Hi everyone. My name is Kris and I am 17. I have been trying to grow my hair out for about a year now from when I shaved it off last year around june/july. Since then, I've had it trimmed, murdered, etc. But now I more informed about long hair after researching like crazy. So I am just going to let it grow out without anymore trims and letting people murder it -people kinda bullied me into it but now that will never happen again-. I've been coming to this site and just reading posts etc for awhile now. I am hoping length wise, to grow it out past the middle of my back in a couple years.
-hopes these pics show-
here is a pic of me from the side which i just took a few days ago..sry i haven't combed it much..i tend to just use my fingers to detangle my hair but comb it every other day or so to try and get some of the breakage out.
and a pic of me just to show what i actually look like taken a week or two ago.
Welcome, nice to hear you decided to stop listening to what everyone else says and do your own thing. I had the same problem, and trust me, people will keep telling you to get a haircut. But if you ignore them long enough, they'll accept the fact that it's your choice.
Looks wise, here's my analysis; In about 4-5 months, you'll look exactly like my friend, who looks exactly like Kirt Cobain. It's the whole chin length, parted blonde hair thing, it'll go away. After that, you'll get what I wish I could have, which is cool, mildly curly hair past your shoulders. Look at James Hetfield for examples.
So, yeah, keep it growing, and don't look back. If people tell you it looks bad, or to cut it, they're probably jealous. So keep it up and make it your thing.
Hey, welcome aboard. You're mane is looking sweet and you should definatly grow it as long as possible. Congrats for not worrying about what you're mates think about it and just going for it.
My folks are always pressuing for me to keep mine at medium length, and I just keep saying no as I know what I prefer and that's as long as possible.
Keep it growing dude.
Has anyone ever told you that you look kind of like Layne Staley from Alice in Chains? lol I guess i just noticed because i have a poster of him on the wall next to my computer.
Anyways, I think that your hair is going to look awesome at midback. That is the length that i am shooting for myself. =)Although I'm sure you will reach it before me since your hair is straight. Good luck and keep us posted.
Kris,
Great pics. Your hair looks great. I look forward to seeing more pics as your hair continues to grow.

Welcome to the board. Nice hair!! Keep it growing!! Don't let anyone "murder" it or bully you into cutting it. It's your hair not theirs. Be your own MAN!!! How long do you intend to grow it?
I'm hoping for mid back length or even longer.
Just want to say thank you and making me feel welcome here everyone. I plan to post as much as I can when I have the time. I feel very encouraged by everyone and thank you again for the replys you gave me. I apreciate it.
Hi Kris,
on your first b/w picture you look a bit like Jarkko some six or seven years ago. Jarkko still posts on this board occasionally. He started off with a hair cut similar to yours a while ago, and now his hair is at waist-length. He is especially good at experimenting with some unusual hair styles (eg buns, braids, etc.), and they all look cool on on him.
What I want to say, you got both the face and the kind of hair texture that is ideal for growing it as long as you'd ever want it - so, go for it! Looking into a mirror will feel better on a weekly base! Once you have gained a few more months worth of length, just start experimenting whenever you feel like it - it'll look even better!
Wishing you happy growth and Hair Peace,
Hans-Uwe
