Hello all, first time poster here.
Finally getting closer to exiting the awkward stage.

I made the choice to grow my hair out in April this year and so far I'm glad I did.
I'll post updates once I reach those 'milestones'.
wow man you've attained some massive growth hope to see you around welcome to the mlhh :{ ]
Thanks. I found this place when I was surfing on Google. Lucky find for me.
mhhm i found it on google about three years ago just posted about july of this year though this place made me want to grow my hair :{ ] its the best place for long hairs
Holy schnitzel! You've got an incredibly fast growth rate! Not to mention awesome hair! Keep up the excellent progress! :)
Thanks. I hope this rate continues. Then maybe I will have a worthwhile update by New Years.
Your hair is looking good too.
Welcome !
You have come a long way quickly and it looks great....
Oh by the way.....first time posting IS one of "those milestones" !
Thanks for Sharing

Thanks for the welcome! I'm liking my hair more and more each day. I'm really looking forward to getting out of the awkward stage. Not once have I even considered getting a h-----t.
Greetings Patrick! Welcome to this fine community. Wow, 3 inches in 3 months, that is phenomenally fast growth, twice as fast as average...good for you. Best wishes in your journey!
Cheers,
Max L.
Thanks for the warm welcome! I love this place. Plenty of useful information and fellow longhairs full of support. Thanks again.
Welcome Patrick, you've got to share your miracle hair growing recipe with us! An inch a month has got to be a record. At that rate you'll be tripping on your hair before you know it!
Keep on growin'

I think the main secret is genetics. As far as I remembered, I've always had to make frequent trips to get a h-----t when I was a kid. My folks were keen on me having short hair :(
I've read the longhair notes on this page and they were extremely helpful. As a guy in the awkward stage, I've been brushing in place of trimming to make it look neater. Even my parents who were completely against letting my hair grow now like it when I have it brushed back.
Thanks again for your support. I'm glad I found this place.
Hi Patrick,
You have some really good progress for only 3 months and it does look like your near the end of the awkward stage. I look forward to your future updates as your hair grows very fast.
Take Care
Kevin
Thanks. I'm getting closer to being able to brush the front to behind my ears. For the time being, it's either a hat (dont really like them but sometimes its the only choice), or hair gunk.
I hope to have some worthwhile updates by New Years, or maybe even sooner.
First of all, welcome to the MLHH, Patrick. Secondly, that is amazing growth for that timespan! You're well on your way to having an awesome head of hair. Hopefully that growth rate will continue. Best of luck and see you around the board! =)

Thanks for the welcome! Many people are saying that. I've heard the typical hair growth is about 1/2 inch per month. My hair has always grown rather quickly and now that I want to go long, I hope it continues to do just that.
I can already tell I'll be at these forums for awhile, nice crowd here.
Welcome to the MLHH Patrick, glad you found us. 1 inch a month is twice as fast as I have heard hair typically grows, so you are very lucky!
Looks great so far, any idea how long you want to grow it out to? It is great to give long hair a chance no matter how you end up feeling about it :)
Thanks, I'm glad I found you fellow longhairs also. I've heard the typical growth rate is 1/2 inch a month. 6 inch / year. hopefully my hair continues to grow like a weed. The awkward stage hasn't been so bad and never once have I even considered a h-----t.
For now I'd like to grow it past my shoulder blades, maybe even mid back. Who knows, I may shoot for terminal length someday.
Thanks for your support :)
Patrick, Looking very good. Great progress. I'm sure you will be very pleased to be out of the awkward stage. Will be looking forward to further updates. Welcome aboard.
peace, jonalbear
Thanks, and yes, I can't wait to get out of the awkward stage. This is the longest I have let my hair grow, and I haven't once even thought about a h------ since deciding to go long.
I'll probably be posting more pictures around New year to show my progress.
Umm... that's pretty fast! Like James said let's hope it will continue to be fast (not that there is any reason that it might not) Probably a few months from now you'll start looking like a longhair with that speed ;]
Fast growing hair runs in the family. I've never really let my hair grow much longer than it is now. I also cant wait to see if it continues the same speed. Makes me wonder exactly when it will reach shoulder length.
I will post updates once I reach new milestones.
Hi Patrick,
That is amazing hair growth for 3 months and you must have good hair growing genes and with that rate your well on your way. Look forward to the next update.
Cheers,
John.B
Thanks.
My hair always grew fast as early as I could remember. Unfortunately when I was growing up, my parents decided for me when it was time to get a (h word) :( As much as I hated getting them, I always knew some day I would be the one to decide how long my hair should be. At first I was just used to having shorter hair so I kept it that way for awhile but the longhair inside me is coming out, in full force!
I'll probably throw on another pic once my hair starts finding its way to my mouth.
Hi Patrick,
First of all, I would like to give you a warm welcome, I am delighted that you have found the hyperboard. That is a phenomenal growth rate, an inch a month is twice the average growth rate! Your hair looks fabulous already, and with growth that fast, you should be able to grow it to your waist in less than 3 years.
Keep it growing,
David
Thanks for the welcome. Glad I found this place, Added it to my favorites page for quick access :) My fast growth rate is likely genetics. As far as I can remember my parents forced me to get a h-----t every few months to keep it short. Ugh.
With each passing day I'm liking my hair more and more. I get a cold shiver down my back whenever I pass by a barbershop. Noooo thank you...
My goal is for at least mid back. I've nver had long hair in the past so it'll be interesting to see how long it can get. Waist length would be awesome.
Really cool hair and it suits you! I'll be awaiting your future progress:)
Simon
Thanks. I'm liking my hair more and more each day. Makes me wish I had the opportunity to grow it out earlier.
If the same rate of growth continues, expect some nice updates around New Years
Wow! That's quite a difference in only a few months. Keep it growing for sure.
Carol
Now worries, it WILL be growing for a long time! :)
I'm hoping my growth rate continues so I have some worthwhile updates to post around New Years.
Thanks for your reply and Happy Halloween!
Welcome to the hyperboard, Patrick! And for goodness' sake, even if you, personally, aren't necessarily "anxious" to become a longhair fast, it sounds like your HAIR is definitely hurrying things up for you (lol)!!
Take care, --- and again, WELCOME!!
