new thread
Even though I posted some photos from my trip down south a few days ago, I said I'd still post a regular update, so here it is. My hair is in much better shape now, mainly due to less humidity and actually washing it. =P It's still a little frizzy, but that's Indiana for you.
I won't post these on my site for a week or so, as I don't have the capability at the moment, but I thought I'd share them now. And yes, I did photoshop the eyes, as they were a little scary beforehand, lol. Here they are...
Front...
Back...
Tail from the side...
Tail from the back...
Tail with bangs...
Half-tail from the front...
Half-tail from the back...
Some random shots...
That's it for now. Any comments or questions are welcome, as always. Back to university for me next week! =)

Excellent progress James! Yes your hair does look less wild now. Its' in good shape, full and healthly. Congratulations. Good luck with your studies at university this year.
keep on growin'
Bruce
Thanks a bunch, Bruce! I'm always appreciative of your kind words. =)

As usual, Awesome update, James. Your hair indeed does look better now.It appears to be healthy and has PLENTY of shine. Seems like you're taking care of it properly for sure. I personally like the loose look rather than the tied up look. Hair like that deserves to be loose. Flaunt that hair man because it looks amazing without a doubt.
Thank you very much, Chris! I guess I do what I can for maintenance, though that usually isn't much beyond a good brushing now and then. =) Since it's been so hot here lately, however, tying it up is almost a necessity, which is a shame because I definitely like wearing it down more. Oh well... Take care and looking forward to your next update! =)

Hey, James, as an Elder, in every sense of the whirred, Quenyan here, your latest pictures are stellar, once again! Your results are a true inspiration to those of us who are just starting on our longhaired journey and a resolute confirmation to those of us still dedicated to the longhaired aesthetic. Thank you for posting your latest pics. Good luck to you in your political science student curriculum in university. We need more like you, James! Thanks to you for being among our ranks.
Yours in longhaired camaraderie,
Quenyan
Hey Quenyan! Thanks for your ever so kind words of encouragement. And don't think I forgot about your e-mail... I'm running on a very slow connection right now, so I'm limited to what I can do. I'll get back to you sometime next week, I promise. =)
-James
Well, the hair, and you, always look great. Wonderful progress there. School already! I live in a college town, so I guess the university campus here will be seeing the srrival of students soon. Along with the seminary students at the attached seminary.
Carol
Thanks a lot, Carol! Yes, school already... though I think my school starts a little earlier than most, so you may have a few weeks of peace and quiet left. ;) Take care!
-James
Great progress. Keep it growin!!

Hi James,
Another terrific update from you! Your hair keeps getting better and better all the time. It is thick and healthy, has great natural waves, and is growing like crazy. And congratulations on achieving a full ponytail so early, keep up the great growth!
And you have to go back to university so soon, in August? It seems only yesterday that the summer just begun! My best wishes that you have a VERY successful upcoming year, I am sure you will get all A's.
Take care,
David
As always, David, your posts are just so complimentary! (I'm not sure how else to describe it, lol). Anyways, thank you very much. It does seem the summer flew by, didn't it? Ah well, maybe the semester will too. Take care and hope you post an update soon! =)
-James
Hi James,
Thank you for asking about my future update. I am not planning a formal one until October, which would be 3 1/2 years since my last cut. However, if you click on my avatar, you can access the pictures in my photobucket account, and there are some new ones that were taken last weekend.
Take care,
David

Hi Mark... Thank you, as always, for your compliments, and for your wishes on the upcoming schoolyear. I very much appreciate it. Hope you're doing well and that you'll post an update soon. Keep it growing! =)
-James
James, you are truly looking the part of a long-hair and, might I add, it really looks good on you (scary photoshop-red-eye reduction and all).
Your colour is great and I really like the first pic; the way is is now starting to flirt with your shoulders is a sign of the long-hair club. Congratulations!
Shawn (Mr.Crow)
Thank you very much, Shawn! I'm looking forward to your next update, as your hair has got to be getting some incredible length by now. Hope you have a little time left before school starts. Take care! =)
-James
Hey James,
Great update. I'm a firm believer that hair grows faster in summer and it sure seems like your hair has had a growth spurt.
It's awesome that it looks like all of your hair is close to staying in a ponytail tie now. Those halftails also look really good on you.
Congrats!
Hey Jason! I think you're right that hair does grow more in the summer, as I'm sure that it's grown more than 1.5 inches since I went to Colorado in May. I guess I'll keep taking my vitamins and see what happens. =)
Anyways, your hair is looking great, as always. Definitely one of the inspirations that convinced me to finally grow mine. Take care and don't ever cut it! =D Later...
-James
Simply outstanding, James. It's really starting to look long now, not just like awkward-stange hair. You've come a long way!
Mouse
Hey, thanks, Mouse! Yours has to be getting some real length to it now, too. Hope to see some pics soon. Take care and hope that Minnesota summer isn't too unbearable. =)
-James
Looking very nice, James. One of the best parts about August is that some of your classmates, having not seen you since May, will say "Wow your hair has gotten SO long!"
Haha yeah, that might happen quite a bit. I don't keep track with too many people over the summer, so some will have quite the shock when we get back. Thanks, Allen. =)
-James
That long hair just keeps getting better and better and looks fabulous! A truly great update of inspiration, and the colour.......outstanding!
Thank you, as always, Justin, for your encouragement. I really appreciate it! =) Take care and best to you...
-James
James ...
Excellent update dude.. The hair has truly come a long way this summer. Great growth and looks healthy. Good luck as you start back to school there in Indiana. You;ll do well; and make sure you post some pics when you do go to Portugal...
Be Blessed..
Tristan
Hey Tristan! Thanks for the comments, man. I promise to take tons of photos while in Lisbon... when I finally get there. =P Take care and looking forward to the progress in your next update. Any particular sites in mind?
-James
Hey James...
I'm actually due for (believe it or not) my 1 year post this month. I'm climbing this weekend so I'm hoping to take some pics from maybe Mt. Antero or Sherman. I guess we'll see if the weather holds out.. Thanks for asking. Talk to you soon..
Be Blessed...
Tristan
Hey James! Your hair sure looks spectacular, and the tail is thickening up alot as well!
I have been on vacation for a few days because of the hot weather we've been having here in the nort of sweden, about 27 degrees C or something like that:)
Anyway, hope everything is well with you and take care!
Simon
Welcome back, Simon, and thank you! I wish we only had temperatures like that here... we're facing over 40C... YUCK. Still, that's quite warm for northern Sweden, so I can empathize. Take care and looking forward to your next set of pics. Keep up the good progress! =)
-James
Wow James ypu have come an awful long way since when you first posted, you're looking fantastic and the colour is awesome, the look is getting better and better with every update. I wish you all the best on the return to uni and keep posting dude!
Thanks, Crimson! I'm glad to see you joining back up on the board. Your hair is certainly nothing to scoff at, that's for sure. Hope you're doing well and looking forward to your next set of update pics. Take care! =)
-James
I think you are making good progress this month. By X-mas, you will be surprised how much fuller the tail becomes.
Good luck next week. I will be doing the same.
Bragi
Thanks, Matt. Can't wait to see the results by Christmas. =D
Best of luck to you, too. Ah, the life of a college student. ;) Take care!
