Hi there,
Here's something that you might like to think about.
As most of us that regularly post and visit here alot, of the people that do visit the board are a good inspiration when it comes to growing out longhair.
One thing I've noticed about the celebrity world they are not very un-inspirational when you it comes to growing out hair for a long term. I suppose the only exception to that must be Johnny Depp as he's had longhair for quite a few years. Alot of them grow it out for the film they are in and then cut it. It's a good job they don't have a longhair category at the oscars!!!
It's so nice we have a positive oasis here and not ruled the world of hollywood thats for sure or that strange world of reality television (don't get me going on that).
Cheers,
John.B
Wishing all a great 2007!
The pic shows where I am at at the start of the new year and where I hope to at least be by the start of the next.
Thanks to all for the support that I - and everyone else here have received throughout the year.

I don't know about you but I'm seeing images of this famous longhair all over the place at this time of year. :-)
Hello there guys!
As promised, I finally decided to post pictures of my very first finished and hand made, oficial piece of clothing =)
Ther T-Shirt is a work for university, for the discipline of fashion design. The purpose was to build a t-shirt based on a main trend for this season (the trends were napoleonic, bubble, leyring, oversize and metallics). I picked up the bubble, and napoleonic.
Here's what I ended up with =) I am really happy with the results =P Sorry for the bad modeling lol hehe...
One of the shoulders is meant to be off of the shirt, and one sleeve is removable, and bubble shaped =)
Here's from the back
This one shows the possibility of geting the shirt straight in the body, and removing the bubble sleeve
Here it is =P
Just a more relaxed pose
And finally, somewhat artistic =P
Feel free to drop in all the coments, even if negative =) I want honest opinions =D
Thank's for reading, I hope you liked the pictures =) I'm glad I can post pictures twice this month hehe...
See ya!!
P.S. - The second part of this work will be a photoshooting with a t-shirt made by one of my classmates. I'll maybe post the pictures when I take them =) Ther model will be my long haired cousin Carina, from those pictures of beautyfull gorgeous long classic lenght hair I sometimes post =)
are they really needed? like when i first attempted to grow my hair in 2001, i grew it just past my chin and i never got a maintenance cut. i put gel in my hair and ripped thru it all the time yet it still grew. so why do some people say that if ur hair has spilt ends or gets damaged that it will just keep spilting and not grow any longer? if you have maintenance cuts, did you do it for looks or because u were afraid it wouldnt grow as fast or not grow at all?
Hello Everyone,
I'm here to tell you all my wishes for the BEST NEW YEAR for everybody!!!
Hi all, I'm new here. I've been growing my hair out for about 2 years now; it is close to reaching the bottom of my shoulder blades. Perhaps some of you have the same problem as I do, if it is even a problem worthy of attention. I've noticed that I'm shedding at an alarming rate (alarming in the sense that I didn't have the problem before). I often have to collect strands of fallen hair from the floor of my dorm room, and when I shower I usually lose 10-20 hairs (though it doesn't sound like much, it is still disconcerting). I'm only 20 and I doubt that it's male balding pattern, as I'm not losing that much hair. Does this mean that the fallen hair have reached their terminal lengths, which would indicate that I'm not destined to grow my hair out to an originally-desired length (lower back)?
For a long time now my hair has been getting thinner and looks, well, crap. My hair is naturally thin and fine anyway, but I am almost certain I have dermatitis/seborrheic ezcema on my scalp which I believe has contributed heavily to further loss. Whether through traction or the condition itself, I shed a fair amount and as a result my hair is a mess of short and long hair strands. Sadly even a significant trim would still leave me with the same mess since it's not just a matter of thin ends, it's the whole 'do. It is yet to be diagnosed by a doctor but I had eczema as a kid, and my brother has the same scalp condition, so it makes sense. I would settle for a trim and stay at shoulder length while treating it, but...
...I may lose the hair altogether for convenience purposes. Basically, I want to delve heavily into fitness and martial arts. In the past 18 months I have found myself holding back the frequency of workouts due to the inconvenience of washing my hair all the time. For example I favour early morning cardio but I can't possibly wash my hair at 7am and be ready for classes by 9am without enduring more hassle than I'm prepared to put up with. The same goes for any other last minute situations during the day. Long hair would also prove fairly troublesome with martial arts.
On the down side, my hair is part of who I am. When I started growing it was an image thing but now I really don't see myself with short hair; it would feel wrong. While I don't care about looking good, that doesn't mean I want to look stupid which is how I feel currently about my hair.
Also, I think I use the length of my hair to show others how long I've gone without a cut, like it's a contest. I most certainly don't like the idea of throwing away 40 months of growth in a matter of minutes, but I may benefit from ridding myself of this 'trimless streak'. I'm too attached I can't envision myself going through with it, however.
One thing for certain is that I need about 6 inches taken off to neaten it up and re-adjust to my current taste in length. September 2003 was my last cut of any kind, so I'm overdue. It is mid back at the moment so I will probably take it up to the shoulders to see how I feel, then depending on how manageable it is decide what to do from there. In the event that I do cut it all off, I am sure I will regrow it to about 10 inches once my scalp is fine, and I have my fitness goals nailed.
I'm sure this post isn't very fluid, it is nearly 2am and I'm throwing my thoughts out as they come.

How do i post more than one picture in one post.

Hello all.
As I am on vacation (teachers get some nice vacation time -- even if we put in the hours during the school year to pay for them -- and, since I am off, I haven't been doing the "wet, condition, pat with towel, add defrizzing agent (or extra conditioner), and finger style and shake" routine. Instead, I've simply been tying a bandana underneath the groth at the back and letting the curls sneak out of the holes in the back. I am really liking this style. (Too bad that I can't wear it to teach like this.)
Just thought I'd share.

OK guys (and you wonderful gals who also take part); this Old Fat Fart has reached the one year mark. Just turned 53 before Christmas and still plugging away.

I was just lying on the couch finger combing some tangles out of my dry hair when I noticed my wife looking at me with a very strage expression; a mix of disgust, awe, and fear. Naturally I took a picture of what she was looking at, at what inspired such a reaction.
I find it rather humourous. (Though it is a photo-testamonial about why us curly hairs aren't really to comb our hair....unless one WANTS to look like this.)
Cheers, all.

During the the 1 1/2 year that I spent visiting this board, I've noticed that many of us speak more than one language (some of you fluently lol).
I guess I'll go first--I'm from USA
Let's see if this will appear this time
And the newest member: Boudreaux
WOW!! I much appreciate everyone's kind comments to my thread about almost being at belt-length. If I wasn't so short on time recently, I'd reply to everyone individually; but the next best thing is to answer some of your questions here in this thank you thread...
First, re. my hair color: no, I don't color it at all, or add any highlights that aren't my own by good ol' Mother Nature. Don't remember who asked about that; but there's your answer (lol)!!
This pic I hope to include will show you that my so-called "platinum blonde" streaks are really just the white hairs I have coming in through hard-earned geezerhood!
DavidN asked a question about what my length was at 2 &1/2 years of growth. My answer is that I think it was at about the same length as yours is currently!
To Big George: I love love LOVE your idea of wearing one of those ultra-wide Texas-style belts, --- and yes, then I could indeed say my hair was already "belt-length" (lol)!!
Bragi, WOW, a poem, --- I'm HONORED (and it's a fun one, too)!!!!!
Peter73: my hair is darker-looking in that recent pic (as opposed to my avatar pic), because it was taken very late in the day (just before sunset, instead of mid-day on an overcast day, which happened when my avatar pic was taken). I tease about only stepping outside in public around sunset-time, so I can stay "forever blonde" (instead of the greying guy I really am)!
Thank you all again!!

Just wondering what your highlight or milestone was for this year? My 2006 milestone was my first visit to a hair salon....and it was fantastic. Up to that time, I had always trimmed my own hair or had a friend help. I was referred by a friend whose girlfriend owned the salon. I got a shampoo, great conditioning, trim and style...a wonderful experience. I plan on returning next summer. So, how about you? What was your 2006 milestone?
