Difference b/w Shoulder length & Full shoulder length

[amina kamal]

What's the difference between shoulder length and full shoulder length. Can someone post a pic.... pretty please?

 

[HoneyDew]

I think this is full shoulder length. I will be very comfortable saying shoulder length when my hair is like this:

Here's another good one:

I think some might consider these shoulder length, but I would not call this FULL shoulder length:

You hit it right on the money with the first set of pictures.

Now that I look at her, the 3rd one may just be shoulder length. She is holding her head back anyway. I do like her length though. With that fullness it looks good.

 

[amina kamal]

Thanks honeydew, As always !!!

I would love to be at full shoulder length by Dec 31, but I don't know if I can make it.

Exactly! I also think full SL is when the hair touches the shoulder blade.

Those pics are actually neck length.

I consider this neck length.

Well, girl send out a memo!

I agree with you, but I have seen plenty of ladies with those lengths claim shoulder length!!

Yes I've seen it too but didnt want to say anything. I just looked at the pics and was like

Thats why I was confused in the first place

The third pic does begin to touch the shoulders in the back..... I think they're neck length unless they're going by the longest layer (which starts to touch the shoulders.) Anyways.... I don't really pay much attention. I just root for muh sistas that are taking good care of their grass.

Oh no. I would not rain on anyone's parade either. But, let me put it out there NOW! : If I ask yall what length I am at PLEASE PLEASE keep it real with me. I am not trying to claim it and get my hopes up all high. Just give it to me straight. Even if most people are telling me one thing - if you think otherwise let me know - I'm begging you.

You aint the only one.....Is there a full shoulder length in 08 challenge yet?

Same here

I remember when I first saw the 2nd picture last year sometime. I saved it on my computer because that is the shoulder length I want.

It ain't happening anytime soon with these layers I have going on. But that length is my 1st goal. It will be in 08 before I see anything even close to that.

Layers suck that way, don't they? When I do my hair all I can do is smh and say "Never again"

We should go ahead and boot up the "SL in 08" thread, hehe

 

[hopeful]

HoneyDew, thanks for posting those pics, you are right on the money. Full shoulder length is so pretty.

You know, if my hair was that long but was shiny and thick, I wouldn't even care. Yeah, it might be 2008 before my hair looks like that but its all good. I just can't keep going on my length journey if my hair health isn't at the optimal level. I am just going to lock my length goals in a mental box and keep them there until my hair health is where I need to be.

I consider this neck length.

So am I neck length or shoulder length? I thought I was shoulder length but I'm basically the same as the pic.

Looking at you siggy photos...you're hair in it's natural state is neck length and flat ironed is what I (IMOHO) would call full shoulder length because all sides reach your shoulder.

You and me both...

You're full shoulder length. I think all the hair in the back and sides has to be there. My sides are just past my chin right now.

Hahahahahahaha. It can't be worse than the pics of folks who have reached BSL and the bra strap is in line with their armpit. Let me stop.

 

[lovenharmony]

...Have to change my goal date for full SL

But you know what - I think that just proves that sometimes we get too caught up on length as a measure of progress. I used to get so discouraged trying to keep up. Now I just "work with what I got" (taken from Amina's avatar )
