Hi guys and gals,
I just celebrated my 57th birthday this week and that also marked my fifth year(60 months)of growing the sides of my hair,leaving the mullet stage forever. Seeing it as an omen I quit going to the beauty shop I went to(5 yrs ago)after it blew up. That is a long strange story in itself involving arson, insurance fraud, reported suicide resulting in murder charges and alleged mental illness. All too complicated for me. I'm waiting for the movie version to come out. Anyway here's some recent photos.

Your hair is looking great!
I like that biker vest too.
ESDI-80, Thanks, That brown leather vest is one of my favorite things to wear!

Hi JonalBear!
Your hair is beautiful. Nice and thick of structure. What's your secret? ;-)
Anyway, congrats with your birthday! Hope you have eaten a nice birthday cake haha.
Peace
Hi Vincent,
Thank you. I think the secret is in the "genes" I wear. Both my mother and my mother's father had lustrous thick hair. Passed along to me I guess. My father was bald in his 20s. Go figure!

Looking great, both mane and beard!

There is looking great and such a wonderful change after 5 years and glad the place got torched.
Cheers,

Thanks John,
It was enough incentive for me to never get another haircut.
peace, John

Hey JB, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your two pics look fabulous as I would never know somewhere under all that hair lives a mullet!lol.I'm encouraged to see a man at 57 able to maintain such thick and healthy hair such as yours.BRAVO!You did the correct thing in leaving mulletdom and becoming a REAL longhair:)As for the salon......GOOD Riddance!To bad it wasn't a nuke so you could see it go up in a mushroom cloud.lol.Enjoy your day my friend.
Mark

Fresh from Jonalbear labs: Formula 57/60 hair growth tonic!
Happy 57th John! Looks just great - beautiful.
February 2008 was my 44/44 - 44 months of hair growth and my 44th birthday.
- Oren
Thanks Oren, It's a simple formula.
Just haven't cut it for 60 months and it happens to be my 57th birthday. So in my estimation you are looking at 46/68 for your next birthday.
peace, jonalbear
Happy belated birthday wishes Jonalbear!
Your hair and beard combo look superb and suit you very well indeed. Maybe the wierd stuff at the beauty salon was an omen, and you certainly have reaped the rewards!

Thanks Dave, I think your right on the mark!

The hair looks awesome Jonalbear. I didn't even notice you had a beard until I read some of the posts, it looks good too.
Peace to you too,
~Jarvis~
Thanks Jarvis, Have had some variety of beard since I got out of the Army 35 years ago.
peace, jonalbear
Well Happy Birthday JonalBear! Very cool pic!

Mark, Thanks for the compliments and birthday greetings Am quite pleased with how my hair is looking these days.
peace, John
Happy Birthday Jonalbear. 57? Awe........you're still just a kid. :-)
Hope you had a great day and your long hair is looking terrific!
Justin~
Thanks Justin, Really like the way my hair looks and feels nowadays. No, not quite as close to SSI as you are but not too far off. I must say you are one terrific looking sextagenarian!
peace, jonalbear
Hey thanks! :-) But really, if the truth be known, at any moment the facade will probably cave-in. LOL :-)
Justin~
Justin, Not to sound too pessimistic but yes I fear it will happen to all of us at some time. I liken it to the classic Bob Marley lyric. "Everyday I take the bucket to the well. Someday the bottoms gonna drop out!"
peace, jonalbear
Happy Birthday Jonalbear!
Another fine example of how longhair DOES make you look younger!
Bruce
Thank you very much Scooper! I think I feel younger too!
peace, jonalbear
Looking good John!
Thanks Charlie,
That's high praise indeed!
peace, jonalbear
Great looking hair man!
Nothing strange there. It is a Hair Salon. :-0
Paul
Thanks Paul,
Yes I forgot how weird hair salons can be! To think I use to go to them willingly. Yikes! Now that's scary!
peace, jonalbear
I'll bet the former site of that hair salon is haunted.
Some nights when a breeze is blowing, the sound of blow driers and maniac laughter can be heard. :-)
- Oren
Yes Oren, I think it is haunted. The new residents of the refurbished building are lawyers. Shreik, Shriek, MMwwaaaaahhhhh!
Hi. I believe that after five years, your hair should be maxed out on growth. Your photo could use a little zooming in for more details, but I can see that your hair is wavy. By the way, what is exactly the beauty shop? It looks like a horrible place to me.
Matthew
Matt, Terminal length is different for everybody. Some peoples hair stops growing after a year and some grow out over decades. Not sure 5 is the magic max out number. Yes my hair is very wavy.
Beauty shops are very scary places. Stay away at all costs!
