Major milestone at just short of 14 months into my longhair journey. I measured my first few 12 inch strands of hair on my head.
My goal is to be able to tie a low ponytail by the end of July, which is likely at this point. My hair has grown about an inch in the last month.
Picture taken Saturday night (May 31) at Navy Pier with my better half :)
Your hair looks great, keep it growing. My hair is getting close to that point.
Regardless
Thanks for your comment! How long ago was your avatar picture taken, I remember having hair that length not too long ago.
My avatar picture was taken on May 10th, 2008.

Your hair has gotten off to a great start. From here on it just gets better. It would be cool to grow it to at least 24" long.
A low ponytail by the end of July is likely in reach. You need 13 to 14 inch bangs to reach the tie.

Thanks! My original goal was to grow it to mid back, but since I really enjoy growing my hair (now even more that im out of the awkward stage) I now am going for waist length or perhaps even longer.
I'm able to keep a good low ponytail all day with just a little bit of spray in the front to keep it down, but am really looking forward to not depending on spray anymore. Getting so close!
Hi Pat
So far your hair looks fabulous even at being only 12 inches.You look great right now and long hair does agree with you:)Not sure what your goal ultimately will be but I can see you'd look outstanding with waist length hair.Also I have to say I like the big hoop earrings with your hair.Very nice.Hope you had fun with your better half at the Pier.Take care and thanks for posting your update.

I'm really starting to enjoy my hair much more now that I'm clear of the awkward stage. People are finally starting to support me and my decision to grow my hair longer.
My eventual goal is now waist length. originally when I joined here it was mid-back.
As far as the earrings go, I do wear them just about every time I wear my hair down. And we really had a great night. The weather could not have been any better.
Nice Pic there PatM.
Frank
Thanks. Really enjoying my hair now.
Keep it growing

Your hair looks really cool and (WOW) an inch a month! I'm envious. The blond color looks great. Your gf is pretty too. I guess you're just all around a lucky guy.

Thanks! My hair seems to grow faster in the summer months than in the wintertime. I remember only in the beginning of may I measured my first 11 inch strands. This past Sunday morning I measured my first 12 inch strands. This is also the first time I have ever had hair a foot long.
I'm still patiently waiting to be able to wear the low ponytail without help from hairspray.
My girlfriend is also very supportive of my hair journey.
You look great, Pat! Congrats on your latest milestone.
Joshua
Thanks! I figure this will do for my 14th month update since I'm pretty close to it.
Now aiming for waist length hair maybe longer.
Keep it growing and have a great day!
Pat, Fantastic progress with your hair.
Great looking couple. Awesome smiles both!!
peace, jonalbear
Thanks. I'm really enjoying my hair now that I have control over it again. So glad to be out of the awkward stage :)
We both had a great night also :)
You're blessed with an amazing growth rate, you can grow it very long easy.
Thanks. I notice my hair grows much faster in the summer months than in the winter. During winter my hair grew a alittle over half inch per month.
Seems to be following the same growth rate it did when I first started growing it out last spring.
Yaour Hair looks awesome dude. The pictures not to clear, but it looks like you got some really nice hoop earrings on too :-)If I'm right what size are they? Love that look myself!
Thanks :)
My scanner is prehistoric but it's the most recent picture I have other than the use of a webcam which I normally use to post my updates on here.
I almost always wear that set of earrings whenever I wear my hair down. My girlfriend gave them to me for my 25th birthday. They're almost 1-3/4" inch in diameter. I love how they look on me too.
This is the pair of earrings I wear [pretty much whenever I don't have3 my hair tied back. About 1 and 3/4 inch in diameter.
Compared to in size with an American quarter.
Thanks for the pic! I like that size, the ones I wear mostly are about 1". I think that size would look much better with my hair down, they look nice and thick too, which I like. Are they fairly heavy?
w0w dude that is some awesome hair! very fast growth rate for only 14 months im at over 14 months and my hair is maybe 9 inches lol your lucky and the ear rings are too cool man keep it up!
Thanks! I'm surprised at how quick my hair grows in the warmer months of the year also. Your hair in your avatar looks great and I'm sure you're in for a summer growth spurt also.
Keep it growing!
Awesome growth rate at 1" for last month. You are well on your way.
Thanks. I'm now looking forward to letting it grow to at least waist length. Maybe longer?
Peace.
Pat !
What an incredible difference from your "avatar".
You and your lady make a handsome couple !
Thanks for Sharing

I never thought I would have reached the 12 inch milestone so soon either. My hair growth slowed down a bit in the winter but it's picking up again. I remember how excited I was when I measured 11 inch hair for the first time in the beginning of May.
And also thanks about your comment about us as a couple. We are both in the process of growing our hair long, although she has a several inch head start lol.
Take care and keep it growing.
I always love to stop at Navy Pier when I get down to Chicago if time permits.
Congrats on an ongoing successful hair journey and all looks good in that dept. Also give my regards to your better half she's looking quite fine, your very lucky indeed.
Kevin
I do too, but it's not often I get a chance to actually stop there. I'm really enjoying my hair much more now that I made it through the awkward stage.
We are both growing our hair long. She is helping making it even more fun.
Take care and keep growing the hair.
Wow, what a great update! Your hair is really looking long now. May I say that you and your other half make a beautiful couple!
Franny
Thanks :)
I really enjoy the feeling of hair laying across my shoulders and the fact that it takes almost 2 hours to dry. It's a new experience for me that I wish I would have done long ago.
Hi Pat,
What a fabulous update! You are blessed with thick and straight hair, with the added bonus that it is super fast growing as well, so you should be able to grow it super long if you wish to.
Keep it growing,
David
Thanks! My hair is mostly straight, but will get a slight wave to it after awhile, or if I take it out of a ponytail. Right now I'm looking forward to growing waist length hair, and with the support I have been getting from MLHH I'm sure it will be a enjoyable experience getting there.
Take care and keep growing the hair.
Your hair is growing like crazy!!! Not even 14 months and you're at that length?! Sheesh... Keep it up and you'll be at your waist by Christmas. ;)

Hi Pat,
Thats a great update and your hair is coming along great and certainly a change from the last update. Your hair certainly looks alot fuller and so straight as well. I know a few ladies would be jealous.
It's a great picture of you both and keep it growing.
Cheers,
John.B
Great hair Pat!! keep it growing.
The earrings rock and and make a great contrast with your hair
Cheers
Hey Pat, great pic of you and your partner, great looking couple indeed. Congrats on your milestone. Your growth rate is phenomenal...highly unusual...good for you. Keep it going!
Cheers,
Max
Great look, the hair suits you well, also the beard is cool.
You look a little like David Beckham, but I guess we all have a cross to bear ;-)
~ Dave

Good luck and keep growing!
