Hi there,
I thought it was about time to post an "nth" update. I suppose it must be about 8 years since I started growing my hair out by I don't remember the exact date lol.
From the front
Side
Back
I just wanted to thank Kevin.C for taking the 2 ones at Wacken.
Okay I've done it now...:-)
Cheers,
John.B
Hey John, looking great! I love the length and it looks fantastic on you. Thanks for the update, awesome hair!
Hegg
Hi Hegg,
Thank you for your kind comments and I can't imagine life without having longhair now. But still I'll keep it growing.
Cheers,
John.B
I like the waves in your hair. Just don't cut it.
Regardless
Thanks for that and don't worry mate I certainly have no plans to cut it. That's the joy of growing your hair out as you never quite know how it's going to look or the texture. I know my mother is jealous of the waves and has to have a perm lol.
Cheers,
John.B
Fabulous! I can't believe how thick your hair is! It's truly very impressive.
Hi Jason,
Thank you for your kind words always good to hear from you and hope things are going well with your good lady.
I know having thick hair can be annoying sometimes when it comes to finger combing as it's drying but always worth it and to keep it in good condition. I suppose on good thing about having thick hair is that it keeps you hair warm in winter.
Great to see you hair is coming along leaps and bounds.
Cheers,
John.
OMG John
I had absolutely no idea whatsoever at how absolutely gorgeous your long hair was. Simply beyond magnificent and it looks in such superb healty condition.
A long hair hero you are without a single doubt. Just astonishing to my eyes! And WHAT inspiraton this is for ALL aspiring to grow their hair out long.
BRAVO! :-)
Take care and hope all is well with you.

Hi Justin,
Ah ha so you have spotted my little secret then! The odd update certainly shows the changes as you hair gets longer. I really appreciate you kind words and I hope that one day mine will a similar length to yours. I do have a good diet and eat well and enjoy lots of walking execise and the odd pint or two (but we won't go there lol, we at least walking to the pub!). I'm not feeling alot better and in good health and I'm sure that is reflected in the hair as well.
Well I do my best and if it inspires people all the better and yes I'm feeling very well at the moment and on-going check-ups are fine.
Take care my friend.
Cheers,
John.
Hi John,
At long last, you have blessed us with a full update, and it was WELL worth the wait! Your hair looks fabulous, and I cannot get over how THICK and healthy it is, and you are a genuine inspiration to everyone on the hyperboard.
Cheers,
David
Hi David,
I would just like to thank you for you positive comments and it certainly means alot. As I've said before I've just my hair grow and never monkeyied around with it at all.
As I said to Jason it's very thick and fun and games when it dries but I know some of the members of my family are jealous lol. As my grandmother said to me years ago "if you got something great show it to people" or "if you got it flaunt it" but I can't say I do that alot lol.
I just hope it helps others in growing their hair out in the future.
Cheers,
John.B
Hi John !
Truly impressive ! The shades of grey are nice ;)
Bye
Vivien
Hi Vivien,
Thank you for that. Well it's all natural and I've never been near a bottle of hair dye that's for sure.
Cheers,
John.B
Wow amazing hair, I definately like the 2nd picture of your side, looks like white hair dye, amazing length too :)
Patrick_R
I do like the second picture as you mentioned and we have to thank the board President Kevin.C for that and was taken at Wacken. What you can't see from that picture is a litre stein full of beer and we were in the festival beer garden as well. I can't quite remember which band was playing. I wish it was hair dye, lol, but it's natural.
Cheers,
John.B
Dude,your hair is simply a masterpiece.Peace :).
Hi Rafael,
Thanks for that and I've never considered it being a masterpiece and nice of you to say.
I saw you recent update and the hair is coming great and do keep it growing.
Cheers,
John.B
PS...we got any portrait painters in the house!
Hi John, at last eh?
Its great to see an update from you, I think it may be the first official one that I can remember, and it is well worth the wait.
Your mane is soooo thick and cool looking, thats how I would like mine to be someday.
I particularly like the shot of the lad in the maiden t-shirt picking at his arse too, must have been some spicy food on sale there at Wacken.
Anyway, like I said super update, and thanks for posting it.
P.S. Were Opeth at Wacken and were they good? I am seeing them in November.
Cheers Dave
LOL I thought that one was funny as well. must have been one of those dodgy Kebab stands.
Kevin
Hi Dave,
Thanks for you comments mate. Well I suppose it was time and a good excuse to put a few pics up after a wonderful trip to Wacken Germany and lots of good bands.
As Kevin remarked I'm sure there are a few dodgy curry stalls but we keep well clear of those and don't forget keep a good supply of immodium handy!
Cheers,
John.
Hey John. Your hair is looking great. Looks like you had a great time at the concert in Germany. It must have been nice to be in the majority, as it looked like more guys had long hair than short hair at the concert.
Del
Hi Del,
Your certainly right about that and it's nice to be in a place in the majority for once and if only once a year. Both Kevin.C and myself has a great time and also friends that came with us as well. Still if yoy to metal/rock shows over here the majorit of people do have longhair and the odd EMO kid, but we won't go there lol.
Cheers,
John.B
Absolutely stunning, and a pleasure to take pictures of such a
fine mane. Your certainly one of the lucky ones to have such a
great head of hair.
Cheers
Kevin
Hi Kevin,
First of all I have to say a very big thank you for taking those pictures and you did a wonderful job of taking those. I know that you have a good eye for taking pictures and not all people have such a talent or a creative eye.
Thanks for your kind comments and it's nice to lucky with one in life thats for sure.
It was good to see you again hope you got back okay and life is treating you well mate.
Cheers,
John.B
Great update, lad -- smashing, splendid, splendiferous, & c. And glad to see you having a good time at Wacken. Hope all is well back in London-town. The Thames a-flowing smoothly, the Queen all happy, etc. etc.
Matt B.
Hi Matt,
Wow such great descriptive words and thank you for that. Just I shame I can't remember to word to describe that lot lol. Oh yes Wacken was alot of fun and 5 days to good bands and one or two ales and great to see good friends there as well. Yupp back in the land of the Thames and time to plan for new adventure next summer!
Cheers,
John.B
Hi John!Its cool to see an update from you as I know they are rare so this one was especially special.You guys must have had a blast at the show and its just so cool that so many longhairs were around as you normally don't see that at concerts that much anymore.Sure there will always be some longhairs at a metal show but its nothing like I remember from years ago.Most, unfortunately, have found the scissors tucked away in the backs of their dressers and decided it was time to grow up and be a boring person working a dull 9 to 5 job until they can see retirement.LOL.You have to wonder how many wannabe longhairs are walking the corridors in the corporate weenie environment:)I guess we will never know.Anyway John your hair is fabulous and I sure would have liked to be with you guys at Wacken.Take care my friend.Cheers!!
Mark
Hi Mark,
Thanks for that and it's nice when someone else is taking pictures for a change and doing photography as I do it's nice to take a break from it. Still it was due an update and while Kevin.C was over seemed a good a time as any.
You should start saving and come over to Wacken or one of the other festivals and I know that you would have a wonderful time and us European folk do know how to make people welcome and hospitality second to none.
Thanks again my friend.
Cheers,
John.B
It's nice to see an update from you, your hair is looking great!
Hi Vincent,
Good to hear from and I hope you had a good holiday and thanks for that.
It's great to see yours growing out and I suppose I got a head start on you but you got something to aim for lol. As always keep it growing and look forward to your update pics.
If you get a chance have a listen to a band called Corvus Coras from Germany and let me know what you think.
Cheers,
John.B
Yes you got a head start indeed :p
I will keep it growing, haven't decided on the final lenght but 1 year of growth isn't enough yet. I think at 2-3 years without a trim I will have about the lenght I like.
My next update will be in september at the one year milestone.
I know Corvus Corax, I really like folk metal and although they are softer that most band I listen to I enjoy this band because of their unique sound. But thanks for the tip, I'm always looking for new bands.
John,
You hair is truly awesome! So full and thick too. I love the gray streaks too. :-)
Thanks mate and I know people would pay alot for streaks but these come for free and I would not have it any other way.
Cheers,
John.B
Wow!
Your hair looks great John B!!
Pics came out great; you are indeed an inspiration!
Hope all is well
peace
Ddude
Hi DDude,
Good to hear from you and thanks very much. I'm doing well and relaxed after my trip to Germany and was just nice to get away and chill out and not think about a thing.
I did see the pics of your holiday and it looks as though you had a great time and a lovely part of the world. The hair is coming along great and keep it growing.
Cheers,
John.B
Your hair is super thick, John. It looks fantastic. I had no idea it was so thick and full. How big is it when tailed? Perhaps as big around as a golf ball? Whatever your hair care routine is, you are certainly doing it right. Thanks for the update.
Scott
Very Impressive, John...
I suspect your secret to beautiful locks is frequent
Pub-Running ! HA!
Thanks for Sharing
Walter
How did you guess???
LOL
Kevin
DOh!
John, What a gorgeous head of hair you have! Glad you
decided not to "trim" it. It is at a wonderful
length and has beautiful variegated colour!
peace, jonalbear
Well I like what I've achived so far and why change something you are used to and happy with. Thank you for the kind comments.
Cheers,
John.B
John, you have a friggin' killer head of hair! Its highly enviable, do not let anyone tell you otherwise.
Also, many thanks for your kind words on my past updates on the board. See ya around!
Peace,
Ryan
Hi Ryan,
That's nice of you to say so and I don't plan letting and scissors near it for a very long time. We have to happy with that we can achieve and if you don't try you will never know.
Well that's what we are here for to encourage, help and keep longhair on people and just show how positive can be with all the negative stereotypes around.
Always good to hear from you mate.
Cheers,
John.B
Excellent mane John! You've made great progress since your "m"th update. May you have "x" more fantastic updates!
Bruce
Thanks Bruce and it won't be the last.
Cheers,
John.B
You're definitely holding court there ;)
Steve B

Perhaps, still beats a room full of pigeons!
Did you mention Pigeons??
Kevin
There's a story in there waiting to be told, by the sounds of it!
Steve B
Hi John
Very nice hair and it fits you very well.
Looking at the ends from the back: Are you sure you didn't have a trim before you took the pics? ;-)
--Tom
Hi Tom,
Thanks for your comment mate. No mate not had a trim for at least 3-4 years (eh trimmers!) and by all means ask Kevin.C as he was here and took 2 of the pics.
Cheers,
John.B
Hi John,
I know from your earlier posts that you'd never hava a trim if not absolutely necessary.
I was just joking!
Cheers, Tom
Thanks Tom I did see that and my brain was asleep when replying earlier..lol!
Great looking mane John!

Hi John,
I was looking forward to this update for a long time and it was defenitely worth it. Your hair looks superb, it's thick and healthy and the colour is awesome. I love the shiny silver coloured strands and the waves. Bravo. Does your hair still get longer or has it reached terminal length, yet? Anyway you are very lucky to have suck a great mane and you take good care of it.
I'm going to do an update soon, at the last in October. Unfortunately a few strands are much shorter now (someone tried to cut my hair...). :-(
I hope you enjoyed Wacken, as I enjoyed the PartySan aswell. I probably will never make my way to Wacken because it's getting a little bit too big and expensive for my taste.
I'm looking forward to hear from you soon and this time we maybe find a solution to stay in contact. I probably make my way to Wales in September for 12 months. :-)
I hope you do well in England.
Best wishes,
Herb2992 (Germany)
Hi Herb,
Good to see you posting and thank you for kind words and I was wondering what had happenned to you. As I said in an earlier reply it's still growing but I don't think it's reached terminal yet and there are fast hair growers than me.
I'm very sorry to hear that some tried to cut your hair and what happenned and that is not nice to hear.
I did wonder whether you were goign to Wacken or not and glad you enjoyed PartySan. I hear that alot of people that used to go to Wacken go there now as it's not as big as Wacken is now. I hope to go there one of these summers and also Metalcamp.
If you are going to be in Wales it would be great to do sort out a meetup perhaps. Keep me in touch with you plans for Wales.
Good to hear from you my friend.
Cheers,
John.B
That is some epic hair there John. Do you think you have reached terminal length yet?
Keep it growing mate!
Neil
Hi Neil,
Thanks for the encouragement mate and great to see you posting as always and hope things are well with you.
I did wonder if it was reaching terminal about 12 months ago but it is longer so yupp it's growing but perhaps not at the average growth rate or 1/2" per month. But I'm sure in house height and length analyisers can tell us different.
Do you should do an update when you can mate. We should also try and grab that beer at some point.
Cheers,
John.B
Hey John, great update. Your hair is just amazing...looking great! Looks like everyone had a good time...thanks for sharing...
Cheers,
Max
Hi Max,
Thanks for that and yes we have a great time. I see nothing wrong with seeing and showing people having a great and just as have longhair why should it be different. I'm sure they would say different on other inverse boards!
Cheers,
John.B
You've got such a great mane, John. The color is marvelous and it looks quite thick. [referring to a comment below] Keep hitting up the pub!
Mouse
Hi Mouse,
Thanks for your lovely comments.
Well hitting the pub must be working and keep the mane in good condition as you recommend I'll continue to go to the pub. Ales are good for the hair lol.
Cheers,
John.B
John..
Wow!
You've got an excellent mane my friend! Keep it up..
Tristan
Than you for that Tristan and as I commented before your is coming along great do keeping it growing and watch that hear where you live.
Cheers,
John.B
Wow!!! Amazing update John! Your hair looks impressive. So thick too! Thanks for sharing this killer update with us.
Hi Chris,

How's the wolfman doing!
Cheers,
