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?
