I washed it this morning, and I feel its finally coming out of the awkward stage, it stays so well now.
This is the official 14 month shots. SO much better than last year at the same point.
It's long, but still not long enough ;)
I love you all

Take care,
Tom
Thanks for the replies, guys. You've all been inspirations.
- Chris PhoeniX
Your hair is looking so healthy and beautiful!
You are a gorgeous lad:)
Haha, thanks. Ever since I grew out my hair, I've been getting compliments on my looks. I really do think long hair brings out the best in me.

Hi Chris,
Well an official 14th month reply ,why did you dye it?
Cheers,
John.B
The purple faded out, leaving my hair with a mixture of brown roots and the rest dark.
Black has always suited me, so yeah. A couple of my favourite people had black hair, so that was kind of an inspiration.
- Chris PhoeniX
Well that is your choice and i'll keep natural.
It just keeps getting better all the time!!
So where's your eyeliner?
Great pictures - superb hair - hope it soon reaches your desired length. Best wishes.
Am I mistaken or didn't you have to cut your hair because of a dye job gone wrong?
Kevin
You're mistaken.
- Chris PhoeniX
I distinctly remember you saying you cut your hair previously due to dyeing it.
Indeed you are correct I'll cut and paste the comments from the post
I sold out and cut my hair. But I have my reasons.
1: I wasn't happy at the legnth of the back and sides at all. I ruined it last year with trims and cuts to make it even and shit, which is a big no-no.
2: I fucked it up with hair dye last year. Around April time, I dyed it black, and later in the year I tried to get it out, and it never returned back to the natural colour. It is now the natural colour, which will be good.
3: The trims made my hair look short than the top and front was, which was annoying.
I have a friend who last cut his hair around the same time I did in late 2005. He let his grow without trims, and his hair looks longer and cooler than mine did, so I'm going to do that. Grow it without trims. I feel it's at a good starting point right now, and it should take less than what it did last time, as I'm not starting from a number 2 buzz cut. So that should cut a couple of months out of the waiting time.
Look at the plus side:
1: It will be the natural colour.
2: I can create a sight with progress pics monthly, that should be fun, and helpful to others who want to grow their hair out.
So yeah, I'm really sorry, I kinda regret doing it, but it almost had to be done.

PS: Please understand, and please don't hate me for this.
that it was also dyed black last time and that was a primary reason for cutting.
Black is pretty much for keeps. I have used temporary 28 wash dyes but ones that color towards reddish/plum. They don't cause longterm problems.
Shall we take bets on how long before the next cut?
I'm game!! I'd wager in less than 6 months. :D
I say one year, lets see who ends up closest. :D
I'll wager you one Dollar.
OK. This is just too much to resist. T'will throw one 3' long hair into the ring. The gavel should end at 1.01. Going once, going twice,.....gone! I win and shall be careful not to expend it all in one place. Promise. Now you guys KNOW that I can't be topped with this one. Nah-Nah. 1.02 where?
The second pic...it looks great. Did you straighten your hair?Because it looks like you did!
Nice update, congrats on your hair being in a better condition than the last time you grew it out. Just be carefull with dying it you don't want it to be in a bad condition again.
