Hi guys,
I am still growing out my hair but haven't been able to keep up with the board this year due to my stubborn health problems. Despite them I have become a longhair again (in my definition anyway!) since I am just now barely able to keep most of my hair in a tail again.
I hope everyone is well, I missed hanging out here :)
Hey Mark (Hairball), I am very sorry to read about your mom. My deepest condolences for you and your family.
Any, on to the pics.

I really did become a longhair again :)
What a long strange trip it's been!
Hey,nice ponytail,man! Looks good.
Thanks so much for the compliment, I appreciate it.
And let me also express my condolences on the loss of your father last month.
I really like the look you have going too, the hair color looks awesome on you hope it doesn't hurt your hair!
Nice to make your acquaintance :)
Chris !
How wonderful to hear from you and with a great update also !
I never thought you had left the Realm of Longhair, but there is absolutely no doubt now. I am glad to see the facial hair back......gives you that cute, "puppy dog" look !! Ha !
Lookin' good my Friend
Thanks for Sharing and Keep Well
Walter
Hey Walter glad to hear from you, thanks for all your kindness :)
As for the facial hair, there is a certain hair length where I really look better with the facial hair, or so my lady tells me. I think I agree, it also comes down on the ma'am comments LOL
Take care Walter!
Hey, glad to see you post again. I had been wondering what had happened to you. Anyway, looking great. I like the facial hair as well as the long stuff. Keep it growing.
Daniel
Hey thanks for the encouraging words Daniel, I appreciate them. I am away from this board more than I would like, but one of these days I'll make it stick here LOL
Nice to see you posting, sorry to hear you are still plagued with help problems. I'm almost 3 weeks post surgery (and it ened up being less invasive than originally planned). Saw surgeon last Monday, all went well, iron levels are close to normal. I'm slowly regaining lost energy. I have yet to do an update, though I am creeping past mid-back.
Glad to see the facial hair, I always thought you looked good with the long hair/facial hair combo. It's so you! I hope you stick with the long hair this time around.
Hi Carol, I am glad that your surgery went well, I remember you mentioning that you were going to do so last time I posted in March or so. Sorry I just keep dropping out, an unfortunate effect of being so ill.
Thanks for the kind words I always appreciate them, I plan on keeping the hair, but the best way to do that is to keep my health up as they both seem inextricably linked. If you send me some of your illness-resistant good mood I will send you some of my iron :)
Take care Carol
wow Chris your hair looks awesome dude! glad to see your hair back and see you posting again I missed ya brother again glad to have you back! keep that mane growing for sure Chris :)
Hey Mark thanks for the compliment, its good to have a bit of hair again LOL
See ya around and I hope you and the rest of your clan are doing well :)
Hey Chris, congratulations & cool hair; I'm jealous.
lotsa stuff going on here too; I know I need to come up with a new photo.
Rob
Hey Rob you have no need to be jealous you have great hair!
I'm looking forward to an update, can't wait to see the results of your hard work.
Take care and see ya around :)
Hey Chris,its sooooo good to see you back here once again and I thank you very much for your condolences about my mom.
Your new pics look fantastic as you can regrow your hair anytime and its still awesome:)Hopefully its to your liking so far as personally you look good with longhair and I'm not just saying that because this is the mlhh.You REALLY do look nice.Anyway I'm glad to see you still around but sad that you are still having health issues.I wish you only the very best my friend:)
Mark
Hi Mark, thanks so much for the kind words and all the encouragement you always give. It is kind of weird growing out again, sort of like a several years long deja vu LOL
I supected even before I cut my long hair the last time that I was letting my mood from being ill affect my attitude about my hair. The better I feel the more enthusiastic I am about everything (including long hair), and vice versa. Well on the MLHH I had at the time given out my advice to those who wondered whether they wanted to really cut it off or not. I always told them to go ahead and cut it off and then see how they felt. Either they would be happy and stay happy with short hair or they would regret it. If it is regret then they can grow it out again certain they are true longhairs. Well I did follow my own advice and walked the walk!
Thanks again and I look forward to talking to you more.
Take care Mark
Welcome back Chris! I am truely impressed by your progress. Lookin' good!
I do hope you are feeling better these days and that worst is behind you. Take care.
Bruce
Hey thanks Bruce I appreciate the kind words and encouragement. I keep hoping that one of these times I will continue posting here. Usually it only seems to last a week or so, but optimistically I never cease trying!
I hope all is well with you, take care
Hi Chris. At least you are coming back. Having relatively straight hair means you can quickly grow it out (my hair is curly by contrast; I have been growing it out for twice as long, yet it is 'only' at your length).
What kind of health issues have you gone through? In case you had not seen my May update, I had fallen over and smashed two of my front teeth. I had crowns placed on them, and one of my teeth necessitated a root canal, as you can see through this link:
http://www.mlhh.org/archive/?256482
Had you had one (or more)?
Matthew
Hi Matt
I saw your last update, one with lots of pics after you had your crowns. You have fantastic hair Matt, I would rather have really cool thick wavy hair like you do at any length than mine even longer. For me texture is more interesting than mere inches LOL. Great update pics your patience has paid off and your hair is awesome, so enjoy.
I have had one root canal and a crown as a result of a bicycling accident many years ago, I hit a patch of wet leaves and went down into the asphalt. Lucky only one tooth, your two teeth broken that was nasty! My sympathies, I hope that it doesnt bother you now. You look great, yeah modern dentistry :)
As for my health I am still fighting an infection that is called candida and it has damaged my stomach and intestines. Still struggling with it, eventually I will get it right!
Take care of yourself Matt
High!
...and the moustache is back again! Good work! How long do you plan to grow?
See you in Khyberspace!
Yadgar
Hey Swamp Gypsy! Looks like your beard is gone, your new update looks great. I guess "Taliban" isn't a chic look LOL
Thanks for the encouragement Yadgar I have no idea how long I will grow right now, just see what happens.
Take care
-----------------------------------------------
Your hair is gorgeous, Chris. Hopefully you will be able to grow it really long this time around. Best wishes.
Scott
Hi Scott I hope things are going well for you my friend. Thanks for the encouragement I appreciate it. I'm still fighting the good fight!
Hi Chris,
You're definitely a longhair again in my book! Your hair has regrown beautifully. Congrats on reaching the ponytail stage again.
I'm sorry to hear that your health problems have continued. I'm hoping for better news in the coming months.
Take care,
Jason
Hey Jason, thanks for the kind encouragement. Here's hoping I can keep better health and longer hair!
Well I never knew what a born longhair was before I came to the MLHH and wasn't sure I was one before now, but I guess anybody who has the patience to grow hair out twice must be one LOL
Thanks for being such a grand inspirational hair god :)
Take care Jason
Chris, Looking great! Good to see your hair long again!
here's a recent one of me.
peace. jonalbear
Hey thanks for the kind encouragement jonalbear, your latest picture is fantastic, you have progressed so far. Quite a lot to be proud of.
Take care
Wow,loving your hair! It sure grew a lot! We both are straight-haired heads. :D Keep growing!
Thanks Andrea, I really loved the look of your hair, cool coloring you did there. Straight hair is OK but sometimes I really wish for some interesting waves and texture. Grass is always greener...LOL
take care Andrea :)
Hi Chris,
Greetings from sunny Glasgow!
Thanks for the update and great to see you growing your hair out again and looks wonderful.
Cheers,
John.B
Hey John, good to hear from you, Glasgow sounds like a great place to visit. Are you on a photo shoot or just vacationing?
Thanks for the encouragement my friend it means a lot to me
Have fun and safe travel home!
Hi Chris,
I am delighted to see you posting again, and you have made amazing progress for only 15 months of growing. Congratulations on the ponytail!
Of course I am sorry to hear that you have still not been in the best of health, and you can be assured that you are in my thoughts that you will feel much better in the days ahead.
Take care,
David
Hi David
It's great to hear from you again, I hope all is well with you my friend. Thanks so much for your encouragement hair and otherwise!
Take care David
Hi Chris:
It's so good to hear from you and see your new longhairedness once again emerging. I hope you are continuing to improve and will be back to where you can join the ranks here online in good time.
Matt B.
Hey Matt,
Thanks so much for your kind words and encouragement, it does appear that I must be a longhair at heart, cause I ended up here again after all. I would think it crazy to do this again but it seemed to happen so naturally :)
I do hope to be online more as I make headway against the tide.
Take care Matt and I hope all is well with you.
Hi Chris,
Good to hear from you and that your still growing. I sympathize with you having nagging health issues and hope you'll be doing better soon.
Your hair looks good and soon you'll be back to where you had it.
Keep in touch
Kevin
Hey Kevin,
Thanks for the kind encouragement, I appreciate it. It is frustrating doing the whole growing thing again but this will teach me to doubt my inner longhair :)
I guess long hair is my natural state after all (duh LOL!)
Congratz on reaching the full ponytail, I reached that stage myself a short while ago and am very happy with it.
Your hair looks good, keep it growing
Thanks so much Vincent, and congratulations on reaching your milestone as well. This time around I am infinitely more laid back about growing it out, now that it is easier to manage LOL.
Take care Vincent :)
It seems like only yesterday that you had hair like that Chris!
Great to hear from you, thats some amazing growth since the last update.
Hope life is on the up for you, take care mate
~ Dave
Hey Dave, thanks a lot for the kind words. I hope things are going well for you.
Take care :)
Well hey Cris! I was hoping you hadn't jumped ship, lol.
Glad to see you back and your hair is looking great!
Paul
Nah I am still growing despite not posting here lately. Thanks for the encouragement Paul I appreciate it. I hope all is well with you.
Take care
Chris, your picture looks fantastic. Comparing it with your avatar, you wouldn't know that the two pictures weren't taken a month apart (to account for the beard.)
I hope you are feeling better soon.
Chris
Thanks a lot for the kind words Chris I appreciate them. I hope all is well for with you,
Take care
That's a pretty quick turnaround. Looks longer now than when I left DC.
Actually seemed a long time to me. Probably bcause I didn't cut it all of at once and took all the way from December 2007 to March of 2008 cutting it back in stages and never finding myself happy with any of them.
I confirmed what I suspected then that no hair length would be satisfactory until I fixed what was really making me unhapy. When I find the solution the hair problem takes care of itself. I seemed content enought to let it grow out while working on curing myself and I am hoping my old enthusiasm returns from years ago.
Hey Steve, I hope all is well with you and the California lifestyle is treating you right. How could it not LOL
Take care
