new thread
Its funny, in the beginning I was counting the days til I hit a new month, now I'm much more casual about it because I'm finally comportable with my length. Its so much easier to just let it go and not fuss about it when you think you look ok.
So here are my 13 month pics!
Sorry for the picture overload, just cmonon its my 1 year update!
Comments much appriciated!!
~Rome
Definitely some good pics! Your hair seems to be about the length I anticipate mine will be at my 12-13 month stage, though maybe mine's a little wavier.
Anyway, great update! Look forward to more! =)
-James
I look forward to seeing your year update pics!
Congrats on a year+ of growth - The red hair/beard combo looks great!
- Oren

Hey Rome , You're hair looks outstanding. It looks quite healthy and shiny. That is some excellent progress for 12/13 months! By the way , Those new piercings look cool. They mix and match with the beard and the long hair. Well , Take care , and the best of everything to you.

Thanks for all the comments and compliments!
Hey Rome, your hair is coming along very well. It appears that you don't have much of an awkward stage problem. In another year your hair is going to look awesome.

Absolutely magnificent long hair for only 13 months Rome. You must be elated at how great you are doing.
Being a redhair is really one of the greatest nature´s gifts. Fantastic color and look in my opinion.
Congratulations! Keep up the good work.
Congratulations! Your hair looks truly awesome, healthy and shiny. I love the colour. You have hair of excellent quality and it can only get better as it gets longer. All the best in future growth.

Wow, your hair looks awesome; it looks like you've taken god care of it, so keep up the good work! PS it wears you well! *Shin*
Wow!, what an awesome look! Your hair's color, texture and thickness are all amazing. The beard really compliments it nicely too.
Your ponytail already looks thick and you still have quite a bit of hair that has to grow to reach the tie.
excellent color,excellent shine, excellent hair!! you have much to be proud of!! :)
Looking good brah! I remember when my hair was more your color vs. gray!!! AnyHEW, I'm with you on staying casual! That's my mantra lately...just let er' grow. Go Chargers!!! Bruce'ster
Go chargers???? nooooooooo. They are going to masacre my Bills today... ^_^
Fantastic!
Love the texture and colour, plus you have the right balance of facial hair. Lookin' Sharp !!
Thanks for Sharing

...to have thick, shiny and straight hair: just the kind of texture
that seems to keep the awkward phase under a bit of control!
Congratulations!
Gorgeous straight hair... and it's nice and red at that! Looks great, and will only get better at longer lengths. Keep it growin'. I'm so jealous.
Looking real nice, Rome! Great hair color also. If your hair is like mine, the little 'flip' you have on your right side, will be a gentle curl as it grows out. So true about just letting your hair grow and not worrying about it!

Awesome color, length, and sheen! Long hair isn't for everybody, IMO, but it's certainly for you. Keep up the growing, and your hair'll keep up the greatness.
Peace
Hi. This is a good set of pictures for your update. You are so lucky to have red hair and a red beard. I am envious! Your hair is growing quickly it seems and I think that you will be happy to have grown it to a longer length in about a year. It already looks great now though.
See you later, Bragi
It's starting to look long, and it suits you very well, both the beard and the hair.
Now it won't be long until your hair and beard is as long as Pilgrims! (took this photo at a gig last night, gotta promote Crimson Moonlight):
Oh and I just noticed your t-shirt as well! Nice :)
You look really terrific there Rome, such excellent pics! I really love the color of your hair and the beard is awesome too. You have good reason to be so happy, and you have a great smile too :)
1 year is an important milestone...congrats on making it, Rome! Hair is looking really great and beards ROCK! The next year is going to be even more fun...enjoy the ride!
Hey Rome, your hair is coming along great and looks well cool with your beard. What sort of length are you aiming for?
I am going for the shoulderblades at most. :)
I have to say there is something very "hawt" about some guys, such as you, when their hair is at the length and style it is in this photo. I know it's a nuisance for many of you guys when your bangs hang over the forehead and eyes, but it is the essence of cool.
That's quite a nice compliment to hear. And not even hot, but "hawt". That's the good stuff right there ^_~
w00t for hawtness haha.
~Rome
I agree. Personally I think you look quite a bit like Aragorn from Lord of the Rings.
Great update! I really love the color of your hair.
The hair suits you well together with the beard. Very nice color and good volume. Glad you start feeling more comfortable about it
Congratulations. You look great!!! Keep it growing!
LOOKS AMAZING
I would kill for hair like yours, beautiful color, but most of all perfectly straight, not only does it look awesome but when wavy hair (like mine) gets a little longer than yours it will get tangles Extremly bad.
well good luck
GENETICALLY BLESSED!
Great looking hair!
1. How short was you hair when you started?
2. Have you made any kind of trims to remove split ends or such as you've been growing it out?
Simon
Thanks!
1.) My hair was exactly one inch on top and 1/4 inch on the sides and back.
2.) I havnt not gotten a single cut or trim since my buzz cut last year. I also can't find a single split end on my head! Since I wass lurking on this board before I even made my desision to grow it out, I have done my best to take the best care possible all the way through my journey thus far.

Hi Rome,
Your hair is looking great. You've got quite a thick mop on that head of yours! The colour of your hair is really cool, in summer my hair bleaches slightly to a shade of browny red, which it'd stay like that all year : /. Also, your hair is quite long for just over a year of growth.
Well done and keep it growing!!
Neil
Don't tell anyone else here on the board this, please; BUT...
I am GREEN with ENVY!!!
Great color, great-looking texture, wonderful fullness, etc... blah blah blah blah... It just ain't fair, --- *I* want to look that good!!!!!
(Snarl, mumble-grumble, mutter...)
'Nough said!

Well it looks like you have reached that point where you can clearly see that it is looking long. I really think the colour looks neat and it is so rare to see someone with the reddish colour that you have growing their hair which is in itself a nice contrast to the norm. I'd say you're hair is exactly where mine was at the 1 year mark also. Keep it up Rome and you will be where you desire to be in no time with a long red mane.
Take care Rome.
