hello
Anybody like a femmin long hair styl for a men?
Exmpl. buns,ponytails,etc..
Hi all, I never thought I'd put pics of myself up, but because of my positive responses that I got last time, I figured I'd put some new ones up. I just took these this morning. I seriously considered cutting it before I made my last post, but this is the longest I've ever had it in my life, I don't think it looks to bad. If you remember my last post, I talked about how I was worried that my hairline was receeding and how it looks thin in the front, the way that I took these pics were I took them kinda from the side where I think it looks thin, does it look noticeable from my pics? I was thinking that parting my hair and wearing it like this might contribute to that, but I'm not sure yet. I take horrible pics, so I hope these aren't to bad. Anyway, to view them just copy and paste the URL. I hope you all had a great holiday and Happy New Year.

ok Im back from mexico, the bus ride was over 30 hours! needless to say I had a lot of time to reflect on stuff, like how far my hair has come, its never been this long before, in the past the longest I went without cutting it was only 2 years, this time its been since january of 2000 since my last cut so you do tha math, its past mid back now and now whats happening is that it seems harder and harder to wear it down, while in mexico one thing that happened that was new was that while I was running up some stairs i sort of lost my balance and brushed up against the wall, and it pinned about 5 inches worth of my hair between it and my arm! it didnt hurt or do any damage but it was just the weirdest feeling because this was so new to me, now Im starting to wonder how itll be when its longer, Im gonna post some newer pics later once I get them developed. I also saw several cousins who at one point started growing their hair long, but now had short hair, now leaving me to be the only guy with long hair in the family. its kinda wierd but they treat me normaly which is cool of them cuz I know I really look freakish compared to them. the only one who made a negative coment about it was my nephew whose only about 5, but I managed to shut him up, so all in all it was an excellent trip!
oh and as for the harsh water over there, heres what I ended up doing, I got a leave in conditioner called infusium 23 and it worked like a charm, it made it alot easier to comb and kept it from frizzing up so much.
Also on a sidenote, here in the US people usually tell me my hair looks really nice, but over in mexico its barely considered average, a lot of people over there have excellent hair, capable of making the fattest and longest braids Ive ever seen! I even saw women in there 70s with grey hair that was still past there waist! it was just unreal, heres my theory, beans! beans are supposed to be a good source of biotin(I think), lol, who knows.
Following from previous questions and replies, it would be interesting to see the opinions of the many women who read and smaller number who post to this board.
So, assuming that you are here because you like long hair on men:
1. What is, for you, the best length for men?
2. What style(s) do you like best?
3. What style(s) do you dislike?
4. Have you any preference for curly/straight hair or any particular colo(u)r?
5. Any other comments?
If you're interested...
Not the best pics, but I will get better ones taken soon.
Hi,
I went to a hairloss discussion board very similar to this to ask for advice on my receeding hairline and I put pics of my hairline up and I also put pics of how I normally look when I wear my hair normal because if you look at me you really can't tell I have a problem yet. Well instead of getting advice, 2 ppl replied and blasted me. One guy told me I look like a good looking guy but I need to get rid of my "girly hair" and I'd look much better. The other said pretty much the same, said he can tell I'm a very good looking guy but my hair looks horrible and I'd look great with short hair, now mind you, I don't care what some bald guys say, but I can almost guarantee that if they had a chance to have hair like mine instead of noticeable baldness and bald spots I'm sure they'd take it in a second. Anyway I just had to vent, does my hair look that bad? If so, please keep the comments not to bad because my self esteem is kinda hurting now, lol
If the url doesn't come up, just copy and paste the link it should work that way.
I was wondering if sherri is the only woman that writes here and if this is pretty much 'just for men'?
I went ahead and created a weblog site in which I plan to use for my journey (Diary) of growing my hair long. For now I posted a couple of recent pictures that were taking yesterday over at my in-laws house. I did have my wife trim my hair about a week before Thanksgiving to even it out. Anyways enjoy! I will keep it updated monthly with pics and plan to add most of my pics to this site. I don't have 2 pictures in my house where I look the same in, so it should provide some sort of entertainment in seeing me with many different lokks with different length hair and styles with different facial hair appearances.

I just wnated to take this opportunity to wish you all a happy and healthy new year. I'd also like to thank everyone (especially Victor - for developing and maintaining this site) for just being here.
Your words and pictures have been the incentive I needed to finally commit to growing my hair long. And although it's only long enough now for a 4" ponytail, it's a start, and I love it. I know I'm on my way to having the waist-length hair I've always dreamed about having, and all of you have been instrumental in making it a reality for me.
So I thank you and wish you all the best in the new year.
Well, my bro has been trying to grow his hair long for a few months now. And I always see him reading posts in this site. At first he looked weird ( the awkward stage?). But now he's starting to look cool, and i think im gonna do the same. Dan just finished his journey, I think i'll start mine.
Hi i saw ur qestion about Sikhs and their hair on
http://the-light.com/mens/wwwboard.html
and i would be more than happy to explain to you i myself as a sikh have been growing my hair since birth and it comes down to my knees now. We are not allowed to cut any of our hair if we do so we might aswell cut all of it of because it is STRICTLY PROHIBITED to cut our hair this is a major rule of our religion that we must follow. All sikhs with a turban have thier hair tied up in a (JURA) english translation (BUN) on the top of our heads and then we tie our turban around the bun and i guess the up side to this is that if our hair does get damaged no one can see it beacuse it is all being covered by our turbans and another thing you said in one of your topics that sikhs have (extremely fine/breakable hair) when in fact our hair isnt like that at all it is quite strong and very very thick for example my little cousin started to grow his hair at the age of 5 and by the time he was 8 he had nice thick hair coming down to his waist and more qestions please feel free to ask thanks,

I dunno about everyone else, but I've noticed a change in attitude from my friends and family towards growing my hair. Apart from the ocassional light-hearted comment, my family and friends have turned full circle from being largely against long hair to being supportive and encouraging.
This was really hammered home to me the other day when my Mom, actually brought me a pack of hairbands! Its not like I sent her out for them, she just saw them and thought of me.
We had a post a few weeks ago which showed that most people's partners/wife's and girlfriends were largely very supportive, I wonder if its the same with family and friends?
Has anyone noticed a change in attitude from their friends or family? Or have you had to talk them around? Or do you just get zero support?
I normally dry with a soft towel, mostly with strokes and not much rubbing. Afterwards I part down the middle and comb and brush the sides and back straight. I've heard that you shouldn't comb while it's wet. Is this true, and why?

Hello. I was wondering about the best kind of oil to use to keep the hair moisturized and what is the best procedure for using this? Recently I've noticed my hair was dry. I think it's because I slept right after taking a shower so I'm going to be more careful about letting it dry first next time. It seems my hair looks best after several days of not washing it. I usually will just water wash my hair the few next couple of showers after I shampoo it. But this time the water washing for some reason made it dry. Next time I'll wait longer until I do the water washing. Thanks for your responses! They are all very helpful! Also where can I get the cloth ties to pull my hair back?
Hello long haired ones,
I am intending to grow my hair until it reaches about shoulder length.
Trouble is, I usually get fed up with it long before it gets there.
The reason why is because it is so thick..... I mean really thick.
I am in danger of looking like a 1980s "Dynasty" star and I don't mean the men either.
I am talking BIG HAIR here.
However,it is reasonably straight and could look good if only I can work out what do do with it for the best.
Any advice?
Should I have it thinned out or leave it growing?
Thanks.

Haha, I think I look pretty good in these pictures, but burst my bubble for me! :D Thanks guys!!

I know this sounds crazy, but has anyone ever found individual strands of their hair in perfect knots?
Its strange, this guy is probally the most photographed guy in newspapers, and his hair has always looked great wether it was short, medium or long.
He seems to have never gone through this awkward stage that has plagued me!
It wasn't too long ago his hair was quite short.
Hi as you all know that I am a sikh and my hair length is 66 inches, I would tell you that it is very true that girls really like long haired men. And from my experiece I can tell you that when ever I am not at work or I am at home its only for my wife I have to keep my hair loose falling on my back.In night its only for her I have to keep my hair loose because she takes my whole length in her hand and sleeps. And I have found that taking care of my hair has become her regular routine in her daily life.She used to detangle,brush my hair in the night before going to bed she do different hairstyle with my hair.(Most of the time my hair is loose falling on my back or in a bun). She applies hairoil in my hair and massage in my scalp gently washes my hair twice a week with shampoo and applies conditioner. In a simple word she does every thing that is required to maintain long hair. But she also have a very long hair nearly of my length and some times I also do the same thing to her hair.
I think I want to grow my hair out, but I need help. What about sideburns? Just how short should I cut them? Right now they are about half an inch to 3/4 down from the top of my ears. Whatever help i get is appreciated. Thanks
