Hi everyone,
Here is my 5 month progress report. I'm very happy with my progress so far, and the condition of my hair. It's now at a point where when I condition it in the shower, I can have a lot of smooth, soft hair out in front of me, resting on the back of my hand.
I hope I have what it takes to stick it out and get some good hair growing for a long time to come. I think I can, I think I can...
First, here is the back. I seem to have a couple of flips on either side, mostly on my right. Will see how that settles down in time.
Then a side shot. Soon to cover my ears entirely.
All is going great with my hair. More and more pleased with it with every passing week and month, but there's obviously still a long way to go.
Comments most gratefully accepted :)

Next, a front shot showing my bangs starting to get into my eyes. I finding myself having to flick my hair regularly or moving it to one side with my hand.
Then a side shot. Soon to cover my ears entirely.
And lastly, a general shot taken in the backyard.

you have the perfect kind of hair for growing very long. so silky and shiny. not to mention it will show all it's length because of its straightness. what is your goal length?
Goal length is currently shoulder length, but who knows? Might extend that when I get there.
Thanks

Luke B,
Your hair is looking good.
It is clear that you have super straight hair texture and it is going to look marvellous as it gets longer. It will be a breeze for you , give it another year and you will have shoulder length hair! I like the colour too, nice reddy ,dark browns.
Are you going to trim the back to stop the 'mullety' look or just let it all grow out. Many guys do trim the back but if i was you i would just let it all grow out so you get to your goal faster.
Your bangs are starting to get to the length where they are gonna go in your eyes and face. Maybe you could try a centre part soon and see if they stay down. Once they get long enough they will sit snug behind the ears. You could also gel it back if you don't mind the look. Basically, you should find ways to combat the awkward stage, be creative and experiment!
If you want to grow out your hair and leave a short fringe that would be cool aswell(although i'm guessing you aren't fond of a fringe as it might be too 'feminine').
Thanks for the update and take care. Jean.
I think I'll just let it go coz I'm a bit hesitant to let anyone touch it. Don't know if I can trust them.
Yes I do play with the idea of styling it while I wait for some length.
I'm going to leave the fringe to grow, otherwise it will look too feminine I think.

Looking great Luke!
Keep it growing,

Hi Luke B,
I have to say, independently of the fact that I like long hair much better than short hair, you got a face that almost "requires" long hair. In other words, you are obvioulsly looking better and better as your hair gains length. I'm looking forward to seeing your 2007 and 2008 updates!
Happy growth!

Ok here's what I meant to say before I accidently hit enter. Haha. Looks like we both had to try it again.
Your hair is looking excellent. Nice shine to it. I remember when I first started having to move it out of my eyes. It's a great feeling isn't it? Try and focus on those little rewards and it will make the growing seem more bearable. Just wait untill you reach the "I can put my hair in my mouth" stage. Haha. Growing hair is so fun and the reward is so great. I'm glad you've choosen to take the journey. Good luck and great job so far.
Great progress so far, Luke. Straight hair like we have is so easy to grow, which is good if you're impatient like I am. :)
Soon you'll have hair in your eyes, so you'll actually have to part it. I had a side part for a long time, but when it gets long enough you do need a center part like 80s said.
It's fantastic that your growing out, the world needs more independent minded longhairs :)
