Hi everyone. this is my first message here. I am excited that I found a board about guys' long hair. I will post a pic of my favorite, most recent pics of my hair and I would like comments/suggestions/criticism on my hair if possible. I almost never ever get positive support about my hair from my friends and girlfriend and family.Any comments would be appreciated!
Hi Whitewolf let me be one of the first to welcome you to this GREAT board!!Its so nice to have a forum such as this dedicated to men"s longhair which I've had for over 20 yrs.Unfortunately when I started growing my hair nothing like this even existed.Anyway enough about me and on to your hair.From what I can see its terrific!!I always liked totally black straight hair like yours and it would look quite awesome at mid back or longer.Of all the pics you posted my favorite is you in the green Hollister t shirt!Anyway before I forget how long have you been growing your hair and whats your ultimate goal?Again welcome and hope to see you here often.Mark

I have been growing my hair a little over a year now. It was just down to my eyes length when I started. I am not exactly sure how long I want it, but definitely to my shoulders at least. My hair has an annoying way of being mostly even all around. This is because my bangs grow out tremendously fast, and I wish they weren't as long as the back all the time, so my ultimate goal id say is to have the back 3 or 4 inches past my shoulders and the bangs an inch or two shorter. I also want to dye my hair a lighter brown, as the blackness that it is rite now is not permanent.
I like Hans' suggestion. Grow it forever! Ha Ha. Imagine what family and friends would say to that. But, again, it's your hair and your head it's growing from. So, it's your choice how to wear it. Like you, my goal is about 3 to 4 inches past the shoulders in the back with the bangs a little bit shorter. I have a longer way to go than you do though. Especially since I also have some layers to get rid of in the last two inches around the sides and back. I was wondering if you had yours layered at some point before starting to grow it out and if you experienced any wild curls along the way. Your hair appears to be all one layer at this point and, of course, looks great.

I have never had my hair 'layered' before. I have always cut my own hair, miraculously. lol, there have been some nasty accidents before... everyone in my family has always had moderately straight hair, so no, ive never experienced any wild curls before, but the bottom inch or two of my hair is starting to curl upwards because it is hitting my shoulders and back and stuff.
Hi!
Welcome aboard!
Pleased you found us and I hope you'll have an ejoyable time here on the Mens Long Hair Hyperboard. Lots of great people here to give you advice or words of encouragement.
Your hair is great! It's longer than mine of course. I'm only about 8 1/2 months into my journey. By the look of your hair, I think you may have trimmed the back once or twice and are looking for the "all one length" look. Is that right? Coz that's what I'm aiming at eventually.
Anyhoo, thanks for the pics and the post. Hope to see you posting here from time to time. Welcome again!

Hey Luke, looking good!

You've got killer hair! Hard to believe nobody ever gives positive comments. Whatever you do - DON'T CUT IT :-)

My Hair Growth Photo GalleryHi mate! Glad you found this board - I stumbled upon it around 4 months ago and its been a great help to me. At that time I was dating a girl who hated long-haired guys and I almost considered giving up but I was so encouraged by everyone here that I determined to keep growing and I'm so glad I did. That relationship failed but three weeks ago I met a wonderful girl who prefers guys with long hair so now I have absolutely no regrets!
Anyway, what I want to say is - always be true to yourself, and eventually happiness and peace will find you.
Your hair looks fantastic and you should be proud of it!
Good luck!
I almost never ever get positive support about my hair from my friends and girlfriend and family.
I can give you a positive comment...outstanding hair!!!
To inject a "professional" comment...I think your current image is already terrific and can only improve with additional hairlength. I cannot understand why you are not receiving compliments for hair as healthy, shiny and thick as yours. Even if those close to you (in physical proximity, not necessarily with your best interests at heart) haven't offered compliments, I would think "strangers" would have by now. Don't be discouraged...your longhair image is a most flattering one !! Keep growing!
my business (men's grooming/imaging) websiteYour hair looks awesome! You're really just coming out of what's called the "awkward stage," and now that you are, it will get easier to control as it continues to grow out. Is your hair naturally so dark?
I also think your hair looks very good, and healthy. One comment, based only on my personal preference, not criticism. Have you thought about parting your hair in the center? With your hair such a contrast against your skin, it would tend to balance the look.
Once again, you may not want part in the middle, and that is fine. Just my 2 cents worth as you requested comments.
Don't let the negative comments get you down. We all get those. Just keep doing your thing.

Personally, I think Whitewolf's hair is going to look great no matter where he parts it. But, a middle part probably would look quite good.
Welcome to the board Whitewolf. I agree with everyone else. You should be receiving nothing but compliments for your hair. If your girlfriend can't accept and appreciate you as you are, TRUST ME, you will be better off to end the relationship. If you were to give in to her and cut your hair, then you will have given her all the power and you will be absolutely miserable as a result. I would say the same for your friends. Your family will just have to accept it.
I'm sure that many, if not all, of us here would LOVE to have hair that looks as good as yours. I'm currently still in the awkward stage and also have some leftover layers from the last haircut that I had several months ago. I also have fine hair and it curls up quite a bit at the ends right now. One of my goals is to eventually have the remaining layers cut out so that it's all one thickness and therefore has more weight to it. I can only dream that mine will look as good in the coming months as yours does now.
Keep growing and be proud of it.
I think you should grow it longer =) It fits you really nicely, good job! Don't care about what others think, if you like it, then who cares?? Gongratulations so far =)
Looks great! Don't let them tell you otherwise...they are just jealous.

Your hair is looking great! It befits you very much and I wish for you continued success in growing it out to how long you want it.
Glad you found us here. Welcome.
As for the "positive support," this seems to be normal before the hair really attains length. Just hang in there. This negative stuff always goes away for most guys after two years and compliments actually start coming in instead.
Hi Whitewolf,
you got phantastic hair and long hair suits you excellently! By all means, get more length, grow it as long as you can!
Good luck!
Hans-Uwe
P.S. If you can make some contact with some long-haired guy in your environment, by all means do. Mutual support goes a long way.
Whitewolf, your hair looks most excellent. Beautiful and shiny... keep growin' it! And welcome to the board; this is a very cool community of long-haired guys and some very nice and insightful women.

You are a delightful rarity, Whitewolf. I haven't figured out why yet but men tend to ignore their styling option of a side part for long hair. It looks good on you and makes you stand out. Welcome to posting!

Nice hair there. Seems like you've got the same type I do (my picture's very outdated though).
Only difference is I prefer my bangs to be a little LONGER than the back....my hair's all around past my shoulders, but when you look at me from the side, it kinda has a diagonal slant downwards towards my chin. 'Cause the bangs are an inch longer than the back. I like it :P
Anyway, I dunno why you don't get support for your decision, but then neither did I. And my closest friends and the people on here seem to agree that my hair is beautiful :) Yours is too. Don't ever compromise something you really want in order to please someone else. If they can't respect your needs and desires, they can't really ever respect you. Don't worry about anything. Just do, dress, and look how you want, and plug a finger in your ear when someone doesn't like it.
