Final shot ... experimenting with some black & white options.
Again, thanks guys (and a few gals) for all the wonderful support. It's going to be even better this year! Comments always enjoyed.
Be Blessed...
Tristan
Hey Tristan now that was a super update. You have progressed amazingly. YOu look great in all those styles too...wish I could pull that off. Any you have such thick voluminous hair and a hairline to scalp for! Just joking. Well done and congrats!
Cheers, Max
Hi Max...
Funny you should say that.. my dad once told me that way way back I had some Cherokee Indian in my line and thats where the thickness of my hair actually comes from. Interestingly, I see absolutely no native American features in any of my family though ... of course I'm no expert either..
Thanks Max for your support. Take Care..

Hey Tristan
All great photos and your hair is looking sensational. I like B+W photos as well. (Guess the only that wasn't covered was Sepia.) So, here you are in that. Enjoy and keep up the spledid work of growing out your hair.
All the best-

Hi Justin~
Thanks so much for the inspiration .. I really like how the different tones of a picture can change the whole perception and mood of a photo. Thanks for showing those details!
Take care. Peace.
Tristan

Hey Clayton ..
Thanks so much for your kind words. I think I should be the one thanking most of you guys for all the help this past year. I'm sure I would've caved in and cut it if it weren't for all of you..
Take care man..
Tristan
Spectacular update, Tristan! Man, you are doing great so far... By your 2 year update, you're gonna have ringlets and waves all over the place. Looks like it was a gorgeous day out in Colorado. Wish I could say the same for here... Stay well. =)

Hey James..
Thanks for the inspiration! As I said earlier .. I'm trying to catch up to you! :) It's been a great time so far, and only going to get better as the awkward phase is finally coming to a close..
Colorado weather (as you know) is crazy in Spring. Yesterday and today it was in the 70s ... tomorrow calls for a chance of snow.. gotta love Spring time in the Rockies.
When do you plan on coming back home?
Hopefully we can plan something..
Take care..
Tristan
Hi Tristan,
Thanks for the superb and wonderful update. You hair is coming along leaps and bounds and looks even better since the last update. I like the diffrent styles you have done and shown in the pictures and just shows how versitile longhair can be. The b/w one is one of my favs and always a great medium to work worth. Keep it growing.
Cheers,
John.B
Hey John.B ..
Thanks man. This has been one of the best things I've ever done. I had semi-long mullet hair in the 80s, but nothing like this.
I enjoy the B/W photos as well. I may do more of those later.
Take Care.
Tristan
WOW, i can't believe it's been 20 months already, --- and a full year w/ MLHH! Those pics look FANTASTIC!!!
A big CONGRATS are definitely in order!!
I miss hangin' out here more often, like I used to do when you first arrived on the scene here last year; but, that doesn't mean that everybody is no longer in my thoughts or in my heart anymore...
Anyway, since I had a day off today, and had the time to visit MLHH this evening, just thought I'd take a little time to reply to a few posts and updates, --- yours being definitely one of 'em!
Take care, --- and keep up the good growing!!
- Ken
Hey Ken..
A big huge thanks to you my friend. I can't say enough how you personally have made this year enjoyable. Your wit and humor are classic; and not to mention you have rockin hair man. I too wish I could post more; but "real life" sometimes mandates these things. I hope to be less sporadic this year.
Take care Ken.. hope to chat soon.
Peace..
Tristan
awesome bro! thats great progress dude and its so long now! wow keep it up brother :)
Thanks Mark..
Its been so much fun thus far.. I look forward to more progress with coming summer months.. Take care..
Tristan
Hi Tristan,
It is always a pleasure to get an update from you, and your hair looks fabulous in this latest update! Your hair is so thick and filled with natural waves, and you have come such a long ways since your introductory photo! Just imagine where you will be in another year of growing!
Take care,
David
Greetings David!!
Thanks so much. (dad) :)
You have provided me and many many others the kind of wonderful support that make this board what it is! So, I need to thank you for that!
I'm excited to see what the next year will bring for my hair as it gets really long. Hopefully it will be easier since I'm now edging my way out of the awkward phase..
Take care David..
Tristan
Thanks for posting GlassEyes ... I've enjoyed the ride thus far; we'll see what the next year brings..
Peace...
Tristan
Cool update man! Looking good!
Hey Erik ..
Thanks for posting man. I must say you've come a long way in the time I've been here as well. Thanks so much for all your support..
Take care and keep rockin..
Tristan
Hi Tristan,
Wow your hair is much longer as I thought, you've got some nice waves/curls in your hair.
Keep up the good progress!
Hey Vincent..
Thanks so much for your kind words. Some days those curls and waves can be a nightmare .. but they usually calm down with some TLC..
Take care. Peace.
Tristan
Hi Tristan!
Well congratulations on being a user of the mlhh for a year and most important your outstanding hair.I see you post pics the same way I do since I've never mastered grouping them all together in one post.LOL.Regardless you have awesome thick hair that should reach a very long length should you decide to try for that:)I certainly hope you do as longhair looks great on you.Anyway thanks for the update as I really like the half tail look a lot on you.Hope all is well out there in beautiful Colorado and be well my friend:)
Mark
Hey Mark!
Whats up man? Thanks for posting. I have to say you've been one of the inspirations that have kept me going this year. A big hearty thanks to you my friend.
I still remember those "classic" 80s pictures you posted awhile back.. those just rocked dude. - Brought back some really fond memories for me. Take care Mark..
Peace..
Tristan
Tristan,
I didn't realize how thick your hair is until I saw the pic with it tailed. You hair is looking great! Keep it growing LONG!
Mike
Mike ...
Thanks so much man. Sometimes the thickness and curls are wild, expecially in the a.m., but its worth it..
Thanks again for posting..
Peace..
Tristan
Hello Tristan, you have some Fine lookin waves there!
Frank
Hi Frank ...
Thanks for posting man. It'll be interesting to see what they look like in another year.. hopefully more tame! :)
Take care..
Tristan
Your hair has a beautiful texture and waviness. It looks great long. What's your goal length?
You are a very lucky man...and blessed!
Hey..
Thanks for posting.. probably mid-back and all one length eventually. We'll see.
Thanks again..
Tristan
Whoa! Talk about progress! Your hair is coming along very well Tristan. I can only imagine how it'll look in 2009.
I'd say my own hair is about two or three months behind yours in terms of length right now.
Have a good one!
Peace,
Ryan
Hey Ryan..
Thanks so much for the encouragement. 2009 will be our year to shine right?! I can't wait to see our progress. Take care and thanks again..
Tristan
Wow, Tristan! Your hair has gotten so long. It seems like you just showed yourself around these parts. I really like the half-tail style. Keep it growing for sure. Like the Colorado Blue Spruce in the background of one of the pictures too.
MB
Hey Matt..
How are you doing man? Thanks for posting. This journey has been a great experience for me.. I encourage every male to grow their mane at least once in their life.. How are things in the south?
I think the Blue Spruce tree is one of those that looks great all year round personally.. this one sits in the green belt across from my house..
Take care Matt and great to hear from ya..
Tristan
wow you have great hair!!
from the looks of it, i'd say we have the same hair type, seeing how it's wavy and sort of curls at the bottom..
i would love to have my hair like that on my 20th month (im at 12 so far)
good luck on your ongoing journey!
Hi Christopher..
Thanks so much for posting. Keep your mind set on your goal and you'll be at 20 months in no time.. This board is really the only reason for my success..
Take care and happy growing..
Tristan
Looking REALLY good, Tristan. Your hair does what mine does as it gets longer. I particularly like the look!
Bob
Hi Bob ..
Thanks for your support.. curls have their challenges; but like you.. I enjoy the look..
Take care..
Tristan
Hi Walter..
I couldn't have made it without support from you and other members of this board. I've had absolutely no support in "real life" if you know what I mean.. thanks a million..
Take care..
Tristan
Hey..
Thanks so much.. sometimes the waves become a pain; but for the most part I'm happy with them. Thanks for posting..
Peace..
Tristan
Wow...you have quite a mane there. It looks excellent all around, but the ringlets/curls on the halftail shot are my favorite. I can't wait to hear what your family has to say.
Keep plotting!
Mouse
Hi-ya Mouse...
Thanks so much for your great support. I've enjoyed posting back and forth w/ ya this year.
I'm really hoping that before August my hair just explodes with length .. the longer the better... I can't wait to see the look on their faces.. Plotting is fun isn't it??
Take care Mouse and thanks again for all your great support!
Tristan
Looks awesome Tristan! Alot longer than your avatar:D
Simon
Hey Simon ...

Take Care..
