Hey :)
Just wanted to share my delight - I was on my way into work yesterday, and had the car windows down cos it was such a hot day. My hair was blowing all over the place - something I've just been getting used to - and when I stopped outside work, I gave my hair a quick run through with my fingers, pushing it back out of my eyes...
...and it stayed behind my ears :) Soooo glad I can do something else now than just suffer the curtains stage! I'll take pictures ASAP and post them... in a week I'll have been growing 6 months, so when I get a break from work I'll get them up to show you.
Just want to say thanks again to everyone for the constant support and advice. Much appreciated !

Great News Wolfeyes! You're clearly well on your way to longhair. :-)
You can put your hair behind your ears after 6 months? I hate you. Well not really, but damn if my hair doesn't take twice as long as everyone else's to do anything cool.

Don't stress, man.
Your hair is much wavier than mine - it'll probably take that bit of extra time, but you'll have great texture and style to your hair when it's longer, whereas mine'll probably be really boring as it's mostly straight.
Keep growing man!

I am envious. Even though my hair is plenty long enough, it is way too thick and full to stay behind my ears (I would need Prince Charles' ears for that to work!). I either have to tie it back, or put up with the curtains of hair falling down around my face.
Same with me *howl*
Anyway, congrats Wolfeyes, this is a great achievement, you're doing well!
Thanks for sharing. (And it only gets better and more exciting as you go along.........."Awkward Stage" or not.)
You just won't believe what only 6 months more growth will bring as you pass through different phases.
And, when you finally arrive.............it is like Heaven to the true Longhair.
Keep it growin.................
Hey man.
Well, I must say, you are growing faster than me, probably the fastest hair grower on this board! It's excellent news to hear you can put your bangs behind your ears, that's really impressive for 6 months? In your last progress pics, you said you had been growing for 5 months so far, but now you are saying 6 months, and it hasn't been a month sinse your last progress pics?
I have tried putting my bangs behind my ears, the hair just about touches the ears, but I just need another half an inch to keep it there for it to curl and stay there.
Best of luck
Well I have to say, the hair is just staying there - any agitation and it'll fall loose again. But at least when I'm watching tv it's not through a veil.
I'm just approaching 6 months - on the 8th or 9th of June... think my last progress update was a little late too :S
But I don't think you're far behind at all - my hair is only just sitting behind my ears - must be cos they're very flat to my head or something.
Keep up the good work man :)
