Hi, everyone my name is chadd(yes with two d's). Ive always loved hair and tryed to grow it several times throughout my years(im 30 now).But never been able to over come the ackward stage or job or even girl friends(shame on me). But, this board is great im definently growing my hair and i mean it this time!!!! This message board is such a great inspiration. I just want to thank everyone for thier postings, i get inspired and excited to finally really do it. The longest i got it before was to my chin, But that was when the grunge thing was in and i shaved under it(big mistake). Im going to really grow it this time thanks to all the inspiration from you all..
Ive only been growing it since Dec. 1st from a shaved sides and half inch top, so i got a long way to go!!!!!
P.S. im going to hide the shaver!!!!!!
Thanks everyone,
Chadd
Absolutely! For me too, this board has been an inspiration. I've gotten well into the awkward stage many times but that's when I cut it because my hair's just SO thick. I thought about cutting it again recently but these guys just say 'let it grow and it will settle' so I'm gonna ride out the storm. What I'm saying is: if I can do it, anyone can!! Good luck.

Hey Chadd, that's great! I'm also 30 and growing my hair out. A few times in the past I've attempted to, but my efforts were always thwarted by others. But this time I'm not letting anyone dissuade me. This is fun, isn't it?!
I'm about six months into letting my hair grow from a rather short haircut, and I agree, it's a long process. Not sure if you read about hair vitamins, there's a post on it a bit further down (under celebrity hair I think) as well as in some of the information sections or links of this website. I just started taking some a week ago, can't say for sure if they work (too early to know for sure) but other guys have apparently taken them and thier hair grew faster.
Good luck!
Theres a lot of talk about hair vitamins not working.
I've been growing my hair since sept when I last had it cut. Started taking the hair vitamins a couple of months ago, they take a bit of time to start to work, but they have increased my growth rate. Taken a few pictures for a picture diary but there ain't enough to post yet.
Vitamins do help, its just a shame I have to import them from America to Britain.
Chris, which vitamin(s) did you take, and how long was it before they started to work? Also, how much do you think they helped?
I've been taking Nourishair by GNC for about one week now. I was going to give it one month to see if it worked (that's about how much of a supply came in the bottle). Then I'll decide if I keep buying it.
Glad to see other guys in their 30s growing out their hair. I am 31. Have not had a haircut for 13 months. This board has saved me several times. With thick, curly hair, I hear I have about another 6 to 12 months to get out of the awkward stage. Email me or post here if you want any advice from me. Thanks! Tim
Hi Chadd,
Well there's a lot of us that started form really short cuts too... I started from about 1 inch on top, now I'm at almost 8 inches and its 12 months since I started growing. I'm 25 myself... if you ask around you'll find that it doesn't matter what age you are, if you wanna grow your hair then your gonna do it..
Good Luck man... keep with it... Xmas next year you'll be well pleased with the results.
