So, I've been growing my hair for more than five years now and back in December I had to get a trim to take care of the dead ends. They were worse than I thought and I wound up having two inches taken off, which I really hated to do. Haircuts are probably my least favorite thing in the world lol. I feel like it looks a lot shorter and I just can't wait for it to grow longer.
Anyway, I'm posting pictures from just before the trim and then from now.
I wanted to get it to my lower back by my next birthday. While it doesn't look like that's going to happen (my birthday is on March 28 lol) I'm still shooting to grow it to my waist by the time I turn 21.
Your hair looks great! Nice texture, colour and shine.
And I'm reminded of something someone wrote on this board a while back about blunt cuts: very ratty, jagged hair ends can make some people think Oh he's just too lazy to go to the hair salon (and too lazy for who knows what else)
whereas a blunt cut with an even length —or any visible cut, for that matter— sends the message that you actively want to have your hair at that length and that it's a hairstyle (a.k.a. "haircut") you consciously choose to have.
Is this the 'after' view? You have only posted one.
If so it looks very good however irritating it was to lose some.
Hi Dylan,
I'm assuming this picture is your "after" shot and I do have to admit your hair looks fantastic and very healthy.It's a shame you had to loose length but, as you said, if the ends were in very bad shape it probably was unavoidable.Next time though you should treat your ends better so you won't have to repeat the cut especially since you are aiming for waist length.Anyway your look great and I'm sure you'll still have an enjoyable birthday regardless my friend:)Cheers

Hi Dylan, you have plenty more birthdays to get to lower back and beyond! In the meantime it looks fantastic!
your hair looks like the kind that will grow to your knees if you want it to and you are also young enough to see to what length you can grow it...some of us that got a late start growing wish we could have stared it back at that age!..have fun growing and enjoying your hair and sharing it with us
You've certainly cultivated some truly beautiful hair. I suspect a lot of your friends are extremely envious, I know I am. Best wishes for continued growth.
doesn't look short to me.....but does look like cornsilk.....beautiful.
Thanks for Sharing

Sorry I did it wrong lol. This is the after picture. Does anyone know how to upload more than one photo at once?

Replace the brackets with , and replace "URL" with the address of the picture.
Replace the brackets with < and > symbols respectively.
Looks good Dylan!

Danielle
AWESOME hair!!!
Wow your hair is beautiful, love the length and color, I bet women just want to run their fingers in all that hair, and they are probley jealous of all that hair. Very nice.

Dylan,
I think it looks great! I think that occasional trims to make it look nice says to people that you like it long and looking good, not just a ratty-ended grow-out. If more of us guys kept our long hair looking neat it might help make it more acceptable.
