new thread
Hello,
First of all, I would like to send out a warm welcome to all the new faces that we are seeing on the board. Welcome to the hyperboard, I'm sure you'll love it here!
Second of all, I'd like to say that all the updates from this month have been great! Everyone's making great progress and the hair's looking better than ever.
And lastly, my update!
It's been a very eventful month for me, many things have happened (both hair and non- hair related). I've noticed a difference in my hair from last month. It seems like the new conditioner (Suave coconut) is working great for my hair, I love the way it feels. It's starting to look long and feel long (but not long enough. then again, is it ever?;)
I have also started to do "seek & destroy" (copyrighted by Jacob ;)) split ending missions on my hair, and it's working really nicely. Despite the time that it takes, it prevents unnecessary loss of length that you would get in most regular trims. I'm thinking of trying oil on my hair too, I still haven't and would like to see how it turns out. I'll keep you guys posted on that as well
So without further ado, here's my outdoors/indoors update!
Out in the backyard:
Loose on the streets of Richmond Hill (pun intended, bad joke not intended)
Back shot:
A little wind blowing in this one:
Back inside, side pic:
Side pic, with flash
Back shot:
Ponytail: It's starting to feel long as well:)
And finally, a half tail. I think this is the first time I've posted a half tail picture. I kinda like the style, it's comfortable:
I wanna thank you all for being a great, supportive community. Without you guys I wouldn't have gotten this far.
Comments of all kinds are welcome.
Keep it growing!!!

Hello !
You have really nice hair, it look so healthy !
I especially like the half-tail style , i also tried the half tail but that was months ago and I should try with my "new" hair.
I would like to know if you tried the wo and if it worked for you !
Keep it growing my friend , cya :)
Thanks a lot! Your hair is looking awesome, really thick and the light brown color is great and suits you very well
As for the water only wash, I haven't tried it yet, but I plan to try it on the weekend, I will let you know how it worked.
Keep it growing!
A bientot!
-Mihnea
Excellent update Mihnea, good pics. Your hair appears to be in great condition, whatever your doing seems to be right.
Keep on growin'
Bruce
Thanks a lot for the support! Looking forward to your next update!
Keep it growing

Wow Mihnea what a wonderful collection of pictures this month!
I really like the moodiness of the first outside picture because it has so much shadow in it, you have a serious and determined look. The second one outside by the fence looks great in a different way,you seem more open and relaxed, and so does your hair :) This pic gives a nice image of how long it has gotten recently, and it does look great believe me.
The shots outside with the sunlight really show well you have taken care of your hair. I like the windy one best, doesn't the wind just feel terrific in long hair :)
The tail and half tail pictures are awesome too, you have such thick hair that the half tail looks as thick as many full tails I have seen. Fantastic progress dude, be happy about it!
Thanks a lot! Your hair has been an inspiration, it grows so fast!!! And yes wind does feel great in long hair!
Thanks for the support, Keep it growing!!
-Mihnea
Dude,
Your hair's color and thickness totally rule. The thickness is especially in evidence in the halftail pic - the tail is still very thick even in this style. Congrats and keep growing!
Jason
Thanks a lot! Your hair is awesome, I have enjoyed seeing all the different styles of braids that you have tried with the help of FrannyG, as well as the progress on your site!
Keep it growing
-Mihnea
Mihnea
You got a great head of hair awesome condition it actually really thick to same as what Jason said the thickness is very visable in the pictures of you wearing your halftail. I hope you never cut it either as your born to have long hair it dont matter how you decided to wear it either looks good in all your pictures especially down to Keep it growing FOREVER duded
Axel
Thanks man, you were always very supportive of it! It was great to finally see pictures of your hair a few weeks ago, it looks really nice and suits you perfectly. I'm not planning on cutting it either ;)
Keep it growing!!
-Mihnea
Mihnea
I will be posting some more soon as I need a new avatar that i really like I kinda like the one I already use but thats from last easter lol I like to be supportive to all and ill continue to support you to !
Axel
Looks great man! A very healthy head of hair. How long have you been growing?
Thanks man, your hair reminds me of mine when it was shorter. Been growing for 21 months with a one inch trim in october.
Keep yours growing, its gonna look awesome!
-Mihnea
Ha! I actually almost wrote that same thing back when I made my introductory post a couple of months ago. I think my hair is more similar to yours than anyone else's on here. I can only hope that mine will look as good as yours does!
Del
Thanks! I'm aiming for mid back but don't think that I'll stop there. Thanks for the comment, keep it growing!
-Mihnea
Hi Mihnea,
I just decided to check into the hyperboard one last time before going to bed and am SURE glad I did, I see a couple of great updates have shown up, yours and Jason's! Your hair is looking superb in these pictures, it is super thick and healthy with just the right amount of wave, and is it my imagination, has your hair suddenly started growing a lot faster? (How long have you been growing it?) Congratulations on a fantastic ponytail pic, that is ROCKING there!
Keep it growing,
David
Thanks a lot for the kind words David! You have been both an inspiration and a motivation to keep my hair growing. I'm not sure about the growth rate, cause I haven't measured it, but it does feel much longer than last month. I've been growing it for 21 months with an inch trim back in October, so that sounds about average in my opinion. Thanks again for the comments, your hair and beard are looking better than ever!
-Mihnea
Hey Mihnea
Your hair looks amazing! It is very thick and suits you quite well. My favorite pic was the wind-blowing-hair pic. It came out really nice. I noticed we have a similar hair color but i think mine is a little darker :-) Also, That DEATH shirt kicks butt \m/....Well, Keep the metal flowing and the hair growing....Take care
Hey Chris, thanks a lot man. My hair color is best shown in the outside pictures, because the lack of flash makes it look darker and the flash makes it look a LOT lighter. I was really surprised by your hair length in your update (I have only seen older pictures of your hair before it, including your avatar) and it's coming along nicely.
And thanks for the compliment on the shirt, it's my favorite:).
KEep the metal faith alive brother \m/
-Mihnea
I love your 'show'! Nice presentation of progress pics!
Congratulations and...
Good Luck!
Thanks a lot! And thanks for doing so much for the hyperboard, we truly owe you.
-Mihnea
Wow, your hair is really thick and shiny. The picture where it's blowing in the wind shows the life that it's gaining with each inch of length.
Keep it growing!
Mouse
Thanks Mouse! Your hair is coming along really nicely, and I bet you're enjoying every minute of it!
Keep it growing!
-Mihnea
What is that black sweater? is that from Ragnarok Online? some people seem to think the game is girly but its a lot better than those other darkish games...
Nah, the sweater is a Death sweater, my favorite metal band. It's the cover of their album "Leprosy"
Here it is:

Absolutely wonderful update, Mihnea! Your hair is so unbelievably thick, and the wave in it is awesome! I really like the half-tail as well. Keep up the good growth! =)
-James
Thanks a lot! your hair is looking awesome, I enjoyed seeing your progress in your last update.
Keep it growing
-Mihnea
Hey dude, you have the SAME hair than me lol...I started to grow mine also approximately 21 months ago...But I'm getting trims every 6 months, so mine is maybe a little bit shorter and less thick than yours...
Are you like me, you just can't wait it reaches mid-back lol?
And I found a trick to reduce poofiness, I take my shower only before I sleep and I blowdry it. While I sleep, the poofiness is really reduced because I sleep on sides. Then the morning I just comb it. But anyway, your hair looks awesome so you're not obligated to try it lol...
And I see you listen to metal? me too..my fav bands are opeth, swallow the sun, Katatonia, Pain of salvation, slayer, etc...maybe you know some of these...I play guitar too. In fact I'm at college in music =P.
So let it grow and stay metal! \m/
by the way I'm a french canadian so sorry for my spelling
Sweet, we're on the same page then! :)
To reduce poofiness, I either take a shower in the evening and let it air dry while working on other things, or just put it in a ponytail once it's dry if I shower during the day. I don't blow dry my hair because mine doesn't have the cold function and I've heard bad things about the warm blowdryers.
That's cool, my favorite metal bands are Death, Vader, Necrophagist, Decapitated, Cynic, Atheist, Sadus, and stuff like that. Mostly 80's thrash and early death metal, with newer stuff mixed in.
Thanks for the comment, keep it growing and keep it metal!
-Mihnea
Wow! You're hair looks fantasic, expecially the pony-tail and half-tail! Keep it up, man! It's looking excellent!
Thanks a lot man. Judging by your avatar picture, you're making some fast progress!!
Keep it growing
-Mihnea
Hey Mihnea, your hair looks great. This photo really shows how good it looks.
You have thick full hair with good length. It is really good to see so many young people growing their hair out. By growing it long, young people, like yourself, help to make long hair more accepted by all of society. Greater acceptance, by society in general, makes life better for all longhairs, regardless of age. Keep growing it for sure.
Absalom
Thanks! And yeah, it's great to see others of my age wear their hair long. Most of my best friends have long hair (mainly because we're all metal fans) and it's great.
Thanks for the comment Absalom, your hair length and patience to grow it have been a great inspiration!
-Mihnea
Looks great. Love the ponytail look.
Heya Mihnea, hows it going?
Great looking hair there! Man, that´ll look awesome when it gets longer! Keep it growing. :)
/Erik
Hey man, haven't talked to you in a while! It's going good, right now I'm a bit pissed off, the guy at the store didn't put my strings in for me properly so one of them just slid out of the bridge. I'm doing it by myself from now on haha.
And thanks man, I can't wait till it gets longer.
Looking forward to your next update man.
Keep it growing \m/
-Mihnea
WOW!!! It's looking fantastic! I'm hoping that mine looks half as good, cuz it will still be amazing! Congrats, and keep it growin' and flowin'!
Lon
Thanks a lot for the kind words. Your hair looks very healthy and in good condition, it'll look great!
Keep it growing
-Mihnea
Your hair looks amazing in this update! The length, texture and shine are wonderful and your hair appears to be in overall good health. I also really like the halfup on you. Keep on growin'!
Thanks a lot!
I would like to congratulate you on your braiding skills, Jason's braids look awesome!
-Mihnea
Hi Mihnea, top photos mate, that halftail look is the look i want in about 2 years , when i eventually get there. Cheers , Jonny H uk
Hey Johnny
Thanks for the kind words. Best of luck in reaching your goal, you'll be there before you know it!
Keep it growing
-Mihnea
Great update no question and shows superb long hair which is getting now to the point where you can really start to do many things with it. (One of the best things of all about having long hair.)
Thanks for the update and the best of luck to you as your journey continues.
Thanks a lot for the kind words and support. I must say, your hair and beard are awesome. Are you growing the beard longer or just keeping it at a certain length?
-Mihnea`
Are you growing the beard longer or just keeping it at a certain length?
`
The beard is somewhat longer than what you see in the photo which was at about 2-1/2 weeks. I am keeping it at the 4 week mark which seems to work for me the best of all. Thanks for your compliments.
Killing! Your hair is so thick and straighter with every new update. How long have you been growing it out again, I cant' remember? Keep it up! :D
Hey man, thanks a lot.
I've been growing it for 21 months from a short hairstyle with "sandpaper" sides and back.
Your hair is looking really cool, I enjoyed your last update. You obviously take very good care of your hair, and that bang braid was funny:)
Keep it growing
Great progress,Mihnea. It's looking longer and healthier than ever. Keep it growin'.
Thanks man, I just checked out + replied to your update, your hair is awesome. Nice and thick and the color suits you great.
Keep it growing!!!
\m/
-Mihnea
Great pics. Your hair is looking fantastic! You're my Hair Idol. Haha!! I hope mine turns out even just half as good as your's. :)
Hahahaa thanks, that's a huge compliment! I'm sure your hair will look amazing. I owe it to the people of this hyperboard for their never ending support.
-Mihnea
Hey Mihnea your hair is looking fabulous. It really looks healthy and this is as far as I can remember the first update i have seen from you, its great to see you in differing angles and also to get a little snapshot of your homelands.
Keep up the great work and keep rockin!!
Hey Dave,
I've been doing updates since... January I think. But they were mostly 2 or 3 pictures and I have never done an outdoors update before. Thanks for the kind words, your hair is looking great too. I like the messy but not messy look of it (if that makes sense haha), it suits you very well and will look even better as it gets longer.
Keep it growing
-Mihnea
Looking ace Mihnea, I love that color, It suits you well.
Chris K
Thanks! We seem to have a similar hair type/color (from what I can see in your avatar:))
-Mihnea
Very very cool hair, dude - keep it growing !!
Thanks for the kind words, I will keep it growing.
and you should too:)
