A little over 20 months.
Here's a side shot.

...And a braid
That braid rocks hard, Oren. You've come such a long way. It's truly unbelievable when you glance at your old progress pics.
I personally prefer the parted look, but whatever works for you! The brushed-back look isn't bad, really. Just a nitpick.
Wow, your hair looks so healthy. How do you keep it back like that, without a parting?
Thanks,
I don't know - it just seems to lay that way easily naturally.
Great hair, Oren! You've really made great progress. Keep it growin' and flowin'. TLH
You have top quality hair Oren. This update especially shows a significant increase in length. Congratulations! Was that a self-braid? I need to learn...
Thanks Jason,
Yes, I do my own braid.
I used to self braid my hair when I had it long before. The "programming" is still there. Easy to do - hard to describe...
A self-done French braid is described here:

The point where she is doing the 3-strand part is pretty much like what I do.

That's fan-tastic! Love the red beard!
You have got some fast growing hair. I like the braid too. Very cool.
How long do you plan to let the beard get? I bet you will be able to braid it too soon. In the world beard championship web site, there was a picture of a guy with braids in his beard. It was sweet. He put several in, but even a single one or two would look good.
See ya later, Bragi
Thanks bragi!
No particular goal for my hair or beard - just letting 'em grow.
I've been able to braid it a little bit.
Man Oren! That is quite a difference from the last update...we started about the same time and you pics make me regret my 2-3 trims even more!
Lookin' good.
its looking amazing oren, keep it up!
Wow Oren. That is spectacular progress and looks simply awesume! You certainly have arrived ahead of time. :-)
What is your long-term goal?
Justin
Great pics and progress, however, like i stated before, too keep that young and youthful appearance, please shave off both the beard and mustache. its not you.
Thanks kevin!
And thanks for the honest opinion about my beard. I have always had facial hair in one form or another for the past 25 years - it is very much a part of me. My beard is my companion. ;-)}}}

Great job, Oren.
Oren, your hair is just AMAZINGLY SHINY, SOFT WHATSOEVER!!! Incredible... and you don't know how strong I am aiming for a braid! I leave the comments about your beard to other (I must admit that I'd shave all my face if I were you but oh well lol =) ) but all I can say about you hair is that I am impressed: because of the colour, the growth and the BRAID! Gongratulations fellow, you've come a long way right now and you did it so well. I wish you good luck for the future, and not only about your hair but also about your beard, because it's your choice and I have nothing to do but suport you =) Thank's for the magnificient pitures =)
Awesome hair, Oren.
I cannot even imagine how great you would luck with a trimmed beard to really show off your face and hair.
Awesome pic!!!!!!!! your hair looks fantastic!! Good to see you let your beard grow out too, good combo!!!
That's an incredible head of hair and an awesome-looking beard. Congratulations!
Beard looks great! Don't listen to other people telling you that it doesnt suit you.
Right on Oren, your hair is looking GREAT!!! How often do you wash it? Looks real healthy and shiney
Thanks,
About twice a week.
WOW That Is Awesome Oren! Looks really great! you must be delighted with how your hair is looking! and Now the beard too.
Keep it up, Brilliant.
Awesome beard, awesome mane! Thick, wavy red beards and manes are rare, Oren, and you've "got it", great to see you're flaunting it!

Thanks Bill,
Every new inch has been interesting...
Fantastic! I had a look through your progress pics and was amazed how quickly your hair has has grown. Nicely got up site BTW.
You always look happy too, which is a plus (I would too with hair like that)!
No offence but I always think long beards look a bit 'pube-y' if you know what I mean. I think it's the texture of the hair that does it.
Thanks!
I'll admit that day hasn't been a really good beard day. It's in one of its "mini awkward stages".
The website has been an ongoing effort to teach myself HTML.

very nice fur you have there!
I got late, as usual... but anyway, allow me to congratulate you for the fantastic progress! Your hair is looking amazing, really shiny and well cared for! Wonderful work!
Now your beard it´s another story... I truly wish someday I can grow one like that, it´s simply marvelous...
Ok man, take care, and congrats once again!
Cool avatar dude! Very Conan The Barbarian!
Wow Oren, your hair looks awesome. The length is really starting to show and that beard is just insane (in a good way). Thanks for the pics and congrats on another successful month.
Oren, your hair and beard look fantastic.
Absalom
It's really starting to get very long now. 12 inches is where the fun begins. That beard is looking better too. Thanks for the great update Oren.
Thanks a lot everyone for the great responses!
Much appreciated.
- Oren
Wow your hair is getting long, and that is quite the beard you have going.
Excellent progress Oren, it really starts to get long now. Maybe you should include some pictures were your hair is parted to the sides next time. :)
The beard looks awesome too.
...on the BeardCommunity site as a permanent fixture!
Beard and hair look great. Do you plan on keeping the beard long? Shaving it off?
Or are you planning on keeping a 'natural' look?
Good Luck!
Thanks!
Yes - I plan to keep the beard long and natural for good while. I have been enjoying it very much.
- Oren
I'll bet you could get a 'role' in a film based on just the way you look!
Speaking as an artist, you have a very 'classic look'!
You must have received comments from others; I wonder what they said?
Good Luck!
