Hey everyone! Long time lurker...first time poster. This pic was taken about a week ago. I had long hair for about 8 or 9 years when I was younger (from around age 14-23). But was forced to cut it and wear it very very short for about 4 years while I was a firefighter. I quit that job in early '07 and immediately started growing my hair back out. It could be longer, but I prefer it at this length and probably wont let it get much longer. But I dont see myself cutting my hair shorter than this EVER.
Your hair looks great at your current length. I look forward to seeing future pics.
Hey all! thanks for the positive words. I might let it grow a bit more just for the heck of it! and yes, i do straighten my hair. its naturally very wavy and frizzy and curls up really bad at the ends. usually only takes about 10 minutes to do but i use a straightening iron on it. i know that isnt the best thing to do and it could damage the hair but i try to take great care of it otherwise.
Welcome to the board and say goodbye to the lurker!Your hair looks great and if your happy with that length then you have achieved your goal.Still I think you should go longer just to see what you'd look like but that's certainly up to you.Can't hurt to experiment as you can always go back to your original length.Anyway glad you found us here and that its made and impression on you.It's always fun when new faces show up to tell their stories:)Cheers

It look greats. Were you allowed to wear the earrings as a firefigher or that was also banned?
WELCOME to MLHH!!!
Glad you stepped out of the shadows and into the longhaired light!
That's a nice length -- long enough to tie back if you wish, yet also looks great when loose. And I don't blame you one bit for never wanting to have short hair ever again: I feel EXACTLY the same!!!
Take care, and again, WELCOME!

Welcome, and I'm glad that you have regrown your hair and found a length that you are happy with, and it won't be too high maintenance cause it's only shoulder length.
I thought they would let "firies" tuck it under their helmet with a bun or other concealing hair style?
Hey your hair looks great! Nice length too. It looks like you do a great job taking care of it, I wish you the best in growing it out and wish you the best!
Looks good man! Mine me asking, do you straighten your hair or is naturally straight?
