As you can see my hair doesn't appear to be growing all that much right now. Now I say appear, cause when I stretch it out, I do believe it's gotten longer. Can't wait 'till I next time experience the sudden lenghtening! :)
Comments welcome, as usual.
Hi Stefan,
that looks phantastic! It IS growing well!

Thanks a lot :)
The dark Viking-warrior king,
glancing and gazing across his lands,
just having been wrested from foreign hands,
Hair on the shoulders, curled and flowing
Through the snow and cold winter's winds,
All the world sees the pictures he sends...
Haha, sweet! :)
Thanks for the poem!
Ha ha ha.........(not laughing at you, but with you.) I know what you mean. You've gone well past all of the hard stuff growing out your hair and have now "arrived." Once there you may "think" nothing is happenning, but it is.
Same thing happens to myself. Suddenly out-of-the-blue I realize that my hair is 1/2 way down my back. Next thing I know it's getting near waist level.
I can notice the difference and your hair looks fabulous!
Glad you hung in there. And, I'll bet you haven't a single regret either.
Thanks for sharing the photos with us.
Yeah, I know. I remember when it first got to my shoulders and it took a *long* time before it descended in the least.
Thanks a lot! And you're right, no regrets here!
Det ser godt ud "SKÅL" (looking good)
Tak skal du have :)
Der burde være flere danskere med langt hår!
(thanks)
Åh ja, SKÅÅÅÅÅÅL!
Looks fantastic, man. Great pics, and a great inspiration to those of us on the way!
Thanks a lot!
It's cool that everyone here growing their hair will most likely become an inspiration to someone else eventually. Even if you think you're not there yet, you may still serve as inspiration!
This is a suggestion for you guys with dark hair posting pictures...I think your hair would show up better if you wore a light-colored shirt...and even a lighter background.
The background is a white wall, and I don't generally dress in lighter coloured clothes :)
I change the contrast to allow for better viewing.
Hey Mesmerized, I see a difference. Your hair is looking better, and it has gotten longer. Growing out your type of hair requires much patience. The reward is sooo worth it, the longer it gets, the less frizz you will have.
Absalom
Thanks a lot man, it means a lot coming from the hair champion!
My amount of frizz has never really bothered me, but it has gotten noticably less, none the less.
Oh my God... so Mesmerizing...
Thanks :)
Maybe I should change my handle to Mesmerizing? hehe, just kidding.
To tell the truth, your hair looks somehow shorter than last time! But that's not an insult, of course - I know that tight curls, besides just masking length, can sometimes put on far bigger or smaller masks if they're in the mood and shrink or show more of your length. My hair does it all the time: one day the back is near-shoulder length, and the next day it's hanging above it like it's afraid of my scapulas.
But whatever the case, your hair is looking simply amazing. I especially like the second pic. Your progress has been awesome, and I'm sure you've inspired many people, including myself (!) to continue the journey to longhair-dom. Keep it up, dude!
That's so true. When my hair is wet it goes past my shoulder blades but usually after when it dries it curls up and appears to be shorter.
Yeah, I think it's because of the curls that it appears shorter (it does to me as well). I can tell more of a difference when it's dripping wet, I think it's past the bottom of my shoulderblades now.
Thanks a lot :)
...great to me. Enjoy!
Good Luck!
I looked like this:
But now I at the 49 month point. Hmmmmm...time for an update pic...soon!
Indeed... I would second this notion... as I'm sure many others will too!

PS- Excellent progress photo Mez... lookin good.
Thanks a lot!
I guess that's propably about the same lenght I'll be at in 7 months, except of course mine will appear a lot shorter than that.
You really do need to post new pics, your hair looks terrific.
Thanks a lot!!
Wow Mes, It's looking great!!
Thanks for the update,
- Oren
Thanks a lot!
I think you're about due for an update as well, eh?
Really cool man. Especially the second picture. Great beard there. Keep it up.
Thanks a lot! I'll definately keep the hair, the beard may come or go whenever I feel like it :)
Do you usually tuck your bangs behind your ears or wear it out like in the prog photos?
Personally, it looks better and shows more length when i leave it over the ears but because it gets in my face i tuck it behind my ears. As your hair has gottten longer has the bangs been less of a problem to wear over the ears? I guess i'm still in the last stages of the awkward phase.
I like to have it over my ears, but in my work I tend to put it behind my ears to have it out of the way. It's sort of a habit to put it back now, but I do wear it both ways.
Definately, apart from under very windy conditions where it won't stay. Other than that, it usually stays put pretty good.
hi mez,
i think your hair looks really good for that amount of grow-time - in length AND in texture !
i can imagine that it's difficult to see length progress with curly hair but that doesn't mean it's not growing - and i think it will look extremly good if it's longer !
keep on growin',
ALH
btw: i sometimes measure the fallen out strands or pull the long hairs carefully straight and measure it with an "tailors measuring tape" (don't know if you know it: its an "flexible measurement tape"
Thanks a lot for the comment :)
I do that as well, but it's been a while, so I can't recall how long it was last I did it. But it gives you a pretty good idea of how it's growing.
