Ok, I decided to grow my hair long, so in december last I got my head completely shaved. Sadly (gladly?) no pics of that, but I do have a few from hols last week. I'm in the middle of the awkward phase now, and it does get in my eyes from time to time, especially in the wind. I was thinking of getting a maintenance cut, does it look to you like I need one?
btw I just found this site a few weeks back and it's great!
That looks extremely fast growth - do you mean 2005?
No need whatever for maintenance cut at this time - the awkward stage maybe about to start but not yet.
Yes December 2005. I've had a few comments on how fast it's grown, it's about 4.5 - 5 inches I think.
I haven't reached the awkward stage yet! Aw man, I guess I gotta stick through it.
Wow... it takes the average person 7 - 8 months for there hair to get that long. Was this like a buzz cut you had?
=( I've been growing mine since Feb 05 and it's not much longer
than that!
Wow, your hair is almost the same length as mine tho its taken me 10 months to grow from shaved! I took the advice of more experienced members on here and havent had any maintenance cuts. I'm happy with the progress now as i'm starting to get comments from friends on how my hair looks better longer. Sometimes I use a little gel on the front to keep it out of my eyes which helps.
Best wishes!
I wish mine would grow that fast! Kudos to you. I am going to let mine grow out but my problem is I have fine hair with a little body. Also, thinning. Are there any thoughts regarding these issues. I don't want to look like an sparse haired dog.
trying to attach a pic...although not a good one.
Your hair must grow like wildfire! You have only been growing for 5 months and it is already around 5 inches. That's about double the average rate of growth per month which is extremely fast. I like the orangy colour and it is going to look great long. My friend has straight, long, orange hair and it looks really sweet. So what's your secret to such rapd growth rates? lol
Lookin' good dude! Nice goatee too!
You have some incredibly fast growing hair and not only that but a great texture and a very cool color! Don't cut anything for a long while yet, may be years before you need to cut anything other than split ends. As for the awkward phase you still have a long way to go. Course everybody has thier own definition of awkward phase anyway.
You are a natural for long hair if ever there was one, definitely keep growing!
Very cool. You have excellent progress so far and even more excellent hair to work with, health- and color-wise. Keep up the great work, dude.
By the way...has anyone ever told you you look just like the guy that plays Ron in the Harry Potter movies?
Your hair is almost long already. If your let your hair grow another 4 months or so (assuming your growth rate doesn't slow down), it should be about as long as mine was after over a full year's growth.
Congratulations!
how in the world did your hair grow so fast in such a short amount of time???????
It took me atleast 12 months for my hair to start looking longish. This guy grows an inch per month! I'm so jealous! lol
one of my mom's friends used to say the same thing about my sisters. she used to HATE dealing with their hair bc it would grow so fast and it's so thick lol she said "don't ever bring your daughters back to me. their hair grows back while you're looking at it!" lmao in fact, i think all 5 of my siblings hair grows fast except mine =/ lol
Hello
Welcome to the Board
idarco
You are stating you have five to six months hair growth and the question you have asked is do you require a maintenance cut the answer to your question is NO as when your growing your hair out long means that the only time when you should get a Trim is due to split ends or some people call the dead ends, Ive been growing mine out since the end of October 2004 not had a maintance cut as yet
Happy growing
Axel
My hair is about your length, I've been growing since October, and my head wasn't shaved. How the hell do you grow it so fast? That's incredible!

I don't think I'd get any trims. Your hair is so straight, so you probably haven't had many tangling problems or reasons to trim.
The long red hair is going to look great, and really and truly already does now.
Good luck with it all!
See ya later, bragi
Welcome, Idarco. Your hair grows incredibly fast. You got 4 to 5 inches of length from a shaved head in 4 months? That has be close to a world record. At that rate, it will reach your waist by the 2 year mark, unless you are super tall, like 6 foot 6 or something.
Your hair is perfectly straight so it will grow very long with a minimum of problems. My advice is to not trim it at all, just let it grow.
Not sure how good long red hair can look? Take a good look at this guy. This guy's hair looks great.

As everyone has said, that is super fast, i have been growing mine from december from a head shave and its about half that length (which is normal growth).
It looks excellent and hangs really well, DO NOT TRIM!!
I will be interested to see the next 4-5 months.
