new thread
Hey everyone I came across this board and decided to join. You guys rock! Everyone is genuinely supportive of each other in their efforts of becoming a longhair and I am personally enjoying the journey and look foward to your feedback. I started November 17 2005 with a short "flat top" do and been growing since then. The picture posted was taken today June 1 06' (so about 6 1/2 months) with NO CUTS at all along the way. It seems that I have, for a good reason, developed an aversion to hair stylists and salons and instead, on my own, have taken good care of my hair to avoid split ends cuz I know they become a problem as length is developed. Through constant experimenting and trial and error, shampooing has become unecessary every day, and is only needed along with conditioner only about once a week.
Ill post some more pics Ive taken along the way from November 05 to present to show my progress. Thanks everyone! Rock on!
Welcome and glad that you found us.
By the looks of your hair it is going to be of the "Dynamite Fantastic" type when long. It already is looking suberb!
So glad you are going to stay away from trims etc as you let your hair grow out. Split-Ends are one thing, but the other is a waste of time as well as a heartbreaker for many a guy who emerges nearly scalped. Where as it will take you 1-1/2 years to really have something to show for your efforts that is extremely significent, it would take some of them 10. And that be "if" they were lucky.
Compared to what I imagine you looked like with a flat top, I think you probably look a lot better with some length. It certainly looks quite ok right now, and with some more length, who knows? Might look pretty good on you.
BTW I've got about a month on you. Last haircut was October 20, 2005.
Whenever I've been near a hairdresser I've made sure they never had scissors in the hand, but certainly if you take good care as it grows out, you won't regret it. Experimenting with frequency of washing/conditioning is a good idea to find what suits you best.
Look forward to it. Welcome aboard!
