Be true to you. Grow it long.
It's a my house that I renovate. Plasterboard is the wrost part!
My hair are white!
Good morning everyone,
It's been about 2 weeks since my last post, thought I'd make an update. Still on the path, alternating between feeling like I am making some progress and feeling like it's taking forever :) Not much growth since last time, but this is my hair freshly washed. Just as an experiment I've been trying egg-washing my hair once per week. It sounds strange, but it seems to work pretty well for me. Anyone else ever tried it?
Hope everyone has a great week!
Philip

Hello everyone, good hair day today.
Surprised to see this board is still around. I used to frequent it about twenty years ago. My hair hit terminal length at my ankles. Keep growing, but beware of the people you encounter.
My username was Bruin, for the UCLA Bruins, unaware that Bruin also means bear, in some circles, and a bear is also a gay man.
Again, be careful of the people who admire you for how you look.
Does anyone have experience with Rogain?
After all these years of having long hair i've noticed some receeding hair line and balding spots.
I was looking at reviews of Rogain and one of the chief complaints is Rogain can lead to hair loss rather than hair gain.
I'm now 71 years old.
Good day all,
Figured it was time to try my first post on the new mlhh so let’s see if it works. Taking advantage of a gorgeous day here in NJ as springtime takes hold over a long cold winter. Hopefully my photo shows otherwise I should be embarrassed as a crew member if I can’t even navigate my own site. My hair appears to be still holding up as I approach mid 60s. I’d like to again personally thank Jesus Forain for his work to update the mlhh and all those posting to help kick off the upgrade. Cheers to all friends old and new here! Cheers.

This report was on the French TV network “Radio-Canada”, (French only), and is a short documentary about living with Asperger's Syndrome. Even if you do not understand, you can see my waist length hair, back then (Old age made it about 4 inches shorter now), and it was dark. The video is good quality for a VHS transfer. You will see old computers, and my PDA (A Psion Series 5mx), and an HP48 calculator (The best made by HP along with the HP48g series.
Hi all,
I thinking of running for a representative post in my company, which in itself, has a rather inclusive culture. I usually do not have any issues with anyone (no odd looks, passing questions or awkward tones) even when I wear my long hair down, on a single braid, double-braids or a bun.
I am inclined to use this picture for the election, which I don't think it's your “usual” election photo, and wonder if it lacks professionalism.
Any opinion(s) will be appreciated.
Thanks :)

Hello everyone! As the title shows, I am actually leaving my former job! It has been a very long time coming as the work culture is very abusive. I have always loved hair and haircare, and it is a subject I am deeply passionate about. Besides becoming a barber or hairstylist, what other careers do you guys know about that has to do with hair? I figured I might as well marry this passion area with a new career! Thanks!
Also, in case it was buried, here is how long my hair is now
It’s great to see our new version of the MLHH, and congratulations to the team for doing such an excellent job. I got a note from Jesus Forain yesterday that the new site was live, and encouraging me to post a couple of photos as well.
I hope that this works, since this is my first attempt trying to post in this new version of the site.
As a 72 year old guy, I’m quite happy to have a reasonably full head of hair. I have two photos here, one showing my hair in a middle part, and another, taken a few weeks ago, with more of a side part, after I did a small dusting trim to even up the ends.
Hopefully, our new site will thrive, and become more active as more members discover the improvements.
So… I was chewing gum last night, and I woke up with it in my hair. yikes
My friend took the photo. ( I had to cut out the gum with ✂️ scissors)
Just wanted to say great job on the board, it's really looking good thanks to all the work that obviously went into this change. I miss the old format too it was very nostalgic the way it was. I was finding the old board wouldn't open in chrome any more, hopefully this new format will breathe new life into things and get some new posters.
I've been hanging around since early 2000s, no longer obsessed with doing weekly updates like I used to since my hair has been growing this 3rd time for nearly 11 yrs.
Growth seemed to slow down once it got near belt length, seems to have been at around belt length for ages (my perception/impatience/self trims don't help!!). Shoulder length to midback seemed to take no time (couple of yrs) then to belt length a few more yrs. These new pics indeed indicate it's still growing, if somewhat thinner at the ends. Just wanting to see how much longer it will grow while I still can, I do feel lucky genetically that I can still have this much hair at my age, even if the top/front is not as thick as it used to be and getting quite a v shape at the temples. Can't complain all in all!
Here's a some recent pics I took. They seem huge lol, it's a bit scary? and a bit blurry? Prob my poor camera skills and should have downscaled them sorry.
I haven't trimmed in over 2 yrs just to see how much longer it will get. I just washed it so the ponytail is super gigantic... When I go out it's normally in a bun but sometimes I like to wear a pony tail out which I normally get positive remarks over. If I wear it loose it tends to get quite annoying, stuck in car doors, constantly having to swish it out of the way, sit on it etc and gets all tangled, as well as sometimes scaring the guys when I turn around and they realize I'm a big 50 something hairy guy and not whoever they thought they were looking at.. . anyway that's all part of the fun ha ha! Hope to see more posts soon from new and old!
I suppose that everybody here knows this TV series form the 90s where the main character Duncan Macleod have long hair tied in a ponytail. Sadly, he cuts his hair at the beginning of the last season (119 episodes in 6 seasons). I found that this ponytail was a part of the Macleod character, it's a little like if we remove the costume of Superman in a movie.
The actor who played Duncan Macleod was Adrian Paul and I found his YouTube channel where he explains some beyond the scenes and answer questions about the Highlander TV series.
I thought he used a long hair wig but it's not exactly this. He had mid length hair, longer than usual but not long enough to be tied in a ponytail.
He got hair extensions for scenes with long hair and a short hair wig for scenes with short hair. His real hair was simply put under the wig behind his head with hair pins.
I always wanted to have these hair ties with Celtic symbols, I find them cool and it was the only hair ties specifically designed for men. They were sold when the official store used to exists a long time ago. I've searched on Ebay but I can't find ones.
Hello everyone,
I used the original board since the early 2000.
I have long hair since 1979. I am 67 and retired from an IT job at UQAM.
I am glad to see the board up and running.
Thank you for keeping an old web tradition alive.
Hey y’all here’s 4 years of growth
Hi,
It's me in the Bordeaux fun-fair in France. I'm a fun-fair enthusiast and it's where I spend my holidays, 3 weeks in March and 3 weeks in October riding amusement rides.
My nickname comes from this:
- Jesus for long hair and beard
- Forain. It's a French word that designates people owning and operating amusement rides in fairgrounds. It's the same pronunciation as “foreign” that comes from the french word “forain” and means stranger to something.
I always have my hair tied for safety because it could get caught by ride mechanisms and cause severe injury and if I leat my hair loose it tends to tangle. I had loose hair just for the photo.
Fun fact:
An episode of the TV series Highlander was shot in a hotel, next to this place. I remember that in the episode the characters says “we go to Bordeaux” and we see them at the hotel window with the theater/opera of Bordeaux opposite the the hotel. It's a 90s TV series where the main character, Duncan McLeod have long hair; tied in a ponytail most of the time. I had watched this series when aired on TV and found his style super cool with his ponytail. Sadly in the lasts episodes of the series he went to short hair, we see him cutting his hair in one of the episodes.
I'll try to find this episode.
Hey guys!!
I'm Tom and I'm new here. I'm a longtime admirer and huge supporter of the channel and all of you! I've decided to finally do it and grow my hair long… YAY!! I'm seven months in from a very short low fade with about three-quarters of an inch on top. I'm also noticing some curl, which is cool!
I'll pop back on here periodically to post progress pics. Hope to hear from you guys!!
hey guys do you think I can grow my hair long? I have it short on the top and sides and its touching the top of my neck in the back. any tips? let me know!!!
Hi all,
Wow this is quite a change from the old hyperboard. I took the chance to update my bio and profile pic as they were still the same from 2007.
This is my current hair length about one year from short hair. I’ve had mostly long hair since I first started growing almost 20 years ago, but sometimes I have cut it short for various reasons.
Hope everybody is doing ok.
And one from the back:
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.
