Duncan sent me copies of the essay that he had handwritten out. I have scanned the images and made them into an entry on my blog. I also added a link here on MLHH to it. The scanned pages are very readable especially if you right-click on them and view them that way.
Thanks Duncan for your efforts. It's good that this material is now permanently preserved.
Here is a link to the entry:
An Essay on the Long-Haired Man
Thanks to both yourself and Duncan for helping to preserve and share this important piece of history from the culture of long-haired men.

Many thanks Jason and Duncan!
As Duncan pointed out, the name "Phil O. Trichos" is an obvious pseudonym from Greek, translating roughly as "Love of Hair". It would be interesting to know who actually wrote that pamphlet.

wow ... I loved that article ... & loved the line = 'hair cannot get shorter, it can only grow' ... it is natural & God's design ... thanx for posting CEM. :O)
A very interesting essay . Interesting indeed that aneurin had a lot to say on it , in fact only one letter separates aneurin from andurin , the great river in tolkeinology , when people ask me why i grow my hair long i point them to the great figures of fantasy mythology , aragorn , boromir , faramir , gandalf, saruman etc , a fantastic link mate , many thanks
That's so insane. It must have sucked to have been around back in the '60s and to have had to deal with all that prejudice, whether you had long hair or were just any minority.
Hey Jason, thanks for posting this. I love old books, so it's really nice to read the scanned original pages! I'm happy such an informative history of men's long hair can now be appreciated by a lot more people!

Thank you SO much, Jason and Duncan, for doing this!
I have not yet read all of it in its entirety; but I know I will, when I have more free time to give it the proper thoroughness it deserves. It's a piece of history -- OUR history... and yes, we do have the right to refer to "our longhair history", as odd as that might sound to the average short-haired person in Modern Western Society.
I can't think of a more perfect place than right here at MLHH to have this document permanently at our "virtual fingertips", ready & available to read anytime we wish...
You guys are GREAT -- thank you thank you THANK YOU!!!!
Long Lox 4ever,
