5 years of growing- Now at tailbone!

[Shadow Walker]

Hi everyone, I haven't been around the boards much lately, and it's been a couple months since I've posted an update.I've had a major growth spurt since my trim in March, and my hair has grown about 2 inches, maybe more. It's now roughly my 5 year anniversary since I started growing (I can't remember when I started exactly, sometime during the summer of '05), and I'm now at tailbone length! I couldn't have done it without all the help and support of everyone here, so from the bottom of my heart, thank you! Here's some pictures of my growth over the last few years since I joined LHC, it's really been growing fast.

[Calista]

Amazing hair, Shadow Walker! I´m glad you didn´t cut.

And congratulations on your five year anniversary. :cheer:

[StarryNight]

Your hair is amazing! I always said I didn't like long hair on men, but I think I'm converted! Woe that more men with long hair do not take care of it.

[Loreley]

:thud: Beautiful!

[Siava]

I've always been envious of your hair, Shadow Walker. It looks FANTASTIC!

I've been drooling over your hair since I joined this site, Shadow Walker. It's truly gorgeous! I'm glad you didn't cut, too. :)

[Shadow Walker]

Thanks everyone for the kind words! :D I'm very happy, can't wait to get to classic length now.

[HappyHair87]

:shocked:

EPICAL AWESOMENESS!!!...epical is a word right?? who cares...if u can say it, it is!!.... BUT YES YOU HAVE BEAUTIFUL HAIR!!! :cheese:


Now show us what you can do with all of it!:D

[restourceful]

Congratulations, Shadow Walker! I've got just three words for your hair: a. maz. ing. Add me to the :thudpile:

[Neoma]

OMG, your hair is so beautiful. It was beautiful at BSL (so to speak) and it's jaw-droppingly stunning now. Your hemline is perfect.

I know that you were enduring some flack about your hair from coworkers at one point. Has that gotten better?

[spidermom]

I am so glad that you didn't cut it because your long hair looks phenomenal.

[2peasinapod]

Your hair is amazing! :thud:

It looks great at every length (such a thick hemline!), and I cant wait to see how it looks as it gets even longer! :D

[Fiferstone]

Hi Shadow Walker, Fantabulous hair you've got, I am so glad you didn't give in to the urge to cut it a few months back, just a few more inches to classic, and next stop...DaveDecker territory :rockerdud:

[Naamah]

Your hair is amazing!

[Teazel]

Congratulations - you have seriously great hair! :bigeyes:

[30isthenewblack]

I'm so glad that you stuck it out and you didn't succumb to pressure to cut your hair. It's seriously one of the best heads of hair that I've ever seen on a male. Usually, I see long hair on a male that is long but very unkept and unhealthy.

[GoddesJourney]

I'm so glad you didn't cut way back when. Your hair is quite an achievement. It looks like it will be a long time before you reach terminal given the thickness of your ends. Rock on!

[GlennaGirl]

Gosh, that is THUD-WORTHY. Beautiful hair, ShadowWalker!

[Shadow Walker]

Thanks again everyone! :)

Neoma, everything has been good for awhile, there hasn't been any other incidents. The guys at work don't say anything anymore, and strangers seem to be complimenting me on it more than ever. :D

[Elenna]

What truly beautiful hair you have.

[Tangerine]

You have beautiful hair, and it is so eye-wateringly healthy and shiny! Well done! Looks like you won't have any problems making it to Classic and beyond!

[KBG]

Most excellent! Congrats!

[maskedrose]

Whoohoo! Congratulations! It looks fantastic :D Hope everything is going well for you this year!

[JamieLeigh]

Happy 5 years, and congrats on hitting tailbone! I'm soooo happy you did not cut as you had posted you were considering. I know you're not here to color my world.....but I do appreciate that you do color it a bit. :flower: Your hair is amazing, and so healthy and cared-for!!

[Marika]

Congratulations - you have my dream hair!:heartbeat

[Night_Kitten]

Happy anniversary and congrats on making it to tailbone! :D
Such a full and healthy hair with no tapering, and your hemline is super thick :crush:

[Juanita]

Congratulations That is so beautiful

[FrannyG]

Congratulations on a fabulous milestone and on 5 years of amazing growth. Since you joined, I've always said that you have one of the best heads of hair on LHC, and it's only gotten better and better in the past 3 years. Those thick ends! :thud:

Thank you for sharing these photos and for being a part of this community. :flower:

I'm really happy that you stuck it out during the tough times. :)

[Idun]

Wow! That is amazing growth! Very beautiful! :bowtome:

[Drynwhyl]

Are you now glad you didn't cut it back when you were going through hard times? :)
It is absolutely stunning. I must show it to my DBF as an inspiration, he's around waist and has hair similar to yours.

[Ansaphone]

You have great hair! I agree on one author before me, long hair on men mostly looks ugly because it is unkept, but wow, this looks gorgeous.

[MerryKat]

Congratulations - Your hair is magnificent.

[Neoma]

Thanks again everyone! :)

Neoma, everything has been good for awhile, there hasn't been any other incidents. The guys at work don't say anything anymore, and strangers seem to be complimenting me on it more than ever. :DI'm glad to hear that, Shadow Walker. The bullies probably gave up when they realized that you were going to do what you wanted regardless. Good for you! And nah nah na nah na to the bullies!:p

[Oberon88]

Gorgeous! Congrats!

[Hana]

thats some inspirational stuff right there.
im suffering from a case of the jealousies.

[Lamb]

I'm joining the :thudpile: ! Your hair looks wonderful, I'm glad you didn't cut. Happy Anniversary!

[lhangel9]

Your hair is soooooo beautiful! Thanks for sharing. Now the big question is: "How did you do it?!!? There must be some vitamin/herb/supplement, etc. regime. Come on now what's your secret? By the way, congratulations on being an LHC member. I haven't been here as long as most of the great LHC's (including yourself), but Congrats anyway!

[Lykaios]

*thudthudthudthudthud*

Nice hair! I love your hemline.

[Rennire]

Wow. Just wow.
It's perfect! :)

[Cereus]

Great hair Shadow Walker! And so healthy. My mom used to lament that 'guys always have the best hair'.

[cmcwell]

Amazing hair!

[bte]

Fantastic! A real inspiration to us all.

[Sunny_side_up]

WOW!! Fab growth and such stunning healthy hair:cheese:

[LittleOrca]

Congrats Shadow. :) You are SO one of my hair idols. :crush:

[talecon]

you have really beautiful thick hair **jealous** :p

[Shadow Walker]

Again, I can't thank everyone enough for all the kind words. :D

lhangel9, I don't really have a routine. I don't take supplements or anything, I shower every day, and I try to be gentle when combing. That's about it really.

[Holly9192]

:agape:thats incredible! so healthy looking!

[Cailie]

Beautiful !!
do you trim ? (if so, how often ?)

happy growing :)

[Starr]

*sigh* I have some major hair envy.;)

Congratulation on 5 years of growth!:rockerdud:flowers:

[Ladyskritek]

WOW! Talk about inspiring not only to the females but definitely to the males! I have seen some long haired guys with great manes but yours takes the cake! Congrats on the growth and enjoy your lovely locks!

[SpecialKitty]

Your hair is amazing Shadow Walker! Beautiful length, shine, color, and incredible growth. It just looks GREAT! Congratulations and it's nice to have you on the boards :applause

[cardamom]

Congratulations!:)

[Calaelen]

Mine is weird, but I found it so flattering. I recently spent some time in the hospital ER, over 24 hours in total. I was covered in huge hives, and having a really serious Auto Immune related episode.
I hadn't brushed my hair in about 2 days and it was falling out of a hasty up-do I'd stuck it in while sick. Basically I looked awful and my hair looked worse.
Late in the evening I was asked to switch rooms, and when the nurses where talking about me amongst themselves, I heard them referring to me as "the one with the long hair" I found it so flattering that it was my hair they noticed and not the hives, or my heart rate, or even my room number, which is how nurses usually refer to someone (as a condition, or room number). I took it as a sign that my hair really is getting noticeably long :)

[RecklessCharlie]

Awesome hair you have there sir! Congratulations on all the progress :)

[Tressie]

Thud-worthy for sure!!! :thudpile: Just great hair!!! :bounce:
