new thread
I gotta say, early on it was hard - my wife hated it. Now she's pretty cool with it.
Having the board to read from time to time has been a real help - to realize that everyone goes through the awkward stages and deals with the frustrations of growing out, and for general hair care advice & tips. I've only posted a couple times, but I've been lurking for quite a while.
I've been consistently washing my hair once every two or three days and conditioning daily with te Aussie Moist shampoo & conditioner, and using the Garnier Long & Strong leave-in conditioner. I've also been taking Biotin 5000mg daily and have noticed improvement in my hair's health.
So anyway, here's a before pic from my drivers license two years ago, and an after pic taken today with my new cell phone.

And the the after....
Wow!! You don't even look like the same person at all. Amazing.
You have the same bit of wave that I do though. Toward the top it's pretty straight, but toward the end it's a bit wavy. I've kind of grown to like it actually. For the longest time I wanted it to be perfectly straight, then I learned that everyone with curly hair wants straight hair, and everyone with straight hair wants curly hair--it's true!
So I think I'll just stick with my wavy hair. I like it and it's cool to see other people with a similar look. =)
Wow....You've shaved 10 years off your face, really. The beard tops off the hair to make a very cool image. Amazing transformation. What is your goal length?

Thanks for all the positive feedback, y'all!
Yeah, I intend to continue to grow it out, I'd like to get about nipple length.
Well, I'm going to go back to lurker status....

De nada.
lol! Feel free to come out once in a while...it might get lonely back there.
Wow dude, what a difference! And a good difference, at that. You have a variety of looks on hand, from Sirius Black to a metal head to a pirate to a poet. Awesomeness!
Keep up the great work!
Peace
Nice metamorphosis (change sounds too light)....I think you should grow it longer, but I'm sure you will anyway
Incredible : not the same man :-) lol
I prefer with long hair : so you are a french musketeer !

Oh, yeah.... muuuuuch better....
Grats, dude. Well done.
After seeing your first photo - conservative, short haired typical cut and then the second the first word i said was "WOW!".
The hair is looking great and the goatee beard compliments it perfectly. You look like a different person. And may i say a much better image, you look alot cooler now. Nice growth for 2 years.
That is absolutely amazing. What a difference. you have morphed into a totally different person.
Long hair forever.

Thanks for the update,

That's amazing progress -- and an inspiration to all of us. Congratulations on sticking with it and revealing the real you.
Great disguise man, nobody will ever find you! No seriously, that is such an awesome difference! Absolutely fundamental difference, I would never conncect those 2 pics! no way I would! We need a special webpage of before and after pics of lots of guys just to show the extremely dramatic changes hair and facial hair can make in anybody. Might inspire more people our way!
What can I say that hasn't been said already? Nothing. So I'll have to simply repeat what others have said.
Your hair is looking fantastic. I really am astounded at how different you now look compared to your before shot. Long hair and a goatee is indeed a much better look for you than your short hair.
That's the thing with this decision we make to grow it long. When we have short hair, we've really got no idea how much of an improvement we will make by growing it long. As we start to get some length it's nice to see our new look.
Good job, and all the best for continued growth.
