Hey all. This is around 4 years (I never really tracked it...)with several trims along the way, the last being in December '07. I trimmed alot early on to look somewhat respectable at work ; )
Pic is taken outside of The House of Blues prior to seeing My Morning Jacket a couple of weeks back...
Welcome to the board.
Your hair could have been longer, but curly hair takes longer to grow out and the trimming in the beginning took some lenght.
The most important part is that you got through the akward stage and got some amazing hair.
How long do you plan to grow it?
Thanks Vincent. I've actually posted on here a few times over the years, but mainly lurked for advice during the first year or so. I'm sure it could be to my waist easily by now w/no trims, but reaches lower back now when pulled straight (the curls take alot of "length").
I don't have any plans to cut yet, although it dreds very easily and I'm tempted to just let it lock up somedays ; )
I've only been here for 6 months, so I didn't know you.
In that case good to have you back to show us your progress.
Thanks again - btw, enjoyed your recent milestone pics!
If I had your hair, I would be tempted to let it lock up too.. :)
You would have some awesome natties if you ever decided to leave it alone..! Nice update, btw..
lol...thanks for the compliment. I spent way too much time pulling them apart a few weekends ago!
Taken the same day...
friction, Wonderful color and curl. Looks great! Congrats on achieving the 4 year mark. More photos and updates to come I hope.
peace, jonalbear
Thank you sir! lol...you can't see it, but some of the "color" is now grey ; )
Thanks again.
Looks great....that is a great length in a short time, especially for curls....
Thanks for Sharing....hope we see more of you.

Thanks Walter. It sure could be longer, but I had to do what I had to do (trim) : )
Gotta say those curls are looking great! They seem to really suit the rest of your appearance. Congrats on a great mane of hair :)
Thank you! They can be such a PITA that sometimes they are extremely frustrating, but I still enjoy the curls (at least when they aren't a locked, tangled mess of knots).
Thanks again.
Looks like you are managing better than I did...I had to use too much goop to keep my hair tame at that length!
As an aside, I've noticed that after I wear my hair in a bun all day at work, letting it down reveals a much longer, neater look. Carefull of it locking up from the bun though!
Looking nice!!!
Thanks for the update!

Awesome to hear from you Oren. I think we started growing about the same time but I trimmed along the way...anyway, would love to see an update from you!
Very cool Friction, thats what we like - wild and free, yours looks like it wants to naturally dread, as does mine, personally I love that.
Cheers bro'

Indeed - love your hair btw. Mine knots and dreads way to easy, especially after it has been twisted in a tight bun for work. I've been tempted to just let it go recently, but still haven't committed : )
Very nice hair Friction...looks really good! Makes me think perhaps I should get a trim soon to even things out a bit. Congrats on your achievement.
Max
Thank you for the compliment. I somewhat regret the trims (most were to the back), but it got me through the awkward stage a bit more easily at work.
Thanks again. : )
Your hair looks fabulous Friction and who says longhair isn't respectable.LOL.Any company worth its salt should hire you in a heartbeat especially with such lovely hair:)
Mark
Thank you for the kind words! I had a bit of a 'fro whilst growing out (I'm a manager), so I slicked it down and kept the back trimmed.
Thanks again!
nice update man. I like the wild natural look you have going on. Looks great!
Thanks man. I was feeling a bit wild that night, so prett apt description : )
Hi friction. You do look good with the waves in your hair. Even with the trims, your hair is still good length. Just don't lose your hair.
Regardless
lol, I'm not losing it just yet (it is slowly turning grey though). Thanks for the compliment - btw, I think our hair is similar in texture.
Your hair is looking great. The trims mean less length, but your hair is of high quality. As a result, you probably suffer fewer tangles than most of us here. Looking good.
Scott
Thank you Scott - That means alot coming from the master : )
Unfortunately I suffer terrible tangling anyway, but I've just learned not to fight it much. It honestly isn't worth hours/week to detangle for me anymore as it really doesn't affect the appearance all that much.
Thanks again : )
Hi friction,
What a great update, and you are blessed with fantastic natural curls. Be sure to keep it growing!
Take care,
David
Thanks so much David - I always enjoy your updates! : )
Looks fantastic friction! Hope it was a good show!
Bruce
Thanks! And yeah, it was a great show! : )
Congratulations, friction. Great head of hair! Keep it growin' and flowin'.
TLH
Thank you kind sir!
Another 4 yearer! Hey friction the locks look very cool, very long and the facial hair looks great with the hair.
Looks like you were enjoying yourself, a great update
Congratulations on about 4 years and heres to more ahead :)
Thanks so much - I do the facial hair once or twice a year and give up on it due to the annoyance. : )
Thanks again.
Hey your hair looks great! Scary, you look a bit like me LOL House of Blues! Cool Where at. I have been to a few around the country, always had a good time where ever too. Take care and keep up the great work!
Condolences that we look alike : )
