I've currently been growing my hair for about 3 years. Previously I usually cut it short for the summer, but with the encouragement from the guys here on this board, I've managed to keep it growing. I see very few longhairs here in North Carolina, so it is good to know there are others out there.
Right now my hair comes to about 9 inches bekow the collar in the back. I want it to grow more, at least to mid-back. But based on past experience, it never gets much longer than it is now.
I let it grow for about 5 years back in the 70's, but it never got much longer than it is now. In the 80's I alternated between long and short, getting cut every couple of years. From 1990 to 1995 I let it grow again, but it still didn't get as long as I wanted. After a while I got tired of the bother with long hair, and buzzed it off. Now I am letting it grow, thanks to this board, and knowing that I'm not alone in my long hair desires.

Welcome aboard Red - What you've got for three years looks great!
Yes, this board is an interesting place and has been a great resource for me too.

Awesome look, dude. Long hair and the beard really become you.
My hair doesn't get any longer either. They say the older we get, the sooner that happens. [grin]

Hi, i think it is great that alot of older men are growing their hair long. Infact i have seen many grey ponytails that come into my workplace and they are everywhere. Despite your short terminal length(signs of ageing) you still have a full hairline and that is something to be proud of :)
I don't think there is a man in the entire world who would enjoy having MPB, with the exception of that looney guy who shaved his thinning hair off in a recent post further down.
It is great to know that 'the board' has been a great resource of knowledge and source of inspiration for you. Keep growing!
Willie Nelson and Charlton Heston look like you!
Very nice for the three years. I wouldn't worry too terribly much about the hair only getting so long and stopping, it looks great. Good colour too!
Your hair looks great. I envy where you are at in your hair growth. I am only into my sixth month and have a long way to go. Keep it growing!
That's some awesome looking hair there, Red! I love the way your beard works with the length your hair has now, aswell.
By the way, has anyone ever told you that you bear a rather striking resemblence to Lemmy from Motorhead like that? =D
Very good pic, Red! Great smile! Well you look really happy despite a shorter terminal length than you might like. You look great, enjoy not cutting your hair :) It looks great, I can't wait until mines that long!
You look a little like Willie Nelson.
