new thread
Hey, I stumbled on this browsing the other day and decided I would post. I am 20 and just finished my second year of college and presently my hair is upper back length and even as I didn't like layers and trimmed them out a while back. I started growing my junior year of high school finally, but wanted to grow it out for a long time before that. My hair is quite bushy and so I don't wear it lose often, though I like it better back anyway. I generally wear it braided as I have found that to be better for my hair and controls it better than a ponytail. I am planning to keep it growing and plan to get it as long as I can; a waist length braid would be awesome, but that's a long way off. Any way hello and good luck with your growing.
Josh
Hey, Josh: That's an incredibly thick braid you have. Amazing in so many ways... the absolute antithesis of my hair... Glad you posted a pic.
Totally awsome, Josh. Thanks for posting.
Wow you have some amazingly thick hair. Please do keep growing it.
I am sooooo jealous of your hair!
That is some THICK hair! A waist length braid will be awesome with your hair.
Thanks for sharing and good luck.
Daaaayum, that's some thick hair right there!
We're talking Rapunzel quality here, hehehe :D
Awesome stuff man!
Your hair looks great! Trust me, thicker is better. We're around the same age and my hair is really thick, too. I usually do a segmented ponytail (several hair ties) to keep it in check.
Nice Hair Dude. Like to see it from front with 2 braids
Sam
Looks awesome

Hi Josh,
Welcome to the hyoerboard, and I am glad that you have decided to post and share your progress with us.
That is one truly impressive and THICK braid, and your hair appears to be in excellent condition. Keep up the good work with the growing!
Keep it growing,
David
Wow! Your hair is awesome! I wish my hair was that thick. You should post a pic with hair down. Can't wait to see your progress over the years!
A.D.
Thanks for the compliments! I certainly do plan to keep growing. Here is a pic I took with my hair down after being braided a few days. The thickness made it a pain to grow out and now my ponytail is absolutely huge and uncontrollable, but the braid does look cool I think.
AWESOME!!!!!!
Most women would kill to have hair that thick! Most men with long hair would too ;-)
Your hair looks so healthy. You must take good care of it.
you really do have awesome hair - it looks so shiny, healthy and clean -
Hi Josh,
Your hair is simply beautiful here! Is your hair naturally wavy or is that from braiding all the time?
Ted
It is kind of wavy, but in the pic its from not washing for a few days and having it braided the whole time. If I ever have it loose its when its like that and somewhat tamped down.
Hi Josh,
It is definitely very nice. You are fortunate to have such color and thickness!
Ted
Hi Josh,
Welcome to the board! I must say you have some wonderful thick hair with a great color! I have hair which is somewhat thick and unruly also. However, I like to mostly wear mine down. Layers do help with thick hair, but make it hard to braid and do pony tails. But you are doing a great job growing that's for sure! Please keep us updated and be well my friend!

Greetings, Josh.
You have the thickest hair I have ever seen. I am amazed. You should be able to reach waist length in maybe 2 years. Hopefully you won't get hair tension headaches at that length. (Long thick heavy hair can sometimes cause this.)
Scott
That would be awesome if it were that long in 2 years! I hope it grows that fast.

From what I see in the loose hair image (post 313743) your hair appears to be at the bottom of your shoulder blades right now. Depending on height, waist length does look reachable in 2 years. I am guessing you are maybe 5'8" tall. (If you are really tall, the length needed to reach your waist increases.)
With such thick hair, a ponytail is probably difficult, making a braid the best choice. Hopefully tangles aren't too much of an issue for you.
Scott
Welcome to MLHH!
You have amazing hair, I wish I had your fullness..
Lookin' really awesome....Thanks for posting and keep us updated!

Thanks again for the compliments. I am out road tripping with some friends and one of the convinced me to wear it loose. This is after washing it this morning. Broke down and tied it back after not too long, loose is just too much. Also hoping I can get some actual facial hair in the next couple years and lose the baby face, as I think a beard would go nice with long hair, plus it might help people actually come closet to thinking I am 20 and not 12.
That is still an amazingly thick crop of hair you have! You may
think it a bit of a nuisance but as one whose hair is getting
thinner and thinner your hair is to die for.
Hi Josh,
Wow! I am loving that beautiful thick hair my friend! My hair used to be a lot thicker when I was in my teens. It looks as if my hair has thinned out since I decided to grow it out again. Combined with your great smile, your hair is just awesome! Facial hair would be a bonus! Please keep enjoying the journey and your very nice hair! Please be well my friend!

Growing a beard is a great idea, Josh W. There are some beard groups on Facebook. You may want to check them out.
Scott
Hi Josh,
I agree that a beard would go well with your long hair. As someone who also has a thick head of hair be thankful for it as hair does thin with age and if you had very thick hair now then when you hit 40 (if you don't get Male Pattern Baldness happening) you will still have a reasonably thick head of hair. Your hair is a marvellous thickness and may take all day to dry off but it is worth it.
best,
Duncan
Hi Josh, I hate to echo the same thoughts as everyone else but you do have awesome hair! My hair is also thick but it's probably only half the length of yours.
-Tommy
Wow! What an awesome braid. Very cool.
This is a fake. This is not you. Shame it. I saw the picture with the front view in large from a lady, who is selling her hair.
Pity....
Chris
WOW, you could tie a boat down with that braid -- that has got to hold a record for being about the thickest head of hair I've ever seen!
Anyway, before I forget to say it: WELCOME to MLHH, Josh, nice to have you become a part of our community! (And yes, I agree with you that I think a beard on you would look very cool indeed!)
Take Care,
Ken in San Francisco
That's an awesome thick braid! Keep growing, it requires a lot of patience but Ãn the end you'll get there
