Good morning all,
I hope everyone had a great and safe Memorial Day weekend! Not to be cheesy or anything but I wanted to thank all of you for your continued support and efforts toward the long hair community. As I've stated in previous posts, I had mid/lower back length hair up until january of this year but then paniced as the front/widow's peak was thinning and cut it MUCH shorter in layers. Up til that point I didn't take great care of my hair (washed it every day, combed through tangles, used harsh products, had tons of split ends...etc).
Since cutting it, I immediately decided to grow it back again (I had become aware of the forum after cutting otherwise I would have known of the 2-week rule lol), and this time I take EXTREMELY good care of it and it shows. I now wash it sparingly, take biotin which has helped tremendously, am very gentle with brushing and distribute the hair oils and just generally take better care of it. It completely shows and it looks/feels better than ever. As for the frontal thinning, I've been taking Propecia to attempt to regrow/halt the thinning and so far so good.
I would like to thank you all for your continued support, advice, encouragement and friendships. I now plan on hopefully growing it beltlength and seeing where that takes me. Luckily my hair grows impressivly fast (I had it above my chin in feb and it's already well past my shoulders!). I'll post an update of my progress as soon as I can take a decent photo of myself (I'm not photogenic at all!) which is why I havn't requested an add to the directory, sadly lol. Thank you ALL for everything and I will post a photo update this week for sure!

Hey Phil, glad you got lots of motivation from the site. Look forward to seeing your pics. Since your hair is so fast growing from what you say, it should be a breeze going through the growing process again.
Cheers,

Welcome to the board, good you found us and take better care of your hair now.
Good luck with regrowing your hair to it's former lenght.
Thanks Vincent, though I've been hangin around here for quite some time without a directory add heh, I plan on requesting an add as soon as I can take a decent photo of myself for an avatar hah. Thanks for the support, I hope to go well beyond my former length this time around. Keep us posted on your progress as well, your hair looked Great in your last update.

Hi Phil
Yes the weekend was great especially the weather.Sorry for responding late to your post but better late than never:)Anyway its too bad that you felt the need to cut your hair back but since you say it grows fast you should be back to longhairdom in no time.Whenever you get the chance to post a pic that would be great as I'd love to see your mane no matter what length it currently is.Also you will get great support here as I wish there was an MLHH back in the 80s when I first started growing my hair long.Back then it was a matter of will that kept me going.Keep the faith and look forward to your future posts.
Mark
Thanks Mark,
Always good to hear from you whether late or early heh. I'm glad you enjoyed the good (for once) Jersey weather as well. Yea I wish I knew of the board when it started which is about when I started growing my hair out (I think 1996?? I was 12) I've grown it out a bunch of times and cut it but kept it long for the past 4 years. I definatly plan on posting some photos over the weekend. Take care Mark.
