new thread
I decided to do a quick update on my hair. When damp, my hair now barely touches my shoulders. Those who missed my 18th month update will get to see what my hair looks like now.
Please note that the flash on my camera does not work anymore, and the photo was taken early in the morning.

Never got the chance to welcome you Chris. Welcome aboard! Your hair is lookin' good so far. Keep it growing and make sure to keep us posted on your progress :-)
cheers
thanks for the welcome dude good luck growin your hair
sup regardless your hair is pretty much like mine but the thing with my hair is you never know how it will look like after you wash it or w/e some days my hair looks straight, wavy or curly it really is unique hair. But yours is turning out to look straighter for teh most part good luck on growing out your hair
Thanks for the statement. My hair is naturally wavy, but obviously, when it gets longer, hair is going to get straighter as gravity pulls down on it. I am looking forward for the day I can put my hair (other than my bangs) into a complete ponytail.

Nice update Regardless,
I believe I saw your pic in a different thread yesterday. You're only an inch or so to having it on your shoulders which is awesome. Are you trimming your bangs? It seems they are much shorter than your overall length.
-Phil
The bangs are shorter due to the trim I got in February, when they were nearly cut off. I did not like the trim. The trim was for my cousin's wedding. I don't trim my bangs the way you might think.
Regardless
That's nothing you should see me when I get up in the morning.
Or perhaps better you didn't.
Such a fine mane and I'm sure you'll get many more compliments from across the street.
Kevin
Thanks for the statement Kevin. Most people like my hair, in fact. The few that don't either have some social issues or are plain rude.
When I get up in the morning, my hair can be a bit messy, till I water my hair down and comb it. I only wash my hair once a week.
Regardless
Oh yes Crystal Tips!
Regardless, Nice feeling to have your hair touching in your shoulders, isn't it. A great milestone. Keep it growin n flowin!
peace, jonalbear
It will be nice when it starts to actually touch my shoulders when dry, and it will be by the end of this month. By the end of the summer, my hair will really touch my shoulders.
Regardless
you're getting some good length there,Chris,keep it up :).
Thanks for the statement. FYI, I am not Chris, I am Regardless.
Regardless
Lol,sorry for not getting your name right,I was just trying to write your real name,not just regardless,and I also saw some people writting Chris,so I thought it was the right name :p.Anyways,keep up with your routine and don't worry about your hair,some people who have straight hair want it curly,and the ones with the curly hair want it to be straight.It doesn't matter how people feel about your hair,but how YOU feel about yourself,so don't pay attention to any put downs or bad comments,cause people nowadays are brainwashed into seeing short hair as the only male haircut,and they'll keep annoying us until we are sets with our minds.Peace :).
Great update Matthew! Even without a flash we can see you're making excellent progress. Soon your hair will be past shoulder length. Good work!
Bruce
I expect my hair to be past shoulder length by the end of August and I am looking forward to the day that I can put my hair in a complete ponytail (other than my bangs).
Regardless
Hi Regardless,
Your hair is coming along very well indeed, and is thick and healthy. You will be amazed where you will be a year from now.
Keep it growing,
David
I can't wait what I will look like in a year from now. I expect my hair to be a quarter way down my back. I am looking forward for the day I can put my hair in a full ponytail.
Regardless
Hi Regardless,
Well I'm a little late here but at least it wasn't never.Anyway so far you hair is looking great but I do advise avoiding trims as its a real setback.Well I'm sure you know that so I don't have to tell you:)The only thing missing from your pic is a smile but otherwise its cool.Take care my friend.
Mark
Anyway, thanks for the statement. I already know that.
Regardless
to make your hair more visible, even on the left side. Your hair is coming along well, and will greatly improve with added length. Don't let anyone discourage you from growing it. Wavy hair does require a longer growing time to look its best. In a year it should look fantastic.
Scott
Thanks for the statement. I wonder how I will look in a year. Like I said, I sometimes wish I have straight hair.
Regardless
And I wish I had natural curls! LOL you wouldn't want straight hair, its so unversatile. I'd love to have your hair, because you could have it both ways. You can just wash it and let it set curly naturally(my thick straight hair WON'T do that), or you could straighten it with a thorough blow-out and run it through with a flat-iron. Your're the lucky one man, you can wear both straight and curly styles. I'm stuck with just boring and straight!
Eric,
I think your hair is awesome, I also recently had my hairdresser give me bangs because I think I look better with bangs, it also gives me options with my hairstyles. I will sometimes wear them ironed out to the side or use a large round brush to give them some height. I don't understand why you want to be a hairdresser in a salon that they want to control you. There are so many salons that you could work at that would let you wear your hair any way you wanted to. Find one of those and be happy. By the way you probably have me by about 6 inches, but my hairdresser wants me to trim my hair next time I go in for my color which is next week. I will probably get a couple of inches taken off, so that my ends look better. With the right tools you can also do things with your hair, I will sometime use a large barrel iron to get long curls and my hair is almost as straight as yours.
Hi Eric. People say that it is easier to maintain straight hair, but having waves adds character to one's hair. On one of the updates, I saw a picture of a man with wavy hair and it looked cute. The main reason I wish my hair is straight is that it gains length the fastest and it does not tangle as easily.
I do not use blow driers or flat irons. They can damage hair.
Regardless
Yes, curly hair may be a bit more a challenge to maintain but I'm sure you're more than willing to rise up to that challenge! Besides, what's one more obstacle in the pursuit of long beautiful hair? You've already passed the first test which is choosing to be a longhair with flying colors, I'm sure taming your curls(which I find quite attractive if you ask me!) can't be that much more of a hurdle!
Almost shoulder lenght, keep it growing!
