Hello guys. This is my 20th month update on my hair growth. My hair had not been growing out much lately, and it probably has to do with the warm weather that is taking place in Seattle lately. It reached 90 degrees the last few days in Seattle. I have been shedding my hair a lot lately. Every morning when I comb my hair, a lot of strands come out. I am not too concerned, though. My hair should start shedding less and start growing out faster in the fall. Don't worry; I had not gotten a trim since my cousin's wedding in February. For those that are new to MLHH or otherwise have not seen my previous updates, I have been growing out my hair from a close-cropped cut (which is only a bit longer than a buzz cut).
Here are the pictures of what my hair looks like as of today.
My hair as of now (note that the hair on my left side is a tiny bit longer than my right side, due to the uneven trim I got in February)
My hair from the side (note the waves in it)
My hair can actually go past my shoulders if I pulled it out straight.
My ponytail as of now (note it is still not complete, yet, but it should be by mid-fall)
My hair when I am looking down (looking towards my face)

Hope you have enjoyed my pictures of my hair.

Your hair is coming along nicely. :-) Looks like it is going to be very wavy. Do you have issues with lots of tangles?
I don't have as much issues with tangles. Usually, my comb breaks through any minor tingles that I get in my hair. My hair is less likely to be tangled when I get all the dead strands out. Anyway, thanks for the statement.

Hi Regardless,Great Pics!!
Not bad at all for 20 short months as yours curls look awesome and the longer you grow your hair out the better they will be.Just be sure to avoid future trims as that will only set you back again from achieving longhair faster.Other than that you are on your way to a fantastic mane:)Oh yes and I kind of like this pic of the bunch.
Mark
Thanks Mark. I can't wait for my fantastic mane. I will try to avoid further trims, which I am having an easy time with.

Looks great so far, curls look good and healthy. It will only get better and better as months go on. Take care.

Very nice update Regardless and your hair is looking terrific and right about on target for the 20 month mark. I am sure it is growing despite the heat which I hope was not as bad up your way in Seattle as it has been down here near Portland. (Worst and most unusual heat wave I can ever remember.) Tonight at long last things are cooling off.
You will be amazed now that you are nearing the 2 year mark at how all will start to fall in place so well as if overnight. Then, (and this is rarely spoken of), there seems between year 2 and 3 to be still yet another kind of Awkward Stage, a last final attempt let's call it of the hair trying to fight gravity. After that period has past, all is a piece of cake.
Best of luck to you as you let your hair continue to grow on its own.

Thanks Justin. I actually thrive in heat. I am sensitive to cold weather, especially sub-freezing temperatures. I hope that my hair will pass my shoulders by the end of the year.

Hey Regardless, very nice update. Your hair is coming along rather nicely...I like all that thickness and waves...some people have all the lucky genetics! Great job and congrats.
Cheers,

Hi Regardless,
What an outstanding update, and you are blessed with the most amazing thick and healthy curls. Although growing curly hair can be frustrating at times, the rewards are WELL worth it!
Keep it growing,
David
Yes, I actually do like the curls after all, and I like seeing other guys with long wavy or curly hair.

Your hair is looking better with each passing day, Matthew. The next year of growth should be interesting. Happy growing.
Scott
In a year, my hair should be one quarter to third my way down my back. It will be past my shoulders for sure.

Hey Regardless,
Your hair is coming on great. It reminds me a bit of my hair when I started growing it. I'd say, looking at those pictures, that you are just about over the hump and now your hair will start to head for the floor. Nice update.
Keep it growing!
Neil
Thanks Neil. By the way, you have very curly hair, and I understand how hard it can be when you are starting to grow it out. My hair is more on the wavy side, but it was a bit of a mess at times during the earlier stages of growing it out. On the other hand, long wavy or curly hair is attractive towards me. I plan on having mid-back hair.

Great update, As usual! The hair is coming along nicely Regardless. The waves and volume it has make it look great. Also congrats on the tail. Small one but a tail nevertheless. Sorry to hear about the weather, I know how harsh the heat can be. Trust me, I live in Florida. It's hot and muggy all year long. Speaking of bad weather, we've got a tropical storm heading straight for us! Can't get any worse than that. Well, congrats on the progress and thanks for sharing another awesome update with us. Keep it growing!
Thanks Chris. I am looking forward for a complete tail. As for the weather, I thrive in very hot weather. I do not like freezing weather however. I do like your curls too.

Looks great!:) You're starting to get some good length, as for myself i'm in my 16th month of growth now in august.
Take care!
Simon
Nice update Matthew. Your hair looks healthy and long! I'd say it's time for a new avatar. Congrats!
Bruce
Thanks Scooper. I agree about the avatar. I am ready to change it. My current avatar goes back to May.

You've made great progress, it's a huge difference from your avatar picture. Once curly and wavy hair has grown out it's very nice.
Thanks Vincent. My hair is going to have a lot of waves in it when it is fully grown out.

You've made a very good start, and you appear to have made it through most of the "awkward" stage without losing too much of your sanity [grin].
Thanks JSFrodo. Once I put all my hair in a ponytail, I will pretty much be out of the awkward stage. At least the worst part is over.
