Hi everyone,
It's been nice reviewing the recent messages and glad to see some uptick in posts :) You all are wonderful and I love this community of long haired guys.
It's time for my monthly update. The tips can almost (but not quite) reach my upper lip - which is the next milestone I am excited about. Still a work in progress, but every day of growth makes me a little bit happier :D
Hope everyone is well!

Hi Philip,
You’re making great progress, and your hair is growing quickly. Not too many more months to go until your hair reaches your chin, with a ponytail in the near future after that.
On a side note, when I was exploring the early site, in addition to finding my first photos(October 11, 2006), I noticed several earlier ones of you as well. You went by a different name then, Aeyrim, and your hair was awesome, thick, fairly straight, and probably mid back length. You posted several photos on October 31, 2006. They resembled your current avatar, and that’s why I recognized that it was you. Hopefully, you will be able to reach that length again, or even longer. I even commented on one of your posts at the time, mentioning how much faster your hair grew compared to mine.

(Btw, my first photo here was awful, and I’m referring to the front photo, with quite a frightful expression, so please don’t laugh too hard if you see it.)
Thanks, David! I appreciate the encouragement! Some days I do feel like I am making good progress, others it feels stagnant. Kind of depends on the mood of the day I guess. I'm excited to reach my chin-length, it will feel like a real milestone. I am guessing 4-6 months, which isn't that long in the grand scheme of things.
Yeah i used to post a lot back in the mid 2000s, and I did post as Aeyrim back then. I miss and regret cutting my hair, but, alas, here I am.
I need to dig through the archives to see what's there - I don't think my hair will ever look that good again, but hopefully not too far off. I did lift my current profile pic from an old post here, so that's why it looks familiar.
Thanks again for the positive feedback!

Hi Philip,
With reference to your historical photos from near November 1, 2006, I remember how impressed I was with your growth rate at that time. I had just joined a month or so earlier, and saw that you had started in Spring 2004, the same time as me, and already seemed to be at mid back length. It was hard to tell exactly, because not all of your hair fit the your photos. My hair, for the same amount of growth time, was applied 4-6 inches shorter than yours.
It’s too bad that you didn’t grow it out to its full potential back then, when you were in your 30s. I’m sure that you could have achieved waist length easily.
Once you reach your goal of mid back length this time, if your hair is still gaining length, I hope that you will consider growing it further to see what your terminal length actually is. You may be pleasantly surprised!
David
