I could not agree with you guys more!
I know this is a long hair forum, so the main focus is on length
But for me it is always about silky, thick, holdable/bite-able hair. Length is great but it comes further down the list.
The longest of hairs on here actually do nothing for me. If it reaches the floor and is scraggly and thin for the last few inches, get rid of them and make it healthy looking. I want to know that when I pull it, it will survive and not break at the ends.
