So I've finally reached 18 months on October 1st 2008. My goal was to achieve a tail by the end of October.
18 Months ago I was almost bald and I'm amazed at my progress so far.
My hair can now go Into a full tail as even the bangs reach the back (barely fall out sometimes... needs a good half inch to one inch to be fully secured)
I can also tie it back very loosely now! No more tight tails :D.
Still not shoulder length (back is) but at this progress it's not long before I get there! :D
Anyway here are some pics... I'm not trimming to even out the hair until the bangs reach past the shoulders.
This one's a month old but it's the only one I have with my hair down at the moment... heh:
I was looking forward to your update, as our hair is very similar (straight on top and wavy in the end). Only 5 more months till I've got the same lenght as you now, and I can make a full tail.
It suits you very well and is in good condition. Now you've got the full tail, growing it very long will be easy.
Thanks a lot... Yeah I've been able to tie it since Feb... But never fully like now.
It's starting to straighten out a lot more now as it's longer and the weight is pulling it down.
Next goal is shoulder length bangs.
Good luck with yours too! :D
Cool Alan. Your hair is coming along nicely, and your ponytail is getting close to being stable (meaning none of your hair will fall out). That is a great progress from being bald 18 months ago. Keep it growing. As for trims, waiting is a good idea; I would wait till I reach my desired length before thinking of a trim.
Regardless
Thanks a lot! Yeah I'm happy I've gotten this far for 18 months :D
congrads on another milestone man! one and a half years is certaintly a long time go grow from bald and does it ever look good! im at about 19 months and the ponytail suitation is the same for me as well bro some of my front bangs wont quite go in yet bu tim almost there as you are , I would say around the 2 year mark the full tail shall stay in fully without any problems def keep that mane growing dude \m/
Hi Alan,
Great update for 18 months and keep it growing mate :-)

Cheers,

Haha sorry about that! I thought that they would get re sized this time but I forgot to...
Thanks a lot. :D
Wow... I hope i'll be able to pull up a decent ponytail at 18 months!
Great hair...keep it up. I love the colour especially!!
Hi Alan,
What an outstanding update, and you are blessed with thick and healthy hair, and great progress for only 1.5 years. Congratulations on the full ponytail, and be sure to keep it growing!
Keep it growing,
David
That is great hair! I am in the process of growing mine out from a number 4 buzz cut. I would really like to have mine like yours in next 18 months! Same color as mine. I run 7 miles a day and I am hoping with hair that long it wont be too hard to handle. Anyways, congrats on keeping with a goal and achieving it!
Hopefully by end of next summer I'll have decent pony tail.
I forgot to ask. Can you re-post your head when you began the hair growth journey?
Sure:
Cut on April 1st 2007.
Wow. That is great growth for 18 months. It looks well-wuited to you and I am glad for your continuing success at reaching your goals.

Awsome progress !!
I also like the lip piercings, kinda cool and the longish nails...you keep them that length?
Thanks a lot...
Yes I do... I play guitar so it helps. :)
Absolutely astounding for 18 months considering where you started from. Great job.
Applause and standing ovation!
Alan, you have great hair, healthy, thick and LONG! Clearly it grows fast. I'm about two months behind you. You inspire all of us growers here. Thanks for posting your update.
Cheers!
Hey Alan, great update and your hair looks super after just 18 months! Congrats on your milestone and it will only get better from here. Long hair really suits you and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Keep it growing!!!
Cheers,
Max
Really stunning ! Nice tail ;)
The next time, could you please reduce the pictures size, please ? I have a small monitor...
Bye
Vivien
So sorry about that! I thought it would re size them but I forgot to select that option.
Hi Alan,
Not bad at all for just 18 months and just think the best is yet to come!Just be patient as from now on it should be much easier growing your hair as you leave the awkward stage.Great pics BTW.

Excellent update Alan your hair looks in great shape and the
colour is awesome. I noticed your missing a piercing did you
loose the chin piercing? Was it getting on your nerves or did
work make you do it?
Kevin
Thanks a lot!
Oh and no the piercing is still there... I lost the tip of it and I have hair on top of the piercing so it covers it haha.
Great update, Alan. Looks like you're well on your way :-) Keep it growing man.
Sup Alan!?Been sometime u hadn't posted eh?Your hair looks awesome,and so does the tail and the piercings in the lips.Congratz on such great achievement,and may luck be with you in further growing.Stay heavy =).
Coming along really well there Alan, thats a good length for 18months, I remember from this point onwards changes happen so quickly and you feel like a true longhair.
Rock on bro'
Cheers Dave
Very nice!!
It's progress pics like yours that help keep me going. I'm at about 11 months growing and still feeling awkward, although less so than 3 months ago. Seeing how good your hair looks at 18 months helps ease the waiting, somehow.
Wow, you really have made wonderful progress and your hair looks so healthy. Congratulations! :)
Hey Alan,
Looks great, man.
Take care and keep it growin'!
