Hey there fellas!
Today marks my second year worth of growth. I just can't express how happy I am =) It seems I only started yesterday... I am trhilled with my lenght and even will to trim a bit to make my ends look better =) I think I would never have done it without your help, I have to thank everyone in this board for being the way you do... =) =) =) =) =)
This month my hair grew well. I have been wearing it loose more times tough I shouldn't 'cause it is still too hot for that. I have decided I'm not trying braids untill december, because i need more lenght yet.
I don't know if my hair is on an average lenght for 24 months, or longer or shorter... I'd like to know what do you think =)
This month's pictures were taken in a garden, one of my favorite ones. It's really near my home, and I passed a big part of my childhood playing there will my cousin Carina (my inspiration and my sister's to grow long hair). It was a little sunny so my hair doesn't look it's best =P Tough I have several pictures taken at home as well and one picture showing the back at home as well from a few days ago (I didn't liked the way the one taken in the garden came out =S since it doesn't show the lenght properly =P ). I'm also posting pictures of styles, a wet picture, a picture of the hair I shed when I wash my hair (please tell me if that shed rate is normal), and some artistic pictures =D
Let's go see the pictures!!!! I hope you like them =)
Mmm... Yes, I shed this much =(
My hair one year ago, when it was one year old =)
And my hair now =) Do you think I am nearing mid-back?? How many months do you think it should take??
My hair when it's wet... There's not much a diference from the dry picture, just some more centimeters... i recently have been liking the feeling of my hair wet =)
Now on to the garden =D This is me from the front... I liked the way it came =)
And from the side (I think that the side pictures makes my hair look so much shorter =S... oh well =P )
And the other one from the back... See what I mean =P That little dog was jumping to the water... He was so cute =)
This is my ponytail from the side. Ponytails feel so comfortable now... =)
And from the back (YAY!)
My half-tail. I prefer low half-tails, they are more comfortable. i still remember some months ago it wouldn't secure. Now it's just as secure as the ponytail =)
Now my sister... This one is her from the side... (Just look at the beautyfull surroundings as well =)
And her beautyfull adorable stunning straight shiny vicious brilliand hair!
Her ponytail looks soooo long!
This is a new kind of picture =P Me and my sister from the back =) Notice the diference in the hair type =D
Now the styles I tried today =) The first one is the multiple tie ponytail (I don't wear it out), the second is my bun like, which I wear in the bath and when it's really hot, the third is a half braid (that's needs more lenght), the fourth is an atempt at the two pigtails =P, the fifth is my hair set to one side and the last one is how I usually wear my hair at home, with a claw... it's really practical =D
And my bangs =) I have to say that i love LONG bangs =) I'm so happy with mine =) I hope they don't stop growing soon =)
My hair stretched in the back... One more year and a half and I'll probably reach waist =) Cross your fingers!!
My hair all to the front of my shoulders =) I like to have it that way but I don't like how it looks from the back =) I feel like having a lot of hair =P
Now the artistics pictures =) This first one is a black and white with a focus... Came out alright =)
This one was simple lightened up with photoshop =D
This is my favorite one =) I saturated it and made the contrast higher =)
And finally =) Me and my sister =) =) =) =) =) I love her so much =D
Amd this was the pictures for this second year of progress on growing my hair long =) This was definitly a big record on the number of pictures I ever posted.
I hope I didn't bothered you guys =) I only hope that you'll be here always to follow the next two, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7... oh well, the next decades of growth =)
I would never done this without your suport =) I just can't wait for the next two years now =) Thank you guys for everything =)
See ya!
You have some of the best hair there is. Continue to grow and take care of it. And take care of your sister too. She's precious.
Wow! Talk about progress, your hair looks awesome. You should try a side ponytail just for the hell of it.
Hey Joao!
That's some hair update. Looks really cool, and you sister's hair is stunning too.
Wish mine was as good as that!

You have wonderful hair! Looks very nice. Keep it growing and healthy....
Chris
I think your posts on here are a ray of sunshine, and your hair is as beautiful on the outside as you are on the inside :o)
Just one word :
Wow !
That was the word... =)
So, great progress, your artistically touched pictures were great too !
Peace, Fellow
Joao David, your hair looks great. I know a number of people that would love to have the hair and type of hair you have.
And I especially like to see how close you and your sister are. Family is a special thing.
Kudos to you.
Big George
Ahh, the sweetness....
You and your sister are like bright sunshine...thanks for posting these wonderful pics!
Fantastic hair! Well done in getting this far, its looking better every month!
p.s. Just had a holiday in Portugal - I really enjoyed the country & met some lovely people. Stayed near a little place called Porto Covo, and in Lisbon for the last two days. You guys really have lots of sunshine there - since I came home to Ireland its been constantly raining!
Truly Fantastic Now Joao that is some fantastic growth. You're hair looks absolutely great and you're sister's looks great too. Those shots are really good and you sure have come a long way in 2 years. Love the artistic imagery in some of the shots as well.
Keep going and you will continue to make everone envy you even more.
Take Care Joao.
I am so envious of your hair, you have achieved a great milestone, hope the next 2 year are just as great!
Congratulations on your second Long Hair Anniversary!
Nice series of photos!
Congratulations and Good Luck!
!!!!!! I never realized your hair was that amazing. It's as coarse as mine, but looks INCREDIBLY soft! And it all blends together in itself so well. Usually I see layers of hair in mine, with the line being a little uneven, but yours rests perfectly atop your head.
You're right though, hair always looks shorter from the side :( At least at this stage when we think it rests over our shoulders, but it really just displaces itself over them and makes it look a little shorter. Your growth seems fast to me though, and it still looks plenty long - the side view is always deceiving! Or maybe we're just always deceived from the front and backside appearance.
And this was a really good update post, not just from the update itself, but from the quality of the writing, ideas, and pictures! I'm not going to update again until I'm at the 2 year mark either, and you've given me a few ideas for my own!
Good luck to you! To terminalllllllllllllllllll! :)
And a quick afterthought; your sister is adorable and you speak very kindly of her, I agree with Big George in saying that it's very nice to know you have that kind of a relationship with your sister. I wish her well in her growth too! Her hair looks very long, even, and straight right now, and it can only get better!
Hey João,
Big contratulations on your 2 years of growing out! :)
EEew! hair in the drain picture (that's a first lol).
I believe I shed more than that and I have less hair than you do (sigh) so I guess your shed rate is great for how much hair you have.
Your hair length is quite impressive and the pictures in the sunny garden are terrific, I think the shine looks wonderful. Both with the tail and loose are great looks for you, but your hair is most impressive when loose even if its not always convenient :) The half tail is quite stunning too.
As usual João your hair is fantastic and just what this board is all about! Looking forward to more years to come.
Excellent pictures and congratulations.
Your hair seems very adaptable and suits all styles, I personally love the half tail, great! Keep it going.
Can't see the pics! :((
Do you perhaps use firefox? View this thread IE instead, I had the same problem. :D
Great hair, man. And look how thick your ponytail is. It's just beautiful. Keep up the good work.
You should consider getting your ears pierced as well. It looks great. Especially when you consider growing your hair really long, like you do.
Cheers
Wow Joao! Those are the most fantastic photos ever of your progress............and is it EVER superb! And your wonderful younger sister, stunning!
That is truly Killer Long Hair if there ever was.........and only 2 years. Incredable!!!!!!!! I can only imagine what 4 years will bring.
Oh yes, I would think mid-back for you is not so long away, like about 3-6 months is my best guess.
Those are truly astonishing Photos and something for you to treasure for many years into the future. I am so glad you shared them with all of us. A GREAT inspiration, no question!
BRAVO!
Justin~
super-cool hair...I especially like the pic with the braids..*thumbs up*!!
Congratulations...
You've shown such positive energy here that it would be remiss not to acknowledge and support your remarkable journey!
Your hair suits you perfectly and the obvious bond you share with your sister is beautiful! Keep it growing!
Omg great hair João David! :D It looks really good and it also has a lot of volume. Btw it was a surprise that on 12th you have a "hair birthday" as I'd put it cuz I also do then. On your 2 year progress I had my 4 months progress lol still can't post pics though :(
That's some update! Really amazing hair. Love the color and how shiny it is. Bet you use a lot of conditioner? It looks like it's working out very nicely for you. Your halftail is also very inspiring as I started using that hairstyle more frequently lately. I like that shirt also. You look like a hippie, in a good way. ;) It's also nice to see you such good relation with your sister.
What can I say- just amazing! Your hair is gaining in length seemingly quite quick now.
The pictures you present are always varied and interesting, as always your special sister is there with you and the love you have for one another is clearly seen.
Just fantastic, & waist length will be there before you know it!
Thanks for acknowledging my update, by the way. I appreciate it.
Peace
No worries, sorry i couldn't do it at the time.
(and lets stop this now in case Joao gets mad! :)
Great pictures as always. I like your shirt too! It looks kind of like a pirate. Both you and your sister have such nice hair.
Adeus, Bragi
Excellent Joao you had great fun with you different styles
Axel
Beautiful stuff as always, man. The pic from a year ago really illustrates how far you've come, and how superior added length and weight is to awkward stage hair. I mean wow, just wow, what a change. The way that your waves have relaxed, I'm confident that your hair will be pretty darn straight at the roots from butt-length and beyond. And I'm jealous of your talk of comfortable tails - mine still give me trouble, especially for braids - the front just has no desire whatsoever to stay in. It and the hair tie just don't get along. ;P
Excellent collage of styles. The half-tail immediately brought to mind Jesus, although I've never seen Jesus depicted as having hair pulled back; I don't know. It was merely one of those flashes of intuition.
Oh, and your bun looks AWESOME on you. You've got to wear that more often. It's just - ah, I hate you so much, lol. :P And you should probably tie the segmented ponytail lower if you don't like how it looks. And the pigtail braids give you a warrior-esque look, for some reason. lol, good stuff.
Your sister and your bond with her are as gorgeous as ever. What a true princess she'll grow up to be in a few years!
Keep up the amazingly stellar work, man.
Peace
As always great pictures! Your hair is fantastic! And your sister's hair is so silky smooth! Thanks again for shareing a bit of your country with us.

Hey João
Your hair is coming along well and is on target for 2 years of growth. I am amazed how thick your hair is. The girth of your ponytail is probably 10 centimeters or more. The thicker your hair is, the more hair you have, and the more you will shed. Considering the incredible volume of hair on your head, the amount you shed is small.
Keep growing it, the best is yet to come. In about 2 years, it will reach your waist, and will go into a long braid as thick as your wrist.
Absalom
Hi João
Your hair and your sister's look great.
It's not that important to have hair down to the floor for it to look good. While it's subjective, I think hair has an optimal length range for each individual when it looks its best.
I think your hair will still look good after another two years of growing, though that's just my subjective opinion.
Nice, historical-looking town you sive in too.
Congratulations and keep it up.
Charles
Awesome, João! You have beautiful hair. If mine turns out half as nice as yours at the two-year mark, I'll be very satisfied.
Look forward to seeing what the next two years have in store.
Muito bem! (sorry, I'm slowly learning Portuguese)
=)

Congratulations on your 2-year progress, João!
Your pics are beautiful and inspiring, as always.
Another thing I am always admiring is your clothing style. Your shirts and the necklace are not only perfectly fitting to your hair but are also very tasteful (and "unique").
This time I found something in your pic collection I will try myself - the one on the smaller pics you call "bun like". that looks very interesting. But I am afraid my hair is not long enough. But I will try it.
Thanks for the pics + have a good time and further growing success.
best regards
Leto
Wow man.. just wow!! You have some of the best looking hair, honestly! It's about as think as mine, too. Your length looks like it's close to mine too, and you're only at 2 years! That's impressive! (Not that my hair grows all that fast anyway, haha).
It looks like you really know your hairstyles, too. I like doing the multiple ponytail, using 2 hair bands. I've never really tried a bun, or even a half tail, but I've been meaning to try the half tail for awhile now.
Great progress man.. it looks so awesome!!
Great Progress
You really have excellent hair and you show how good long hair can look on a guy.
The styles you choose are also show an example on how long hair can look neat on a men. Your pictures are very creative. Thanks for sharing
