Mine is long - growing it out a little longer than usual so I can donate to Locks for Love. It's between bra-strap and waist-length right now. When it hits the waist, 10 inches will go, but still will be well below shoulders. I usually keep it just long enough that I can tie it in a self-sustaining bun, so I can twist it up out of the way whenever/wherever I want.
Every May, I get it cut to a certain length - this is just long enough for the aforementioned bun, but short enough so that when I wash it in the sink at the Bright Angel campground at the bottom of the Grand Canyon, the ends don't touch the bottom of the sink which invariably has a few stray macaroni's left in it from someone else's dinner mess. Gross!
For 3 days, I get to part of a thousand other journeys.
