Well, I've made it to the 8 month mark on my journey towards long hair. While last month I couldn't really notice much progress, this month I feel like I've made a good deal of it. I'm really hoping to make it to the 1 year mark. So far no complaints from work. A few comments, which I didn't take to be too negative. My hair is really thick and the back is really flipping up. I'm so curious to see how it's going to progress from here. Can't wait until I can pull it back in a pony tail. I'm getting closer to being an official longhair. Thanks for all the inspiration here.
Here are a few pics.

Hi BeardedPiper,
Thanks for the update pics, it definitely looks as if you've made some great progress since last month. I remember when my hair started flicking up at the back like that, at first it's so exciting, finally realizing your hair has some life to it :D
Great update, your hair looks very thick and healthy, and your beard is just plain kick ass.
Kind Regards, James
Your beard is gorgeous! :D And your hair is coming along nicely. Stay strong throughout all of the inevitable comments, and ride the wave of the praise that you’ll receive. All the best, good sir.

Very thick, great texture, and fantastic color. What more could anyone ask for? Oh, lots and lots of length. Best wishes for a successful hair growing journey.
Thank you all for the kind words and encouragement. If I can get to the 1 year mark, then I know I'll probably end up shooting for terminal length. I remember when I started my beard journey. I shot for 1 year and once I hit that point I just kept going. I reached a point with my beard that it became very wispy and the end, so I'm thinking it was a sign of reaching terminal length. I regret trimming it a few months back. Good thing is it will grow back.
Thanks again all.

Do you play some kind of pipes? Your hair's really nice.
No, but I wish. When I joined this forum awhile back, I was a pipe smoker. I've since quit, but kept the name. I've been thinking of using a different handle.
Thanks for the kind words.
While last month I couldn't really notice much progress, this month I feel like I've made a good deal of it.
It's very funny, how it can sometime seem, like your hair grew a foot over night, after going months of what felt like no growth...LOL
A year is close..."You can do it"
You have an awesome beard and it'll look even better once your hair gets longer. In a year or two you'll look super cool!!
The longhair and the beard go together very well.
Good luck with growing!

Awesome beard and the hair is well on the way. Great color btw!
peace, jonalbear
Your hair is looking really nice and in great condition!!
Beardedpiper, if you are on Facebook, you should check out this page called "Ginger Beards." There's a guy named Jack Passion on there who has an amazingly long red beard. Your beard beats many of the other photos posted!!
Thanks for the info Laura. I'm familiar with Jack, but was not familiar with this page. I'll check it out.
Take care.
Your hair is coming along real nicely. You've got an awesome beard, and the long hair will go really well with it.
Just fantastic, keep it going my friend :)

Looking just superb Brian! Good growth for only 8 months.
