The hair lengths are broadly divided into three groups: Short, Medium & Long. The thresholds for each are discussed below:
Short hair generally begins with baby hair, and the upper threshold resides between 10 to 12 inches (25-30 cm). Haircuts like Pixie, Bob, Buzz, Crop, etc. are the prominent haircuts of this length.
You can call your hair medium once it crosses the length of short hair. The range of this particular length of hair is between 12 to 18 inches (30-46 cm). Armpit-length hairstyles like Long Pixie, Shag, Mullet, Layered, etc. are the most common styles for this length.
Once your hair crosses the medium hair boundary, meaning if your hair is longer than 18 inches (46 cm), then you can categorize it under long hair. Any haircut reaching beyond your armpits belongs to this length group.
Based on the Hair Length Chart, you’ll get an approximate idea of your hair length. Although this isn’t completely accurate, it isn’t off much as well.
Straight and Wavy hair are quite similar in length, although Wavy hair can reduce up to 5% of its length while measuring in this method due to its nature.
And when it comes to Curly or Kinky hair, it becomes a little bit tricky. Because your Type 3 or 4 hair can coil up to almost 30% of your natural hair, it reduces the hair length by that margin.
So as opposed to the Straight Hair length, you have to add an extra 2-4 inches (5-10 cm) to compensate for that lost length due to curls.
Our chart below takes this factor into account and provides you with your approximate actual hair length for your Wavy, Curly or Kinky hair.
