Two braids!
hey Jason,
the hair is coming along great (what's your goal length?),I especially like the photos where the sun is visible..very artistic!!keep it growing!!
Thanks! My goal length is 40 inches measured from the front hairline. This would put my hair at about belt level.
You look awesome dude.
Nice pics! Goes to show how many ways a guy can wear his hair.
Great colour and great photos. My favourite style is:
Keep growing, Jason. It is inspiring.

Hi Jason,
Great hair as always, it looks really thick in this update, near mid-back now, and great photography and lighting (really cool pictures with the sun behind you). Congratulations, and onwards towards belt length!

Hi Jase, Your hair is certainly looking excellent these days. You have the type and texture of hair that lends itself to nearly any style or braiding technique.
To that end, the style with the half-tail braid and small braid to one side is very cool looking.
I am going to try to post a picture I saw a long time ago and saved of a Legolas style that I bet you would like. What brought that picture to mind was that the guy in the picture has a similar hair color to yours. I think he has some herringbone braid in the center and regular to the sides - it looks complicated!
Great update, and, of course, keep it growing.
See you later, Bragi
Thanks Bragi. That's a very cool look shown in that photo. I did the second smaller braid as an afterthought. Next time, I'll try to get it better. I don't know if I'd ever be able to do a herringbone braid.
Jason
It seems inadequate to say so but 'bravisssimo'.
Considering the issues we discussed three years ago - the multe bravissimo. A life long ambition achieved with consummate style and life long result.
Yes, I've a long way in those three years that's for sure. I'd love to see your current progress if you get a chance to send some pics.
Thanks!
Outstanding. Mega-inspirational. You have perfect volume, texture and shine.
I like the interesting sun towards the camera pics Jason, gives quite an artistic feel. Natural light always makes hair, especially warm colored hair like yours look really great.
As always you have quite stunning hair, most impressive.
Thanks Chris. The last hour of daylight makes for some interesting lighting effects.
Hi Jason! what can I Say, Wow great pics, always thought your hair was great, the pics just prove it,defiantly an insperation for people who want long hair!
Hi Jason, your hair is getting really long now, and it looks great. Keep growing it. Best wishes.

Just stunning, and the beard really compliments your hair.

Hi Jason, your hair is looking great, as usual! The current length looks really good on you. Can't wait to see it a bit longer too, say over the next year or so.
You started growing your hair a good six months AFTER me, and yours is longer, even with a few trims. No fair! ;)
I think it's time for me to post some long overdue update pics. You're so good at diligently taking progress pics whereas I just take them whenever I get around to it.
Great job Jason and all looks fabulous!
I really enjoy the mannor in which you have chosen to display your photos. Always done in a most artistic way which helps give much life to the photos.
Bravo!
Justin~
Thanks very much Justin. I find it fun to try to make the photos a bit artsy.
Looks great man! You definately look better with the beard. :)
An impressive hair ! And, with your beard, what a balance ! Keep
it all forever!!!
Incredible. Not just the hair itself but what, I imagine, it represents in terms of changes in the person attached to it!
A somewhat personal question I know, but years ago I remember that there were concerns regarding how your hair would be viewed by members of an organisation you belonged to. How have its members reacted or have you moved onto a new path?
Kind regards,
Laurence
Hi Laurence,
Thank you. Yes, quite a metamorphosis. I'm pretty much on a new path now. I was finally told to just come with my long hair but I could tell it would never be really accepted nor could I function comfortably in that culture. We all have to eventually choose our own paths that feel right. I'm making my way to find that path.
Your hair looks really well - I especially like the braids. Congrats on such good progress, I'm sure you must be happy.. Though you always seem so serious in your photos! ;-)
Best wishes
Thanks Pablo. I am very happy with my hair. I hate how I look when I try to give a fake smile for a picture so I don't have too many with smiles.
Jason,
Always look forward to your photos. Your mane is simply stunning. I love the half-tail with the braid style.
As usual ... keep it growing (and keep the photos coming).
Karsten
Thanks Karsten. I've been looking forward to more of your updates. You must be getting ready to update pretty soon.
Very nice! Long hair really suits you!
Looking good as ever, Jason! I love the color and the fullness. I wish my hair was as full as yours...
Take care,
--Rick
Looks splendid. Truly inspirational hair. Take care and happy holidays.
Hi Jason,
it's obvious, you ALWAYS have had a STRONG call to wear your hair at least waist-long, and it's so great to see you getting there as time progresses! Good to see your length getting more and more impressive! I especially like pictures 4 and 5...
Talk to you soon, and, have a great Christmas!
Hans-Uwe
Hi Hans-Uwe,
Thank you! It is satisfying to have made it this far.
Jason, I am in complete awe right now after seeing those photos. They definitely have convinced me that there is no turning back at this point. As always, it's great to see your updates and the future can only bring even better things. Later!
-James
Thanks very much, James. I'm glad I can be a source of some inspiration!
Hey, man, what's up? Ace update as usual (lol, I sound Australian). Those half-tail braids are particularly ace, and you were the first person I saw attempt them on this board, so it's no surprise that yours are the most awesome. You used to do them sort of tightly, but now they're loose and free, as if they're the easiest and most natural thing for you to do, and it translates into the way your hair fits you, and even the kind of person you probably are, if you take stuff really far. But this is just a hair update, so, yeah. lol. Awesome hair. I just can't wait to see the belt-length update and the belt-brushing braids - those will be awesome. And speaking of which, that second braid you added was pretty creative. It sorts of harkens back to older, more elaborate hairstyles, and shows how much you can do with hair. It's a shame that so many guys think long hair equals loose or ponytail and that all else is treading too close to the terrors of the notorious taboo line. Oh, well.
I've been trying those half-tail braids as well. Nothing as majestic as yours, of course. :P But one day, I'll be there.
I was hoping for another cat pic, lol. Riley is so adorable.
Peace, dude.
Thanks Fallen! I do love the halftail style. I usually take some pics with the tie in and then will redo the braid, usually looser and without a tie. It holds long enough for a round of pictures.
That second braid was an afterthought. Next time I'll try making it cleaner looking.
I can't wait for belt-length. Of course, having braids at belt-length would be even more incredible. Hey, I think you just gave me a new goal! LOL
Thanks, as always, for your incisive and supportive feedback.
Fantastic!! Your hair looks really healthy. How many trims have you had along the way?
Keep on growin'
Bruce
Jason, you're hair is always nothing short of fantastic. It is really great to see you're updates and you will reach you're goal of belt length in no time. Keep going and being an inspiration to us all.
Take care
