Hey, just discovered this place through Slate. Glad to see a place like this dedicated to those of us who have chosen this path.
I grew up in Alabama and other places in the Deep South, and as you might expect, received a lot of negative feedback from people regarding my hair.
I moved to Colorado 8 years ago, though, and I have to say that it seems that Colorado is a very longhair-friendly place. I'm in Castle Rock currently, and there are plenty of guys rocking this style.
Anyhow, just wanted to say hi and join the community.

Hello and welcome. I like your shirt, too. Hair looks great.

Dear VH,

I just don't get it! why wasn't it OK for you to have long hair but they wouldn't say jack about the dudes on Duck Dynasty or Ted Nugent?
Most of the negativity I received was back in the late '80s and early '90s before DD was a thing. And Nugent was just some freak to that crowd.
Hi VH,
Glad to hear you found us and decided to check into our community:)Its amazing how many "just find us" since this board has been around for a very long time but the main thing is we are here for guys like us.Your hair looks outstanding as well as envious my friend.I'm happy you managed to find an area where your longhair is more accepted as I've head that about Colorado being more free wheeling.Anyway welcome to the mlhh and hope to see you again soon.Cheers

volsunghawk,
Welcome! You have great looking hair and I also really like your (Scots)t-shirt. Know where I can get one?
peace,
jonalbear!
Honestly, I got the Scotland T-shirt via Amazon. My heritage is Scottish, so my wife and I decided to establish a St. Columba's Day tradition similar to the St. Patrick's Day for Irish heritage. On this day (June 9th), you wear blue and white, eat bridies, and drink as much scotch as you can manage. It's great fun.
volsunghawk,
Sounds like a great tradition. May have to start that one myself as I am of Scottish heritage as well as others. Thanks for the tip on the Tee!
peace,

Hello.
First I want to tell you that your hair is looking awesome. My goal is this length. I believe, that in the end of the year I'll reach it :)
Some Bulgarians who I know live and work in Colorado. They also tell me positive things about long hair. My opinion is that this is a longhair-friendly place.
A friend of mine, who is a student in Sofia was in Colorado for a couple of months. His hair has not been an issue.
Greetings from Sofia, and please keep it. It looks great!
