just looks pathetic.  Well, in the end, I just didn't want to be "a guy" at all and went on finasteride immediately.  The good news was that it went to work quickly, and estrogen and dutasteride really made it come back thicker than it had been in ages.  The bad news is that it looked pretty ratty with it at all different lengths, so I have to chop an inch or two every 2-3 months until it all evens out.  So, if you're still reading for some reason and keeping score, it's now at shoulder/collarbone length.  I'm hoping to have it bra strap length and even in a couple of years.  Wow, the hair will be the last thing on my transition agenda (transgenda?) after SRS.  How freakin' ironic is that?

When I was younger and with the exception of a wayward 9 years,I always had waist length hair. When I began having problems my hair wouldn't grow too much past shoulder length. Now that those problems with my head hair have been reversed due to my AA's and E, and my hair is thickening and growing again I'd looooove to have my waist length hair back. And the way it's growing it won't be too long before I get there. It's past my bra strap now in the back!, YaY!

I keep a feathered deep V cut in the back so my sides, which are at boob length (Avatar photo was snapped yesterday) are shorter than the middle which is about 5" past my bra strap.

Tip: Your nail health reflects your hair health. If your nails are healthy, your hair should be. But if your nails crack and split/break easily, so will your hair. I take a good women's multi and also a good hair, skin, and nails vitamins and do my best to eat healthy. You may not think it, but it makes a difference.

My bangs go down past my belly button. It's pretty long.

I don't really have a set 'goal'; I've worn my hair long since my early teens (so like 8 years now) and have been all over the place.

I had let it grow down to my bellybutton when I decided to hack it all off to just at my collarbone; since then I've gong longer and shorter longer and shorter, until I settled at a comfortable shoulder length where I am now :)

It seems for me there is a very small window of what 'looks good'. Much longer and I think I look silly, much shorter and it's just not as flattering, so for the time being this is it.

This is a fun idea for a thread.

Miharu Barbie, I love, love love your hair, too! You're absolutely gorgeous. Wear it that length for as long as you can.

I've been around a long time and I had nearly waist length hair in the early '90s and loved it. Alas, I no longer have the volume for it, I still love my hair. Every few months I trim it back to about a "lob", then grow it to about the collarbone. My current scheme is to pick up a top hairpiece to help with my upper volume a bit, go with a beige-to-blonde highlight coloration and wear it in a flippy shoulder/collar style. As you get on in years, you have to get strategic about these things.

Mine was almost to my waist when I donated almost a foot. My bf and mom think it looks more feminine shorter, but I really like long hair

I want my hair down to my ass but ear-length hair just fits my big head much better and makes me look much more feminine. My stylist and everyone else tells me that everyday. I do miss my long hair and wish I could pull it off but it makes my head look bigger for some reason.
