At my 30 year class reunion, I was given an award for longest hair!!! Pretty freakin' awesome. Later a classmate pulled me aside and told me he grew his hair down to his lower back. "I got pictures of it," he said to me. It was obvious that he liked having it long, but I think he cut it because of work. Such a shame too, because he had really nice blond hair!
Anyway, I had a good time. I think that wearing my hair down instead of tying it back into a ponytail helped me win!!! I also was surprised by the number of compliments that I got!
Take care and keep it growin', y'all!

That’s awesome to hear! Lucky they had an award for that. Hmmm I wonder if I shall ever win one (I intend to haha).
Great hair by the way. And congrats.
Thanx for the comments, Esoterik! My advice to you is to wear it down and be proud! That definitely convinced my classmates to create that category!
Take care & keep it growin', y'all!!!

Hi Brett,
Congratulations on winning that award, and what is even cooler is that they gave out that award to begin with, and you got all those nice compliments! That makes the journey to long hair that much more rewarding.
Keep it growing,
David
You hit the nail on the head, David! The award and me getting my hair caught in the door of a friend's car have been excellent milestones my longhair odyssey!
Thanx for the comments, my friend!
Brett
Congratulations and Well Done !!
Thanx, WT!
I couldn't have done it without the encouragement of members like you. If I was thinking, I should have thanked the MLHH publicly! I'll make up for that on my 40th!
Take care,
Brett
lol thats so awesome dude i hope that can happen to me at mine! :) even though i only been out for 3 years haha
Don't worry, Mark...your 30th will be here sooner than you think!!!
Take care,
Brett
Good for you Brett. Most of the old class probably had balding heads, I bet there was a few jealous looks.

Thanks, Dave. Yes, there was many a comment along the lines of "at least you have hair."
Take care and keep it growin' for the class of '78
Brett
That's pretty cool :D
Hmmm, my 30th is coming up in a few years...
Awesome you won that award :)
Thanks, Vincent,
I was really surprised. All in all it was a grand time! What surprised me is the number of compliments I got.
Take care and keep it growin'!

Growing my hair out again!
Great job and so glad you won the award! People are just so strange: when growing out the hair guys hear the jeers, but once it's grown long they hear the cheers!
Congrats on your award. Usually in the yearbook they vote on who's most likely to succeed. In yours it should have been who's most likely to grow an awesome mane. Ha!
Glad you had a good time as those things can be a drag.

Thanx, Kevin.
Florida had a decent number of longhairs in school from the mid to late 70's. I remember 4 guys who had mid-back hair in 8th and 9th grade! Most of the guys who had hair longer than shoulder length cut it for the senior pics, unfortunately. My parents never allowed me to have it, so mine never got much longer than the ears.
Take care and keep it growin'!
