Forty-three centimeters.

Spanky's right, the poll options are silly. Everything is either some degree of buzzcut/90th percentile or a vague 'everyone who doesn't have a crue cut'.

To the top of my shoulders, whatever that is. I think a rough guess would be maybe 20-25cm.

Right now, it's probably about three inches long. I'm going to get a haircut soon, though; it's starting to get too unwieldy. When I get a haircut, I take my hair down to just over an inch, and because it's so thick, it stands up straight.
A Government founded upon justice, and recognizing the equal rights of all men; claiming higher authority for existence, or sanction for its laws, that nature, reason, and the regularly ascertained will of the people; steadily refusing to put its sword and purse in the service of any religious creed or family is a standing offense to most of the Governments of the world, and to some narrow and bigoted people among ourselves.

Ponytail goes about 40+cm... Haven't had haircut after army, trying to see how long it grows before I get annoyed enough with it.

I dunno... something like four centimeters. I need it cut though, owing to the fact that I have slightly receding hair and long hair just makes me look like a younger Bill Bailey.

To compare: Once scruffy and long. Before my hair started receding noticibly.

Now it looks sort like this, and that's tidied up a bit. If it blows around and stuff it looks worse. So a big bleh.

So now I kinda have it like this most of the time, looks tidier and strangely makes it appear as though I have more hair than if I grow it out.

Um... possibly more information than any of you needed, but... meh... :)

I cut my own hair, and keep it between roughly 3 mm and 10 mm. Letting it grow out only enhances the fact that I'm pretty bald. I've gone right down to the wood, but something about that just doesn't feel right.

Down to my nipple/small of my back with some nice big half curls/waves towards the end. Unfortunately, this'll suffice until I can get to a tape measure.

Mine alternates between 1cm and ~6cm depending on when I can be bothered about getting it cut.

Currently about 4 cm. I shave it all, grow it out to about 10 cm, and repeat. The sideburns are currently around 5 cm.

I'm in the army, so I have to keep my hair short. I cut it to about 1 cm and let it grow the rest of the week.

I put 0-1, but now that I think about it, maybe 1-2 would be a better answer.

My hair is about 40 cm long, I suppose? It's very fine and it easily breaks and splits, or else it would be quite a bit longer.

Probably just over 5cm - if I pull a curl down it'll reach past my nose.

In high school I started wearing my hair long, like 30cm or so if you pulled it straight. But I have really thick and coarse hair that makes big ringlets as it gets long, and it always felt warm and heavy. Sometime in college my buddies dared me to cut off my hair and I never looked back. I had a shaved head for a little bit but people told me I looked scary (how, I have no idea... I'm a little guy). So now it's buzzed to about 1cm or so, growing to a little less than 2cm in between cuts.

Assuming the "number 1, 2, 3, etc." things on clippers are in centimeters, I usually sport about 1cm along the sides and back and 3cm along the top. Though I did get it cut to 1/2cm at Knox (and whatever the length of the top was, they never did tell me) and I rather liked it that way. As soon as I get my ID card I'll just get the "standard military cut" on base (then again, since all I have is an AFB here, that may be longer then I had before :) ). It's cheaper and I like the way it looks.

(I know it'd be cheaper to do it myself, but the last time I tried that it ended up...badly. So now I'll just pay 8 bucks for the people at MacDill to do it)

57 cm or thereabouts. It doesn't seem to want to get any longer.
