Need Your Critique-What length is this?

[LaidBak]

I need to know what length I am. I thought NL but upon today's inspection I realized that my hair grazes my shoulders on each side. But I want to know the official LHCF definition of shoulder length. Am I there yet?

 

[DMJ's Mom]

My personal opinion is when you have hair touching your shoulders thats SL. But i'm sure somebody else can chime in with a more experienced opinion

 

[nappystorm]

Claim it honey!!!

You're SL!!!

 

[~*~ShopAholic~*~]

NL, creeping up on SL

 

[SlantedEyezMiss2003]

IMO, the beginning of SL, it's hard cuz the neck and shoulders connect, NL IMO, is that you can't put your hair in a ponytail, and SL you can put it in a ponytail...so from the look of it you can put it in a ponytail. JMO....

 

[Caramela]

I would say a nice full NL I would say another couple of inches would put you at SL

 

[naturalpride]

I think you are about two inches from full shoulder length.....

 

[baddison]

based on this diagram......maybe an inch or two more....

 

[Galadriel]

I would say 1 - 2 more inches, then it'll be shoulder length

 

[LaidBak]

based on this diagram......maybe an inch or two more....

Darlin--this picture is EXACTLY what I needed. Thank you! Looks like collar bone is what I need to base my goal on.

 

[Evolving78]

it is collar length

 

[SmartyPants]

I say no... my hair is about the same length as yours with a slight bend because I rollerset my hair every night so my hair is never straight down like yours. I am not claiming shoulder length until my hair is at my shoulders with the bend--probably after this 20 week stretch.

 

[cutenaynay]

I will say full NL

 

[Neith]

You're shoulder length imo. Your hair touches your shoulder. It's layered though, so I wouldn't say full shoulder length.

Collarbone is when it hits your collarbone, which should be coming up soon. (Good luck! )

Sometimes it seems as if people don't recognize shoulder length until it's a little past the shoulders, like collarbone length, but no it's called SHOULDER length for a reason imo.

 

[that_1_grrrl]

You're exactly where my hair would be if it was relaxed. I'm so sick of this length.

But you will definitely be at full shoulder length by June 2009.

 

[ajacks]

I agree with beginning SL. Congrats!

You're definitely almost there! I would say another inch, MAYBE two. HHG!

In the front, maybe, but in back, I would go by the 1-mark on yoiur shirt in your siggy. Just because you may hit SL in the Back before you hit it in the front (you are similar to me in hair shape/cut).

 

[spacetygrss]

I'd say that you are full necklength. Another inch or so will put you at shoulder-length. Congrats and happy growing!

Kinda off topic: I think that one of the reasons that people say that it takes so long to go from shoulder to APL is because they claim SL really early. It adds a couple of months more to the journey.

 

[suburbanbushbabe]

Still neck length but almost there. An inch more maybe.

 

[moonglowdiva]

My hair is about that length and I say NL. But if you feel like it is SL then claim it.

 

[pri]

I think your SL but not FULL SL. I think once your hair and enough hair (which you have) hits a point whether at your shoulders,collar bone or arm pit you can claim it. Congrats girlie!

 

[taj]

I would say a nice full NL I would say another couple of inches would put you at SL

I agree!

 

[topnotch1010]

I think you are at the begining of SL. If it is touching your shoulder, as it seems to be, then its shoulder length. Claim it girl!

 

[Sarahh.]

Personally, I think neck length is when your hair reaches where your neck and shoulders join, shoulder length is where your collar bone and shoulders join and collar bone is the very lowest part of your collar bone. So I'd say you're neck length at the moment. Just my opinion.

 

[~*Tigget*~]

I voted no...but you don't have very far to go at all. Its grazin' enough you could claim it....but to OWN it, just a little more patience.

 

[locabouthair]

me and yu are the same length. I'd say you are NL and a couple of inches would make you SL.

 

[Junebug D]

You are NL and just grazing SL, IMO. Another inch or so?

 

[asummertyme]

Yeah, I would say necklength as well coming up on shoulder in a few inches..

 

[mistee11]

looks like grazing sl to me... regardless it looks healthy and lovely!
