Hi, you guys. I've been visiting this message board on and off for about 12 years. That's when I finally decided to grow my hair long. I'd always wanted to do it, but every time my hair got close to shoulder length, I'd get self-conscious and cut it short again. You guys helped me get over that. I posted a couple of times back in the day, but never became a regular.
Just thought I'd jump in and say hello. I just turned 55. My hair is currently almost mid-back in length.
As for hair care, I get regular trims every 3-6 months, depending on what I've been doing. Regular trims keep it looking healthy. My stylist is awesome. A couple of months ago, I told her I wanted to cut it short and she was like, “There's no short hair in this chair!” Love her.
Contrary to most advice, I shampoo and condition almost every day. My hair is fine and my scalp is oily. If I don't wash it, my hair it looks terrible. I use a moisturizing formula because its more gentle on my scalp.
I also use the hairmax laser comb to maintain my hairline. I started using it about twenty years ago. Does it work? Well, I'm 55 and still have a decent hairline, so maybe.
Anyway! That's it for now. Hope you guys are doing well.

Hi BG,
Welcome to the MLHH, glad you’ve found us, and it’s so cool to see another older guy growing his hair out. You have a fantastic mane for 55, and a great hairline, to boot. Thank you for sharing your hair care routine with us, and your stylist sounds like an awesome person as well. I don’t visit stylists myself, but if I had one as good as yours, I would consider it, just to ensure that I’m getting the best hair care possible.
I was wondering whether you had a particular hair goal in mind? I’m sure that you could grow it a lot longer if you wanted to.
I’m also an older guy with long hair, 72, going on 73 in a few months, and am fortunate to have a decent hairline as well. I’m looking forward to your future posts, and please keep us updated.
David
