Mid thigh length is the max for me.  I greatly respect everyone who has the patience for longer than that, but I don't think that's going to be me.  I guess I'll see when I get there. 

Best things as in hair products, or hair accessories?  I have a hair safe website in my signature if you need to make some hair safe accessories.  Products though, I don't think I know 2 people here who use all the same products!  They are a very individual choice for what works best on your hair.  Are you growing yours out too, or only your daughter?

for Miri the best thing for her hair are braids and updos.

Hi Sugarcube,

How long would I grow my hair?  The answer is contained within my signature picture.

The best thing to preserve the condition of long hair is gentle care (rule number one!).  Consider the stresses to your tresses when doing such things as cleaning and straightening it... and the things which tangle it, and what things can be done to reduce or eliminate tangles -- the braid & bun suggestions you offer are excellent in that regard.

I am at just about 30" and loving it the longer the better.  I'm thinking another foot although seeing Dave and Longhaired 1 gets me thinking of the super length.

Well, my goal length has no limit. I am just going to let it grow with a few trims every now and then.

My goal length is to be able to sit on it. After that I'll decide whether I want to cut it to hip length or grow it even longer.

hi,

I don't know exactly how long I will let it get. I know my goal right now is to reach my tailbone.

my goal length  to get is lower back.  currently at BSL babycheeks242007-01-13 13:03:03

barring any possible terminal length issues, i'd love to grow my hair down to my lower back/tailbone area.

Hairbraider, it is so beautiful! My curl shape is almost the same as yours.I have a layer on the top that goes almost straight , though. It drives me nuts! 

 Thanks Alisa!  I do have to try hard to keep the top layer of hair from going straight.  I think that's something most curlies experience because it's the most exposed part.

Interesting... I am going to try the lime juice you mentioned before. I have noticed that the more I do n ot brush, the curlier it gets.

I want to grow my hair up to my waist first  after that I don' know. I barly have it bsl. :( I get so jealous when I see girls with long hair.

Is it me, or is long hair coming "back "? Mabye it is just were I live, but the past few months I am seeing more and more young girls/ teenagers with pretty long hair. Some with hair to their waist. IMO, it is about time! he he 

I think it is coming back. I see a lot of girls at my school with extensions. I always thought long hair was sooo pretty and still do .

Hallelujah, sing it, sister!

From what I've seen around here, hair that is at least shoulder-blade length seems to be quite popular, with longer lengths (to hip-length) not uncommon.

I want a little longer then midback length.  That would be sooo pretty.

I do see a come back of long hair.  The style has been so short for so long, it's nice to see.

I had a cousin who was able to sit on it and she cut it a little over her bra strap. Her parents never took her to get a hair cut up until now that she is 17. I asked her if she missed her hair and she said no . oh my gosh gypsy doll im soo jealous of your hair length . I'm trying to do all these things to at least grow it to my waist. I doubt it will grow longer because of genes. my mothers hair doesnt grow much . it grows a little over her shoulders .
