new thread
Hey all,
It's been a while. Was riding my motorcycle out in the sandhills of Nebraska this last weekend when an older lady behind the counter at a COOP gas station had a fascination with my hair. Also been getting a lot of comments online from folks recently. I never show my face on the www, so most of the photos on the web are from behind (or with my face obscured). They (the online folks) have begun to argue with me that I'm a lady -- when I'm not... so that got me to wondering where things stood on "the journey" (hair growing journey) as of late. Been half a year or so since I've taken a real photo like this one here (attached)... so here it is ;p . Was pretty surprised to see that the length has finally hit mid-back -- which is a new milestone for me :) ... guess taking better of my hair does pay off in the long run xD .....
Anywho, hope all of you are well, groovin' along in life and are enjoying this new renaissance of long-haired guys that I/we see all the time now ^_^ . Guess that we've all been men of long-haired pioneers - est. since the late '80s hahah (depending on age, fashion and period at time... some fashions a lot more short-lived than others and the late '80s - at least for me, seems like the real last time when short hair was a big mainstay, really ^_~ .....)~
Sincerely,
yoshiki :)
Hi yoshiki,
I'm fascinated with long hair as well. Your hair looks great! Congrats on mid-back length :) It's nice to read your thoughts on the fashion trends :) Keep it growing.
Fascination, yes but also envy. I wish I had hair like yours.
Keep growing, it looks great.
great hair. i think long hair on men is more socially acceptable. i let mine grow past my shoulders 2018 - 2020. i loved having a pony tail, yet a little nervous about it in public. i cut it off, jan 2021,resented it a few days later. another hair cut dec 2021. letting it grow again. prb have my pony tail back by end of summer. this time i will wear it in public with pride.
You look handsome,
I am now old enough to have seen, the first long hair trends, with the Beatles, and later the first hippies, and long hair presumingly going out of fashion in the eighties.
Grunge, and Metal, then LOTR fans, and even Versailles back in 2015, may have justified more men to try long hair.
Today, at 63 I still have long hair, and that since 1979, and I admire those who are consistant about keeping thair hair long, not just a tourist in the long hair journey.
Keep it growing :)
Wow. Yoshiti, your hair looks clean & healthy. What is your goal length?
Hey, thank you much for the kind words ^^ ! The goal? Wherever I can get my hair to :) (in other words, as long as I can ;p heh~). ^_^
I have a social media account where I post photos of me on my motorcycle — showing open vistas, etc., of my home state (and a rather well-unknown state at that… thus why I take photos of it ;p ). Photography a passion and perhaps a new career. The pandemic has caused me to rethink life a bit — what really makes me happy and has allowed me to follow a dream I’ve always had - maybe ☺️ . Like all things online, I try/tend to stay incognito there… that’s where people have recently started to argue with me en-masse about my gender (I’m a guy, darn it -_- ). Don’t show my face, so guess I’m asking for it. Ah well - anywho, a photo of my hobby is attached (here), taken last autumn :) .
