When I raise my arms over my head to snap the pic it shortens my length. Right now it is below my shoulder blades and even with my nipples. I want to be able to reach behind my back and be able to touch my hair. There is about 4" to go. I guess won't be this year. Oh and all of the older longhairs have been giving their ages. I'm 80 and will be 81 in December. Tommie
Hi Tommie, your update was certainly worth waiting for - just fantastic and a great colour too. There does seem to be a few of us "more senior" members around at the moment which is great news, and our younger friends too seem to be growing in numbers. More power to longhairs!
Best regards, Ian
Hey Tommie, what a great update, it's so cool to have you more mature gentlemen showing us how it's done :)
Man if I can have hair like yours even at 60 I will be mega pleased, in fact I thought you were around 60yrs. Awesome!
Cheers Dave
Hi Tommie, all I have to say is, I'm now hoping I have as great quality hair when I'm 80! Looks great, thanks for the update :)
Regards, James
Tommie, You do not look 80. No doubt don't act it either(whatever acting 80 is supposed to be) Great hair. I thought I was doin good at 60. thanks for the plus...I love it.
Tommie, I would have never guessed that you were even close to 80 years of age. As a registered nurse who works primarily with patients who could be described as "elderly," I can honestly say that you look younger and more vibrant than most of the people in their 50s and 60s I've dealt with. Thanks for sharing the outstanding update photo.

Hi Tommie,
Wow, if I live to be 80 I want my hair to be just like yours my friend:)I was floored when you stated your age as I was thinking early 60s at best.Life has treated you well as you look in awesome shape.Thanks for you hair update too:)Cheers

Hi Tommie,
You are blessed with a truly excellent head of hair for someone who is 80, about all I can say is wow! Hurray for you in growing it long at your age, and for being an inspiration, and for showing us that long hair is indeed for everyone!
Keep it growing,
David
Nice hair! What are your secrets for long life?
(And hint to someone that you want a camera with a self-timer for your next birthday.)
You remind me of Gandolf, from The Lord of The Rings. I hope you get your length. You deserve it. I can easily reach mine from behind now, and it wasn't even a specific goal, but you're right in implying it is a good feeling.....
Looking just fabulous Tommie!!
I remember your last update from a couple of years back - well worth the wait.

Wow Tommie!
I'd never have guessed you are 80 years old. You have fantasic hair overall, nevermind for an 80 year old. Your hair must grow rather quickly if you are predicting another four inches in a year, I'd never manage that!
Take care and keep on growing!
Neil.
Tommie, very impressive head of hair, with nice color!!! A real inspiration for a lot of people, I'm sure! Thanks for sharing this amazing hair update. :)
Hi Tommie,
Great update and it is wonderful to see people of your vintage demonstrating that there is no such thing as being too old for long hair. I'm guessing that you are probably the most senior member on this forum. Where I live there are a few similar gentlemen of your cohort walking around with long hair.
Thanks for the picture of your latest progress.
