Not to feel left out, after both James and Shawn have 'tailed' for the first time, i thought . . .mmmm I wonder, could I??
Well here it is, not the best but well its there I guess, quite a landmark tho.
Oh its messy, cos I have just got off my bike, and you all know by now that my hair is NEVER messy!!
Congrats, it looks great and it's going to get better and better as it gets longer.
Thanks, much appreciated.
Congratulations, Dave!
Isn't that an awesome moment when you can tail for the first time, that has to be one of the biggest milestones all of us growing out our hair celebrate. Bravo to you, and keep up the great work!
All the best,
(another) Dave
Thanks another Dave, do you ever tie yours back?
Actually, Dave, I do tie it back occasionally. I prefer it loose but I do tail it when the hair needs ro be restrained, for example if I'm golfing or bowling. I also tail it when it's really windy to avoid too many tangles. Now that you mention it, I don't think I've ever included a tail picture in any of may updates, perhaps I will in my next one. (3 year update in April)
David
Fantastic Dave...'my boy is growing up'!
Seriously though, looking slick mick :O!
Dean
"...and you all know by now that my hair is NEVER messy!!..."
No, it never is ! The "natural" look on you ALWAYS looks great. Your latest photo is stunning !!
Congrats on the tail, from 'da Tail (White, that is...HA!)
WWT
Aww man, you are too kind, thanks and regards.
Yee Haw! What fun! Looks good, too.
What a great adventure we are all sharing!
Shawn (Mr.Crow)
I wasn't trying to nick the filling outta your sandwich, honestly!!
I love that expression, did you make that up?
Yeah, just come straight thru my head to my keyboard. If you ever meet me you will realise that I am fountain of one liners!!
Funny and clever! No problem.
If you look, I got confused, myself and actually replied to a post by Justin about your tail (which I thought to be about my own, actually).
Glad to be on the road with someone. Glad you are one of the someones.
Shawn
Thanks and likewise.
Hey, that looks great, Dave! Congratulations on another fun milestone. =)
Thanks James, keep growing, its coming really well!!
Happy days mate! Its a great achievement - well done!
Thanks mate!!
Looks good--feels good too, I'll bet! From now on YOU will be in control.
Be sure to use only metal-free, cloth-covered elastic bands.
Thanks Luckskind, and I must confess I have been using a tie with a little metal clasp, so my first job this weekend is to go and get some 'proper' ones!!
WOW............truly the 1st of many great milestones that you will soon be seeing. First objective for all guys seems to be getting that ponytail. And............you've got-it!
Ok,ok, it isn't all that long (yet),but we all went through the same phase.
Just give it another 6 months,(3") and you won't believe the difference. A year? A difference the likes you could hardly believe!
Best of luck to you in continued success. Your long hair is looking fantastic!
Justin
Thankyou for your kind words and support, you've been there from day one.
Thanks, Justin. Like being a kid and realizing you can reach the bathroom faucet without using a stool! (Sure you're standing tiptoe on the lip of the cupboard and throwing your arm out of socket while sweating with the effort, but you can REACH it!)
It will only get easier from here, regarding the whole tail thing. I am glad to be part of this group of fellow travellers.
I appreciate your comments.
Shawn
Looking cool! In a few months, it'll all fit in the tail. Keep it growing, it looks great!
-mihnea
Thanks alot Mihnea, yes thats the goal really, this isn't ready to wear in public yet.

before you know it,all the hair will be staying in the tie!!
all the best

uuuhh, ummmm, woahhhh, [hic}, yeah . . . oooh {crash]
perhaps you've had one too many bears ey? ^_^
Hey nuttidave - The tail looks great. I'm surprised you haven't tailed it before...that shows great patience. I still remember my first. Also, I've done quite a bit of cycling. Lots of European road racers used to have long hair. Far fewer now it seems, more on the off road circuit. I always tail my hair now when I ride; like the way it looks sticking out the back of my GIRO! Ride and Rock On dude! Bruce'ster
Way hey Brucie Baby, great to know your a fellow cyclist. I only tailed it to save it sticking out under my Giro (Xen), but really its not ready for the public consumption just yet!! Keep pedalling buddie.
Congratulations on the tail Dave, that shows how long your hair really is as its hard to tell with your messy, no, wild, no straightness-challenged hair :)
Seriously looks awesome mate, your patience is paying off (again)
Thanks Chris, and its great to see you visiting us regularly. Keep it positive mate!!
Hey Dave, congrats on your milestone! I'm going to force myself to wait another year before this attempt so I applaud you. This really shows how long your hair is getting. Keep it up!
It's a fun journey overall isn't it.
Max
Hey Max, hi and thanks, maybe i am too early, its just one of those things where you think, well what if . . .
Great to have you around and take care buddy.
'tis the season to be tailing I guess! Makes me feel like going upstairs to play around with clips and binders again.
Mouse
Go on!! Get up those stairs and start messin'!!
Take care Mouse. Dave
Great milestone Dave, careful not to pull it too tight though.
I did that at first and lost many strands. :)
Thanks Chris, that is a problem when its short, also i have been using those ties with metal bits in (slapped wrists). Oh by the way, your beer is here getting warm!!
Cheers buddie.
Wow, dude, that actually looks pretty dang awesome. I didn't think your hair was this long! What a milestone! It sure looks better than my first attempt at a ponytail; yikes, that's some suppressed imagery right there. :P
Keep it up, man. I can see that ponytails will look great on you, so it can only get better from here on. Best of luck in the journey.
Peace, man.
Hey man, your hair looks awesome! loving the little curls! my hair is long like yours but mines straight and boring, i prefer the curly hair style, do you know if theres a name for your kind of hair, like a hairstyle i mean
email me back, would help alot, thanks
Thanks dude, you were one of the first supporters, along with Justin and 80's Metal, and I thank you. Your curls are an inspiration, fantastic.
Rock forever!!!!!
Congrats, nuttidave. It looks very nice. I didn't know your hair was that long already. As you can see, I jumped on the bandwagon with a ponytail post a bit further up on the board. :P
Yeah thanks, it tends to be a bit 'wild' and hence doesn't always look that long. Although this week i have noticed that it is sitting on my shoulder blades which is rather exciting. Keep metal alive!!
Congratulations! Feels good, doesn't it.
Keep on growin'
Bruce
Sure does, thanx Bruce!
