I have just started growing my hair at 59. I have no length in mind where i want it. I am just curious, how man of u are aim for waistlength hair. Thank you.
Hi Rick,
Yes, I am similar, but my goal length is classic length (butt length). I'm also man enough to explore braids, and buns! Here is a pic just for you! I hope that it will inspire you to grow hair, and try out fun protective hairstyles like bunning. Bunning hair according to many people I know helped them reach extreme lengths. I'd only recommend bunning if you ever plan to grow extreme lengths!
Side view of my new bun that I am experimenting with.
Good luck!

Hi rowie,
Wow, that's an awesome bun:) Now I'm really inspired to work on doing one.Once I get home from CA I'll get some hair sticks and try my skills.Anyway thanks for the pic as they are gorgeous!Cheers

Hi Mârk!
Thanks for the wonderful comment. I'm glad you'll be trying out different bun techniques, especially since you've hinted that you'd like your hair to grow longer. You have such beautiful hair that I'm sure you will be able to execute it well. Also, if you are still in CA, you can definitely find many hair sticks because you are in a state that is culturally diverse. Just a thought of souvenirs you can get for yourself.hehehe
Well when you do decide to try out buns, if you can, try out the "nautilus bun" for me.LOL I have a long way before I can try that bun. I've attached a link to how to do this bun. Sorry I could not find a man do it, but this person has a similar length to yours.
Have a fun and safe trip!

I myself should be a waist length by the end of the year if not sooner
Right now I am aiming for shoulder length and my hair is about 1-2" long
just out of curiosity how long do you think it would take me to grow it to waist length?
I have about another 8 inches to go. I haven't decided yet. I should have another 3 inches of grow by fall.

Well Iv been growing mine out for almost 4 years now and i started out with hair maybe about 4" long
Not me. Just past shoulder length is far enough. Any longer than that might detract from my stunning good looks! :)
My g/f is going to trim it back a bit this weekend and I'm looking forward to it. I'll be watching her like a hawk though. If she cuts off 1mm too much, she meets a grisly end. ;)

I'm hoping waist length is just a stepping stone on the way to knee length!
Oh yeah definitely. I'm aiming for it to go down to my jeans pockets.
It depends what you mean by waist. Technically, I have already reached waist length, but firstly, many people think of their waist as a point much lower down than it really is, secondly, only a few strands right in the middle have got that long, and thirdly, my hair is wavy, so it only reaches my waist if you pull it out straight!
I was hoping to reach tailbone length at one time, but I don't think my hair is going to get any longer than it is now. I am 54, FWIW,
I know several longhairs who I remember having butt length hair when they were in their 20s and 30s, they've never cut it since, and now they are about 60 years old and their hair ends at mid-back.
You may get waist length hair, but a small minority of men our age can get hair down to there, so don't get your heart too set on it. Just grow, and enjoy, what you get!

Well, that's where I aiming for, but at my age? I think I'll let nature take its course as see what happens :D
I am going for waist aka beltline
Just about on the cusp of waist-length now after just a bit over 4 years of growing, and probably will be at belt-length by the end of the year.

Hi Rick,
