I'm never gonna reach apl it seems. :rolleyes: It finally dawned on me the reason it's taking so long is because I've got a long neck. I guess that's going to drag out my other goals, too. (growls under her breath)
Ah, the agonies and joys of this journey...........:)

I'll trade you, my neck is short, and so is the rest of me, lol. I'll probably reach my goals quickly, but now I am starting to wonder if I will be able to do the "waist length" styles when I am waist length, or if my hair will be too short inches-wise. :/

Oh no, having a long neck is a good thing! Think how gorgeous you'll look with an elegant updo with your swan neck!
I have ridiculously long legs, so getting from classic to knee is taking forever!

I enjoy having my long neck! :cheese:
It seems to take forever to reach APL with a long neck, but once it gets there, everything is smooth sailing from there. Plus, when you get to waist length, etc, you technically have more inches of hair. So it's a convenience once it starts to get longer!

Yeah this is my worry too.

You and I seem to have the same problem!
I keep wondering these other people I see on here can have 21" hair that's APL or even getting on toward BSL... My danged neck is too long!! I think that's the problem, anyway. Maybe I also have an extra-large head or something too, who knows. Either way, it IS irritating.

I have a fairly average neck but I have a freakishly long torso so for me getting from BSL to waist is taking forever. but I have enough inches to do a lot of neat waist length up-dos already so do not fret too much. you'll get there just like I will eventually.

A long neck is wonderfully elegant! You're very lucky. Updos will look great on you - very Audrey Hepburn.

I love thistles!
I have a long neck too and I know what you're talking about. But after it grows to your shoulders, it will take just about as long to get to APL as someone who has a shorter neck. According to your photo, I'd say you're there.
Mine's going to take forever because I have about 15 inches of damaged hair (just about all of it) that will have to be cut off eventually. So I'm starting at a 2 year handicap....but it is a start.

I am 6"6' (198cm) and have curly hair, so I have to wait even longer. But what helps me is that I think how beautiful it will look if I do reach that goal. Perhaps that will help you too?

Heh, I was barely past shoulder length when I joined, and my hair measured almost 20". My neck is freakishly long -- I noticed it again in a picture my husband took for my blog last night. It makes it easier to wear turtlenecks and long earrings, though.

I'm very long waisted so waist length will take me for-ever!

I feel your pain. While my long neck is fine by me, my long torso is really aggravating me - 35 inches and only waist length! I'll be really impressed if I ever manage to get to classic :(

I've got the long neck thing going on too. I'm finally at 19" and am only at shoulder length.

Me too! I have a long neck and legs - thankfully though, my torso seems to be pretty average, and my waist is high up, so I can cheat those inches later on in this hair journey:cheese:

Ah, the long neck doesn't add that much.
And long necks are beautiful.
In fact, everyone's beautiful.

me too, realy...
I have a long neck too :)
And, like the others said: when you reach APL, you will have more cm'ers, and maybe you'll be able to do more styles then other's on the same lenght.. :) (I am :lol: , @ bsl)
I understand it is frustrating, but just hold on, you will reach it, and then you'll be twice as happy because that part of hair-growing-difficulties-and-angers are over :)
