Do you have any advice for someone who is starting out growing their hair long. Im hoping that my hair will be long enouugh to pull back into a pony tail this summer. You make me jealous of your hair steve its so beautiful and longgggggggggggggggggg. I want my hair to grow fast if its possible. How long is your hair now. Also wanted to ask what your family think about your long hair?

Just don't do anything. Really. If you can stand it, don't even shampoo, but definitely condition when it gets longer. I have some split-ends and friz which you can see with the new cam. I'm not sure how much can really be done to prevent it. After all, this is a material that gets daily wear, for 5 years now. Can you imagine what a shirt would look like if you wore it 24 hours a day and could only wash it while wearing? It just goes to show, nature is still the best at engineering materials, at least for some things.
Thanks. Unfortunately, the general consensus is that you can't do anything to accelerate growth. There are drugs for hair restoration of course; but AFAIK nobody uses them for hair acceleration. I don't see why anybody would want to drug themselves over this anyway. There are serious side-effects to anything you would do, including vitamins. If I had male pattern baldness, I'd just learn to accept it.
Long enough to reach up to my scalp. :)
I haven't measured it in a long time. My growth rate is actually about average, so it should be 30 inches at the most.
My parents (who have both passed on) never liked it, but I think they eventually learned to tolerate it. I think my sister is the same way.
