About 55 months now.
Wow! Now that is hair to aspire to!
Hi Oren. Your hair looks great with the waves in it. Have you reached terminal, or are you still growing out your hair? Your length is probably going to be the longest I am planning to grow out my hair, by the way.
Matthew aka Regardless
Hi Matthew,
Thanks - my hair is still growing. My biggest problem is breakage and wear at the very ends where hairs are more than four years old. Got a few strands that are just past waist length.
Not too many split ends.
Looking forward to seeing what a couple of years of added growth looks like on you!
- Oren
Dear Oren,
You are blessed with an excellent head of hair there.
Thankyou for taking the trouble to show us your hair progress in the last 55 months.
I'm now nearly at 12 months hair growth without a hair cut and it is always inspirational for me to see how far someone else's hair has come in the time taken to grow it out.
Best,
Duncan
Thanks Duncan,
I hope all is well on the southern hemisphere for you.
I think you will look hot with the beard and a long mane!
- Oren
Owen,
Your mane and beard are both breathtaking. Looks awesome and great pictures!
Keep growing both!
Karsten
My favorite adjective so far in describing your hair, Oren, is from Karsten who said "breathtaking"! It really is extraordinary. And so that I'm not accused of playing favorites, I have to add that there are many other members who have magnificent manes. In fact, ALL members (and lurkers too) are to be honored for increasing the amount of hair on this planet! johnnie
Thanks Mark!
I enjoy your creative updates - they always inspire me! I love the "comet Karsten" picture.
- Oren
It looks good and the beard has bounced back nicely since the unfortunate incident.
Kevin
Thanks Kevin!
Yes the beard is re-growing nicely - and coming back better cared for than before.
Thanks for your great work on the moderating side.
- Oren
Hi Oren
Any tips for care of one's beard? Yours looks terrific.
Thanks, johnnie
Hi Oren,
First of all thanks for posting all those very cool pics of your hair and beard.It seems like forever since I remember such a comprehensive update by you.I can't get over how your beard hair looks almost identical in colour and texture to your head hair.Usually the beard hair has a different texture and in some cases its even gray!LOL.Anyway you look Great:)Also that group pic at Christmas is cool as it looks like Santa stopped by for the pic before going to work later.LOL.Thanks again Oren as you are an excellent example of why guys should grow out their hair.Take care my friend.
Mark
Thanks Mark!
My beard is actually a bit redder and much coarser than my head hair.
There is actually quite a variety of both color (brown, dark red, black and some silver and white) and texture (straight and curly) in the beard.
- Oren
Wow, that's stunning ! Thanks for the update, Oren :)
Thanks Vivien!
You're looking great, too!
- Oren
Hi Oren,
What a pleasant surprise to get an update from you, and welcome back to the hyperboard! Both your hair and beard are looking fabulous these days, and the colour is outstanding. Be sure to keep it growing!
Take care,
David
Hi David,
Thanks!
Yes, I've been busy offline more with my "analog" life lately.
I hope you have a chance to swing through Texas on your 2009 tour :-)
- Oren
Good to see you again! Great update!
Thanks George!
Your last update looked terrific!
- Oren
Fine lookin hair and beard Oren.
Frank
Thanks Frank!
- Oren
Nice! I bet you don't have any trouble keeping warm on cold days. You've got your head and neck well covered.
And I wonder... why are beard and head hair colors so often different?
Thanks Pat, and a fantastic head of hair you have too!
I seem to have a potluck of different colors and textures in my beard.
They say it's in our jeans - I've looked at all of my jeans while doing the laundry... I still don't get it... :^P
- Oren
Truly magnificent Oren! You have such a great color and thickness to go with it.
Thanks Jason,
Looking at your latest photos - I've gotta say that your mane is looking fantastic! It has taken a good long time to reach that point, and I'm sure it is an investment of your time and effort that you treasure!
- Oren
Looks awesome Oren! You and I started about the same time, and I always loved tracking your progress. I've had 3-4 trims, plus I had to cut out a massive dreadlock a few months ago, so it is cool to see where I *should" be (we have similar hair texture, as well).
Anyway, I can't honestly say people always look better w/long hair (including myself), but I love the look!
Thankyou sir friction!
You probably have less breakage at the extreme ends to deal with than I do.
- Oren
Oren, Fantastic beard, mustache and thick long hair.
Beautiful color! Thanks for sharing.
peace, jonalbear
Thanks John!
...and the journey continues.
Your hair and beard are simply fabulous,love the color too!Take care,Oren.
Thankyou kindly Rafael!
- Oren
Oren, I'm at a loss for words to describe how you look. Other members have accurately said "stunning", "great", "fantastic",
"fabulous", "beautiful", "awesome", "magnificent"....the list of adjectives goes on and on. You were destined to have long hair (as well as a gorgeous beard). Even if I had never contemplated the beauty of long hair on men, I would have to say that seeing yours would make me a believer! Your genetic gifts - color, thickness, texture, length - are at their best. Any hints on care or maintainance? Congratulations and thanks for sharing and inspiring. johnnie
Thanks for nice compliment Johnie!
I just use ordinary inexpensive shampoo and conditioner (currently Mane 'n' Tail) about 3x per week, and rinse with diluted apple cider vinegar which is good for the scalp and offsets the effects of hard water on hair.
- Oren
Wow man--this is a fantastic update!!! Great color and look
What is your goal? Would like to see more pictures.
Thanks Tony!
I growing both the beard and hair to terminal length.
- Oren
Hey Oren, wow...what a great look...the hair and the beard could not be better. Wish I could grow my beard out like that...All your pics are a testimonial to us baby longhairs to keep on persevering...so thanks. Hope your new year is off to a good start. Superior update!
Cheers,
Max
Thanks Max!
I hope your new year is well, too.
- Oren
That looks awesome. You look like Thor, which is an awesome look. I'm jealous of your beard growing ability.
Thanks Garth!
Yes - If you look on my workbench, you'll find not only Thor's hammer, but (little known to most) Thor's soldering iron. :^P
- Oren
Now that IS alot of hair. Looking good and I am so glad that the accident of many months ago has given you time to recover that beard. Yikes! Since hearing of that I refuse to Monkey-around a Barbeque! :-0
Hi Oren,
A truely amazing head of hair and a very thick beard to go with it and wonderful natural colours as well. Thanks for a great update.
Cheers,
John.B
Fantastic Oren, amazing mane and beautiful beard.
Great to hear from you and a wonderful update.
Regards ~ Dave
hey Oren,that is some nice fur you have there!

Awesome hair and your beard is one of the best I've ever seen!
Great looking hair man! I hope you're going to grow your beard to the same length!
How long between this update and your avatar?
Paul
Nice mane and face fur Oren! However, I'm "disappointed" to see that untrimmed 'stache under such good control. Take hair and grow, grow, grow:)
Awsome progress Oren

Your hair and beard look fantastic. Just lovely. Keep them growing for sure.
