I've been watching this site for a while now but never posted anything. Haven't had a haircut since decades so I belong here. I was born as a longhair ;) and trim it myself when I think that it is necessary.
It's fun, isn't it, trimming one's own hair -- for me it is, anyway. That way I can do it as infrequently or as often as I like (including cutting as little amount as I'd like).
For the past several years, I've been enjoying my hair at terminal length, only trimming off the split ends whenever I see some. I use the "Search & Destroy" approach, looking at my hair ends next to a sunny window, then snipping the individual hair ends that show damage of some kind. I find it to be a very peaceful & relaxing thing to do -- and the nicest part of the chore is that I'm not left in shock afterwards (like when I go in for a professional trim, and the hairstylist takes off more length than I had asked for).
Welcome to MLHH, Mr. Barefoot!

Thanks for welcoming me Ken.
I've always been unhappy with hairdressers so I stopped wasting money for that. At work i wear - no not footwear - a ponytail because it's more comfortable especially when it's hot.
I regret not having begun to grow my hair when I was a child. I didn't dare. This picture shows me being half as old as today. Ok, you can't call it a haircut but I liked it. :-)
Born this way? It's natural and normal to have long hair. Having short hair is actually the odd approach.
Yes, somehow. I always liked long hair. There was a time when I was not allowed to. Later I didn't dare. But I never changed my mind.
Welcome, Barefoot. I'm new here myself. I like the way you were photographed, so that you can see your hair in the front and back. I've just started letting mine grow, so it will be a while before it is anywhere near your length. I'm finding a lot of inspiration here. Thanks for posting the photo.
All the best,

Hello Marx.
Thank you for welcoming me. There are still far too few long haired guys so I thought it would be a good idea to make a posting here. The more we are the better. :-)
