Hello all,
Here's a photo showing 10 months since my last haircut. My hair was about an inch long then so this is more like 12 months total growth. My hair may look oily but it's just semi-wet from the shower.
Overall I like the long haired look much more than my old "shaggy" routine. Having straight hair really helps will the awkward stage since the only problem I really have to deal with is the "flip" in the back. Even then I don't mind it so much and actually have grown to like it. I can also reliably tuck my hair behind my ears so I don't have to deal with it in my face anymore. I'm definitely in it for the long haul.
Though it looks like I'm growing a beard too I'm not. I can't let it get much longer than it is due to safety issues when wearing a respirator at work (I do research with potentially harmful chemicals). If that changes I would like to grow one, though.
Last, and most important, thank you all for your support! It has really helped me stick through the tough times.

Silly me, I forgot to upload the picture.
Back view coming next.

Good update Dan, coming along nicely! Don't woory about the flip. As your hair lengthens, gravity will cure that.

Here's the back

Your hair looks great Dan! And I don't think it looks awkward at all. You and I have similar hair types I think. Mine is straight but wavy, and my ends curl up sometimes.
Great update, definitely keep growing.
Luke.
P.S. How long are you growing your hair?
Thanks Luke! I appreciate the approval. I'm glad at least someone besides me doesn't think it looks awkward, haha.
The growing will continue, as I'm most likely going for waist length!

Ah the flip... I remember it well. That was the part that made me doubt the growth, but stick with it. Very soon the flips will turn into waves and you'll do great.
Looks good on you. Enjoy your adventure and have a good one.

Thank you Charlie for your compliments.
I'm definitely sticking with it. Gravity will exert its weak force on my hair at some point!

Hi Dan! Your hair is looking great, congratulations! It's very straight and the colour is nice as well. How long are you planning to grow it? Mid back at least would look awesome, in my opinion. :)

Hi Andrea, thanks for the kind words!
I'm going for at least mid back length, most likely waist length.

Congratulations for 10 months down. Your hair seems alot like mine. Same goal length too.
Its the best for "quick" length since it doesnt have to spiral down.
Good lick with growing

Thanks Jarvis.
To be honest, when I saw your last update it was like looking into the future a few years. If it does look like yours then I'll be pretty happy!
