Hardly ever post anymore, but I do drop on occasion and thought it might be time to post an update. (Pic was taken this morning.)
better view of the hair
Your hair is looking great.
Thanks, I appreciate your compliment. I try to take care of it. I actually get a maintenance trim every couple of months and I do think that has contributed to it looking good.
Karsten
Good to see you, my friend. Great update photo.
Thanks for sharing....and drop by more often.
Walter
Thanks Walter, I do check in from time to time but just don't post. I guess I should offer my thoughts and compliments more often.
Karsten
Hi Karsten,
Wow, long time no see or hear but glad to see you stop back in and what outstanding hair your sporting as of late! I recall you having health issues a while ago but trust things are going better in that respect.Anyway its nice to see long time members reappear after a long absence so hopefully we'll see more of you my friend.Have a great weekend! Cheers
Mârk
Thanks Mark. Yes, the health issues really took a toll on myself and my hair. My mane recovered but I never fully did. Just never felt the same afterwards. On the plus side, I do think I am getting some more growth and shedding has decreased. Glad your recent trip to the west coast went well. That's somewhere I hope to visit some day.
Karsten
Hi Karsten,
Great to see you stop by and what hair you're sporting! I do believe it's definitely gained further length and it remains nice and thick at the hemline at the same time. It really looks fantastic and I like the way you have it with multiple ties. I might have to try this.
It would appear you have still have a considerable way to go to terminal.
Jason
Thanks Jason. I have experienced a burst of growth and were it not for some slight trims it would be longer. My stylist knows my goal is more length and I do think the trims have helped to keep my mane in good shape. I usually wear it tied back with three or 4 hair ties. Recently I have started using a couple of hair gloves to secure it when sleeping. It has really decreased tangling. Your hair is also looking terrific. Hope you and your family have a great holiday season.
Karsten
Hi Karsten
Amazing and I am thrilled for you. Magnificent! :-)
Justin~
Thanks Justin. I remember the great mane you used to have and can relate what you went through. I had lost so much hair I was thinking of going shorter but was talked out of it, and glad I was. Good that you have stuck around as you offer great advice and inspiration. I enjoy your photo enhancements that you do from time to time. Here's one I did on myself using a cartoon enhancement.
Karsten
Well Karsten, I really enjoyed that rendering of your own photo. (Really neat.) So now, here is a special rendering just for you featured on a magazine cover. You're famous! :-)
Thank you for the kind words and hope that you are having a great weekend!
Justin~
Justin, you have outdone me. Looks terrific!
Karsten
Hi Karsten,
It is really good to see you stop on by, and I hope you are being blessed by better health these days.
Your hair is looking excellent as always, and you have such nice thickness in your ponytail. As Jason said, you should be good to go for quite a bit more growth!
Keep it growing,
David
Thanks David, and may I say your mane is looking great too. My hair had not been washed for over a week in the photo, but thought it look rather good and that it would be a good time to post an update. I will try not to be such a stranger here.
Karsten
Hi Karsten,
First of all, I want to say I hope your health is holding up well! By the look of your hair, something is! I am certainly glad you decided to check back in with such a wonderful pic of you and your hair! You have given me a boost of motivation!
Please don't wait so long to post again my friend! Best wishes for good health and happy holidays!
Ted
Thanks Ted, and good luck in your hair journey. I have enjoying reading your posts on the board. Glad I could offer some motivation. I used to take a lot of what I called "hair fun" photos where I would throw my mane over a large rock or let it fall to the ground down the side of a tree stump. That would help to give me new goals as I always wanted it longer.
Karsten
-------------------------
Your hair looks fantastic, Karsten. Happy holidays.
Scott
Thanks Scott. Don't know how you get all those ties down the whole length of your mane with out them sliding off. I can manage about 4 and then my arms start hurting. Have a great Thanksgiving!
Karsten
Looks good, Karsten! And good to see you posting and that you are doing well.
Bill
Thanks Bill. I have been checking in to the board most every time I'm on the old computer. Don't know why I don't post much except maybe that what I might say would have already been said. But I should be helping to motivate those who's hair journey is just starting, no excuse for not doing that.
Hope you have a good Thanksgiving.
Karsten
Glad you did - I am pretty new to this forum - so glad to make your acquaintance.
Karsten, your hair is enviable.
Fitz
Thanks Fitz, same here, glad to also make your acquaintance. I have enjoyed reading your posts when I drop by.
Karsten
I am also new to this forum, and am glad you stopped by.... great tail and scenery!
Take care....
Thanks. I am hoping for knee-length but doubt if I'll attain it. Used to post lots of outdoor photos back when I was starting my hair journey.
Karsten
Hi Karsten, your hair looks great! It looks to be in great shape and I like the length too. Hope to see you sharing some wisdom with those of us still somewhat new to long hair.
-Tommy
Thanks Tommy. You have great hair and also handsome features for long hair. Hope you attain your length goal. I think mid-back or waist-length would look awesome.
Karsten
Hi Karsten,
Your hair looks hands-down SPECTACULAR!!! But better yet, it's just great to hear from you!!!!
So good to know that your health issues are mostly behind you; but I did read in one of your replies to someone else here that the recovery was a long road, and still not back to 100%, which I am very sorry to hear about.
Please drop by more often, it is always so good to hear from you!! And before I also forget to say it: I greatly miss seeing your outstanding photography, yours is unquestionably the best!!!
- Ken
Thanks Ken. Might I say that your mane looks awesome too. I have enjoyed your recent postings and the photos from when Mark visited a few weeks ago.
I just do not get out into the woods anymore to take the "hair fun" photos I seem to be remembered for. Maybe come spring I will try if I'm feeling better.
I myself think Trolleypup takes the more outstanding outdoor photos - and why not with that outstanding mane of his.
Hope you and yours have a great holiday!
Karsten
