Hi all,
After a busy period I’m back.
Still growing my hair, here is my 16 months update. Really happy with my progress!
Starting to look like a real longhair again :)
It’s still a bit damp from the shower this morning so slightly less volume and a bit darker. I always let it air dry.
Included ponytail and bun pictures as well.

Hi everyone,
Before getting started, I just wanted to say that it saddens me a little to see so little activity on our new version of the MLHH, Both Jesus, and also Mark, have worked long and hard to improve our site, and make it more appealing as well to the “newer” guys growing their hair out. It’s hard to compete with social media these days, but there’s something special about this little place. It’s small, but has a homey feel, and I’d hate to see it die.
Now onto my main post. Today, I turned 73, and am pleased to say that I still have a lot of hair. With the recent heat and humidity, it does have some bad effects on my hair, such as frizz, but it also has the effect of “cranking up the volume”.
Photos 1 and 3 are photos I took yesterday, when the humidity was doing its thing. It’s a lot of hair, lol! Sorry for the hair over one eye thing, but I wanted to show the thickness better that way.
The second photo shows me about to dig into a feed of clams and chips at a nearby restaurant. My brother took me there for clams, and then we had home made cheesecake afterwards.
On a further note, please note that the photos are out of order. I wanted to put the two hair photos first, and the clams photo third. However, the site didn’t upload the first one properly the first time, and I had to add it again, this time as the third photo.
Thanks for reading!

Hello everyone,
Yesterday I went to the birthday party of a good friend, a person I chat to quite often while walking on the trail close to my home. Her mom lives near the western end of my province, and we did the roughly 3.5 hour drive to meet her mom and some family for her party.
While there, her mom did this braid for me. I had never considered my hair thick in back, but my friend’s mom was impressed with how thick it actually is. My hair is very fine, and although I have a lot of it, the fact that it is fine doesn’t allow the thickness to really show. The braid isn’t especially thick, but overall, it doesn’t look too bad.
The second photo is a full length photo of me standing by the shore, not too far from where my friend’s mom lives. My hair, now in a ponytail, is pulled over my shoulder.
Thank you for reading!

Recently posted a quick update video on my YouTube channel doing just a little bun drop! It's fun doing them now and looking back and forth long my hair has grown. Still hoping to grow it more but I really love where it's at right now. I'll post a link to that video below, and I'll also post a picture of my hair from the front! Happy growing!

On a dark environment I used flashlight of my phone and took the photo with my camera.
It's also when I saw the shadow of my ponytail that I got the idea of the logo of my head with ponytail and that I used as a pendant necklace.
Hi everyone,
Just posting my August update. Not a dramatic change from last month - until my hair reaches my chin I don't think I'll feel like I've made a lot of progress, but here's where I am at :)
Hope everyone is doing well!

Hi,
I'm doing a trip to Spain to see the solar eclipse in the area where the eclipse is full. I had driven all day and now I'm at the hotel. I had a shower and I'm going to sleep because it's 00:49 AM.
Good night. I always sleep like this.
Just some progress pictures with my recent hair growth.
It’s coming along nicely around 14 months of growth now, with last trim 10 months ago.
Almost everything can fit in a ponytail but I wear it loose 99% of the time. In the past it was the other way around wear a ponytail 99% of the time. Really enjoying my hair now.
Only thing I’m concerned about is my hairline is moving up and it get’s thinner at the edges. Hopefully I can enjoy longhair for a long time but I will have to see if my hair allows. For now it’s barely noticeable but is does concern me.
Hello everyone,
Yesterday after washing my hair and allowing it to air dry, I thought that it looked half decent, so I made a short video. I hope that this YouTube link works, and that it works as a clickable link. With my 73rd birthday right around the corner, I’m happy to have so much of the stuff, lol! Also, please excuse the noise in the background, which is the combined ticking of over 30 clocks. I wasn’t going to stop every one of them only to have to start them all up again afterwards!
Thanks for watching!

Hello everyone,
I have been asked a number of times to post a ponytail photo, especially on another site where I post. I never take a particularly good ponytail photo, have been avoiding the issue, but “for the record “, I will include one here. I did it by the old “reflection in the mirror” technique, and my apologies for the poor quality photo. I live alone, so don’t have anyone around to take a “proper” photo. Maybe I can get a better one posted later.
Thanks for reading!
David
