    That is what I was thinking

    I'm an inch from my goal and I know I'm not going to stop there

    For me, there is no "too long". It's ankle length now, and I'm going to take care of it and see how long it goes. I'm a non-trimmer for spiritual reasons, so I'm not worried about how it looks to others. I do want it to look nice and healthy, but I want it to go as long as it wants to, even if it looks "straggly" to some.

    I guess too long is if my hair becomes so long it is unmanageable.
    I am growing to termini so hopefully each milestone is a blast not a pia.

    My goal is tailbone, but as I get closer, my goal might shift to classic... I'll see how well I handle tailbone. I'll keep trimming once I get there. Or maybe not... =)

    So far, the ends have gotten too mangled and tangly, causing me to cut back. My hair hasn't gotten "too long" yet. I believe that my inability to preserve the good condition of my ends will prevent me from experiencing "too long". Time will tell.

    I think that if it is longer than you are tall it might be a problem. It would be harder to have it down ever. But I want mine classic

    I think anything past hip length on me would be too long, but I haven't decided if that is hip length when curly or straight.

    Pretty much my thoughts, too.

    I have experienced too short (less than shoulder length was irritating. It was always in my way, but too short to get it out of my way.) I have not yet experienced "too long".

    First thought is that much beyond floor length might be a hassle...maybe. Stepping on it in the shower, wondering how clean the ends are if they've been collecting the dirty water...

    Then again, when my hair was waist length I wouldn't have realized how easy my hair is to deal with at this length, so I may have no troube at all.

    I have never seen hair that I didn't like because it was too long, as long as it was healthy.however, I personally do not care to have my own hair get longer than hip. I just don't want any more hair than that to deal with every day.
