new thread
Hey guys,
I have been offline for most of this last month battling health problems but back in time for my 18 month pics, actually one week early but I was in the mood :) . Hope all is well with everyone.
I am really enjoying the new look, I really don't recognize myself any more :)

Chris... the pics are cool! Looking very nice. I tried growing a beard and a moustache a while back. I shaved it off after 2 weeks because it just didn't look good on me [IMHO and others]. I've also been having some health issues lately [sciatic nerve] and have been in 'lurking mode' for some time. I'll post some pics soon... 2 years and 8 months since any type of haircut. Take care...

Thanks Rick, my facial hair grows even slower than my hair (or so it seems). I like the length of the goatee about where it is at now, I think.
Hope the nerve settles down soon, take care
I have been contemplating growing some kind of facial hair but I never did because the peach fuzz really gets to me when I put my head down... I wanted to grow some facial hair because everyone keeps calling me maam or lady or whatever. My mustache grows so slow I shave it like once a month, and I shave my beard every week, even then its only a small peach fuzz... My hair seems as if it stopped growing, or its my perception?
Go for it , you should give it a try, peach fuzz is better than nothing at all. You wont be a ma'am then lol
Mine grows slowly so I know what you mean,but do it anyway
Good luck and post a pic of it in a month
Looks really good, Chris. Your beard, too!
Robert
Hey Chris , Your hair is looking outstanding. I love the new look as well. I feel devastated to hear you have health problems. I hope you get better and continue to share some time with us. May god be on your side brother.

Thanks so much Chris, I really appreciate the compliments :)
Yeah I have been battling something that doctors have been unable to help with for a long time. Some problems with reacting badly to things I eat, but I seem to have made a breakthrough this last week and feeling better and back online :) I just hope it lasts
Hey dude, wow. It's hard to believe your at 18 months. Your growth rate continues to be phenominal, and yes, you really do look different. I think the goatee is your best look yet.
Thank Steve, I think my hair only recently started growing faster, but I am enjoying it. I am not sure what I think of the new look yet but I am enjoying it now.
Hi
Chris
Yeah I noticed you just started to come back online and have been poorly I sure hope your health improves now !
Regarding your facial hair i prefer your other look but everyone to his own and your hair looks longer than mine Im Jealous now even about your grey line at the front looks awesome man down or Ponytailed :-)
Axel
Thanks Axel, I am not sure what I will do but for now I am going to keep the facial hair. Its kind of fun looking so different. The grey in the goatee bothers me though, I havent gotten used to it and had everybody tell me it looks good like the silver streak in my hair. That worked for the hair cause now I like the streak, so if enough people like the grey in the goatee then I will like that too :)
WOW! That's some phenomenal progress for 18 months! You must set a record for fast hair growth! I notice a huge difference even from your last(16 month)update--and the ponytail thickness has increased immensely. Looking superb, and the facial hair certainly gives you an entirely new look. I predict waist length in another 18 months. Congratulations, and keep it growing!
David
Thanks a lot David, I am enjoying it lately. Its fun being so different now. I hope to be on here more often now too :)
Hi again Chris,
As a follow up to my earlier post, I'm so sorry to hear of your health problems. I hope it's not a long term thing and hope you are able to enjoy good health in the future.
I was also wondering about your goal length--are you aiming for waist length or beyond? I think your hair would be awesome at extreme lengths, and you should have no trouble getting there.
All the best and hope for future good health,
David
Hey Chris,
I love the new look! Facial hair looks great on you. Your hair's continued phenomenal growth rate is just awesome. It looks very healthy as well.
I'm very sorry to hear that you continue to battle health problems. I hope this isn't a chronic thing but that you can find a permanent solution.
Thanks so much Jason, I am enjoying the look, I got the idea from all the cool styles I see here :)
I am hoping to be back online here much more often again, fortunately hair grows even when you don't care much about it so now when I feel better its like an extra gift.
Hey Chris-- The new facial hair looks great on you! Of course, your hair is uniquely awesome. Hope you are doing okay and that you get better. =)
-James
Thanks for the compliments James.
I have been feeling better lately which is why I am back online, hopefully for good this time :)
Its cool, its kind of like waking up and seeing somebody new cause for awhile I wasn't paying much attention to my hair.
Wow Chris, your hair looks wonderful. I like the natural white streak in the front. The facial hair is definitely a keeper, it enhances your looks greatly. Keep it growing and flowing. And get well.
Absalom
Thanks Absalom I am enjoying the new look, everything seems to go together so well it is just a damn shame I didn't do this much sooner. It looks so cool :)
Hey Absalom I know I told you that I was trying to fight this candida I had, well I did try the Nystatin but it never seemed to work well enough for me. But I have lately found something that seems to be working that allows me to get the sugar I need but keep the candida under control. Orange juice, it sounds crazy but since I have been having lots of it I have had much better days and I am back online :)
This is good, since your body cannot function without sugars. The orange juice contains a lot of vitamin C. Do you take a vitamin C supplement as well? You may need to take several grams a day to help fight this.
Absalom
"...Orange juice, it sounds crazy but since I have been having lots of it I have had much better days..."
Chris;
As a diabetic, I find that one of the foods that sends my blood sugar WAY UP, WAY FAST is fresh squeezed OJ (which, of course, I love). Glad it has a positive effect for you. Please consider yourself, my designated OJ drinker ! HA!
Walter
Hey, I'm diabetic too! Ive never tried OJ for my blood sugar before, or any sort of drink or liquid that isnt water. I've never liked any juices, sodas, or anything besides water my whole life. Its cool to meet a fellow diabetic longhair.
Dustin
Chris - Your long locks and the added facial hair look fantastic!
Bummer about the health issues... get well soon!
- Oren
Thanks Oren for the compliments! I am enjoying the facial hair but I think I really want it kind of short, maybe a little more than it is now, certainly not like the phenomenal beard you have. Of course I couldn't grow a real beard to save my life, lol. Guess its good I don't really want to anyway :)
Amazing how fast 18 months has gone, looks fantastic!
MattT
Thanks Matt, yeah it has been quite a journey, but I am glad I kept growing out even when it didn't seem important to me. I hoped I would care eventually.
Chris,
You hair is get nice and long. You are almost caught up with me! The white adds character as well. :-)
Hope all is well,
Mike
Thanks for the compliments Mike, it has been interesting growing it out. I am glad I stuck it out :)
you look excellent and I hope your health is good now.
Thank you so much for the compliment, I am looking forward to being back here more regularly again :)
Well, like I told you via MSN, that new look is just perfect for you!
You must be really satisfied with it, congratulations!
It´s great to hear your health issues are being resolved... I sincerely hope you get better and better each day.
Take care, and good luck!
Thank you so much for the compliments. I am enjoying it and things seem to be getting better and better. I missed posting on your latest pics, they were quite cool too!
Wow Chris! Absolutely sensational!!!!!!!!!! So glad you hung-in there and didn't cave-in to a haircut.
BRAVO! :-)
Thank you so much Justin, you are always so complimentary :)
Even when I sometimes feel crappy I don't really think about cutting it cause I would still feel crappy and I would have wasted all my time so far. So I keep the hair for the times I can appreciate it.
Hey Chris glad to see you back online but really sorry to hear that you continue having health problems.I know you discussed in detail a while back what was going on with you regarding your health as it must be frustrating that its still an issue.I cedrtainly hope the doctors get a handle on it so it doesn't occupy your life so much being as young as you are.Anyway on the hair subject that has to help you feel good in spite of it all as that is fantastic progress!I have to admit when I brought up your first pic I was shocked at how the facial hair made you look totally different from your past pics.Not that its bad as I think it looks really cool.Just another look for Chris G.I can only imagine what you'll look like in another year or two.Man you were made for long hair!!!Anyway glad your back and hope to possibly chat with you sometime soon.Take care of yourself and will catch you later.Mark
Hey thanks Mark for your kind words. I hope to keep feeling better , and so far so good :)
Take care Mark
WOW, what a transformation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think your new look is a hands-down winner!!!
Seriously, I think the beard & mustache are very complimentary to your great-looking hair. You look like some movie star ready to play his part in "Pirates of the Caribbean". My only objection is that it's not MY picture (lol)!!
Hope your health stablizes and only improves. My best to you, Chris.
- Ken
Thanks Ken, I was initially kind of hesitant about gowing the facial hair but I thought it would be cool to try. This place seems to be about taking risks anyway right? Sometimes they pay off.
Hey Ken you've got no worries about being a good looking longhair, I hope I do half as well as you have :)
Wow, it's a lot longer since your last update! The facial hair is great, too. Keep growing.
Thanks a lot Wolf, hope to catch you soon on the chat room again :)
Wow Chris, your hair grows so quickly! It looks fantastic, it's great you are enjoying how you look. I can't wait to see how long it'll be in a years time!
Neil
Thanks for the compliments Neil, I really love your rockin curls too, they are so awesome :)
ur hair is looking great and the facial hair really suits you.....
keep on growing
asthepalacesburn
Thanks dude! I plan on growing for a good while yet..
Looks great. The facial hair suits you well.
Get better soon!
Thanks so much,I appreciate it. Guess I made the right choice to keep it growing, the facial hair that is :)
Hi Chris, That is a ridiculous rate of growth you have going there! What are you doing? It's awesome hair though, cool beard too. I hope you feel better every day too.
Bragi
Hey Matt, thanks a lot. I think my hair is growing at the rate it was supposed to all along. For almost a year when I first came here I was taking some hair vitamins which I suspect slowed my hair growth. Since I quit them it seems to have been much faster growing, ironic huh?
Oh Chris ! Excellent !!
The facial hair really changes your look....and the look is fantastic !!
Hope you are doing well health-wise now
Walter White Tail
Thanks Walter, you are always there to help out a new longhair, we do appreciate it.
I really do look different don't I? I am enjoying it now, hope I continue to do so.
Thank you very much, it really helps getting encouragement from all you guys. Keeps up the resolve :)
I'm pretty sure you already know how respected, liked and admired you are around here Chris, but the number of responses here should make you aware of it if you aren't already!
I'm very sorry to hear about your health issues, but thank goodness you can still look fantastic while not being in the best of health. I wish you a speedy, speedy path to full health!
As for the facial hair, I must admit-I'm diggin' it!
Especially with the little bit of white in the goatee, it looks very distinguished IMO.
And again, you are blessed with a very fast growth rate!
My very best to you.
Wow Dean thanks for the overwhelmingly kind words. I still feel like a newbie to the longhair thing though, everybody here is really generous and supportive. I must admit that everybody being so complimentary of the grey in my hair got me to feel good about it too, and thats no small thing considering I used to hide it so much. So now I feel not quite comfortable with the grey in my goatee, cause it makes me look older than I feel inside lol, but you have already started to make me feel better about that too , thanks :)
man...that facial hair really suits you!! and, as always, your hair is growin like crazy! :P
Hey thanks so much man, I appreciate the compliments. Keeps me on track to keep growing :)
Chris - great hair and the beard really does suit you.
Best wishes!
Hey thanks a million Pablo, I am glad I decided to try the facial hair, its interesting looking different than before lol
