My hair has started growing more quickly lately, I think it  loves summer. So much so that I can notice my growth, which never happens. What I was getting around to is...My hair is about 30 inches now, which I am excited about because after I cut my hair a while ago I was very sad. But I am 5'9", so 30 inches isnt that long on me! I wish I were shorter! Anyone else feel this way or I am just really weird? :P

:-/ Sorry - I'm 5'3" - this is one of the few times being short is an advatage.

I'm 5' 8" so I feel your pain a bit.  Being tall is great though, and when you reach your goal you'll know how much longer it took, and appreciate it that much more.

That is my height too, I guess sometimes being short can be a good thing. ;)

LOL I never thought I'd hear some one say they wish they were shorter! I'm 5'5". I guess in the hair scheme of things, I can understand how you feel.

I'm 5'10'' so I can completely sympathize.  I was measuring my three year old niece's hair yesterday.  It is 16 inches, but it's past her mid-back.  If only there was a way to bottle kid's hair.

Another advantage of getting old -- we shrink, so our hair looks longer ;)

Yet another suggestion from the "you mother told you" files ...

Stand up straight, shoulders back and head back - give me an extra inch or more  ;D ...g

I gained back 1/2" of height with my second back surgery when they fused the back with rods and screws.   ;D  However, I don't recommend this method for increasing your height.  8)

I'm 5'2, even shorter without shoes, and I've heard people say shorter hair would fit my height better. I kind of wish I was taller, I wonder how my hair would look then...

well, the tall people are actually luckier.  On a 5 foot person, floor length hair is a lot less hair that on a 6 foot person!
;)

The short people only THINK they are getting to their goals faster cos they need less hair! hehe. Just teasing guys
:P

I'm only 5'7". I have a long torso, so this means it will take a longer time to get it to grow to my waist than other people. :P

Yeap! me! I have posted the exact same thing some time ago.  Though I am not ungrateful for what I was given, sometimes being a shorter woman helps heaps. Especially when wanting to brag about how long one's hair has grown  ;D ;D ;D :P
I suddenly remembered Charlene Tilton (sp??) Does anyone remember her? (really short with waistlength blonde hair actress from the 80's)

Yep - she was on Dallas.  Pretty hair, didn't care for her, however.

I'm 5'2" and have heard this also but I think that long hair can flatter any height!  I think it adds a little personality!

Actually BB, five foot 3 isnt short. Youre one inch below average. The avergae American woman is 5'4 and thats the tallest women have been on average. All this foot 7 stuff is just an ideal. So dont worry you're not short.

I agree- long hair suits any height, weight and body shape!  ;D

And age!  

Yes!

Actually, when I was walking home from train station today, I noticed this elder lady walking her dog. She had amazing, snow white, waist length thick hair in a ponytail. It was gorgeous- probably the guy who described woman's hair as her crowning glory had seen some hair like hers!
