Hey guys,
Just thought I would send an update...
I wish I liked the way the long hair looked on me as much as I like having it. I just think I look better with it short. That said, I am planning to keep growing it for another year or two. The last two times I grew it long I cut it (for various reasons) and always regretted it.
Would love some feedback.
Thanks,
Robert
Lol are you kidding ?! It looks great on you ! And I'm not saying it just cause we're at longhair site...
Anyway, how long have you been growin' it ?
Hi Robert. At least you have some of your good hair back. How long have you been growing it out from your last cut? You should grow out your hair forever.

What's not to like Robert as I think your hair looks fantastic on you and its not even really long yet.I think you are selling yourself short on being a longhair as you are probably getting bad advice from the buzzcut crowd out there I would think.So put me in the "YES" column for you growing your hair long my friend:)Do keep us posted on your progress.Cheers

Hey Robert,
Your hair looks righteous. I'm at a loss as to why you don't think you wear it well. I'm gonna have to agree on the possibilty that you are being pressured by ''non-longhairs'' to get a buzz, so you can fit the ''norm.'' Don't do it!

Hi Robert,
Feeling a little fussy about your hair? It comes with the territory.
Nobody is 100% satisfied with their hair. I think your yours looks great.
If you stick with it a little while longer you'll probably start feeling more confident about it.
Oh... and nobody looks better with short hair.
Ok, maybe Bruce Willis but that's it.

Hey guys,
Thanks for all your positive feedback. I have been growing my hair now for about 18 months - thats about the time its been since I decided to go long again.
I added another pic so you could see I have more length in the back.
I think the difficulty is always tying it back during the week for work. And once you let it down--after being tied back all day-- its not necessarily as flattering as it is when it air dries fresh out of the shower. During the week its easy to forget how great it is when you don't have to pull it back.
Hey Robert.Thanks for the additional pic and I again say your hair is awesome!I guess we are our own worst critics but I certainly hope you keep growing your hair:)Give it a chance as you won't be disappointed,my friend,and you will get all the support you need right here.Just stay clear of all those buzz cut conventions!LOL

Ho Robert,
Growing it out unfettered for the next two years sounds like an excellent plan.
If the going gets rough, just stay away from the mirror and get busy with other things. We are our own worst critic. You will get past the "cut and regret" phase.
Keep those locks growing!

Not everyone has hair as good as your's and I think long hair makes everyone look better. But having long hair is different than being a longhair. Anyone can have long hair, then hack it off and be happy. A longhair can't do that and be happy. He (or she), rejoices in the feel, the sensation of long hair.
Remember, we are often our own worst critics.
Keep on growin'

I know exactly where you're coming from. I think I suit short hair much better than long, but at the end of the day, it's more about how you feel than how you look. The only times I don't like my hair are when I wake up being smothered by it and when it's cold and wet and slaps against my back after washing. Bear with it though. It's worth it and I certainly wouldn't be without it.
