my mother hasnt always been ok with me growing my hair shes never said anything against it but i know shes never been to ok with the idea. except recently shes really warmed up to it like today out of the blue she grabbed a brush and began playing with my hair french braids pigtails you name it she did it lol it was some quality bonding time :{ ] being an only child she never really got to experience having a daughter
and the end result
talk about exploring other styles
hairs looking great man keep it up!
thanks man take care :{ ]
Your very lucky in that Respected as my mother has NEVER excepted my long hair she would never Brush mine either My mother claims guys should have short hair not long short as in at least Short back n sides.
Also when she was younger my mother who use to be a part time hairdresser use to cut my hair and she use to cut it about once a month to so i never really had my hair over my ears at all but sometimes it would grow over the ears if she was to busy with other things only thing i hated it when she actually did cut it all of short.
Btw your an inspiration to the board ok you happen to come as my life seem to get very busy due to building work & working long hours at work keep up your good work in growing your mane and the support you have shown others.
Axel
im flattered that even one person would consider me a inspiration like i said my mother has always felt the same way yours has which is why i was so shocked when she asked to brush my hair thanks for the kind words man take care :{ ]

LOL!!! Nice pigtails man. I'm glad that your mom finally accepts your long hair. Congrats.
thanks thanks man and did it pour yesterday or what?! take care :{ ]
Kal El, A mother's love is to be cherished forever. You are a fortunate son!
peace, jonalbear
fortunate i am i only hope that everyone else on this board can have the kind of support i have at home it really makes growing it out a much easier choice
Sounds and looks like you have gotten past a hurdle that plagues so many of the other guys here when growing out their hair.
I am very happy for you that all is working out this way.
Sounds like you have won your mom over. :-)
yep yep what more could anyone ask for take care man :{ ]
My mother recently came over to acceptance. I was on vacation with her and for some reason she mentioned that I could get my hair off my neck if I tried a ponytail. I kind of shrunk for a moment and admitted that I had a few hair ties in my bag and she put a ponytail in my hair. Then she cried out of joy because she thought I looked cute. I don't think I told her that I had tried it out quite a bit at that point. But she is accepting of it and thinks it will work. BTW, I only have brothers so it may be partially the no daughter thing.
yep i think the no daughter thing is psychological or something she just seemed so happy brushing through my hair and what not thanks for the words man take care :{ ]
Nice pigtails! You are lucky that you have such cool hair and
a cool mom to support you!!
thanks very much man take care
That is sooo nice! What better way to get family to accept long hair than get them involved, as long as there are no scissors!
That second pic is priceless!! LOL!!
David
yep yep its great to see her warming up to it and to be honest it was pretty relaxing having my hair done lol thanks for the words man take care :{ ]
Great pictures there and nice to know that you mum is accepting you having longhair that is half the battle if the parents are on your side. So far the hair looks great and keeping it growing.
Cheers,
John.B
well my parents have never been for my hair but theyve never gone out of their way to tell me to cut it theyve always respected my choice rather then try to convince me otherwise but i know theyve never been for it if that makes sense lol its just great to see my mother enjoying my hiar as much as i do :{ ] thanks for the kind words man take care
Looks like you all had a lot of fun and if it brings your mom into the fold great. I just had to laugh when I saw pigtails after all a guy who can put a pic of himself in pigtails on the internet has to have a fantastic sense of humor. Life is a fleeting thing so we all need to be silly from tiem to time and laugh at ourselves.
Thanks for including us :)
Take care
Kevin
yep yep my day is not complete without some random sillyness and the mlhh is as attached to me as my hair is thank you for the kind words take care man :{ ]
Hi Kal El,
That is just wonderful news to hear, that will make the journey to long hair EXTRA rewarding! Also, your hair just keeps getting better and better all the time, be sure to keep it growing!
All the best,
David
keeping it growing is not a problem at all growing my hair is probably the easiest thing ive ever done next to breathing lol thanks for the kind words man take care :{ ]
Ha, that's quite surprising... But then again they have to give in in the end! Your hair looks in very good condition, btw, Kal!
yep yep i was quite surprised as well thanks man take care :{ ]
That's really great news man! And your hair just keeps getting better and better:)
Keep up the good work!
Simon
thanks for the kind words man take care
Maybe your mum has started to get used to it. To be fair your hair suits you down to the ground - or I think so. Hopefully things will continue like this for you and your mum.
Neil
yep yep shes never liked the idea but she was always the first when it came to family members or school to defend my choice in having long hair so im glad shes started to warm up to it
Well the pig tails certainly show your funny side but I like a single french braid for formal occasions-suit & tie stuff. Good luck. AJ
yep yep the french braid is a style i hope to experiment with in the future my hair isnt as long as it should be so my mother put two on each side of my head lol
Greetings Kal El:
What heart-warming pics!!! Your mom looks like a sweet lady. And your hair is looking great...keep up the good work!
Cheers,
Max L.
yep yep shes very sweet thanks for the kind words take care :{ ]
That is awesome beyond belief, Kal El. You look really happy in those pictures, and I'm glad you mom is not only accepting your ever-growing mane, but having fun with it as well!
Mouse
as am i thanks for the kind words mouse take care :{ ]
LOL! Bindi Irwin pigtails! Hehehe... Looks like you really enjoyed the quality time with Mom, as much as she emjoyed playing with your hair. The last picture says it all, your smile lights up the room.
Carol
yep yep was some grat quality time with mama thanks for the kind words take care :{ ]
Ah yes, when I was in high school (and had to have short hair) I often did (brushed, braided, etc.) my mom's hair for her, so I always figure it's her turn, but she insists it should 50/50 (or sometimes 40/60). Not that it's hard to do, but it's just so much nicer to have it done for you. Kind of like massages--they're free to give, but the world seems to be in such short supply, and it's so much more fun to receive than to give sometimes. :) But it's all good; I probably do owe her something, you know, for raising me, putting up with me when I was naughty as a child(and even today), cleaning up my messes as a baby, etc. etc. etc.
>>being an only child she never really got to experience having a >>daughter.
I don't know if it's that she misses a daughter as much as she naturally wants to do someone's hair, and who else is available but her son? :)
Nice hair. Have a great day!
