Been lurking here for quite a few months now, so I figure it's about time to post.
So I'm Doug. Not the same as the other person with the handle Doug. I'll be using this one. My hair's currently about 4-5 inches below the top of my shoulders, and I've been growing it for around a year and a half now. At my high school (I'm 16) I'm probably the male with the longest hair, surprisingly. I'm not sure whether to say the town I live in is conservative or not, because it's rather a mix of both in ways.
Around two years ago I had an undercut, with the top of my hair around mid-ear level. My mother persuaded me to get it cut for the summer, and I don't remember feeling all that much regret at the time.. I guess I'm a bit more into it now, though, or it wouldn't be this long.
I'm not sure how long I want my hair to get, but I do know it's gonna be longer than this. I'll post some pictures in a couple days, because right now it's not exactly in the best of shape due to swimming twice in the past three days.
Great board here, guys. Lots of helpful advice that's kept me moving on with my long hair.
Welcome to the board, nice to see another lurker join the ranks, hope to see you around and we look forward to seeing the pics.
