Hi everybody,
Here is my update at around 23 months. Still trying to get to waist length minimum. Onward and downward!
Ted
Please don't pay attention to the stupid way my shirt looks! It's an old shirt and doesn't fit well. A house shirt.
Ted
don't worry about your shirt, Ted... look at that happy face! that's what counts!
Hi Fitz,
If I remember correctly, this was taken after I came home from dialysis. Not looking my best I can assure you! That dialysis can be a force to reckon with! But yes, I am happy of course!
Ted
low pony looks good, Ted...
ever experiment with other styles?
Today, for the first time, I had the nerve to wear a high pony with the sides pulled up and the back down... I haven't had any comments (at least to my face).
The last time I tried this, it was shorter, but my son and my wife both told me they didn't like it.
I admire guys who have the nerve to wear their hair any way they want to. In time maybe we will feel that freedom of expression, too.
Hi Fitz,
I must admit that I only put my hair in a ponytail sometimes. I am much too lazy to experiment with other styles. That may change as I get longer though. I just really like the way long hair looks when worn down and loose. I know it's rough on the hair but just my preference. I have to see how my hair behaves when it gets longer (and heavier). It seems my hair has become more flyaway nowadays.
I bet you looked awesome with the half-up style! Sometimes we have to just do what we want and try to put up with the negativity. I also admire guys who "push the envelope". I have gotten to the point where I don't really care what others think. Thank goodness my wife likes my hair long!
Ted
Looking super duper, Ted!

Hi Ted,
Looking great for just under the two year milestone so it has to feel good getting this far:)I'm sure in the next year or two you'll make that goal of yours.As you know hair farming takes "lots" of patience.Cheers my friend.

Hi Mark,
Thanks very much for your kind words! The hair is starting to try to sit better behind my shoulders. Yes, the patience factor makes many people give up and cut. It is amazing how our hair just looks better with each new milestone we reach. Please be well my friend!
Ted
Very nice Ted
That is a lot of thick growth for less than two years.
Thanks for Sharing
Walter
Hi Walter,
Thanks so much for your very nice remarks! Yes, my hair is a little thicker than I wish it was! However, when I was a teenager, I had even thicker hair! As long as it doesn't fall out, I'm okay! Please stay well my friend!
Ted
TERRIFIC, Ted!! Your hair looks hands-down EXCELLENT!!!
"Onward & Downward!"
- Ken
Hi Ken,
I thank you kindly for your kudos! I trimmed about an inch off a while back and wish I hadn't. I think I am going to try not to do any more trimming until I reach a little past my goal of waist length. But I am happy with it so far. Please be well my friend!
Ted
Wow - teddy - good on you - your patience & 'stick-fastedness' has paid off - gr8. length, colour, body & wave ... big hugs cheers CEM. ~~:0)~
Hi CEM,
I do really appreciate your very nice comments! But I must tell you-my patience is wearing thin! I want more length-now! I think in about 2 years it will really be looking nice. Hugs to you as well and please stay well my friend!
Ted
Hey Ted! Looking cool there...You WILL be at waist length before you know it!
Thanks so much for all your encouragement!
(tell me about patience)
All the best... The Spaf Man
Hi Spaf Man,
I apologize for the late reply! I really appreciate your very nice compliments! Waist length is my minimum goal length right now. But I think I will end up trying for classic length. I am glad I can be encouraging to you man! You are doing just fine, keep the patience going and you will be rewarded! Please be well my friend!
Ted
Wonderful progress Ted! Waist length is not going to be any problem!
Bruce
Hi Bruce,
My apologies for the delayed reply! I do really appreciate your very kind comments! I hope waist length isn't a problem! It seems my hair has slowed down nowadays. As long as it keeps growing, I'm happy though! I actually think I want to go for classic length now though! Please stay well my friend!
Ted
Hey Ted! Your hair is looking great! It does seem to be sticking behind your shoulders as you said. I have a feeling your experiencing the same feeling of pulling your hair when you move your head when sitting down as I am!
-Tommy
Hi Tommy,
Thanks so much for youe very kind words! Yes, you are right! My hair is finally starting to lay behind my shoulders better. Especially when it gets oily a few days after a shampoo! And yes, I feel the seat belt in the car pulling on my hair now too! Also, at dialysis they tape the tubing to my shirt and sometimes they get a few hairs caught in it! But it's a good feeling to know we're getting more length! But I still like your hair better! Please stay well my friend!
