So, here it exactly today I post it on my exact date! Happy 11th month to you too, James! So, I guess it's grown a bit since two weeks ago (lol) and I tried tails and even braids (still suck a lot)
I shower/condition every other day because of the supreme oiliness of my hair. I tried what everyone advised me (only shampoo) and it was worse because it got too dry and then it got oilier quicker :(
I also use quinine water, we have that here in Bulgaria, it's supposed to strengthen your hair and even give you optimal growth. I also started using a brush I guess it's easy for me because my hair is straight and it also really massages the scalp :D
Here you go!
Well that's all. Next month it will be 1 year :)
PS: I hope I've done everything to lead a healthy hair life. During the summer I lost a lot of weight and was in the hospital for alcohol intoxication and started drinking. Now I've quit smoking, drinking, started eating more and try to minimize stress. It has its effect :)
Dude, it's looking great. What's great about straight hair is that growth is immediately apparent. I notice a significant difference from last update, especially in the ponytail pics.
LOL, I used to do the braided bang thing too. I posted several series of them on my site way back.
Thanks a lot! Yeah I know, I've checked all your pictures, your braids look great!
Your hair looks awesome. Do you have a pic of what your hair was like when you first started to grow it?
- Chris PhoeniX -
No, unfortunately I don't have. But it was really short, the back and sides were almost a buzzcut. I couldn't grasp my hair, you know the sandpapery feel. Thanks a lot! I'm sure your hair will be great too! =}
So, basically how my hair was when I last cut it?
yay, so in around 9 months, my hair should be similar in length to yours now :D.
Do you have any messengers?
- Chris PhoeniX -
Looks very nice actually, you don't seem to have much of an awkward stage since your hair so straight, also how short was it when you first started to grow it out?
Simon
Thanks a lot! Yeah, I don't feel awkward at all, you have straight hair too, you should have no problem. And don't worry, now that the damage is gone, you'll grow great hair.
Hey there, grrrrr! Those are some great photos, especially the tails and braids. It's good to hear that your getting your life straightened out and are becoming much healthier. There's no sense in living like that, and I bet you feel much better now, don't you? =)
Anyway, next month is the big one, so grow that hair as much as you can! I promise that I'll actually post on the 12th next time, as it's a Saturday and I'll have time. =P
Again, awesome photos!
-James
Yeah, next month is the big one :D We won't believe when 1 year has passed. Thanks a lot, looking forward to our next updates!
Hi grrrrr,
Congratulations on a great update. Your hair is looking great there, dude, and it is in excellent condition. Your hair grows FAST, you have come along ways in only 11 months, and congrats on the tail! Outdoor photos always show hair at its best.
I also wanted to commend you for your healthy lifestyle change.
All the best, keep it growing,
David
Thanks, last few days I haven't been much happy but today at least this cheered me up. Well, I'm not a fan of health, I think people should do what they want as long as they don't harm others and I stopped all that stuff for my hair actually (LOL) I don't care about the lungs which would have more damage.
Well, next time I'll really try to be outdoors, this was on my terrace and yeah those are the best photos. Thanks!
I've heard that beer contains alot of B-vitamins, so this should probably be more healthy for the hair than harmful, guess i have to start drinking alot more beer if i want healthier hair, hehe lol:D
Hey grrrrr,
Your hair looks totally luxurious!!!!! The only thing I don't like about it is that it isn't MINE (lol)!! You obviously take great care of your mane, as it is very shiney and healthy-looking!
The braiding of your bangs pic is simply hilarious!!! How did you ever come up with that idea?
That's really cool about what you said about the drinking. I have a lot of friends and favorite dance partners that are in 12-step programs, and they all tell me how lucky I am that I never drank much. I have such great respect for them for overcoming their difficult habits from their past, and it inspires me to read that it sounds like you've done the same. One of my friends, a woman named Christina, said that when she used to drink all the time, her skin, as well as her hair, had a very dull, lifeless look. I never knew her back then, --- I've only known her as GORGEOUS (including her hair). Anyway, a big CONGRATS to you!!!!
Take care, bud, --- and keep it growin'!
- Ken
Thanks, Ken! Well, I wanted to try new stuff and they really are hilarious. Actually, yesterday the braid was much better but as I said I didn't let my friend braid me good enough lol.
Well, alcohol is really something great but now I'm encouraged that the longer I abstain from it the more hammered I'm gonna get next time :D
Hey dude, You hair looks amazing. I love its straightness. It looks very healthy and well maintained. Sorry to hear about the alcohol poisoning incident you had last summer. Alcohol is pretty dangerous if consumed in an unwise manner! Well, Thanks for sharing this awesome update and take care but most of all, Stay Healthy!
Truly a sensational update and your hair is looking 100% fabulous!!!!!!!
Best of luck to you in all aspects of your life in the future.
Hey, thats some healthy hair you have there!
Your hair is really straight, just a bit more straighter then mine :p
p.s I like that spiky bracelet you where wearing aswell lol
Hey man, the hair's looking sweet! Looks like it really grows fast and it really suits you
Sick bracelet too. Keep it growing, who knows what another year will bring?
-Mihnea
Yeah, awesome!
the straight hair genes is something I'd really need! As for the oiliness, due to the internet stuff this is, what keeps the keratin in good mood for decades, so by the time it may be plus.
Well, how do you wear the hair for the most time? I doubt that over the face as on most of the photos =)
Try to learn to live with alcohol, better is going on beer regularly than getting completely geschtonkenflapped in one opportunity. I know what I say, every week at school I hear some gross stories what was happening on the "actions" around.
It requires a strong will to stay relatively sober but to me, it really helps to think about THE LAST case I lost my glases (I feel like naked without them) and about a guy who got asleep and some drunk girls recreated his hair into a big red punker's spiky hairstyle ;)
cheers,
Naex, (CZ)
Nice tail and/or braids! You're getting some good length to do that with. When bored I'll sometimes braid like two or three randomly. It's a goof!
Keep on growin'
Bruce
....grow long, live life large, live life long, and stay healthy.
Peace,
Bruce
I am jealous of your hair and ability to quit smoking/drinking. :P
Great hair, and I love the thickness of the ponytail. Congrats on making all sorts of healthy changes too. Not an easy feat.
Keep it growing!
Mouse
From what I see here, your hair is coming along very well. It grows quite fast, and is of good quality.
Coarse, straight, hair like yours is easy to grow to waist length.
Absalom
Looks great grrrr! :)
Congratulations on your hair and sorting your lifestyle habits - keep it up its all great!!
Yo
grrrrr
Your hair looks absolutely brillant in my eyes your hair shines and is in very healthy condition above all you enjoyed doing your update to I notice your not afraid to show your hair of in any styles you want ( Braid & Ponytail looks)even though its not quite long enough for them styles you still experimented with them which is good to.
It saddened me to read that you had been in hospital though alcohol but i suppose you are experimenting there to please be careful and please if you feel stressed again e-mail me i wont bite you but i will try to help you the best way I can I love to help my friends and ive spoke to you in the chatroom on one occassion maybe two so if you feel stressed again I will help you ok.
Axel
grrrrr, Man your doing really well with your hair it's really healthy when you get the final length you want you'll be really pleased. I say go for terminal length I mean with your hair you could give that Danny what's his name form eyefear a run for his money.
Also good luck with your life changes, I say good luck because it's really hard to do what your doing, really really hard. If you encounter a rough patch and are having a hard time we your fellow longhairs are here talk to us you'll have our support.
I'm sure you know that already.
Kevin
I like the third pic the best, it reminds me of a serene place, somewhere close...maybe for us both.
Keep it Blazing, Try Tea Tree Oil, once a week.
Youll love the difference ;)
Cheers, Chalom, AOrevoir
