Thought you guys might get a laugh out of this one I just discovered in the garage today. (The original paper print now all yellow and faded.) So, got my "Crayolas" sharpened and here is Justin in 1949 in Jaffrey New Hampshire colourized. Hair CAN change through the years. Mine was white when I was little. OMG.........where has the time gone! :-) Well, at least my mother wasn't giving me buzz-cuts even then.
oh, wait a minute.

Gee, thats not right either.
Oh, HAPPY NEW YEAR
Yay, have a good 2010 everyone, and may your hair reach your knees. (But only if you want it to.)

First, Happy New Year 2010!
My name is Chris, and I've been lurking around here for some time, and figured I'd make my presence known.
A little about myself: I live in the great (in someone's mind) state of New Tax-- er.. York near the capital of the state. I'm an avid skiier/snowboarder in the wintertime, and working on my Private Pilot-Glider license in the summer. I am also a General class Amateur Radio licensee, callsign KC2NIJ. I can be heard a lot on the local repeaters when I'm driving around town. For my day job, I'm the sixth generation of a locally owned lumber and building materials dealer, and I work every day to get to the point where I can look over it all and just relax for a couple of months (I'll need it by then LOL). Oh, I'm also a libertarian oriented conservative, meaning I say "whatever floats their boat" a lot. There's a whole littany of what I like to do that is enough to write a small book about, ranging from astronomy to whatever.
Anyways, I'm in the process of growing out my hair, and I'm currently at a few cm shy of full shoulder length. My eventual goal is mid-back. Of course I get the usual complaints about it and threats to kidnap me and shave it off, but I know they just like to nitpick. I generally try to keep it clean and under control, usually straightening it and tying it back loosely on occasion. Pics to follow soon.
I have to go to the movies now. We're seeing Sherlock Holmes. Hope to hear from people here, and maybe make new friends.
God bless.
Chris.
I've lurked here for some time, but never posted because I didn't know if I would lose interest or forget about the site or what have you. Anyway, I find myself coming back to it near daily, so I figured what the hell. In high school, some 15 or so yrs ago, I had pretty long hair. A 9-12 in ponytail easy! I cut it after growing it for about 2 yrs and sported the "uncle jessie" look haha. For the past 10 yrs I've been wearing extremely short, shaved with a #2 and faded around the back & sides. I've wanted to grow it long again for about 2 yrs now with an attempt or 2, but dreaded the daunting task of actually doing it! Being patient is easier said than done for me. I'm a spontaneous person who loves variety & change. Anyway, I made the decision to just do it and haven't had any kind of cut since very early July. I look like an idiot (but I love it) haha. Ppl just see & comment on the monstrosity they see now, but I see the end result! My goal is mid-back! July 10 '09 was my last cut and I have 3 1/2 inches (ill post a pic soon). It grows kinda fast, but its "spurty" for lack of a better term. It'll seem like its doing nothing, then shoot out an inch & a half haha! I'm a little frustrated cuz I don't particularly enjoy looking like a douche, but I absolutely refuse to cut it! The "get your hair cut, you would look hot again" comments don't bother me in the least. What frustrates me, is my hairs not there yet!! Lol Well, just wanted to say hey, and ill post again! (Won't be as long though haha)
Today:
"Hey longhaired fellow, you got any weed?"
"No"
"D***. I can't find any weed around here"
The guy asking me if I had weed was shorthaired and had a neatly trimmed beard. I really don't have any weed, but if I did, what kind of an idiot says "yes" to a perfect stranger 2 blocks from the court-house anyway?
Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Years! May it bring you prosperity, happiness and peace!
This is me 31 years ago with my hair below shoulder length. I will get all back and more!
I'm posting the photo of that longhair who saves whales.
I take full responsibility for the posting of this photo.
Now the target's on my back and I'm happy to make the sacrifice
They want a piece of me........BRING IT ON!!!!
Below is a comment from Yadgar.
Yes, I really like to see such "naturmensch" longhairs, literally immersed in nature, lightyears away from the often obese stay-at-home reality of nowadays' longhairs (myself being, sadly, no exception...) - but dreaming of real life and in fact living it are two different pairs of shoes!
See you in Khyberspace!

Hey. Posted in Oct, but. Last year, New Years day is when I made my decision to grow my hair back out. So, I thought it fitting to post my year relationship with my hair. It has not always been easy...but, it's a labor of love.
Happy New Year Folks
Doug
I've come a long way.
Well, perhaps everywhere else, but I sure can't detect it in this area. And when I got my coffee it had already "chilled-out." (More Like Dry Ice!) LOL :-)
Justin~
It's not a huge change, but it is growing! I bought some new hair toys today... more bandanas (now I have 9, in different colors. No more sweeping my hair out of my eyes every five seconds at work!) And, I (finally) got a wide-tooth comb, and a bottle of FX Silk Drops detangler to try out.
I really need to try to look more alive in these pictures. lol

Hello.
I am 52 years old and starting to grow my hair long again after 30 some years of keeping it short. I was in a commune for five years during the 70s and had long hair for most of the 70s, but cut my hair when I entered back into the "real" world. I have never liked having short hair and look forward to growing my hair long again. For good! Great website for those of us going back to our roots - no pun intended. Look forward to posting a long hair picture in about a year.
Rob.
Hi All!
This is my first post here. Glad I found this wonderful site for us guys who like long hair =)
Putting up a pic of me and my hair. Took it today. Ive been growing my hair for 6 months now. I looks like a 70´s hairstyle but its ok =) Its my natural color, and my fringe has a natural "root lift" so it looks a bit shorter than it actually is.
My Goal is Elbow length (or what is it called??)
Sorry about my bad english. Im from sweden.
Greetings from Jim // Jimho85
Have you guys ever watched Antiques Roadshow? There is an antique appraiser on there, his name is Noel Barrett. He will be 70 next september and he has a ponytail down to his mid back. Couple other appraisers are longhaired also. So as we know long hair holds no age limit.

Probably noone remembers me, but I just re-discovered this site and thought i'd post an update pic.
Taken 6 months ago at my wedding, also the drinking horn is mine.
Some of you probably might not remember but last year I posted a pic on December 20th showing my hair length at that time and now I'm going to post the same type of pic just over a year later taken today.In this pic taken in 2008 Scott thoughtfully made a hash mark showing exactly where my hair ended then.So now this is the ultimate comparison and I'll let you all make the call.

Check out this news article:

It seems like the more south you go in the US, people become more intolerant of long hair on men. By the way, this tot had curly hair.
Matthew
Yet another disgusting maneuver by the twisted mind that banned long hair on men in North Korea...

If only America picked its battles based on morality rather than profitability, Kim Jong would have been taken out years ago.
