Giraffe neck....

[EMJazzy]

I was wondering if anyone else has a long neck like me....when I was a young girl one of my brother's used to call me giraffe neck. I would get mad at him but quite frankly he's right.... I measured it and it's 4 3/4 inches long with a neck that long my hair has to travel farther for me to reach my bsl goal. erplexed From crown to bsl for me is 25 1/2 inches.

Anyone else?

Yeah, and it's funny cause I have a long neck and a round face... Picture that. I look like a freakin stick figure.

EMJAZZY,

This is funny to me because I was just thinking about this yesterday when I took my hair out of braids to start doing wash and gos. With the shrinkage and my long 4 1/2 inch neck, my hair looks super short to me (it's 5-6 inches all over...maybe 3-4 inches w/shrinkage).

I was thinking that if my neck was shorter and I was shorter (I'm 5'7) my hair would look a lot longer. I'm thinking of rockin a fierce pony puff instead of a wash and go so I can work with my giraffeness and show it off .

Hey my neck was also called "giraffe neck"
It has it's advantages and disadvantages.

Hmmm, I have the opposite problem. I feel like my neck is soooo short Whenever I snap a hair shot I always stretch my neck because I don't believe that I'm getting a true measurement. I see ladies with shoulder length hair and it saddens me because my hair is below shoulder length and it doesnt seem as long as these ladies hair. I think my neck is like 3 inches.

This is me all the way, I like my long neck though . I must say it made getting to BSL a whole lot harder . I have a short torso, but because my neck is long BSL is about 25 inches.

I am not very tall, but I do have a long neck. It used to bother me, but now I realize that it is longer to have a long neck than no neck.

I have a long neck, too. Although, it's somewhat disproportionately thin. I rather like it, though, because it makes me distinctive. It’s why I prefer up-dos and necklace chokers to show it off. I’m not very tall, about 5’5”, but I feel more graceful with my "swan" neck. If my hair has to travel a little further, to me it’s always been a fair trade-off. Many cultures around the world love long-necked sistas!

I feel ya! Mine is over 4 inches long also. When I was younger, my uncles used to call me "Gooseneck". However, I've always considered it one of my best assets, and my man adores it too... So what if we have an extra inch or two to cover to BSL, etc. It's all good!

It's called a glamourous neck and I would love to have one. I think no necks is very unattractive.
