Hi Guys,
This is my first post in a long time. Some of you may remember, but I was semi-active on here in 2008 and 2009 and I got my hair to shoulder length before giving up and getting it cut. Prior to that I had long hair (shoulder-blade length) in the mid 1990's for about three years.
I'm trying again, hoping the third time's the charm. I had my last haircut in May, so I'm a little less than six months in. Below is a picture from March of this year, which is a pretty good representation of where I started from.
My hair is now below-the-collar but above my shoulders. In front it extends to the tip of my nose, so I have a way to go. The next two pictures were taken about three weeks ago and show my progress thus far.and (I've also been coloring my hair with a henna-indigo combination since the last go around.)It's nice to see that though some of the faces have changed, MLHH is still the same cool group of guys, not to mention the great hair :-)Thanks for reading,Chris

Hey Chris,
I remember you. I'm sorry to hear that you ended up cutting your hair but it's great to see you off to such a good start on your third attempt.
Was there a specific reason that you cut last time? It's good to be prepared this time around for any negative influences, whether internal or external, that may try to sabotage successful growing.
You have excellent hair, just think how awesome it will look a year from now!

Hi Jason,
Thanks...it's good to be remembered! You ask a good question:
Externally, I had little support. I had a partner that preferred short hair and friends and family that mostly said nothing or once in a while something negative. An example is my sister, who can be very blunt, told me that my long hair around my face (i.e. not tied up) made me look older, in her opinion. Most of the compliments I got came from strangers.
Also, late-2009 was very stressful at work, with budget cuts and layoffs going on. I figured getting my hair cut couldn't hurt. In hindsight it made no difference whatever.
Internally, I think I just lost patience. I was could tie my hair back, but not loosely as I would have preferred. I wore it mostly down and got tired of managing it.
I'd like to kick myself now because I wasn't that far away from having a more manageable length. Really for me, the two-week rule should be the two-month rule!
I feel a little more confident this go-around because I'm certainly aware of what derailed me the last time around, and I think I've become a little more mature and little less likely to be impulsive.
Thanks,
Chris
Oh sure, I remember you....Welcome Back !!
I am sure you will enjoy your journey back to longhair even more this time. You are certainly off to a great start. Love the colour !!
We look forward to following your progress. Thanks for Sharing

Thank you! It's good to be back. One thing I've always liked is the patience that longtime longhairs like you have with some of who have had stops and starts getting to long hair.
Thanks,
Chris
Hi Chris,
Nice hair, I really like your color.
Kris
Thank you Kris.
Hi Chris,
Yes, your hair looks great as I do love the color however I'm biased because I love longhair and I henna mine also;) LOL.It's cool seeing this influx of past users as of late so welcome back my friend.Cheers

Hi Mark,
I've followed your henna transformation and love how it looks on you. Funny how for everyone it's slightly different. With your lighter hair I would say the effect is more dramatic. The pictures I took were in the sun which us where you see it most noticeably for me. In incandescent light the red doesn't show up nearly as much on my brown hair (more on the grays). I think good henna is
something more people should try.
Thanks,
Chris
Hi Chris,
Thank you for your comments on my hennaed hair as I've always loved the results ever since the first day I took the plunge.Funny you should mention the sunlight as just last week I was out west in San Francisco where this picture was taken of me and my hair in the setting sun near the Golden Gate Bridge.Have to say the sun just brings out the color so well.Cheers

Thanks Ted! I've been following your hair journey over the past few months that I've been growing mine. Looks like I'm a few inches behind you but headed in the same direction :-)
Thanks,
Chris
Yes, Chris! We shall attain superhuman lengths together:)
Ted
Welcome to your third journey Chris! I think you may just be a few inches behind me from what I can tell. Its always exciting to see someone else who is close to the same stage as you. Just remember we are here to help with any concerns or questions!
Looking forward to your future updates,
-Tommy
Thanks Tommy,
I've enjoyed seeing your comparison pics the last few months. It is good to see others relatively near the same length.
Thanks,
Chris
