In her teenage years, it appears to be waist length.  I don't know if she cut it after that or not.

Ania Vyrubova wrote this I think. In one photo of the 1891 shooting from the Renaissance fancy dress ball one sees the length quite good for she is not wearing the hair up

look here:

I'm pretty sure it's her hair - it's darker than the rest but I think it's her hair at almost full lenght (not counting the fact that she has sorta pony tail here) - and she's very young in the picture, so I suppose that when she was a tsarista, her hair was even longer!
