new thread
Hey all,
I apologize for not being as active as I once was on the board. I've been quite busy between starting a new job a few months back as a systems support analyst (which I'm loving) and going to school FT. It's been a busy couple of months. I've always kept up on reading everyone's posts and posting here and there so I'm not that far behind. As some of you know, I had shoulderblade length hair until last November when I cut it to shoulder length, then cut again in January of 2008 into layers @ above chin length.
Fortunately my hair grows incredibly fast and I'm nearly back to where I was. The photos below were taken on a wash day which means A) my hair is poofier than usual and B) it looks less managed and conditioned as the oil hasn't yet done it's job. When it settles the next day it actually appears to be longer as I brush some of the waves out and it flattens a bit. The camera I used has really crappy sharpness, but hopefully in about a week I'll have a new one ; )
Please ignore the incredibly freaky redeye effect that I can't seem to avoid in photos.
Here it is now...ahem, you may asume the lovely girl with the pink hair is NOT me ;)
Thanks for all of your support, hopefully I'll be able to snap some higher quality post wash-day photos soon.

I accidentaly posted my this like 5 times, SORRY!!! this is the correct one!
Thanks a lot Mark! I'm trying to take much better care of it these days and it's definately paying off. Good to hear from you man, stay metal.

Hi Paul, your hair is coming along nice. I should reach your length by summer of next year.
Regardless
Thanks Regardless, I'm definately pleased with the amount of growth I've achieved over this past year. Yea I'd say you'll definately be around my length by summer...I'm hoping to be at elbow length by then.
Take care,
-Phil
Burzum \m/ Looking good. Are you planning on keeping the layers, or evening it out as it gets longer?
Thanks Garth,
I've been in a Burzum mood lately probably due to the cold weather here in NJ heh. I've been listening to a lot of black metal lately.
Yea I'm actualyl gonna keep the layers, it actually looks awesome once I brush it out. Hopefully I'll get a new camera and post better quality photos of it brushed out.
I think once it's at waiste length, assuming I go that far, I'll 1-length it.
Take care Garth,

Welcome back Phil,
Looking nice - great photos!

Thanks a lot Oren! BTW your avatar photo is awesome. On top of your mane, you have a killer beard. I have sucky facial hair so I'm currently incapable of a good beard lol.

Hey Phil, your hair certainly does grow incredibly fast! Great update and your hair is looking mighty fine. Also very nice pics of you and your girlfriend...or what I should say...girl friend.
Cheers,
Max
Thanks Max! Yea I'm blessed with quick hair growth but cursed with mild MPB...can't have it all heh. Thanks for the kind words and the girl is indeed my girlfriend of 4 years. Take care Max, good to hear from you.

Very nice progress, Phil! Don't worry about the red eye... It happens to all of us amateur photographers. =D Keep it growing, stay well, and happy holidays.
-James
Looking good,Phil,your hair is in amazing condition!Stay well and have a happy hairy christmas!=)
Thanks Rafael,
I'm trying my best to keep it in good condition. I'll hopefully be able to take some better quality photos soon and on a post-wash day. You too man, have a very merry Christmas!
-Phil
Thanks a lot James! I'm glad to see your still here, your last cut looked great actually. That's kinda how I had mine before I started to grow it out again. Yea, blasted blue eyes! (and crappy camera). You too James, enjoy the holidays!
-Phil
Hi Phil, man that's some impressive growth! It looks good dude.
Merry Christmas to you and your Lady.
Frank
Thanks a lot Frank, I try lol. A very Merry Christmas to you and your family as well.

Hey, Phil. Congratulations on your job, school, hair, and pink girl friend. Don't be such a stranger to mlhh. Keep it growin' and flowin'.
TLH
Hahahaha thanks TLH. I'm very busy but very happy with all this stuff goin on. I'm glad to have finaly migrated over to IT in my company because they really don't seem to care about having long haired workers...not to mention my boss was a long-haired metal head in the 80s. I'm definatly gonna try to post more often again, though i always read the forum.
You too man!
-Phil
Hi Phil,
What a great update, and you are blessed with a fast growth rate, which is a good thing! Be sure to keep it growing!
Take care,
David
Hi David, thank you for the kind words. I suppose having a fast growth rate kinda compensates for my MPB as I'll be able to enjoy longer hair quicker (and hopefully b4 it goes away!) I'm clearly exaggerating but propecia is definately working well for me. Take care, David.
-Phil
Your hair looks good! The red eyes look spooky!
Thanks a lot Pat! Yea I'm Irish/Italian so I'm guessin my eyes reflect my pasty pale irish side lol. By the way you've acheived some FANTASTIC growth yourself. Your last post was excellent and I'm amazed at how long your tail is. Hopefully I'll be able to grow mine near your length.
Take care,
-Phil
Hey there Phil, great to hear from you dude, your hair is rockin', looking really cool mate. Love your friends hair too, cool looking lady. Have a great Christmas guys!!
~ Dave
Thanks very much Dave,
I'm planning on rockin it MUCH longer than the current length if nature allows it. Thanks, yea my friend whose going to school for hair/makeup dyed it for her and did an awesome job. I'm trying to get her to grow it longer too haha. Yes a very Merry Christmas to you and your family as well.
-Phil
Looks good Phil. Your hair looks to have a thick coarse texture to it.
Kevin
Thanks Kevin,
I appreciate the kind words. I think part of the coarse appearence it to be blamed by my crappy camera. It is somewhat thick, though it used ot be a lot thicker. the day after i was it, it usually settles down. Thanks again KEv,
-Phil
Your hair pwn man ! and with the metal shirt you are wearing it made it even cooler !
Thanks a lot Argale! the longer it gets, the cooler it will look (i figure heh). I appreciate the kind words!
