That people with short torsos are bra-strap when technically they aren't? I've just looked at two albums of people with "high" bra-straps and looking at them I thought their hair length on me would be a little past shoulder length(I have a long neck and torso). So does that mean that us long torsos have longer hair than we think we do? A few weeks ago I saw a lady, who, delicately put, had no neck (she was a little thick) but her hair, on anyone else would be a little past shoulder length, was bra-strap on her?

Has anyone else noticed this? I don't mean to rain on anyone's hair length but I think my bra-strap would be past bra-strap on someone else with a different torso size.
 
I think about that sometimes too! My hair would probably be below bra strap on someone more petite but since my torso/back is bigger, it takes more length for me.

I agree with you on this one. When my hair reaches my bra-strap, it maybe inches from waist length for someone who's shorter than I (I'm 5'6'').
 
I am sure that is the reason I am past the bra strap. When I 1st came to this site I was wondering why people measure that way. It also depends on the bra too. That is why I said in my signature "I am 5'3" with shoes." Very short waisted!
 
That's why I always describe my hair in inches, not by body parts or clothing. I think it's so much more reliable. 16 inches of hair is 16 inches on everyone.

I wouldn't say that someone with a short torso isn't "technically" bra-strap. If their hair reaches their bra-strap, then they are bra-strap.
 
I think this is true, it also depends on how their bra fits. A lot of ill fitting bras have the clasp very high on your back. I measure in inches and I do not do from the hairline because I think that is faulty as well. I take a couple of sections from my head and measure from root to tip.
 
I have noticed this too, and since I am 5'5", I classify my length as where the it falls according to the widest area of my upper back. This standard length diagram shows it as a few inches below your underarm, and this is what I go by. Also, depending on what bra I'm wearing, my hair *might* fall on the brastrap as some are worn high or low.
 
I think I am one of those short torso women.

I will have achieved MY goal when my hair touches MY bra-strap, like Ipanema said. Shoot this body of mines may benefit me in reaching waist length someday

I have also started measuring my hair because of this

I might try sweatpea's technique.
 
That's true. What's bra-strap to you is bra-strap to you. Unfortunately, it takes longer for some to get there.

*another reason to be thankful for being 5'4"*

but no seriously, i think whenever it reaches whatever is brastrap for THAT person then it's brastrap
smile.gif
ALTHOUGH....i do know what you mean when you mention some brastraps looking kinda high ie: faulty or something

I measure by sections. That gives me a lot of information. My hair grows faster in the middle than any where else. It grows faster on the right side than the left. I measure the same sections all the time. I record each section after each relaxer.
 
I understand this because I'm 6'0 tall and it will be like 10 inches until im brastrap but my mom is 5'4 and she only needs 4 inches but we have the same length hair

4 inches shes lucky
 
Yeah, us tall girls are at a distinct disadvantage when we use such subjective measures. 24" hair would be below "the brastrap" but far from my waist, while 24" puts some people 2" from their waist!

My body is the same way, Denali!! I'm 5'5" but I think I have a short torso too, cuz I'm ALL LEGS... everyone who looks at me says I look at least 5'7", and if I wear a heel over about 2 and a half inches, I look like I'm walking on stilts!!
