Hello everyone! I thought that i'll make my update today instead of doing it on the 22 because i'll be away for a few days visiting my father this coming weekend.
I can't believe it's already been 4 months since i chopped my hair off, in 2 months it's been half a year! Time seems to fly by soo fast:)
However i've had a few small trims since march but now i'm not gonna let any scissors near my hair for a few months.
Dunno if i can yet be considered a long hair but i'm on my way there:)
Judging from these pics, i'm wondering how long before i can make some small kind of tail:)
Hope you enjoyed them and take care everyone, you've all given me so much great support throughout the years!:D
From what i've gathered reaidng your posts, you dyed your hair and were waiting for the natural colour to come through.
i don't know if it has yet but the colour you have now is a very nice one.
Thanks Beanz! Yeah it's true that i dyed it dark brown, almost black, but now it's been about a year since i did it so i guess that most of my hairs is my natural color by now:)
I've learned to appreciate my natural haircolor and have no reason to dye it ever again.
I'm lookin forward to your future progress as well!
Simon
As i will be yours
David
oof da! it looks great!! i'm glad you decided to go back to your natural hair color. (aren't swedish genes fantastic?)
peace,
nic
Thanks! Yeah well i guess our genes are quite good, although we don't really have the thickest hairs, but we do have alot of blondes up here:)
i say the genes rule because i am also swedish. my dad's parent's moved to america from there to get away from a bad family situation, and my mom's side of the family is about 50% swede. i have quite a bit of family in olofstromm. my plan is to go there next summer and stay with them, but we'll see how the money saving plan works out. perhaps someday we shall meet in person! :)
peace,
nic
Aha, interesting, well i live in the most northern part of Sweden, city of Kiruna, quite a small place but i guess it's OK, if it weren't for the cold winters that is:(
Kan du prata bra svenska då? Are you good at swedish?:D
the only thing i know how to say in swedish is 'merry christmas and happy new year,' which is only useful for a short time and i can ask for a beer, which isn't useful at all because beer is gross. :) i wish i did speak it, because i think the language is beautiful. and then i could understand all the music i have. guess i should find a class somewhere before i travel.
wow nice hair
Well, your not a long hair yet, but you'll get there. You might be long enough to make a short tail in about 4 to 6 months. You need another 2 to 3 inches, and that's how long it will take you to get there. Your hair will have just reached your sholders. My hair is about the shade of blonde yours is. I have a lot of stawberry blonde highlights in mine, so it can look almost light reddish in certain kinds of light. I hope to get some pictures done and posted soon. and then I can have an avatar.
Carol
Well, my hair gets really blonde when i'm in the sunligt, and when it's wet the back of my hair gets alomost darkbrown, but when i was younger i had really blonde hair, almost white, i guess it's darkening now with the age:)
Anyway, thanks for your comments, and lookin forward to you pics, when you upload them:)
There's a guy in my school who's hair is white blonde, verging on the perfect white, i wouldnt recognise him if i met him in the future and his hair had gone like yours (i mean darker, not an insult or anything)
Hehe, it's funny how hair can change so much in color when you get older, althouh one of my uncles on my mothers side has hair that looks almost bleached blonde, kinda white, but he's never done anything to change the color, and he's about over 40 something in age.
It's hard to determine whose hairgenes i've earned, because my father has 14 siblings and my mother has 11:D
Looking good, Simon! 6 months is right around the courner.
Mouse
Thank you Mouse! Yup 2 more months and half a year has already passed, my hair feels soo much healthier these day, never dried out like it felt when i was coloring it, and it'll be interesting to try out all the different styles when it gets a little more length:)
Take care!
Simon
Hi Simon,
Your new long hair journey is progressing VERY well indeed, you have come a long ways in only 4 months! Your hair is looking much healthier these days, and your natural colour looks great. Before you know it, you will be back to your previuos length. Be sure to keep it growing!
All the best,
David
Thanks David! Your nice comments are always highly appreciated! And i agree that i've come quite a bit actually in 4 months, maybe my hair grows pretty fast, it'll be interesting to see what another half a year will bring:)
Take care and hope everything is going well!
Simon
Your hair is coming along nice and looks great so far.
Only a few months? Perhaps consider giving it some time to grow.............like at least a year non-stop.
And the longer you stay away from sissors the very much sooner you WILL be considered a longhair.
Impossible to tell if you are receiving 2-3 monthly trims at your present stage. Without any further trims, my best bet would be a super looking tail in 1 to 1-1/2 years.
Continued good luck to you which ever way you decide to arrive at being a longhair. You have GREAT hair to work with! :-)
Thank you so much Justin for your comments! They do mean alot, and i've thought that following your advice would probably be the best, to not trim for at least a year, if i don't get much split ends that is, but hopefully if i continue to treat it gently it should grow healthy:)
Simon
Slowly, but surely, Simon... =D
Looking great. Not sure you could do any real sort of tail yet, but give it another 3 or 4 months and you'll definitely have some great length to work with. Keep it growing, my Swedish friend. =)
-James
Thank you James! I can't believe in 2 months it's already been half a year since i cut, i'm really lookin forward to that month:)
Hope all is well and take care!
Simon
WOW! Simon, Your hair has made remarkable progress! It looks very healthy this time around plus that natural blond suits you a whole lot better. I think in about 8-10 months you can probably accomplish a small tail. Looking forward to it! I hope you have a great vacation with your father, Simon. Take care!
Heey Chris! Thanks for the kind words! I always appreciate them:)
My hair has really turned out alot healthier ever since i stopped dying it, and it feels great to have quit with that stuff, it was for the best i can assure you.
Anyway, thanks again and hope everything is going well there in the Miami heat, maybe you could send some warmth from there to up here, we could really use that in this cold climate, LOL:D
Simon
Hi Simon
I can see growth since your last post, it looks good. I really don't know at what point one is considered a longhair I imagine everyone has a different opinion on that. I consider you a longhair or we could say a recovering linghair. :D
Take care
Kevin
Thanks Kevin!:D
...your hair has grown a lot in just 4 months!
Good luck!
Hey Simon ...
Excellent progress for only 4 months.. thats awesome. Keep up the good work and have fun on your weekend get-away.
Tristan
Thanks man! I'm really lookin forward to your next update as well, it's probably alot longer now:)
Nice progress with this update. Keep it growing till it's back to its former glory!
Thanks! I can't wait until my hair is long again like it used to be about a year ago, and hopefully this time it will turn out alot better:)
It's coming along fine, Simon; just if you can possibly stay away entirely from scissors for awhile, the progress will happen much much faster!
What I did during my own growing out phases was whenever I seriously didn't like the look of my hair, I would go in for only an extremely light trim (like, trimming off less than even half an inch); but, even better than that was when I just, "waited it out" by NOT trimming at all, --- in a few months the hair changes, anyway... so, best to leave it alone as much as possible, until you start getting closer to your desired goal length at least...
Take care!
- Ken
Howdy Ken! Thanks for the tips! I always appreciate them:)
And your probably right about the trimming, i guess it's best to just leave my hair alone for quite some time from now on, and then only trim when absolutely necessary.
Take care!
Simon
You've done well for 4 months Simon, but as others have said i would stay away from any trims. I am coming up to 20 months and not had one trim, and nor do i expect to until maybe 48 months.
Cheers and keep it growing, Dave
Thankx Dave! I feel my hair has really grown quite fast the couple of months, and soon a half year has already passed:)
Lookin forward to your future progress as well and keep that wild hair growin!:D
Take care!
Simon
Ser bra ut mannen! Det börjar ta sig, ser fram emot nästa uppdatering. :)
Thx!:D Snart har redan ett halvår passerat, jag ser verkligen fram emot det!
Höres!
Simon
Hi Simon, coming along nicely pal. Remember scissors are for cutting paper only. I would not consider any trimming for at least a year.Hope you enjoy my few words of Swedish, here goes , Abba,Saunas,and a bit more Abba, thats about it mate, so i totally respect you for not only speaking good English but for your grammar as well, keep on growing Simon, all the best Jonny H.
Heey Johnny! Thanks for the comments! I guess you're right, scissors are evil stuff actually:)
And did you know that the word sauna is both a finnish and english word? In swedish it's called bastu:D
I'm 50% finnish from my mothers side:)
Take care!
Simon
Good deal Simon, but I agree with the others, put the scissors into deep storage! Your natural color suits you well, btw.
Keep on growin'
Bruce
Thank you so much Bruce! I agree that the natural haircolor suits me a thousand times better, almost everyone keeps telling me that, including my family members:D
Hope everything is well with you and lookin forward to your updates as well!:D
Simon

Axel
Hey Axel! Feel free to save my pics and compare them, it's always fun to see how much the hair has grown the past couple of months:)

Anyway, thanks again and take care!
