Hey Guys and Gals. This week I celebrate my 5th year of growing my hair out. It's been a fun journey and I'm really enjoying the present length. Here's a couple of hair raising pictures to document this momentous occasion.
Your friend in hairiness.
Del
Just checking to see if my hair smells terrific. I must say that it does.
This is my mysterious pose.
Just getting ready to mow the lawn.
Yet another tail shot.
Getting ready to play baseball.
Ready to go to the gym. Just another day in the life of a long hair.
For those of you who liked me with the goatee that I had as Fagin in "Oliver," here are a couple of shots before I shaved it off. It will probably resurface someday.
This one looks like I have a full beard. Go figure.
Hey Del, you look GREAT with a beard...you should consider growing it back sometime.
Cheers,
Max
Awesome look Del! The beard looks fantastic even
if it is just a goatee! Definitely a keeper!
peace, jonalbear
Btw, most people think my avatar features a goatee when in fact it is a full beard. It's just in the way the hair lays!
peace, jonalbear
Hey Jonalbear. Well, the beard/goatee look seems to be very popular with people on this board. Maybe I'll be growing it back sooner rather than later. Thanks for the compliments.
Del
Hey Regardless. Thanks for the compliments. My hair is really wavy. Good Luck in your hair goals. If you let your hair grow without cutting it for 5 years, yours will probably be longer than mine.
Del
hair is great Del! thats some awesome texture and waves i must say congrads on a great head of hair! :)
Hey Mark. Thanks for the compliments. Keep your hair growing. I look forward to seeing your hair as long as mine someday.
Del
Haha, very nice, you remind me of James Hetfield from Metallica when his long hair was in the mid 80's I would say...great hair!
Patrick_R
Hey Patrick. Metallica is an awesome band and James did have some great hair in the 80's-early 90's. I wonder what his hair looks like today. Thanks for the compliments.
Del
Well James cut his hair in 1996, and still has short hair to this day :(, regardless still a great band
Patrick_R
Awesome hair, and nice physique too!
Thanks man. The physique takes a lot more work than the hair does. I work out about an hour and a half - 5 days a week and the hair only has to get washed every other day in about 15 minutes. I've been working out a lot longer than I've been growing my hair. But, both are fun and you just have to stick with it. Eventually, the muscles get bigger and the hair gets longer.
Del
Del,
You hair looks awesome! The goatee / beard looks works well for you.
Thanks for the compliments man. I liked the goatee a lot, and I'm sure I'll grow it back soon. I had a moustashe for a long time, so I'm always changing my look.
Del
Your mane is gorgeous, Del. I see it reaches your waist now, which is a worthy achievement in 5 years. I have estimated that you are about 6 feet tall. The taller you are, the longer your hair has to be to reach waist length. Keep growing it for sure.
Scott
Hey Scott. I guess that I can now join the waist length club. You are exactly correct, I am six feet tall! Thanks for the compliments and I hope that your shedding problem has resolved itself. It seems like a lot of guys on this board are complaining about shedding recently. I'll probably never reach the length that you have, so you'll always be an inspiration to me.
Del
Hi Del,
What a fabulous update, and you always have the coolest ways of displaying your mane. Your hair is looking awesome these days, so be sure to keep it growing!
Keep it growing,
David
Hi David. Thanks for the compliments about my mane (oh, how I love that word - especially the longer my hair gets). Mane sounds so much cooler that just saying nice hair. Having long hair is really a lot of fun and I must say that your mane is really looking great these days.
Del
Great update. Hair is looking awesome as always. I like the goatee look better though.
Thanks dude. I like that goatee a lot also and I'm sure that it will resurface again soon. Maybe I'll grow a fu man chu or real long side burns next. Who knows?
Del
Great hair update Del and looing good after 5 years!
Cheers,
John.B
Hi John. Thanks and I hope that all is well in merry old England. The pictures from the concert at Wacken were great and your hair looked awesome in the pictures. It would feel a little strange to be in a place where so many guys have long hair. I'm usually in the minority.
I've been to England six times and I love it (especially the theatre). I hope to get back there in the next couple of years.
del
Hey Del,
Thats some very awesome hair, very good length for 5 years of growth. It's in great condition too. Keep it growing!
Neil
Hey Neil. Thanks for the compliments. I'm happy with the growth I've had in 5 years and hope to get to belt or maybe butt length someday. Who knows what the next 5 years will bring.
Del
I think that you should grow that lovely beard back! You look much betetr with beard! And your hair is beautiful, of course. The beard gives it a 'finishing touch'. Hah.
Hi! When I grow the goatee back I'll be sure to post a picture for you. The long hair never gets cut, but the facial hair comes and goes. Thanks for the compliments.
Del
Hey Del, congrats on your 5 years! Those are super pics and your hair certainly looks wonderful. Wish I had all that body and fullness... :-( You are a great inspiration and thanks for sharing all those cool pics. Your physique is looking mighty fine as well. Keep up the good work!
Cheers,
max
Hey Max. I'm glad that you liked the pictures and thanks for the compliments. Considering what great shape you are in, I take it as a real compliment regarding my physique. The hair certainly takes less work than keeping in good physical shape. Keep the hair growing and I look forward to you hitting the 5 year mark.
Del
That is an impressive update and your hair looks fantastic !
Thanks for sharing
Walter
Hey Walter. Thanks. I'm glad you liked the update. 5 years of hair growth and still going strong. I think belt or butt length will be the limit for me, if it grows that long. But, who knows what the future will bring.
Del
Lookin' good Mr. Del. Congrats, 5 YEARS!!
Bruce
Hey Bruce. Thanks a lot for the compliment. 5 years and still growing. I'm looking forward to your 5th year hair anniversary. Maybe Hallmark should make hair anniversary cards. They would sell a lot to the people on this site. They could even make musical cards that play heavy metal songs.
Del
Hi del,
your hair looks superb, I love the length and the colour and it's in best condition. Congratulations for your five year update!
I especially like the second picture.
Good luck for the coming long haired years and your job as an artist.
At the moment I slightly prefer the cleanshaven look, as you have a very nice and unique face indeed, but the goatee suits you very well, too. I would just vary that at times. I will probably never make final decisions about facial hair...but certainly about head hair which I support to be long.
Keep it growing!
Cheers,
Herb2992
Hey Herb. Thanks for the compliments. I plan to keep my hair growing for a long time and the facial hair will come and go. I like to experiment with different looks, but the long hair won't be changing.
Del
Congrats on 5 years Del, a great hair anniversary.
Kevin
Hey Kevin. 5 years down and many more to go. It will be interesting to see if I can reach belt length, but if not, I'm happy with the length I have now. How many years have you been growing your hair?
Del
I recall saying in a post since 1994, but actually it was mid 93 as my memory came back the other day. So 15 years.
Kevin
Hey Kevin. So if you have been growing your hair for 15 years, it should be about 7 1/2 feet long by now! I guess that you have had a few trims or that you are hiding it somewhere.
Del
No trims since the late 90's, I'm at terminal length.
We can't all have hair down to our ankles. (grin)
Kevin
Hi Del.Hey every time I go away on a trip I seem to miss your update posts!LOL.Go figure.Anyway at least your thread hasn't dipped too far down the board so I was able to catch it:)Anyway ...WOW.... what a fantastic mane you have at this stage.Also I very much thought you facial hair in the latter pictures looked quite stunning.It compliments your mane very well.You should consider regrowing it but I know thats up to you.Anyway as usual you always post very inspirational pics for the longhaired guy.Your ARE a role model:)Take care Del and please do keep in touch.Your friend...
Hairball Mark:)
Hey Mark. I hope that you had a great weekend trip and thanks for the compliments. The New Jersey Long hairs are going strong - step aside California. Talk to you soon.
Del
A very hairy, good looking dude! You really take care of your mane, and it shows. And the personality of the pictures is awesome.
Mouse
Hey Mouse. You just made me blush. Thanks a lot and I hope that your hair journey is going well. Hope your cats are doing well (I remember from a previous post that you have cats). My cats are in top form these days.
Del
Thanks for asking, Del. They're in top form, though they work hard to make me believe that they don't exercise...
Cool set of pictures, it shows your hair well.
Hey Vincent. Thanks a lot. I'm glad that you liked the pictures. When you have got long hair, you might as well find interesting ways to show it off. People have such strong feelings about men with long hair positive and negative, so I just want everyone to know that I love and enjoy long hair. I hope my pictures show that.
