new thread
Hello all,
Finally, here's my January update!
I just came in from outside, it's a bit windy and cold which made my hair a bit messy, but I'm really excited because I've noticed some extra growth!
I'm getting close to shoulder length, and I'm really happy about it (as you can tell)! I've also noticed an improvement in the general condition to my hair, largely due to the fact that I've switched from Pantene 2 in 1 to Clairol Herbal Essences and a no name conditioner which works really good in my opinion! I've also started using a wide tooth comb, and i notice a lot less tangles around, and sometimes, none at all!
I would really like to thank you all on this board, I'm happy that I started posting on it (back in November). I've gotten a lot of great advice here. Congratulations to all who have posted updates this month, you all have made GREAT progess and your hair looks fantastic. Especially DavidN, your hair has improved in both length and condition! Same with everyone else, it's great to see progress and improvements.
Wow, that was a really long post. now, on to the pictures!
Here's a front view:
And from the other side...

Also, I've noticed that my hair looks and behaves best the day after I wash it with Shampoo (which I did yesterday).
Enjoy! All comments -negative, positive, neutral, etc...- and feedback are welcome!

Dude, your hair is awesome! I'm jealous, because that's exactly the length/style I've always wanted. How long have you been growing it?
Congrats. :)
Thanks a lot man! I've been growing it since late June/ early July of 2005 so... about a year and a half, with a one inch trim in October of 2006. Thanks again for the compliment!
-Mick
Fantastic looking hair without question! I am so glad that you found us and are making such terrific progress yourself. As for your question:
At your stage the same always held true with myself, and the 2nd days were always my best. Now at waist length it no longer seems to matter anymore.
Great update! Best of luck to you as you continue your journey.
Thanks! Your hair looks great as well! I really have to congratulate you on your patience and devotion to grow your hair till waist length!
-Mihnea
I wonder if you mean that your hair always behaves well now that it is waist length or do you mean that it behaves well all the time now?
Shawn
It really behaves well all the time now and has since at least mid-back. All I can think is that the weight of the hair and pull of gravity account for this. Shorter hair doesn't have this extra boost.
Justin
Your hair looks really nice. It's straight yet slightly wavy at the same time, and it looks very healthy. Keep it growing.
Thanks! I really like the waviness of your hair, it should look awesome when it reaches mid back, if you plan to grow it that long.
-Mihnea
You look so good... dont you dare cutting it because of some female advisor...
I take it you like heavy metal?
Thanks for the compliment! No worries, my hair's a part of who I am and I won't cut it just because someone else doesn't like it! and haha yeah heavy metal, ambient, jazz fusion, classical, a bit of everything that sounds good and inspires me.
Keep it growing!
-Mihnea
I bet if Mozart were around today he'd be a heavy metal player... So much for the conservatives liking classical music and not heavy metal... as for significant others, I dont have any... dont look like I will have any (seems that I am too different for anyone to want to like me much) and while my dad is super against long hair due to his extensive military background, its not like I needed his permission...
You're definitely coming along quite nicely, Mihnea! Your hair looks absolutely great, so shiny and healthy. Don't let anything deter you from keeping it growing. =)
-James
Thanks a lot! Your hair looks great too, and it looks like it grows really fast! I enjoyed seeing your progress in your last update. also, good luck with your studies!
-Mihnea
Ooooh! That ISnice hair! Great stuff, there, FireInTheSky! Keep on Growing!
Shawn (Mr.Crow)
Thanks a lot!!! And I sure will keep growing it:). Your hair looks really good, those curls are gonna look even more awesome as they get longer!
-Mihnea
Thanks, Minhea. I am really loving this growing process!
Shawn (Mr. Crow)
Your hair looks great, and looks very healthy. Keep growing it for sure.
Also, what is your goal length?
Absalom
Thanks! And yes, I will keep growing it:). When I first started out, I was aiming for shoulder length and just last month I wanted hair between shoulder lengh and mid back, but now it's safe to say that my goal is mid back:).
-Mihnea
Hey Mihnea,
Your hair is great! I really like how it shines. My opinion of the 2-in-1s... no good. Separate shampoos and conditioners work better, IMHO. Welcome to MLHH!
--Rick
Thanks! and yeah the 2 in 1 didn't do what it promised.
-Mihnea
Hi Mihnea,
You hair is looking truly fabulous, healthy, shiny, and INCREDIBLY thick, and in wonderful condition, I can tell you really take care of it! I am SO happy that you have decided for the longer mid-back length, you might even consider waist length, as you certainly have the quality of hair to do so! I ws wondering how long you have been growing it?
All the best, and keep up the good work,
David
Hi again, Mihnea,
You are FAR too kind to actually mention me in the introduction to your update, thanks so much for the kind words!
All the best,
David
haha no problem at all! Also, I've been growing for a year and a half with a trim of about an inch back in October.
-Mihnea
Great looking head of hair you have Mihnea!
- Oren
Thanks a lot:)!
-Mihnea
Hey , Mick.
Your hair looks excellent.
It seems quite healthy and shiny+thick!!
Good luck and stay metal!! \m/
By the way? Whats your fav. Death Metal band? I have many favorites like: Death , Obituary , Malevolent Creation , Suffocation , Deicide , Vader.....The list is perpetual but my all time favorite Death Metal band would have to be.....hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Death/Suffocation......sorry i couldnt help it. I had to pick two!!!!!!!!!!
well , good luck brother
`chris
Thanks for the compliments! Your hair looks great as well, looking forward to an update. I have many favorites as well, and they're pretty much the same as yours: Death,Deicide, Decapitated, Suffocation, Obituary, Morbid Angel, Vader, Dying Fetus. I saw Decapitated, Suffication, Necrophagist and Dying Fetus live and they were AMAZING!!! But my top favorite death metal band is the mighty Death as well! Too bad for Chuck though, he was a true musical genius, he will be missed!
As Chuck Schuldiner (Rest In Peace brother)would say, Keep the metal faith alive! Best of luck on your hair growing journey!
-Mihnea
Fantastic, great colour and nice and thick. Did you have trims to make it all one length? it looks really cool. Regards.
Thanks a lot! I did have one trim in October, I don't know what the lady did but it was definitely not one length, but it got rid of the tangles in the back and now that I take better care of it I can avoid trims (and loss of length!!) for a while. Keep yours growing!
-Mihnea
your hair looks great and Very healthy.
a.
Thanks a lot:)!
-Mihnea
Wow, I havent seen many guys looking that good wearing long hair open (due to the light curly structure) AND with ponytail. Especially the hair color is extraordinary beautiful and fits perfect to your brown eyes.
Have a good longhair time - I think you are going to enjoy it.
best regards
Thanks for the compliment! I just wish it was longer but I'm getting there! Best regards and good luck to you too in reaching your goal (if you haven't already:))!
-Mihnea
Looks great Mihnea! I agree with you, my hair always does better on day two.
Keep it growin'
Bruce
Thanks! keep it growing!
-mihnea
Hi Mihnea,
your hair is phantastic, it makes you look absolutely great! Besides the length, the color and the texture are fabulous. Glad to see you growing it a LOT longer!
All the best!
Hans-Uwe
Thanks a lot for the comments:D! All the best for you too, and I'll take a shot at German and say Alles gute to you but I'm pretty sure I spelled that wrong:P
-Mihnea
Hi Mihnea,
"Alles Gute" is indeed correct! Thanks!
Hans-Uwe
Hey dude, awesome update. Your hair looks fantastic, and it totally suits your face. You may feel the ponytail is a bit short now, but trust me, it's looking sweet already. Girls will love it.
Nice Cannibal Corpse shirt, too.
Peace, dude.
Haha thanks a lot man:). Yeah it feels short cause of the loose curls/waves in my hair (as you can see in my avatar) but that's okay haha. And yeah Cannibal Corpse kicks ass:).
Keep it growing!
-Mihnea
Hi FITS, glad to see your getting some good length and that the conditioner you had to get is working too. Suave conditioner is only around $1 per bottle and works well for me. It is a thinner consistency and seems to get all over the hair better. A wide tooth comb is the key indeed to less snaps and tangles. I found that Pantene was crap too and way overrated.
Thanks! I haven't heard of Suave, but I'll look for it next time I go to the store. As for Pantene, it really is overrated, the only thing they're good at is making boring commercials with skinny models in them:P.
-Mihnea
Looks great, it seems like your hair has grown fairly quickly since the last pony tail picture.
Thanks!
Awwwwwwwww Sorry Mihnea
Dunno how I missed your update when I posted here yesterday must have been tired from Work.
Im impressed with your hairs length & condition of it seems more shiny than it was before also conditions improved to I dunno what it is about Pantene Prov but ive notice alot here when they change from pantene there hair looks alot better than when they used pantene its really weird as pantene suppose to be one of tthe top brands I use Frutus myself im happy with that but i probably give this herbal Essences ago to1
Thanks for sharing a great update of pictures
Axel
Thanks a lot, I really appreciate the compliments!
And yeah I've noticed that about people using pantene too, they seem to be better off without it.
-Mihnea
From viewing you're latest update Mihnea it is clear that we are currently in exactly the same place growth wise. You're hair is looking wicked awesome and here's to a great year of continued growth and it's going to be interesting to see where you are at the end of the year or by summer. Can't wait to see it too. Take it easy dude.
Thanks a lot man, your update looks great too, your hair is in excellent condition, and it will definitely be awesome to see the progress made by this summer. Keep it growing!
