Third time growing my hair out after cutting it back in 2016/2017. Hit the two year mark with no trims or cuts.
Hello.
Ive been growing my hair out for around 1y now. It´s getting to my shoulders. However, it is so thick and sturdy, I have this enormous amount of hair on my head, and it doesnt look that good. I always wear it in a bun, it looks pretty good like this. But I want to wear it open so bad! Do I have to be more patient till it gets longer or is my hair just not made for being long...
Your advice would be appreciated.
Still growing my hair and beard. No sign of stopping the growth of either.
Hey all,
Been over half a year since I've posted an update here (hah, that rhymes ;p !). Earlier this spring, there was a discussion on this board about barbers/hair stylists and whether to trust them or not. I took the stance that if you have a good one that you can trust, then all would be good. Man was I wrong ;p ! About a week after that thread, I had my first trim in a good while due to the pandemic. My ends were pretty damaged (away from regular trims - pandemic), so the hair stylist looked when I got there and said she'd only cut about two inches off. I swear it was four ;o !... lesson learned xD (you always know when a hair stylist has done something wrong when they hand you the mirror and immediately start defending themselves ~o~; !). Went from hair halfway down my back to just barely below the shoulders. Oh well ;o . . . . .
Distant history now ;p .
Mor recently and again - due to the pandemic, I began to again pull out a lot of hair due to split ends. My wife has been offering to trim my hair for over a year now, but I never trusted her to do it (after all, she is the one who did chop off my hair about five years ago in a fit of rage . . .). After my last experience with the hair stylist, having seen the job my wife does trimming the kids' hair, not wanting to pull out any more hair and not wanting to chance going out during the current covid surge, I decided to take a chance with her and have her do it - why not ;p ?... and what do you know - she didn't do too bad of a job ^^ ! She only took an inch (or less off), I believe :) .
She also introduced me to some leave-in conditioner. I've never really taken much good care of my hair until late... and to my surprise, my wife is now helping me with putting in the conditioner, too ;D (which I do every two nights -- I think she just wants my hair to look halfway decent - probably why ;p ). Funny stuff - the conditioner makes my hair straight on the first night and then back to naturally wavy on the second... go figure ;p .
The attached was taken a few days ago and not too long after the first trim she gave me. I am a bit surprised with how it looks - pleasantly surprised, actually :) (I thought it would be a lot worse off than it really is). I haven't regained all of the length that I lost this spring - but man, my hair is in much of a better place than it was a half a year agi :) ... pretty happy ^^ !
Anywho, I hope you all are staying safe 'n healthy during this dark winter and happy 2021 in advance ^^ !... it can't get here soon enough ;p !
Cheers all ^_^ ~

Hello Fellow Long Haired Dudes
This is my 4th and last long haired journey, hopefully I will go to grave with it. If I don’t lose it. Which I currently have have suffered a bald spot on back of my head. I was a poster here 10 years ago but had to cut it due to economics and society’s view. My wife and friends tell me I look better and younger with it short. I don’t care. I LIKE MY LONG HAIR. ITS ME !
Sorry can’t allways post or comment. It’s difficult on the “smart” phone. Hopefully getting new computer.
Keep them hairs-a-growing !

Okay, okay, mea maxima culpa! There's a new round of photo updates going on here, and I've been quite remiss! Sheesh, this has been a difficult year! But my hair is doing well. I was regularly colouring, up to summer 2019, and decided to let it go 'natural.' About 13 months ago, I cut off some inches to get rid of some of the coloured hair. I've left it alone since then, neither trimming nor colouring, and this is what I have today. I fuss with my hair a bit: twice-weekly washing and conditioning, keratin masque, a bit of argon oil daily. I'm happy with the results.

Hello,
I've written this for people that tell you should cut your hair. Feel free to edit this text if you have better ideas.
I'm a guy with long hair and I speak to you who tells me “When you will cut your hair?”. I heard this sentence a thousand of times and you aren't the first nor the last to tell me this, so I don't care.
Only, did you asked yourself the question of why I have long hair? Yes it's my choice to have them long.
For some people, hair are just a fashion accessory, and they will cut them one day.
But for others their hair are part of their body. When you say to someone to cut their hair it's like if you asked mutilate himself. His long hair are a part of his personality. This person feels good in their body. So, next time, think before critic someone on his hair length. And this hair length has nothing to do with his skills.
I have long hair and I'm more tolerant than you, you have short hair it's your choice and I don't criticize it so be tolerant to me.
One year anniversary of salon trim.
Is Avi still around? Did he end up cutting his hair ;o (hopefully not)???
Hey! been a while.
Just wanted to share my current (new) journey, I posted here many years ago when my hair reached my waist (and later to my hips), all before I had to shave it off due to military service.
After that period was over I haven't had a single trim since and learned to embrace my curlier texture and to take better care of it. This length is about ~40 months since my last buzzcut, here's for more growth onwards and downwards!
Hey guys! It's me again! Thought I'd post my 3-year-1-month hair update pic.
This community has always been so supportive of those of us who've always wanted to grow our hair long. I actually have a YouTube channel documenting my hair growth, and I actually made a (rather terrible, haha) video about why I'm growing my hair long. Anybody else read Bill's "On Being a Longhair?" That thing is SERIOUSLY my Bible, LOL
I'll post the link to my video down below if you wanna check it out. Thanks again for being such an awesome community!

Hello,
I did a video of my hairstyles including braiding.
Excuse me for my English pronunciation it's not very good because I haven't munch practice.
Video of my hairstyles
It's nice to see the group awakening for this fall. It reminded me that my last haircut was in October 2013. I reached a somewhat short terminal length. Here I am with it all pulled to the front.
Some still feel they have to justify themselves in the face of criticism. I went shopping with my wife, and the lady at the checkout jokingly offered to trim my hair, and then my wife came out with the usual BS about trimming being necessary to increase thickness. I just said that I expose it three times to the full moon, say 3 magical incantations and sleep with an aluminium foil hat.
Most people I meet here in Europe don't care how others dress or have their hair. The few who make a comment can be passed off with humour and overstatement.
Greetings to all,
Anthony
Hey y'all I know I haven't been on in quite a while but it's nice to see people still posting on here. I was a member since 2007 and used to be more active on here but thought I'd stop by and say hello to old and new members. Here's an hair update and yes I'm still a long hair after all these years! - Mark
Hello fellow hair-farmers,
Most of the long-term members of MLHH know me quite well; but a few of you are new to me, as well as visa-versa...
Ken's MLHH history in-a-nutshell:
1) I first discovered this hyperboard in the fall of 2003, gradually getting more & more active by the winter of '04, eventually becoming a "regular" by spring;
2) my good friend, the late Bill Choisser (who wrote "ON BEING A LONGHAIR" -- as well as was a long-time Moderator and MLHH Tech Wizard), helped me to set up my own website, including taking a lot of the pics for my fun Hair Page... which I regret to inform everyone here that I unfortunately let that website go (long story...)....
3) Sometime during that same year (2004), I was honored to be asked if I would join the Moderating Crew. My fellow MLHH Moderators who still remember me from that era can verify: I was hands-down THE most computer-stupid Moderator that MLHH has ever had on their team! But, I *do* have long hair; plus, I can type... I also inherited my grandmother's sharp tongue (but try not to scold people too often with it - LOL)!
4) My handle originally used to be "Longhaired Urban Cowboy" (eventually shortened to just "Urban Cowboy") -- I used to go out C&W dancing a lot back then, including was Sundance Saloon's longtime West Coast Swing dance teacher here in San Francisco.
5) I resigned from being on the Moderating Crew in late 2007. Then a few years later, changed my handle to just, "Ken in SF".
Since I don't know how to post any of my more recent pics, -- because they're all on my cell phone (reminder: I'm well known for my computer-stupidity AND cell phone stupidity) -- I'll have to share some older pics of me, which hopefully I still remember how to upload - LOL)....
If I succeed in posting the first pic of my hair, I believe that selfie was taken in January of 2011, at San Francisco's Ocean Beach -- enjoy!
- Ken
I was just thinking about these past members. Has anyone heard anything regarding them?

I've been growing my hair out for 4 years now. I love it but my wife hates it. Have you guys experienced similar problems? I've also been looking for new hair care products can you recommend any?
P.S. This was a picture from my last business head shot.
Hello all,
I used to be a member back in 2007.had shoulder length curly hair. I lived on an island in greece
I'm 37 now. And in the last 3 years I've thinning out so much on top and the crown it had to go. It's been a hard transition. I buzz now every other day. Sometimes shaving with cream.
I've now taken up the Hobbie of a beard
I'm starting to grow a year long van dyke.
That's just the way the cookie crumbled for me.
I even considered growing a sort or rats tail plaite at the thickest part of the back of my head. With a shaved head. Kind of like the Chinese did. But I felt silly.
Anyways. Not really sure why I stopped by, other then grow on for those who can't gents.
Hey guys! Thought I'd just post a really quick update pic of my hair growth so far. This is about 3 years if hair growth (with quite a few trims along the way). My goal is to get it down to my waist, and then I'l see what I want to do with it from there!
Shampoo every 7 to 10 days. Shampoo, rinse, then shampoo again, rinse. Add conditioner. Let set for 10 minutes, leave shower. Brush through with a course plastic comb thru wet hair. Reenter shower, rinse, but leave some conditioner on. Comb thru with a course plastic comb. As hair dries, brush again with a fine comb, and hairbrush. Each morning, add leave-in conditioner to the ends, brush with a course plastic comb. Let dry, brush with fine comb. This creates a silk appearance.
Procedures recommended at the hair salon. Have not gone to the hair salon for a year, being shut down. Life has been the same as last year. At home most of the time.

Hello all ! :) Just posting my 22 month growth update from a buzzcut. This is my 3rd time growing my hair out from a military buzzcut length. Coming along ! Take care all :)
Hey all... hope this post finds you well and healthy, safe at home from COVID.
Sitting at home has given me a lot of time to think and reflect and I'm starting to lean toward getting a haircut for some reason. Maybe it's the result of being inside for too long continuously but... just thought I'd post and try to get my thoughts out to the only people who'd understand them, you guys.
I've known I've wanted long hair since a very young age, I remember knowing this at about age 2 or 3 even. I couldn't grow it out for a long time because of conservative parents, but once I turned 18 I finally began and now I'm at about nipple length, have been growing for 2 years at this point.
The goal is to grow to hip/classic length, which should take about 2-3 more years by my estimate. I made it out of the awkward phase about a year ago so I'm definitely not discouraged by that in particular.. it's a bunch of other factors.
For one, I think the fact that even after two years I'm nowhere near my target length has gotten to me and is discouraging me. I think if I were there already I would be perfectly happy, but waiting takes a toll on me- I have a form of ADHD and just am jumpy/impatient in general as a result.
I'm also starting to feel like I just looked better with short hair rather than long hair. That's obviously something left up to opinion but I can leave some pics so you guys can understand what I mean. Obviously things might be different if my hair was longer but as of now its not very long. At greater lengths maybe I could do a striking sephiroth type look but who knows...
Before: https://i.imgur.com/yWAvonW.jpg
After: https://i.imgur.com/kn5XAXW.jpg
Also, I haven't figured out how to style my hair at all. I haven't figured out the manbun nor any other style that looks good on me... I would ask my female friends but at this point I can't because of the lockdown.
This one will sound stupid, but dating/sex has been way harder with long hair. I would fairly frequently get attention from girls when I had short hair but now it's almost never. As a young guy in my late teens it's difficult to go without sex for long periods of time, no matter what the media says about abstinence culture and such. There's no denying that having longer hair has worsened my dating life. That's something that many of us have dealt with and I was aware going into this but I didn't realize just how hard it might hit.
Overall, I'm not going to make a rash decision here. I probably still will not be going back to short hair in any case but I just wanted to put this out there and get it off my chest because it had been bothering me, and I wanted to hear what others thought and if they had been through similar things. I need to be careful and think anything through before I do something I regret. I'd love to hear from you and your experiences so I can make the proper choice for myself.
At the moment, what I'm thinking is to give it about another year, and if it still isn't working out well for me then I'll make the chop. That's not a concrete plan but just something I've been mulling over. But as I said, I want to hear everyone's thoughts and think about it properly before I do anything stupid.
I really appreciate you all! Hope you're staying safe and well!
Cheers,
Avi
Wouldn't it be great if all us long hair lovers could accumulate a list of LONG HAIRED athletes to keep an eye on.

Hello,
I saw a TV show where a woman were hang by her hair and dancing.
Is it fake or real? How is it possible to do this without suffering? I think it would damage roots and cause hair loss.
You can see the replay here at 0:49': https://www.france.tv/france-2/spectaculaire/1974679-emission-du-samedi-3-octobre-2020.html
Hope everybody is doing well given the current pandemic. My last post was 5 months ago. Time sure does fly !
I will always have long one length long hair. Lately I have considered trimming it shorter. It is almost to my belly button. I had it belt length at one time but found it too long for my tastes. I guest growing to terminal length is out for me.

Alicia Silverstone's son has long hair and is being bullied by his peers. His solution? He wants to grow his hair longer (waist length). Good for him. And good for his parents for letting him wear his hair the way he wants.
So I just googled men with long hair because of an incident today that the kind of offended me. I’ve always loved hair long hair I’ve had most of my life and I’ve been advised many times both directly and indirectly that it could be a detriment in finding a job even though it should not be. Anyway I just got a new job got through the interview and everything. Taking the next step in my path to success in the accounting field. Landed the job perfectly on merit. Today I went into sign the paperwork and the boss said “I do want to say that we are a professional environment I want to ask about your hair.“ I said “do you have an issue with it?” He said I don’t have an issue but we do want to be professional I don’t know if you want to cut it. I don’t know how attached you are to it.” I responded “very” and he said “oh then I won’t bother you about it.” So I’m glad that part is behind us but it still bothers me that this is the year 2020 and people still make an issue of men with long hair. So I just needed to rant about that and I found this board.
Hi fellow long hair friends,
I've uploaded a video, and realised it was the 100th month of growing long hair. 8 years and 4 months. What a nice number haha. This was recorded in October, in a very nice forest location.
Sometimes I feel like my hair is very normal, sometimes I feel like It would be cool to have short hair. But most of the time I enjoy having my hair long.
Thanks for your replies on my previous thread! I appreciate your kind words.
Hope you are well! :)

my hair after ~2 years
Hello everybody
I've found this website by random. I couldn't imagine that a such website and community could exists. It seems that it's one of the only website of this type on Internet.
I had seeking if a french website of this type exits but it seems that's not the case.
I read this board for several days and it's nice to see that there are others peoples like me.
I've long hairs for 20 years I like this and I can't explain why.
I live in Bordeaux, France and my main hobby is funfairs.
If you wants an explanation of my nickname:
Jesus: do I need to explain?
Forain: french word for showmen. Peoples that works on funfairs and travelling carnivals.
Of course you can google me, you'll find other stuff about me.
Hi(gh)!
Without any convenient (i. e. those with access to open water to clean myself afterwards and without risk of contracting botulism) "pleasure swamp" in reach, I decided not to take the summer swamp gypsy ride but instead keep the beard... and having turned 51 today, this would be a nice occasion to make a picture!
Hello you guys. I've posted here a handful of times, but not recently. I started growing my hair about six years ago, at the age of 43, and after having tried all through my teens, twenties and thirties, I finally got my hair to the length I've always wanted.
Part of the reason I was able to do it was because of this forum. The encouragement is really helpful in world where most people really don't like long hair on men.
I'm also gay, and ... I don't think I realized how few gay guys like long hair until I had it. My sex life is a desert these days. But having long hair is so great! I finally feel like myself.
Recent photo attached! Cheers.
Hello,
I wash my hair once per week and use rinse conditioner.
I had read that some people recommend to conditioning every 2-3 days. Does that mean that I should wet my hair with water only and use a conditioner?
Is conditioning when no shampoo needed is useful.
Hello everyone! How was Valentine’s Day? It was a busy one for me.
Anyway, we all know men rarely grow their hair to waist length or longer around these days, but there is something I realized: I have never EVER seen a boy with floor length hair.
I know the whole thing is supposed to be unsurprising, but I was surprised by that realization. The longest I saw was knee-length!
There is no way any of you found a boy with hair that long, but maybe you all did.
My hair with ponytail with 9 months
I've had long hair since 2003 and I no longer satisfied with your standard ponytail or man bun. I just want someone else to style my hair for me.
How do I find women into this?
Sorry if this post is breaking the rules or something, but are there any dating sites or services out there for gay men with long hair? I tried to go to the gaylonghairs.com under the Links section, but that site doesn't exist anymore. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
I am a gay man with long hair, by the way. Here's a current pic of the length. I plan on growing it much longer!
Hi everyone.
I haven’t posted in a while.
Here’s a pic of me from a few minutes ago at the office!
Enjoy the summer.

I tripped over a show on Discovery called Dual Survival.
One of the male contestants has waist length braids.
So it's been roughly 2 years since my last haircut or trim of any kind. My hair is about to my nipples. For the longest time I hadn't seen any split ends at all in my hair. I suspect that was because I don't use heat at all nor chemicals for styling, and I'm fairly gentle with my hair most of the time. Unfortunately though you can't avoid environmental damage. So last week for the first time ever I found a split end, and today I found two more. I'm kind of sad right now because I was doing well for so long but all of a sudden I'm finding split ends. I tried to come up with some potential reasons:
- Sometimes in a hurry I'll comb quickly/rashly and that might cause damage
- General environmental damage from wind/sun
- Not keeping it moist enough; until recently I didn't really use coconut oil, which I regret, I use it regularly nowadays
- Not getting trims? I'm not a fan of trims because I always assumed I don't need them since I don't actively damage my hair with heat, but idk at this point :(
Anyways I'm kinda lost as to what to do. If I'm getting split ends now I don't really know how to deal with them but at the same time I don't want to go back to short hair. Do I just do a search and destroy every night or every week or something?
Any advice is appreciated. Cheers :)
Just so everyone is covered here, what straight long hair dating sites give the best results? Also are they ones which work for a global audience? Please list them in the replies. I tried out a long hair dating site recently and the membership is near non-existent in the area which I live.
Like this site, encourages you to grow hair long while others don't. Some of theses people had long hair back in the 1970s or had boyfriends with long hair. How do I know? I was a teenager back then. Young people generally like it though. This may be my last time growing it long. Not as thick as it used to be. Longest I ever had it. Shooting for eight years.
I last posted 3 months ago stating that I was going to start my journey again after growing my hair out for 3 years and then cutting it all off. Here is my latest pic :)
Check out Jerry Oliver and his beautiful waist length hair. It's interesting to note that a lot of male models have long hair.
Jerry OliverAfter reading Absolom's post below i've reluctantly come to the
agonizing realization I need to keep my hair at about nipple
length. Some of the hair grows longer than nipple length, but some of the hair doesn't. I don't know if some of the hair just stops growing at about nipple length, or if the hair has gotten damaged. I've been very careful about avoiding damage so i'm wondering if, now that i'm 65 years old (66 in August) if the terminal length of some of the hair is now at nipple length. I would hate to lose the length but I also hate the way the ends look. The hair is also all grey and I intend to keep it grey.
I am considering trimming my hair back to belt length. The last foot of my hair is badly frayed and it forms knots when I wash. This causes damage to good undamaged hair due to severe tangling. I am thinking of going for better and trouble free high quality hair at this time. I am fed up with it taking hours to detangle after washing. Any advice here?

So after my last post I decided to go ahead and try and give myself a search and destroy trim... unwittingly I grabbed the first pair of scissors I saw and went to town. I was happy with the results but then I did some quick reading and realized to my horror that using everyday scissors(which are quite blunt) don't cut the hair properly and simply cause more split ends... now I'm kinda freaked out because I just made my situation worse. Has anybody had any experience with this? Have you cut your hair with blunt scissors and as a result gotten more split ends? Or is that just a ruse? Any help is welcome cuz I have to figure this out :(
So I used to post here back around 2002 or so. Cut my hair some time after, never grew it out again. I remembered the board though and thought I would look for it, didn't think it would still be around with all the changes in social media and what not (kind of crazy that I still had my first flip phone the last time I posted here, I could play snake and solitaire on it, it was amazing lol).
Glad this community is still going, any guys from back around that time? I vaguely remember faces but can't put names to them and don't even remember what my user name was. I do remember someone on here sold these small scrunchies/hair ties that were of a really soft, almost velvet material and wouldn't snag any hairs, and I remember everyone being a big fan of Aussie hair products but that's about as far as my memory goes.
From beginning of February 2019
Hey, everyone! Been a long-time lurker of this community, and today I feel like it's finally time to post a picture of my hair. This is a picture from a few weeks ago,right before work. I usually try and wear my hair down because I love the feeling of it on my shoulders, and because I get a lot of compliments at work.I read Bill Choisser's "On Being a Longhair" many years ago, and instantly felt a connection. I am DEFINITELY a Born Longhair; wanting long hair is among my earliest memories. I plan on growing my hair down to my belly button, but one of my friends wants to grow his hair with me to terminal length, which would hopefully be down to my waist or even longer (I wouldn't complain if my terminal length was floor-length or longer, but I seriously doubt it). I'm excited to finally be a longhair, and I'm even more excited for my hair to grow longer and longer! Cheers!
Around here in the US of A we have thousands of people protesting the stay at home order. They want to be able to go to the beach, go golfing, go for a haircut, etc.
What these people don't realize is people are encouraged to stay home to stop the spread. In the US of A we've now had more people die of COVID 19 than died in the entire Vietnam War. for many with underlying medical issues it's a matter of life and death.
[full disclosure: my wife has underlying medical issues and my father in law is in a rehab facility having a positive COVID 19 test.
For a number of people this shut down is a temporary inconvenience, in a month they'll be able to get a haircut and do other stuff in the coming months. On the other hand we've got thousands who have died and will never get the chance to partake in the activities these thousands of protesters are want to do.
It'S a question of priorities. My father in law is proof that COVID 19 is not a hoax.
[Addendum: our local Wal-Mart has jut been shut down for a deep cleaning after an employee died of COVID 19. Also people are traveling to states like Maine to get their haircuts only to be told they'll only serve Maine residents and that out of state people have to self quarantine for 14 days. }

Gorgeous man ~ Gorgeous mane !
Hello!
I have been practicing my braids and though I'm still not the greatest I can manage double braids somehow. I attached the photo- I think they look meh but I feel that french or Dutch braids would look even better. What do you guys think?

Enjoy this awesome long hair.
Hello everyone!
I just had a nostalgic moment and wanted to come see if the hyperboard was still up - in fact, I sometimes still lurk around here to see the familiar faces, and I'm glad to see a lot of them! Hello to the oldies here, you know who you are! =)
I joined here when I was 16 years old, I had started growing my hair 8 months ago at the time. Right now, it has been 15 years and 4 months cine I last had a short haircut. It's like a different life and it is so my life. I've had different styles in the meantime though I always kept my hair long.
My original goal when I joined here (which my hair still short) was knee length. Now I never got to that length however I did get to classic length and then started trimming my hair to get better ends.
Anyhow, after some cuts here and then (I did go back to just below waist length about 2 years ago I believe), I still have long hair, currently sitting around the middle of my butt. I have this plan of not cutting it at all this year as an attempt to get to classic length again but I will see! My ends are not giving me such a hard time anymore fortunately. I have started oiling my hair a bit more often and it's been easier this way, to avoid trimming. The ends are quite thinner than I would like still, however they are a lot thicker than the last time my hair was this long. So fingers crossed!
In any case I am much more relaxed about it right now. Even trimming it feels good when I have to, it's refreshing and preparing it to grow longer again.
I have to say thank you forever to this hyperboard and the people that were here when I was a regular. I felt at home and very welcome in a phase of my life where I was still very insecure. The long hair sure made me feel special in the long run, and is now a trademark of mine that has, among other things, given me work where I use my image, and that says a lot about how confident if makes me feel.
To the new faces I say: just keep letting it grow if that's what you want and what's going to make you happy. There is not a time when I'm combing my hair that I don't feel immensely proud of my perseverance in taking care of it. To most this is something very shallow and superficial. But especially when it hasn't come to you without effort, there is a reason to be proud and happy <3
And of course, you can see how it is looking. I uploaded a picture of it to my instagram recently:

I hope everyone is doing super well and that there has been a lot of personal growth as well as hair growth! And thank you to the moderators for keeping this place alive <3

...slowly but surely. Can say I was a bit surprised when I saw this photo - hadn't seen myself from behind in a while ;o ... not too bad - so I guess I can feel good that it's still growing a bit & a bit longer, too :) . Hope everyone is staying safe 'n healthy out there, my friends - cheers ^_^ ~
What are guys here doing with their hair when they wear a face mask? (Some cities and towns are now fining people who are not wearing fact masks.)
What about beards? Apparently with face masks they don't make a good seal with a beard.
I hope everyone here is surviving the COVID 19 virus.
Around here there are several good things about this pandemic
The amount of traffic on the roads are down, crime in the state is down, and non essential businesses are closed. (for us this means Barber Shops are closed.)
So remember to stay away from crowds (at least six feet), wash your hands. and stay home.
Been a long time, but it's been 17 years and I'm still a longhair.
Is any one else blown away by the healthy, silky mane of Trevor Lawrence?
If you're not aware of him . . .he's the Quarterback for the Clemson Tigers college football team.
He tosses it, finger strokes it shakes his head to get it off his face.
It's just past his shoulders.
Hello community,
I've been growing out my hair on the top for quite a while, and like half a year ago, I also started growing out the rest.
My hair is creeping down the back of my neck and it curls up, it just looks horrible.
My question: pull through? Is it necessary to grow the hair out there too, if I want "complete" long hair?
thanks in advance.
Forgot that when I take pics with the phone straight up that they will appear sideways.

January pic (in terms of growing hair on top, this is like bowling with a nerf ball). Will probably get more growth on the chin.

If I don't have much success growing it on top could grow it on the chin.
Been trying to grow back my hair (at least what's left) since August. Progress posts coming up shortly. First one from Aug.
Its been awhile since Ive posted but Im still here..........
Dear All,
I would like to wish you all a happy new year. The photo here was taken last June whilst I was at a sailing gathering in Brittany. I am practically sure that I reached terminal length about 2 years ago - at mid-back length with a few strands touching just above my butt with my head tipped back. God gave me what I've got, and many others have a much shorter terminal length. Here I am sitting in my moored boat.

Hello everybody! :)
I've posted here periodically over the past 2 years but I thought I'd finally post a more detailed update because I have a lot to say.
I first posted here over 2 years ago. I was a 16 year old kid in high school who'd wanted to grow my hair out since I was 2, and I'd never gotten to do so. I was nervous and scared as to what my family and friends would think, and whether I would be able to manage to do this or not.
Today I'm 19, an engineering student at Texas A&M, and confident with my mane :) My final haircut of all time was in March of 2018- it has been two years on my long hair journey.
Alright, some photos! My hair looks slightly greasy in the first few because I just did my nightly oiling- usually its not so prevalent :)

My goal for the time being is classic length- if I can get beyond that I'll go for it, but that is the initial goal at the moment.
I seem to grow at the regular rate, 6 inches per year. I've been fairly diligent about length retention and I've managed to retain all 12 inches from the past two years. I hope I can continue that length retention- if I can, I'll be able to reach my waist in one year, my hip in two years, and classic length in 3 years- exciting to hear! But I have to be careful and keep my ends healthy. So far I haven't spotted any split ends, but I'm worried they may appear soon. I avoid blow drying(I air dry), heat/chemicals(i have no reason to curl my hair or dye it), and I wash my hair once per week(in order to not overwash and make it dry). I recently began taking multiple supplements including collagen, biotin, folic acid, and omega3 to see if I can improve my growth rate. I also use coconut oil on my ends to keep them moisturized and prevent them from splitting. I'm from Southern India(TamilNadu), where coconut oil is widely used on hair. Women from my area of the world very often grow hair to classic length and often much longer. So I have high hopes that I too have a terminal length as long as them, and that my dreams won't be cut short by a genetic limit. It definitely worries me at times though, that a terminal limit on my length does exist- what if it isn't as long as I want?
My parents at first were not at all happy with my choice, and kept threatening haircuts. I love them very much, they're amazing parents, but I was very firm that this is my hair and that I would do with it as I wished. They've mostly backed off now- they make the occasional joke about how a haircut would look good on me but they don't push it. My friends have been very supportive as well- the female ones help me with hair care and often brush and braid my hair(I find this very relaxing for whatever reason). The male ones(my core friend group of "bros") enjoy making fun of me playfully, but they never cross the line and they're never serious about it. I make fun of them for various things too so it's only fair after all :) But they know their limits and they are supportive in that they don't target my hair or insist that I get a haircut. I do feel like my hair causes me to get less attention from women than my friends do- this saddens me but I'm more than willing to sacrifice it in order to meet my goals- this is more important to me.
Probably the biggest issue for me with my hair has just been hair envy/depression. I oftentimes will see people(usually women) who have achieved my goal of classic length, either on the internet or in real life. Obviously they have put in a lot of care and effort to get there and worked hard- they too were once where I was. But I can't help but feel jealous that I'm not there yet. Patience is difficult for me, and I wish I could just wake up tomorrow and have my hair at classic length. Seeing other people who have achieved their goals makes me feel depressed that I'm not there yet. I have immense respect for them and the time they put into making that happen. Had I started my journey earlier, which I could not because of my parents' strictness with hair, I would have also likely reached my goals by now- this just fuels resentment toward my parents, though I should not blame them for trying to raise me how they saw best fit. This envy/depression is a struggle for me, but I won't let it deter me from my goals.
I think that's about everything I had to say- Thank you all for being so supportive! In a time where I felt I was alone and weird for wanting long hair, y'all provided me a community where I felt normal and wanted for my wishes and inspired me to work toward my goals. I really have no words to say how thankful I am for that. I'd love to hear what you all have to say about my hair as well as the ups and downs of my journey so far. I will keep updating you and asking questions as time goes on- the journey has only just begun!
Sincerely,
Avi
Hello all ! It has been awhile since I visited the site. I grew my hair out for 3 years when I first joined this forum, and love it. I sadly cut it all off and went with a super short style and then grew it out for about 17 months before cutting it again. I am now dedicated to keeping my hair long, and have made it to the 15 month. Here is an attached pic with my current hair length. I turned 40 this past October :)
Just curious what are you using in your hair and how have the results been? What works for your hair type and what do you recommend?

I am in the Member's Directory on MLHH but need my address updated. I moved out of Fresh Meadows, New York, USA and am now in Nea Makri-Zoumperi, Attiki, Greece. Yes, I am one of those 277 people leaving New York City per day. I figured who needs to live in an expensive prison?
I took this ponytail photograph tonight. I would possibly have longer hair if I maintained it better. Given stress and not getting my ends done for periods of 9 months or longer doesn't give it the strength to show greater length. Given I am 40 with no hair loss and little grey I'm not doing badly at all.
Tonight in my village in Greece, I met a friendly Russian woman from Yekaterinburg. A big city I heard of situated just to the east of the Ural Mountains range, dividing Europe from Asia. She has been living in Greece for 15 years. She speaks little English and I speak little Greek. We had difficultly communicating but managed still to where we could understand each other. She told me I am a perfectly handsome man but doesn't get it [(the reason(s)] why the ponytail and mustache I wear, thinking it detracts from my looks. Nonetheless, she played with my ponytail a little bit. I would suppose from this she likes the hair, just not on me. She's 48 years old and I am 40. I will have to ask her birth date next time as I think that astrology stuff is a good indicator of things if a relationship is likely. Her looks are okay but difficult to see entirely as she was wearing a jacket and hat when she came over to my house. She is blond haired with the Slavic look, not slanted eye look. Her hair is shorter than mine, it looks just at or above shoulder length.
I asked this previously but was wondering if anyone has information about this long hair model. Marianne Ernst (of Germany) is one of my favorite long haired female models but she hasn't posted any pictures since 2018. Anyone know her whereabouts or how she's doing?
Hello:
No need to list this in the forum. I tried contacting you before but there has been no change made.
My listing, J.M.M., I no longer live in Fresh Meadows, New York, USA. I now reside in Nea Makri-Zoumperi, Attiki, Greece. Plus update the Member's Directory with the change in location. Also you can remove my comments made describing my profile as they no longer apply.
Thank you,
J.M.M.
Has anyone seen an update from Hair Freaky Long Hair lately? https://www.facebook.com/Hairfreakylonghair/
Time flies. My son will be eight soon and appears to be a born longhair as he’s been always offered the choice of hair length and has never wavered in wanting it long. He agreed to a small trim on New Year’s Day as my wife was giving me a trim anyway. I could see him experimenting when he’s a teenager with shorter styles but he’s given no indication of wanting to cut it short. He views it as part of his identity.
I’ve been having my hair trimmed once or twice per year. It has been gradually lengthening again since it was cut to shoulder length in July 2018. I might go for mid-back again. I doubt I’d ever try for terminal again given my hair’s fine texture. I’m very satisfied in just maintaining and enjoying being a longhair. My cycling has been cut back a lot over the last year and it’s been replaced with running. Running is no doubt a bit easier on one’s hair as there is no helmet and less wind damage.
Hi all!
A new year and a new decade! I hope everyone is well in this interesting era :) . A photo from today... man, it's hard to tell if my hair is still growing, but I sure hope it is ;p . I guess a few inches off due to split ends doesn't help as well ;o . The wife did this braid for me - kind'a Lord of the Rings -ish ;p heheh. Anyways, cheers and the best to you all, my friends ^^ !!!~
btw - great to see long hair coming back in again on guys and in a very strong way ;D ~ ^_^
A native of the Philippines, Master Hector Ramos studied with Grand Master Choa Kok Sui, the founder of modern Pranic Healing and Arhatic Yoga. This guy has beautiful silky hair that falls below his waist. Just Goggle "Master Hector Ramos" for facebook photos (especially those posted by other people) and videos.
Here’s my yearly update. I think my hair looks a bit longer than in reality because of the angle of the camera….but it gives you an idea.
Wish you all the best in the new year.
A.D.
....and the Best of Everything in 2020.
