I have been sneaking in that list since a few days and find it quite interesting to compare the solutions that are posted here for several of the problems encounter when a men want to have its hairs long. Apparently we are living in an evolved society but the opening on the diversity is yet not very large.
As a transgender I am confronted with all kind of rejects and I have to hide my real personality at the job of course. Never the less I have decided last year to please myself and let my hairs grow long, very long
as I always dream them to be. I had more difficulties in the beginning when they where "in between" of course but now that they have reach enough length to be attached in a neat pony tail (the tail is about 8 inches now), it is apparently more accepted as I always attached them tight and clean. The more I look every where and the more I am noticing that there are a lot of men with pony tail (ether short or long).
My goal is to have them down to my buts one day (if they can) and for this reason I am taking a great care of them so they will look good at that length. I also am taking special natural vitamins (Nutricap) to help the grow rate and the health of hairs. Apparently it is very efficient (actually they are growing at a rate of about an inch per month).
I can't wait to see them be very long and I'm so proud to have break that barrier established for men about the length of their hairs. It has raise my moral significantly and, except for some close minded jerks, peoples are finding that very OK (can't please every body, huh?). I think the trick is to have them clean and well styled all the time to avoid being judge negatively.
Don't give up, the more long hairs we will be the more the society will integrate that as it has done for so many other things that looked impossible from the beginning.
