can now tuck tail in jean's back pocket
Hi Karsten,
Your hair looks really healthy. I am glad you achieve your milestone. It looks like you trim your hair. How often do you go for trims? I am reaching belt length myself, but I may trim about 3 inches soon.

Thanks Darrin, I get the ends trimmed every 7-8 weeks, my real goal is knee-length if terminal will allow.
Karsten,
Please excuse my previous bad grammar! I think you will be able to achieve knee-length. You still have plenty of thickness. This is most likely due to you regularly trimming. Good Luck and keep growing!
Darrin
I'm curious how you can tell he trims?
I trim mine about once a year, mainly because I like the ends to be all the same length, instead of a million different lengths like it would be if I didn't trim. It doesn't grow any faster if I trim or not; same rate as always. I do however *notice* new growth quickly after a trim, but that's only because its now all the same length and any additional length is easy to see.
Hi Todd,
I can tell by the thickness and condition. What you said is true in my opinion. If you don't trim, you will wind up with hair that is different lengths. Your rate most likely does not change. However, by trimming you keep your hair one length for a time, and you increase the thickness. Since all of your hairs grow at different rates and times, trimming will even them out. If they all grew at the same time and rate, we would loose all the old hairs at once. We would then be bald, until they grew in again. I hope this did not bore you.

Great to hear from you....miss your exotic nature updates.
Lookin' good....Thanks for sharing
Thanks, I miss getting out on the trails ... maybe next year.
Very cool.
thanks, I saw a guy somewhere on the net tuck his hair into the back pocket - but his mane was longer.
Wow! This is impressive. Sure hope to do the same in 3 years (I'm at lower back now). Hope you'll reach knee length...I'd love to do the same...
thanks, and good luck to you in achieving more length
Karsten, that's fantastic! I can't imagine having hair that long, but who knows? I'm going to let it keep growing until it won't grow any longer or until it becomes a hassle. Time will tell.

you'll love the hassles of having longhair - just recently I got my mane somehow caught in a seam of a metal shopping cart - not really sure how that happened.
Good luck in your journey!
Congrats for the milestone!! Very inspirational, thanks for the update.
thanks, I appreciate the compliment
This is just awesome!
I am green with envy LOL ;)
My mane is down to the shoulder blades
Your segmented ponytail looks absolutely fabulous
btw, how long did it take you to reach this length ?
Take care!
took about 12 years to get to this length, but I did have a setback about 5 years ago - here's a photo of it out of the back pocket
Wow, awesome length dude.
Congrats! Looks great

thanks Oren, I never did accomplish much in the beard department of which I am so envious of you and others
AWESOME, Karsten, just absolutely spectacular!!!!!
Wish I could grow mine that long, but my terminal length seems to stop just past my belt-line. I'm grateful for the hair that I do have, though; so not going to whine about it (LOL)....
Please do keep us updated here, as it's always great hearing from you!!

Waist-length is something to be proud of. I had thought I reached terminal at waist but then my hair just started to get longer. Now, I would like to get to knee-length. Good to hear from you.
Still gorgeous and still great!
thanks so much for the compliment ... it's greatly appreciated
