Hi, here is a quick 15 month update, really only because I'm putting off studying Organic Chem but I'm due anyway. Last update was June - 12 months, there has been some fair progress since then although my hair seems to get curlier instead of longer. I don't post much but I read everyday and, as usual, thanks to all of you.
Lookin really good there Allen! Soon you'll be completely out of the awkward stage:)
Simon
Thank you Simon. I enjoy watching your progress as well.
Your hair is AWESOME, period.
Now hit the books! ;)
Boo studying. Yay, hair! (to paraphrase the Red Stripe commercial)
Nice hair indeed. I actually think the curliness adds a great deal - certainly nothing to criticise yourself for which you seem to be doing.
Thank you sir. My mother tells me that women everywhere envy my curls.
Wow, looking really good thus far. I'd say we're at about the same point in terms of length, but I'd say my hair is on average a bit curlier than yours. Keep up the good work.
Peace,
Ryan
Thank you for the kind words.
Your brother in waviness,
Allen
Looks great! Nice curl and length.
Right on. Thank you.
Looking Good. The curliness is extenuated by the fact that your hair is getting "scrunched" up as it his your shoulders, but it suits you. Another few months it'll be past your shoulders and unimpeded to flow down your back.
Unimpeded flow is definitely what I'm going for. Funny, my urologist tells me the same thing. Thank you.
You have hair convos with your urologist?
Ha! No, he was talking about a different kind of flow.
Hey Allen, your hair is definitely longer, and it looks great. You have excellent length for only 15 months. Just lovely.
Scott
Thank you Scott. Coming from you that is quite a compliment.
Hey you have really nice curly/wavy hair Allen, very impressive update. Looks very cool, the curls are worth it even if they apparently keep your hair looking shorter.
Just think of hair growing as an experiment in Organic Chemistry, maybe you can get extra credit for the project :)
I can see it now: "Sustained Polymerization of Keratin on a Biotic Substrate". Thanks!!!
Whoa! Time for an avatar update, Allen. Those ringlets are very full and suit your face quite well. Keep it growing! =)

Thanks James. I can see an avatar update in my future too. Maybe it would behoove me to wait until 18 months though. Or maybe not, since my grandma keeps threatening to get after me with the scissors. In any case, thanks, and keep rockin' the waves!
Hi Allen,
What a fabulous update. Your thick curly hair looks outstanding, and what a HUGE change from you avatar! You have come such a LONG ways in such a short period of time, and things only get better from now on. Remember that curly hair can be frustrating to grow long, but the rewards are WELL worth it, as long curly hair looks awesome! I just celebrated my one year anniversary with an update of my own, and really think this is a fabulous community like no other.
It is cool that you are studying Organic Chemistry. Perhaps I see a fellow scientist in the making! I am a chemist myself, and wish you all the best in your future goals.
My best to you, and keep it growing!

(time for a new avatar!)
Thank you for your kind words, David. I aspire to be a scientist someday, but Organic Chem is only a requirement on the path to a Biology degree, not my true passion.
You are right that curly hair is frustrating but judging by others on the board (Mr. Crow, Fire In the Sky, among others) curly/wavy hair looks great once it finally gets out there. Thats why I continue to look to you and them on this board for support.
Thanks again!
Excellent progress; I wish I had that wavy texture to my hair.
Looks great; keep it up.
Cool update. You look like your just about done with the awkward stage. I like the curly hair but that's how it is, people with curly hair want straight hair and the other way around.
Good luck with organic chem
Kevin
Hey Allen, wow what a head of hair...well done, lookin great!
Cheers, Max
I would put off Organic Chemistry (ugh ! yuk ! phooy !) to show off that hair also ! HA!
Lookin' Sharp !
Thanks for Sharing

Simply outstanding, Allen. The curls have such life to them, and they look well cared for. Long hair really suits you.
Your sister in waviness,
Mouse
Awesome Allen, Ride the dark waves dude!
peace, jonalbear
Looking great, Allen! You've got some very nice and healthy looking curls dude! Hang in there and keep on growing it.
Chris H,
Your brother in CURLINESS ;-)
Allen ...
Whoa dude ... your hair has made great progress since June! It looks outstanding. What length are you shooting for? It looks thick and healthy so you shouldn't have any worries on growing further..
Keep it flowin ...
Tristan
You have superb hair and have achieved great length for such a short period.
Keep it growing! Dave
