I would like to wish you all a wonderfully good morning! It is morning here in north-western Europe at least ;)
I wanted to shamelessly try to promote my youtube channel here as well, since you guys are, after all, the reason I even started filming my hair updates and documenting the journey online.
Been filming the videos for about a year, and even then, I was already at 9 months, the phase I am at now (again).
Fun stuff.. would love to hear your thoughts for those of you not familiar with my journey and story :)
Thanks in advance,
Have a GREAT day and week!
Raul.

Raul, you are looking good as usual. So when are you going to
change your avatar so we don't have to look at your buzzed head
any more? Especially since we know that you are a long hair at
heart.
PS You may soon run out of space on your skin for tattoos.
First off buddy, thanks for the long hair at heart comment! I truly am, and wholeheartedly yearn for feeling it down my face, shoulders and back again... someday, that day WILL be here :)
I actually like having that god-awful shaved apea of an avatar picture here, since it shows the drastic change my hair has gone through since last september! Don't think I will change it anytime soon, perhaps at the 1 year mark at most to show growth from there.
And when it comes to ink and space on my body, I would dare say I only have about 15%-20% tattooed, so there's still PLEEENTY to go, my friend!
As soon as my sleeves are perfect, it's time to attend the back, then chest, then legs... yeah, there's always something that needs inking ;)
Appeciate it if you took the time to check my channel out! The more subscribers, the more comments and activity, and the more people I can help inspire to grow their hair long :)
Okay, since I didn't want to spam the board with another topic, here are some pics I took today to show my progress so far.
I greatly encourage all others who might have started or re-started growing their hair again around this time, to post some pictures as well for comparison and encouragement :)
PS- Keep in mind I have been trimming the back short for the first 7 months or so, that is why it is so short in that area.
Now lets see your "mugshots", SHCC members! ;)
Fuck, wrong picture.
Here's a 2nd attempt!
Here's my latest for the "September 2013 Haircut Club". My hair is so white it dazzles the camera when I use the flash. It gives some idea of my back hair touching my clothes collar without my tipping my head back.
The photo below was taken in August 2011, but I buzzed it in exactly this way until September 2013.
What a difference (close to) a year makes, my friend!
I actually love the completely silver hair, and will be happy to sport some white, midback long hair myself in the future :)
YOu've made a GREAT decision to grow your hair out, Anthony!
Soon to be a year, my friend!
What a tremendous difference in such a short span of time! The quality of your hair is outstanding... looking forward to seeing continued progress.

Great progress photos... Looks good now, and will look awesome when it gets even longer!

8.5 months (last cut at the end of September 2013).
Would you look at that grizzly... mountain man! :D
Awesome pics, Val!
Your hair, beard and build all go well together to create that candadian lumberjack look! Only missing the flannel shirt and the chainsaw! :D
Haha... I have some of each... maybe for a future update!

Raul, what happened to your beard after you asked for beard growing tips about a month ago?
It looks like you are deeply carving your facial hair and not letting it grow out full and natural like your head hair.
What happened, my good man, is that I simply cannot manage a bushy upper lip. As simple as that.
As soon as it starts to thicket, and I can't really feek my skin through my hair, can't feel a towel really drying it up, and I can't even feel my girls face when kissing her... it drives me instane.
Beard was just an experiment, and it will proabably make many more comebacks. Hair is so much easier and lovelier to manage, despite everything ;)
Hey man, glad to see the update, congrats on coming back around to 9 months. Just think of it as the last time you'll have to visit 9 months of growth :)
I'm still digging the videos and the photos are great too! That is too funny on the September 2013 club you guys mentioned!
I'm hoping to post an update of my own soon, month to month doesn't seem all that different but I know I'm making progress still! Maybe I'll just wait until 2 years, hmmm what do you think?
Welcome back from vacation as well!

Thanks Tommy! You've been a great supportert and now inspiration, and I always love seeing your comments both here and on YT! :)
I definitely want to see more pics of your hair, as it really is inspirational to me! It looks absolutely fantastic, and I am sure many others would love to get a glimpse!
9 months never more! ;)
I did take some update pictures a week or so ago, I'll try to get them posted up soon!

Hi Raul,
One of the joys of coming here to MLHH is seeing posts like this, from all parts of our amazing little blue planet, and reading your comments from Norway from earlier today, while I get to reply from the western edge of the North American continent only a few hours later... My guess is that it's probably either very late Monday evening as I write this, or possibly even very VERY early Tues. morning by now where you live... Ah, the miracle of the Internet!
Your hair is coming along really nicely, I'm so happy to see it growing back! I will eventually check out your new YouTube videos later; but for now, just wanted to say "good afternoon" back at ya!

Hi there, old (yet refreshingly awesome) friend! :)
Yeah, it's truly amazing how relative the concept of time really is, and how technology has brought us all together in ways not even imaginable just a few decades back!
It was late late monday when I saw your post, and it's already 6:56am on tuesday morning here now! Time for a new workday to start!
Appreciate it, and keep inspiring us "young guns", eh?
Alright, Raul... great posts - and great pictures and great videos of you doing what you do. Glad to see you in various places in your real world and in my social media world -
Thank you, Fitz!
Always enjoy seeing pictures of you, your lovely family and your sweet coffee mugs on Facebook as well :)
Have a good one, my friend!
Hi Raul,
I want to wish you a good morning as well buddy! I have no idea what time it is in Norway now! But this is a very nice pic of you my friend! I need to check out your Youtube channel. I always enjoy your videos. And I do hope you have a great week as well!
Ted
Thanks Ted!
Wishing you a good Wednedsay morning (05:00 am here already!) and a great week onwards!
Please do check my channel, it would mean a lot to me!
Hi Rail,
My apologies for the late reply, since I am on the road, but I would like to wish you a very belated good morning. It is great to see your hair progressing along so quickly, and keep up the good work!
Keep it growing,
David
Better late than ever, David! =)
Wishing you a great WEDNESDAY morning as well, and thanks for thje constant support and inspiration!
I do have to say I have tried taking some of the good values I've experienced here and spread them across the YouTube male hair growth community!
Thank you ALL for all the inspiration!
