Hey fellow long hairs =)
Today is my 21st months of growing my hair butt length =) I've been really happy with it lately, except for the relatively slow growth and a bit of dryness... Either ways, this month I've got 14 pictures to share!! =) I have been sporting a new combing/brushing routine as well, so you can see the results... the new routine is based on the better use of the comb on my hair... it detangles better and massages the scalp (hopefully will stimulate growth =P )... I took this month's pictures in a view garden =) It's a very beautyfull place and brings me a lot of good memories from my childhood =) I also took some picturs of my hair products and materials and also a picture from the view of the garden where the pictures were taking =) I'm planing to take the pictures of the hot months in gardens just to show you around my town =) Well, here we go for the pictures, I really hope you like them... there are a lot of them , hope you don't mind =D So here it goes...
Just for you to check out the current progress... here is my hair exatcly a year before today =)
Here is me =D Yay, I'm smiling... notice how happy I feel with long hair? =D
This one is from the side... A little blurry bit oh well... I love the way that my hair travels on my back already =)
And now my favorite onw... from the back =D Notice any improovement from last month?
Now my side view ponytail... It's been really confortable to wear lately... almost no hair falls out of the tie!
And from the back =) Let me present you my pink hair tie! =P
This is my half-tail =) I'm proud to say that I already wear it in public... all the hair finally fits in!
Now this might look a scary picture since my hair looks really short... but it isn't! It's just my pseudo-bun that I wear for showering and currently to take my hair away from my back... it's a really fresh style!
Now don't die on envy... (I do, but oh well =P ) it's only my sister's hair =)
And her ponytail... you can notice her hair is already past waist lenght =) She's heading to her final goal!
Here we are... I could never be so happy having another girl as a sister... life is perfect with her =)
Now I present you my town... Lisbon! You can see the local castle on the left side... Might take some progress pictures over there in the future =)
Now my hair products =P The first one is my shampoo, Pantene Pro-V, Straight and Silky form. The second one is the normal conditioner, from the same label... And the last one is a Dove intensive treatment mask (leave in conditioner)... very good products, do wonders for my hair =)
Now the last one! (awww =P ) My brushed and combs... Now the first one and the second one are my formal brushes, I don't use them anymore... the first one broke a lot of hairs I guess... The third brush is my current boar bristle brush, perfect to mantain healthy hair =) The black comb is the one I use when my hair is dry, for detangling... the green one is to use on the shower, when I got conditioner on my hair... both are wide toothed combs...
And that's all for this month's update (I think it's a personal record for the biggest amount of pictures posted =O ) I have to say it makes me kind of disapointed that Gollan had hair much longer than mine at 21 months =( But oh well... I'll get there anyways =) I have to thank everybody on the hyperboard one again for giving me such nice advice and suport... You know you are the best, guys! I hope this forum will last forever, because I think it is very important for the keeping of the journey for every man to become a long hair... Thank's for everything...
And........ I can't wait for the next month (hihihi =P )... See ya!!!
Hi João,
thanks for posting these pictures, your hair looks phantastic! Good to see all the growth coming out of Lisboa ;-)
May your hair grow past your butts, and best wishes to your sister as well!
Hans-Uwe
Thank's for your kind comments =) I'd like to see some pictures of you as well =) And yes, I'll keep growing my hair forever more =)
Wow, those are very good pictures for this month. I know that you are pleased with the hair progress so far. It just keeps getting better and better. The picture of you sitting up on that plaque with the city in the background is great. That is an interesting castle to the left of the picture.
I was looking at a book about Portugal & Spain the other day and wrote a few lines about Lisbon. I decided to include you at the end, since you came to mind as someone from there. Hope you like it.
See ya later, Bragi
By the wine-dark Tejo gliding on,
Lies beautiful Lisbon fair and lone.
Steeples and spires to the sky do rise,
Sun kisses the new day with surprise.
From Alfama with its fado wafting,
To Baixa with its children laughing,
A city home to kings from ages gone,
Still stands Lisbon fair and lone.
In this place does a young fellow roam,
This is the city he calls his home.
As the heroes from the days of old,
He has about him a style so bold.
Long locks does he now grow,
Shown with pride, without woe.
True, forthright and honest is João,
From ancient Lisbon fair and lone.
Wow Bragi! I didn't know you were a poet in truth, though I know you write beautiful prose from your posting here. You are truly a man of many talents!
You have some talent, Bragi! Your rhyming is pretty good, and in some verses really shines, the way you link the content to the rhyme. Good stuff. I like the first stanza more than the second, although the second has a sweet tone of lightheartedness, and indeed acknowledges concepts of growth and maturity, of manliness and adrogyny, and a few others. So, overall an impressive little work.
Do you ever do free verse, or more serious poetry?
Wow, Bragi =) That was so nice of you, I feel really flatered =D Also, it seems you've got a way with words =) Also, thank's for the comments =) And a really big THANK YOU for the verses... I don't know what to say =P Really... Thank you =)
Hello guy !
your hair seems to be very nice !
Are you trying to make it as long as your sister?? lol
Peace, Fellow
Hey Fellow!
No, not as long as hers but longer =) She's also growing it more... I think we both will end up with floor lenght hair hihi ... Thank's for the comments =)
Great progress shots of you and your sister and both you hair looks in great condition. Do keep it growing and toy getting near to your goal.
John.B
Do keep it growing and toy getting near to your goal.
Yes, toying with the hair while it's growing is one of the best parts, because it's when you realise it is actually growing =) Thank's for the comment John !
Looking fantastic as always! I'm jealous of your thickness. Your ponytail circumference is huge!
What is your sister's final goal? That's great that she can participate in the monthly updates. It's fun to follow her hair as well.
Jason
Hello Jason =)
My sister's goal is classic lenght as well, we're going both for the same =) About my tie circumference, I'm so glad you think it is big! =) I'm always thinking it is getting smaller and smaller... I hope not =P You don't have to envy on anuthing... your hair is just perfect =) I mean it... Thank's for your comment =)

Hey João,
You have every reason to be happy with your progress! your hair is amazing! i especially like it when u wear it down (The picture of u on the roof) it really suits you! I can see you take a lot of care and have a lot of pride in your hair... That's great to see!! I would be 200% happy if my hair ended up half as cool as yours! Oh and your younger sister is adoreable!
keep up the great work!
PeAcE
Hey, thank's for the kind words =) I'd like to be able to wear my hair down more, but at this lenght it's kind of dificult, it mooves too much =P My sister always wears it down, I can't wait to do so =)
You have amazing hair! Congratulations in getting so far! Those are great photos too. Lisbon looks nice! I'm having a 3 week holiday in Portugal this year and really looking forward to it. Everyone I know that has been says its a really friendly place.
Good luck!
Hey Pablo, thank's for posting!
So nice you're coming to Portugal, I'm sure you'll love it... What cities are you visiting?...
Hey, João David. Your hair looks fantastic! You have reason to be proud. Your sister is lovely, as always. Your city looks great, too. Keep it growin' and flowin'!
TLH
Keep it growin' and flowin'!
Will do! ;)
And yes... my sister is just precious =) Doesn't she look a lot like a gipsy??
The first picture (not the one from a year ago) really reminds me of Mitch Kramer from Dazed and Confused
Anyhow, your hair is looking very awesome!! Just the right amount of waves, too. I hope mine looks that good someday
Who is Mitch Kramer from Dazed and Confused?
Oh well, thank's for the comment =) The waves were hard to accept but now I wouldn't live without them... I love the movement they provide =)
You always take the coolest pictures João! I love the view from your roof, fantastic! And quite a stunning collection of beautiful hairstyles too! But who is that strange short haired person in your avatar picture? ;) Seriously time for an upgrade dude! I vote for the second picture down, you look so happy, it is so you!
Hi Chris, thank's for the kind words =)
Yes, you're right...Time for updating the avatar... have to do it today if possible... Thank's again!
Lookin' Good my Friend!
I particularly like the Half-Tail...and as always, Sis looks stunning !
Thanks for Sharing
Walter White Tail
Thank's White Tail! I'm truely glad I can wear the half tail already... it's really comfortable =) And yes... my sister is more beautyfdull everyday... Am I a lucky brother or what? Lol... Than's for posting!
Amazing as always Joao!
It is getting better by the month.
I really can't say much that i have already praised about the last months, it just is PERFECT!
I really wish that society used yourself and your image as a symbol for male long hair. That would represent a positive image of male long hair that is clean, sexy, masculine and a nice guy that is very humble and honest.
Long hair is frequently stereotyped as being for rednecks, drug addicts, criminals, etc etc. Let us enlighten these ignoramouses about what long hair is really about!
Congratulations man!
You look very happy and self-content with your newly aquired locks. I bettya that smile will only get bigger as your hair gets longer :)
I really admire you for having such a loving and caring relationship with your sister. She means the world to you!
I wish my sister and I got along as you two do, we are always arguing, fighting and bickering. I guess my sis and i are two totally different people. I do seem to get along with my mum the most, she is very alike, we think and act alike, same minds.
Your sisters hair is looking really nice, i do believe she could grow it longer as it so healthy and thick.
The scenery of your town is beautiful. I would love to visit Portugal one day. That old, medieval castle looks really cool.
Is it open for tourists or is it derelict and abandonded?
Take care man.
Hey Jean!
Thank's for the long post, loved it =) You know, most people think that it is necessary to be identical to a person to go along with it but it's not true... I'm the total oposite of my sister =) I think that is the reason why we feel the necessity to have each other... We complete ourselves like a whole =) Thank's once again for the really kind comments =)
I have the same boar bristle/ wide-tooth comb setup as you do. Works well doesn't it? You and your sister's hair look really good, especially your sister's. 21 months. Good job. Soon, you'll have it to terminal length.
oohhh...Lisbon looks nice.
Thank's for posting =) Yes, the set of hair material does wonders... took me some time to manage the routine but oh well... Thank's again =)
Your hair looks great, and is showing good length now. Those are some great photos. You may want to update your avatar photo with one of these newer photos. Keep it growing.
Absalom
Hi Absalom!
Sure, I'll update my avatar today if possible =) I'm counting the months to get to your lenght haha!! Lol... Thank's for the comments =)
You give me hope!
21 months and that kind of progress? Wow!
I think that's the same shampoo I use, and it really is great. Doesn't dry out or damage my hair at all.
Really, it's like looking into the future, since my hair has a similar texture and almost exact same color. :D
Hey there =) Glad I can inspire someone yay! So you use the same products and have hair similar to mine? Good choice then, they're wonderfull, at least for me =) I'd like to see some pics of your hair as well, looking forward to it =) Thank's for the comments =)
João,
Freaking wow.
Your hair is looking so good now :) You're really going to be making people jealous mate ;)
Lol, that can't be... There are still a huge amount of people here making me jealous lol... Thank's for the comments =)
Thanks for these great pics, João. They are really an inspiration - not only how good long hair is looking on a boy like you who seemed to be born to wear long hair...but also to visit your beautiful home land and the city of Lisbon. What is the name of the river you see in the background? I live in Europe, I hope one day I will be able to visit Portugal.
Have a good longhair time and take care of your lovely sister. She can be proud to have a brother like you.
best regards
Leto
Hey Leto!
Would be nice if you visited Portugal, I'm sure you'd like it =) The river is called "Tejo"... Beautyfull name isn't it ? Thank's for your comments fellow =)
Hi João David,
I always look forward to your posts. Lots of big pictures to look at. Always interesting to see you and your sister, and where you live.
Thanks
LukeB
Hey Luke!
Thank's for the nice comments, well apreciated =)
One word: "AWESOME"!
As always, nice photographs; thanks for sharing.
And Bragi -- Thanks for the poem!
Thank yoooouuu! =)
thanks very much for all the great photos; beautiful scenery and information!
You're welcome, thank's for the comments!
Hey Joao, you're hair is looking absolutely awesome as per usual. And i'll say again what I said on you're last update. If my hair looks even half as great as yours currently does at the same length, I will be satisfied. You truly have a mane to envy and you and you're sister look so lovely together.
I wish me and my sister had the same connection but unfortunatly we don't. Keep on going and you should reach you're goal of waist length in no time. Take Care Joao.
Peace Dude.
What makes me and my sister this close is that we are friends, more than brother and sister... and more than friends actually, what's the word?? Aww... there isn't a word to specify... =) Thank's for the kind comments =)
Hey Joao -
Absolutely magnificent long hair. :-)
Bravo! Applause! Standing Ovation!
Justin~
Thank you Justin... may I ever share my future happyness with you and the rest of the forum =)
I don't think anyone's hair could get any better looking than that! Long hair definitely suits you well; great pics.
Aww, don't say that =) I'm glad you think it suits me tough =) I feel better with it at least =) Thank's for posting!
Joao..wow. Month after month you wow (well, more like WOW!!!!!!!!!!!) us with your progress pictures, to the extent that I, like I'm sure a lot of board members here, anxiously await each of your updates, and do a little inner jump of joy when one shows up. The past updates have been spectacular, but this one - this one takes the cake. Heck, it takes the whole bakery.
When I saw the first pic, I was like, "Yikes! Really?" And then I saw that it was from a year ago. What a change a year's made for your hair. The pictures are just incomparable. You with your hair flowing gently down your shoulders - that's the Joao you were born to be. It's a look that just suits you so amazingly well. How could it be any other way, eh?
Love the ponytails, especially the half-tail! I believe that's the first time you've posted a picture of one, and I'm loving it (no McDonald's puns here, I swear :P). The pink hairtie really compliments the hair, though - pink is such an underrated and downright abused color in today's male mentality, although it IS making a comeback, judging from the number of guys at college in pink shirts. At any rate, the pink is soft, feminine, and just pretty - but not in a girly-girly sort of way. It's just you expressing your inner self, and what a beautiful inner self that must be. Keep that up...it's something too many guys are afraid of doing these days.
lol, when I saw your sister's hair, I thought it was yours for a second. Seemed your hair had grown pretty fast - so fast, in fact, that you'd surpassed your sister's length in 4 clicks of the mouse. That's something. :P Don't worry, Joao, your hair will be there soon, and everything will be worth it then.
I've never seen your sister with a ponytail before. How nice! Waist-length hair is the greatest. Is she using the same hairtie, by the way? It sounds really sweet to share hair ties.
Your sister and you look so lovely together, and the love you guys have for each other is like a lover's kiss, like a dive into a clear forest pool after trudging through a hot city. It's so refreshing to see young people so close. I hope you guys remain like this forever.
Lisbon looks really cool! I especially like the castle. And yes, I'd love to see more of the city. Whenever you have time, please post some pictures!
Well, I've said more than enough, and you have everybody else's praises (and in Bragi's case, poetry) to read, so, farewell, Mr. Born Longhair. Keep up the great work, you and your sister.
Until next update,
peace
Well written Fallen_angels! Your descriptive terms and illustrations at least caused this reader to emote..
Thank you! :)
I suggest you use the second pic as your new avi! You don't even look like the same person as the old one!
Long hair really suits you!
Hi Joao
Excellent update, excellent hair, great pictures to thanks for sharing them Im glad you are more happy with your hair to yep like others have said born to be a longhair love your sister hair two ! just one questin does the Green Comb have a name as ive never seen a comb like that before !
Take Care Axel
You really could be the "poster child" for long haired guys! Good job...your hair is really starting to get some serious length. You were definitely meant to have long hair.
I'm with everybody else about changing your avatar...that short-haired guy on the avatar now is like a distant memory :)
Thanks for sharing.
Brad
Absolutely fantastic!!
Both of you look just great,
- Oren
Hey very nice! Is that your real birth sister? Pardon, but she is gorgeous! She will be a very beautiful woman. Take care of her... How old is she?
Nice hair! Keep it growing.
- BGC
Hi,
i think your hair looks great! how long so you want it to grow? mine is past my waist. i think you should get your ears pierced. they would look great with your hair in a pony tail. i have 3 in each ear!
Wow! Your hair looks ALOT longer since your last update. Keep up the good work. Your sister's hair also looks amazing as usual. It's really touching to see how close the two of you are. I've thoroughly enjoyed your journey to this point and look forward to the rest of it. Take care..
