Hi everyone,
IÂ’ve been growing my hair for the last year. I last had my hair cut on March 9, 2011, and I immediately regretted it. I had grown my hair since July 2008, although I did have some length cut off in July 2010. This time there will be no cutting at all. As you can see, IÂ’m currently in the awkward stage, and IÂ’ve become very used to it over the last three years. From my last experience, I think it could be another year before IÂ’m really out of it. My goal at the moment is at least mid-back.
IÂ’ve visited MLHH for several years now, and I've found it to be a great source of help and inspiration, although I very rarely posted here until very recently.
Kind regards,
Lee
You're where I was in 2008. My hair's super long now (I just posted a picture under "High school/university students with long hair"), so if you just hang on it'll get there.
The hardest part is getting it long enough to tie back. After that it's a breeze lol.
How old are you? That picture is from the summer between 10th and 11th grade, so by the time I graduated it was REALLY long.
Hi Dylan,
Thanks for the encouragement. I saw your picture, and your hair and its length are very impressive. I can tie back almost all of my hair. The hair that can't quite be tied back sits behind my ears. I'm 21, by the way.

Hi Lee, and thanks for sharing your progress. You have good thick hair that will grow well and I'm sure you will reach you goal - and beyond. With the natural wave it will certainly look very good on you. Just keep away from those scissors! Good luck, Ian
Thanks Ian. I will certainly stay away from the scissors!
Lee
Looks nice Lee!
peace, jonalbear
Thanks jonalbear!

Looks great, Lee. I wouldn't say it looks awkward at all.
Thanks for the kind words Gene!

Hi Lee,
I have to admit if that's the awkward stage then I'm surprised anyone would throw in the towel when growing out their own hair.You have the potential to have a phenomenal mane my friend:)I'm glad you are posting now but some guys do like to lurk before taking the plunge.Obviously by now you know we don't bite;)Cheers to you!

Thanks for the kind words, Mark. They're much appreciated.
Lee
It looks past the awkward stage to me. It's now in the cool stage!

You are passed the awkward stage now - and it looks superb.
No more scissors, just enjoy.
Thanks, UK. I'm enjoying the journey, and I'll be keeping away from those scissors.

Hi Lee,
Thank you for sharing your update with us, and congratulations on one year of growing! Your hair really looks to be in good condition, and is nice and thick too.
Keep it growing,

Thanks for Sharing

Thank you, Walter!

Not only does your hair look great, but the lighting in your picture is awesome, it's like a production still of some TV show. How did you pull that off?
Thanks Mick, and thanks for the compliments on the picture. I just took the photo with only natural light. I didnÂ’t intend it to look anything great!
Lee
Hi Lee,
Your hair looks great so far, It actually looks quite similar to mine when mine was that length, similar colour as well :) Keep it growing, the longer it gets the better it will look. Check out my website for progress pictures to judge for yourself the similarity between our two hair types :)
Kind Regards, James
Hi James,
Thank you. IÂ’ll be very pleased if my hair looks anything like yours. IÂ’ve looked at your progress photos and you have amazing hair.
Lee
Good going Lee and in the year ahead you will not believe how much hair you will have to show for your patience in growing out all right now. You will probably be at mid-back easily before the end of 3 years.

Thanks Justin,
I’m really looking forward to getting to mid-back. Thank you for your YouTube videos and hair playlist – they’ve been inspiring.
Lee
wow this is awesome.
This is definitely going to be a goal for me, or at least inspiration.
Thanks PhoeniXCE,
I wish you all the best in your hair growing. I remember seeing some of your updates in the past. IÂ’m sure it wonÂ’t be long before your hair is at the length it used to be.
Lee
Looking just great Lee - congrats on the one-year mark!
It just gets better.
