Hi everyone,

Just a brief update, I am still in the early stages of growth but want to get into the habit of posting regular updates to keep me on track.  My last haircut of any kind was in November and was an just undercut to help the top of my hair catch up to the sides.   Before that I gave myself a buzz cut with about a ½" clippers in earlier in the Fall, I don't remember exactly when. I am going to call this about 6 months of growth, though.   I think I have about a year before I will be able to pull it together into a tail or bun of any kind, so headed right into the heart of the awkward phase.  Thanks for taking a look :)

Hi there, long time since posting, it's quiet here these days!

Good to see new people and a few of the old regulars, looking fantastic Joao David!

Just posting a rather bad phone pic I took today, hair is past belt length, been growing forever now this time round (almost 9 yrs) with a few trims on the way. Happy with how it is, I just self trim a little when I need/want, no hang ups about it. It's about as long as it can get with still looking OK in my opinion. I previously had it past belt length but it was very thin on the ends and I kept sitting on it which was actually annoying me a lot, plus some car door incidents when windy.

I had a youtube channel if anyone recognises me from that but I closed it recently, just got tired of all the google crud and people being rude or constantly asking for my contact details for what reason I don't know like it's their right or something. I'm getting too cranky and old for all that these days. So going old school and posting here instead where it all started for me in 2004! If anyone wants a chat you can now do it the old way, via email! I still don't have unsta or zip lock or xitler (I know what I mean..) or any of those things either and don't plan to get them. I have asked the users directory via the email in the FAQ's to please update so once that's done you can contact me that way for a normal conversation if you like :)

Take care all!

Hello guys! This is my first post, and I was wondering if you had any tips for me growing my hair long.

Hi everyone, I am an ex-longhair and long-ago poster here at the MLHH. I cut my hair several years ago (boo!), but have decided to grow it long again. I'm 54, and obviously have a more mature hairline now, but hoping it turns out well. I am about 5-6 months in to growing from a buzz cut, with a self-administered undercut around the holidays so the top could grow down to about my hears before earnestly starting to grow all the way around. I am posting link to a video of where I am now, and in the thread will post a couple other recent pics and a couple from when my hair was long. Any feedback and encouragement is most welcome as I am just about to enter the awkward stage in earnest. I am so glad this board still exists, and happy to see quite a few familiar faces from back in the day :) Philip

Measured it the other day and we are officially at 3ft of length! Hoping to grow it until it reaches a meter and then see what I want to do with it. It's probably never going to be shorter than this if I can help it.

Hi everyone
I’ve been growing my hair for 4 years now. I’ve gotten into a routine of just getting the ends trimmed every 2 to 3 months and that seems to keep my hair, healthy and growing. My goal is low back. It will probably take about another three years to achieve. I straightened my hair for this picture.

Hi all,

Maybe we could boost activity by us posting one or two of our hair photos that showcase our hair. These could perhaps serve as inspiration for the group. I'll post a couple from quite a few years ago. My hair is not currently as long as this.

I'll post a current hair photo at some point in the not too distant future.

Here is a back view of my hair, taken last Fall, during an outing with my friend Joe Myers, another longhair I am very close to.

You will find me towards the right of the group. Yes, still with long hair. We were all sailing small boats in Brittany and having a wonderful time.

Happy new year everyone,

Keep growing :)

May your hair stay long and healthty for 2026.

Just as the title says! I've ben growing my hair for about 7 years. Here's a picture of it, and I have also linked a video I just posted talking about my long hair.

Hi long hair guys

On June 21st, I went to an Aérotrain meeting with enthusiasts and took this photo like I did since 2021!

We suffered a heat wave, I went to this place in the afternoon, but I could only stay a few minutes because I started to feel sick due to the extreme heat. I quickly went in my car with AC. I always shot this photo at sunset when sun is just above the horizon. Thankfully, the temperature had gone down, it was bearable, and there was absolutely no wind to mess my hair.

I never had such long hair, but I have the impression that it doesn't grow longer. When wet, some reach my waist. Between the 2021 photo and this 2025 photo, I hadn't had any trim.

Photo taken on 20th June 2025.

Hi(gh)!

Still going strong, still going long!

See you in Khyberspace!

Hi,

On June 22th 2025, I had met Anthony. We have discussed shipbuilding, I had bring my shipbuilding lessons to show him. I spent two years learning shipbuilding in Saint-Nazaire (France), a city mainly known for its shipbuilding industry and shipyard "Chantiers de l'Atlantique" where famous ships had been built, like the Normandie, France, and Queen Mary 2; today they build very big cruise ships.

It was the day just after an extreme heat wave; this day was hot, but it was bearable. I also took some photos of Anthony with my film camera, a Hasselblad 500c, which is the same camera used on the Moon by astronauts from Apollo missions. I use black & white film that I develop myself and print photos in a darkroom.

Taking this photo was challenging due to the wind that messed up our hair, there was just a small breeze but it was enough. I had to take many photos until I had a good one, and between photos we rearranged our hair.

Reviewing the photos on "Long haired Legends" Instagram page, I find a great many guys with dreads whose hair is floor-length or longer. But guys with straight or curly (but non-dreads) are very scare indeed. I can only think of Hairfreaky and Danny Cecati. Does anyone know why floor-length or longer hair is so much more prevalent among guys with dreads? Perhaps it's easier to maintain dreads? Any ideas?

In this picture, I have half of my hair at East, the other half at West, and the prime meridian (or Greenwich meridian) runs in the middle of my head!
I'm also located at the 45th North parallel, the intersection of the two lines is a singular geographic point. It's the center point of the Northern Hemisphere, and GPS coordinates are just 45°N 0°.
East is at left, West at right, North at bottom and South at top.

The story behind this photo is that I went to a fun fair for Easter in a city next to the prime meridian, and I got the idea to do a photo in the middle of the meridian, but I remember that there is the 45th parallel not so far, so I went to this specific point.
Thankfully, it's located next to a road. Aside from these signs, there is nothing here. It's located in the countryside next to a small road and a noisy highway.

First, I'm sorry to hear of Scott's passing. He did so much for the long hair community.
I've noticed a lot of guys are sporting two braids, or as we used to call them in days gone by, "Indian braids". I've also noticed on TIKTOK that a number of guys have found an interesting way of showcasing their beautiful long hair by braiding their hair in front, under the collar, as a necktie. Two I found are @egorgorbin and @Gregbatocabe. @buenalifeorg created a necktie from his long hair, but it is not braided. All of them look absolutely fantastic, and I am extremely jealous of them. Check them out.

Took a pic a couple of days ago, I was surprised, the last few from behind were not so great, I can live with this as I approach age 62 in September.

Greetings to all mlhh members and guests. It has come to my attention that a longtime member and fellow moderator has passed away around a month ago.Scott "Absalom" Nagel was a moderator and treasurer of the mlhh when I joined back around 2005.I had the honor to personally meet him during my many visits to California over the years.He was a down to earth nice guy who became a true friend.Over the years we have lost others here as its just the nature of time passing by.Scott was a great contributor to this site during his active years and will truly be missed by those that knew him. Now Scott has moved on to the afterlife leaving us all with memories of when the mlhh was really active before social media really took off.God speed to Scott as you will be missed but not forgotten.Thanks to everyone taking the time to read this tribute.

Hi,

Just a photo of me wearing a suit with my long hair. I like this look.
