hi folk,
today it's been 16 months since my last haircut (I've come a long way!!)
also...today is a special month for me...it's been exactly ONE year since I've decided to grow long hair,AND...exactly one year since I discovered this board!! :P
I already had 4 months of growth when I decided to grow my hair,as it wasn't uncommon for me to get haircuts every 3-4 months (I was too lazy to get more frequent haircuts!! :P)
To be honest,I really don't remember what was going through my head at the time of the decision. I really don't remember WHY I decided to do it...but I must tell you..I'm GLAD I made that decision!! I haven't looked back since!!! Thanks to this board, and a little bit of self-determination, I'm still going strong :)).So, having said that...who's up for some champaigne?*opens up champaigne bottle,but suddenly remembers that alcohol is BAD for the hair* hmmm...maybe not!! :P *puts champaigne bottle down*
lol...
anyway,sorry for the long-winded post. Let's now get the pictures..:)
lol...had no idea the back could look like THAT!!( I didn't touch the hair at all and just let it airdry,of course with the cone-free method)
Dude, nice. I like how thick your hair is. I also did cuts every few months before I decided to grow my hair out, and I always had the bangs trimmed, so it's not as even/long in the front as it could be. Your pictures are truly a testament to what good hair can be :)
Oh, I like all the cans of Mountain Dew in the background too, LOL!!
JeffL
lmao!! I didn't even notice the cans in the pic!!I was too astonished at how my back looked to even notice...but yeah...those aren't the only cans...I have plenty cans on the floor too!! :)
looks good
thanks man!!:)
Just brilliant - jealousy...
hehe...never in my wildest dreams did I expect someone to be jealous of MY hair when I was first starting out..I'm flattered..thanks!!
Nice hair and nice to see somebody else is a Dewaholic.
may the power of DEW be with you!! :P
Wow, quite amazing volume you have. Were the curls a surprise? Its interesting how they only really get curly halfway down the length. Awesome, I hope you like curls :)
Super congrats on it, looks awesome!
I was really surprised!!!Now I know why my supervisor at work was saying that I have awesome curls!!I was like "are you crazy?I don't have curls!!" :P
Those are some fantastic curls you have going there. Now I'm waving the fist in jealousy...
I like the volume and color. Keep going, you will love it even more.

Looking awesome! You have a great head of healthy hair with INCREDIBLE thickness! Quite a transformation from your avatar. A toast to you, and keep it growing!
David
Hey Dave,
thanks!!I'm quite looking forward to your January updates!!take care! :)
Dang, that is some fine-looking hair for 16 months of growth! So shiny and healthy... Perhaps it's time for an avatar update? =)
-James
yeah..I'm quite surprised myself...about a week ago my hair was very dry (from the cones,obviously). I started using Vo5 and now my hair is in top shape!!
yeah..I'm gonna change my avatar pic in 2 months!(by then my hair will theoretically be twice as long as the avi pic!!).Good luck in growing your hair out too!!:)
Champagne is always good for the whole body!
In this case there is double celebration. - We'll crack two bottles at the 24 month stage.
what?you and I are at the same month?awesome!!:)
hey Dean,
thanks!!btw,I don't see you post as often anymore!!are you busy? :(
Yeah I am, but hopefully that will ease off...in the next few decades or so :)
Anyway there are a few key things I may post about in the near future, but at this point I'm happy moderating, replying to certain posts that I feel really warrant it, such as yours (great progress man!)and keeping up my own 'longhair fight'.
Peace.
Nice one mate! Your hair is going to be one awesomo mop when it gets really long. My hair grew in a similar way to yours but maybe slightly thicker, but WILDER. Your hair on the other hand looks fantastic! The curls are very defined, no frizz - great. When it gets longer it'll probably look like Dave Mustaine of Megadeths hair, except brown. Keep growing it!
Neil
yes..you are the 'king' of thickness around here!!:)
I'm kinda curious to see just how 'wild' your hair was during the awkard stage...got any pics? *evil grin*
I just checked out Mustaine's hair...his hair looks almost like mine!!
Looks terrific!
A toast to 16 months of great progress,
- Oren
thanks Oren!! :)
Dude, you have great hair. Good length for 16 months. It may be time to update your avatar photo.
Absalom
Hey Scott,
thanks for the compliments!!I plan on changing my avatar in 2 months, when my hair is (theoretically) twice as long as in my avatar pic!! take care!!
Hey! Your hair looks awesome man, I can definitely see a lot of progress compared to your avatar! It looks great!
-Mihnea
thanks dude!!:)
Well I can tell by that grin on your face that you are proud of your hair as you should be.Certainly looks real behaved in the short time you've been growing it longer.Also don't worry about a little booze as it makes for happy hair!Looks fantastic!Mark
oh yes..I'm very happy..the 'short-haired' me is history!!:P
lol!!thanks!
Hey dude , The hair is looking incredible. Im loving it man. That is some very thick hair wich you should be proud of. lOOKS AWESOME!!!!! The mettalica shirt is kickin arse as well. Hey , another thing i noticed , You seem like a caffeine junky to me , I saw a butt-load of soda cans around. Amen to that! I am also a caffeine junky. Well good luck and keep it grooooowing brother. \m/ Metallica \m/!!!!
hey Chris, I'm glad you like it!!you have one heck of a mane as well,the waves are only gonna get better and better the longer it gets..don't listen to the crap your family is giving you..
rock on!!!it's great to meet other 'caffeine' addicts lol...I drink LOADS of Dew (it's the soda with the most caffeine in it,plus it has a great taste!). Besides that, I drink coffee almost every day..:))
Great update! The curls at the back are especially nice, IMO.
Shawn (Mr. Crow)
coming from a curly head like you, that means a lot!!:)
Great progress! Congratulations!
thanks Luckskind!!
What an impressive update! (And at the height of the Awkward Stage at that.) Are you ever doing great!
thanks Justin!!yeah..I have to say that this is not much of an awkward stage...I'm lovin every minute of it!!I'll admit though,it does help that I don't have family members shoving their negative opinions down my throat every five minutes :P..with an exception of one of my Aunts..she always tells me that only Gay people grow out their hair (wtf?!LMAO!)
Looks good!! Good luck growing,
*Shin
hey man, thanks to your suggestion..my hair is looking great!!cheers!! :)
Man thats a great mane you've got. Now you can really see the color and texture and both are fantastic. All that volume, perfect for headbanging!
You certainly made the right choice in growing out. I think this pic would be a great new avatar pic
Congratulations and well done!
man..you are the third person saying that I should change my avi!!wth..I'll go ahead and do it right now!!
Oren,if you're reading this,can you change my avi?pwetty please? :))
The funny thing is that I posted back to your pic first before I read that you were going to wait awhile to do update the avatar. Now usually I read other people's posts and replies before I post so I don't ask something thats already been asked a bunch of times or tell people they should update their avatar when they earlier said they weren't going to :) But I REALLY thought that that was just a cool picture of you with a great mood to it, so I guess I wasn't the only one lol
Quality hair! I love its shinyness that shows off the waves and curls. So much growth too since the last pictures.
hmm...I haven't noticed change in length...I guess I'm not looking at it from an objective angle..thanks man...I appreciate it!!
Cool hair, man! When it's even longer I think it will look totally awesome.
About the champaigne - they do say that (dark) beer is good for you hair, so maybe that's a good beverage to celebrate with ;)
thanks man..your curly hair is awesome as well!! :)
Hi mate - your hair is coming along nicely and looks great already.
Happy growing!
thanks Pablo!
Wow, dude! Your hair looks great. It does look a bit frizzy, but other than that, it's pretty cool. The back pic is my favorite, as it shows your curls beginning to form quite nicely into fat ringlets. With time, they'll really look quite divine, and girls will be all over you (or them, lol).
Keep it growing!
Peace
hey,thanks man!!
usually..the curls in the back aren't THAT defined...thanks to bedhead...the curls become waves!!the pic was taken after my hair was freshly washed..and NOT even tampered with :P
yeah..usually my hair was frizzy in that pic cause i didn't fingercomb it I just let it airdry...usually fingercombing and bedhead almost eliminate the frizz :)
Hey man your hair looks phenomenal and looks to be further ahead than mine in terms of length. The curliness is really cool and I think that you should think of updating you're avatar pic as it truly doesn't even seem like you anymore as the change is truly drastic. Keep it up dude and we'll both be there in no time!
Hi Cerebral,
Great pictures, too bad I couldn't comment sooner! Your head, face, everything is just MADE for super-long hair - grow it forever! (I know already, that's what you do...)
All the best!
Hans-Uwe
