new thread
Just wanted to say great job on the board, it's really looking good thanks to all the work that obviously went into this change. I miss the old format too it was very nostalgic the way it was. I was finding the old board wouldn't open in chrome any more, hopefully this new format will breathe new life into things and get some new posters.
I've been hanging around since early 2000s, no longer obsessed with doing weekly updates like I used to since my hair has been growing this 3rd time for nearly 11 yrs.
Growth seemed to slow down once it got near belt length, seems to have been at around belt length for ages (my perception/impatience/self trims don't help!!). Shoulder length to midback seemed to take no time (couple of yrs) then to belt length a few more yrs. These new pics indeed indicate it's still growing, if somewhat thinner at the ends. Just wanting to see how much longer it will grow while I still can, I do feel lucky genetically that I can still have this much hair at my age, even if the top/front is not as thick as it used to be and getting quite a v shape at the temples. Can't complain all in all!
Here's a some recent pics I took. They seem huge lol, it's a bit scary? and a bit blurry? Prob my poor camera skills and should have downscaled them sorry.
I haven't trimmed in over 2 yrs just to see how much longer it will get. I just washed it so the ponytail is super gigantic... When I go out it's normally in a bun but sometimes I like to wear a pony tail out which I normally get positive remarks over. If I wear it loose it tends to get quite annoying, stuck in car doors, constantly having to swish it out of the way, sit on it etc and gets all tangled, as well as sometimes scaring the guys when I turn around and they realize I'm a big 50 something hairy guy and not whoever they thought they were looking at.. . anyway that's all part of the fun ha ha! Hope to see more posts soon from new and old!
Hi Matt,
Welcome to our new version of the MLHH, and I’m glad that you stopped in and provided your stunning update with us. Like you, I avoid most of the social media sites, with the exception of a few videos on YouTube, as well as posting a few photos on the FierceFlow community on Reddit.
To say that I am completely blown away is an understatement, and you’ve obviously been blessed genetically. The fact that you can do this is at 50 is further proof of your genetic gift. I’m 72, have a decent head of hair for my age, but my hair can’t hold a candle to yours. My terminal length is stuck at a few inches above waist length.
What’s even more remarkable is achieving this length with curly hair. Curly hair is extremely difficult to grow super long, since the curls, by nature, subtract from the overall length, and it’s only when stretched that the true length is revealed. Your thickness is to die for as well.
I know that in the past, you were maintaining it at belt length or a bit longer. I’m glad that you’re trying to grow it as long as possible, just to see how long it will grow. From what I see, you should be good for at least a few more inches, possibly knee or even ankle length. On further thought, it looks as though it’s to your knees already.
Please don’t be a stranger, and be sure to keep us updated.
David
