I want to dye my hair black (which was its original color). Two dyes have been recommended - Restoria Discreet and Godrej Expert. Any thoughts on these?
Since I'm on Christmas break, I have been washing my hair with soft water the last few days and my hair looks better and feels smoother than ever, which motivated me to snap a picture and show all of you. I didn't know there was such a noticeable difference until I had experienced using hard water for a few months and then switched back.
I usually wear my hair in a segmented ponytail to keep it from tangling so much. I wash it every other day with a baking soda solution and follow up with apple cider vinegar and sometimes a bit of jojoba oil in the ends.
Let me know what you guys think!
The outcome of +8 years of saving. Quite a few haircuts as well, but never more than 10cm. I'm now considering shaving it off, mainly cause I'm tired of washing, drying, combing; you name it. A horrible idea?
Sorry for the egregious lighting...one of these days I'll get a daylight picture in a more interesting (outdoor) setting. Washed, detangled, combed out. Still gaining length slowly.
Hello all fellow longhair friends. Just wanted to wish each and every member and their families a Happy and safe New Year! Please be safe on New Year's eve!

I love wearing long hair down in winter. I know that the dryness is not entirely good for hair, but I think that long hair not only makes for cheap earmuffs, but also the best earmuffs.
Hey everyone. I recently decided to grow my hair back out. I had it somewhat long a few times when I was younger, but usually cut it before it got to where I wanted it.
I have had it short now for a few years, and am now in the earliest phase of growing it back out.
This time I won't cave like I have in the past. I realize I'll have to go through quite a long period of dumb looking hair but that's a small price to pay.
I have a few pics I'd like to post, one of me now, one of me a few years back before I gave in and cut my hair, and one of what my goal is.
I'm not sure I can do it all in one post. I'm unfamiliar with this type of format so I'll have to learn as I go, or I'll post the pics in follow up posts if necessary.
Oh, and the last pic is some dude from some show on channel 11. When searching through pics of the style you want, you get a ton of famous people, or models.
I felt an explanation was in order, lol.
Anyway, here are the pics....now, before, and what I'm aiming for.
Any estimates on how long you'd expect to go from pic 1 to the last pic?

Hi there,
I had a caricature drawn yesterday at the British Beard and Moustache Championships in Brighton and was to raise money for charity.

Freshly washed and blown dry. I"m at the point where I'm starting to feel like I have long-ish hair!
Something weird is going on with me that's causing my hair to become thinner and more fragile. I'm also growing more hair on my chest and belly and my face is breaking out in worse acne than it has had in several years. I'm 21, so I should be through with puberty. Does anyone have any idea what is wrong and what I should do?
Hei everybody!
I've been reading these boards for a few months silently now, and thought now might be just as good a time as ever to introduce myself and start getting some support on my very own long hair journey :)
Name's Raul, I am 29 and have been a semi-long haired dude most of my life. Back when I was a kid, I always tried growing my hair long, only for my father to cut it all off after a year or so, since he didn't want his son to look like a girl... lovely, I know, hehe.
The one time I really went through with it, was right after having finished my service in the IDF back in 2005. That was also the time I left Israel for Norway, a place I love with all my heart... but the point here, was that I didn't get a haircut for well over 2-2.5 years I think... and my hair was under shoulder length for the very first time in my life! Together with the beard I was sporing, I was naturally nicknamed JESUS... hehehe.
Then came the semi haircut to shoulder length (self made, one motion of the scisscors), and of course, a few weeks later, the short hair was back. Lots of complimets from the girls, a few years working as a model, and all around poisitive reaction to my short hair.. but for me, something was missing.
Since then I believe I went half-heartedly through it at least a dozen times, always giving up to pressure from a girlfriend and cutting it in a trendy short cut after 6-10 months of growth.
Well, back on November 27th, exactly a month from today, I decided that this time around, I DO want to experience having long hair again, and I WILL make it no matter what!
My hair was cut in an uneven cut, with jaw long hair on the right side of my head, and shaved hair on the other side. Trendy, but no as easy to grown out form. So I went ahead and cut it all off. Around 1 inch on the top of my head, a bit less on the sides and back. Damn, I felt like i was back in junior hight again :P
It's been a month now, and my hair is indeed growing, something that's rather easy to see in these early stages of growth. around 2 inches on the top of my head, and around 1 on the sides and back... I know this will take a long ass time in order to get back to a pony tain again, but hey, I've discovered a couple Beckham inspired beanies I really like, and I live in the cold frozen north after all, using beanies through the awkward stage shouldn't be so tough :)
My hair type is thick, "airly" (or better said fluffy), and rather oily, from what I can remember. I also sometimes have troucle with dry-calf, and therefore use the apporpriate products to prevent it.
From what I can remember, my hair seems rather straight at first, but is EXTREMELY curly after a while, and when in long state, is perfectly straight on top, and extremely curly at the bottom (thanks to the weight), so the idea right now is considering some sort of an anti-perm or something when the time comes, since I really don't want to deal with the huge curls at the bottom.
I am hereby adding 3 pics for you guys to see.. one from my days with long hair (and keep in mind in that picture, the only one I still have, it has been recently straight-ironed!), the other from a couple months back, with my a-symmetric style, then another from x-mas eve 2012, just 3 days ago :)
Hope to learn much from all you wonderful people here at this great board, and hope to god this time I make it back to long hair again! ;)
Raul.

Hello My Fellow MLHHers,
May you all have a safe and joyous holiday with your families and friends! Please be safe and kind to one another! Stay away from the candles and scissors!
Sincerely, Ted
i've been reading a lot on this board lately about what a difficult some of you have been having with detangling after washing. granted, my hair isn't as long as some of yours, mine is currently just past my shoulders by a few inches, but i always put it in a pony tail before i wash/shower. then i take it out of the tail and let it dry naturally. i never have any tangles. maybe when my hair gets to at least mid-back instead of shoulder length, i may have your problems, but, as of now, it works for me.
Holiday Greetings to all at MLHH. I hope your holiday is all you want it to be. About this time every other year or so I get a short haircut..and then grow it out for another two years or so...I guess I enjoy the journey rather than the destination.
Happy Holidays...

Fellow longhairs.
I've been monitoring your board for quite awhile now and have learned quite a deal on managing long hair. I'm 54 and a bit too young to be a hippie but I have had long hair most of my life. I went to a private high school where there was strict rules over long hair on men. When I graduated it started growing and I haven't let up since. It's as long as it will ever get at my age. I have a question to ask. My hair gets extremely tangled when I get up in the morning. As I've added on the years it's gotten more kinky than it was when I was younger. Any of yall use a particular spray or 'additive' to lessen this? I wear it in a braid but it's a bitch to braid my own hair! Any other alternatives yall have tried?
Much obliged.
As most of you know I have super long hair. Recently, I have been having severe shedding when washing my hair. It sheds little between washings. This most recent wash I lost 770 milligrams of hair. Is it a shampoo allergy? I just don't know. All those shed strands get wrapped around healthy growing hairs, tearing some of them out too.
My question is what triggers severe shedding? I need to know all known causes so I can get a handle on this and how to put a stop to it, permanently. Otherwise, I am going to have to trim back from knee length to waist or low back length to put a stop to all the damage caused by shedding. I rarely ask for help, but I really need advice on this.
I tried going water only back in 2008 and that triggered severe shedding.
The tangles shown in the photo do not respond to starting at the ends and working my way up. The comb just jams when I reach the tangle caused by all the shedding. The hairs wrap around each other with knotting. This can take hours to fix, and I am really frustrated. I have fine hair with some wave, making it far less than ideal to grow to extreme lengths.
