And so a spider crawled to my head.. Voila! 2nd Annivesary thread! *pic heavy*

[Cosmic Ant]

It's been a long odyssey to get to this point. From prejudice coming from everywhere (family, college, the streets, society in general) to my mom cutting my hair in a bout of rage. But, all that is behind now. I can say it's been 2 years since I last fed the barber, MWAHAHAHAHA! (I feel for him, I was nice income every month =D)

Now, what everyone wants to see, the pictures! *cheese*

Special thanks to PurpleAshes. None of this would be possible without her infinite support and constant picture taking =D

[EverydayMiracle]

Awesome growth! Long hair totally suits you much better than short.

[silverjen]

Really nice!

[princessp]

Wow awesome! Congratulations!

[Calaelen]

I'm glad you stuck it out despite all the negativity from others regarding your growing. Hair that nice deserves to be long!

[Capybara]

Two years?!?! You must have super fast growth :D Good job!

[ButterflyKissx]

*whistles* that is lovely hair and great job on the growth and such a handsome fella! Long hair really suits!

[Hana212]

Fantastic growth.. Good on you!

[WinterInBloom]

Cosmic Ant, you have some great hair!:D That is seriously a lot of growth for only two years. Your pictures are making me have a nostalgic moment too. Your hair looks a lot like my dad's used to (before he started keeping his head shaved), especially the one of your hair braided. I got to braid his hair one time when I was little and it looked just like that.:)

[RecklessCharlie]

You have excellent hair! Great curl and shine! Congratulations on so much progress!

[bte]

Great hair, great progress and great pics, thanks!

[Yozhik]

Wow, that's really amazing, Cosmic Ant!

Thanks for posting all of those photos -- they really demonstrate the progress well, as well as how vastly different your length is when dry!

Great growth and happy 2-year anniversary.

No way! You grew that much in 2 years? Congratulations! :cheese:

Your growth is outstanding and your hair looks just terrific! Like has been said, you were meant to have long hair.

[kookyjelk]

Your hair looks fantastic, and I'm envious of your growth! I'm gonna show this thread to my husband and maybe it'll inspire him. :D

[Alvrodul]

Your hair is awesome - so shiny and healthy! And those gorgeous curls!:crush:

[KittyLost]

Amazing growth and great shine!

[Shellby]

Gorgeous hair! Those curls deserve to be grown long. Jealous of them. :) Congrats.

[Sagi1982]

Wow, shiny, pretty curls...

[PurpleAshes]

Hey handsome, congrats on your 2nd anniversary :D I'm glad you're finally getting where you want with your hair - and with really awesome hair at that - You already know I love the length, curl and shine! To many inches more! *toast*

[adiapalic]

Congratulations! What beautiful progress!:flower:

[BritishBraider]

wow. Stunning and amazing. Congratulations!

[Anywhere]

I love the curls, and the color! I've always wanted dark hair. I'm glad you were persistent and grew it out, it looks wonderful. :)

[Cosmic Ant]

Sorry for the delayed reply, but I lack the means to communicate from my house, a.k.a. I have no PC T_T

Thank you all for the nice comments. k you gals and guys liked it ^_^

@Growth
PurpleAshes always said I had great growth, but I never really gave it much thought =P Lucky me =D

@Cristo Comments
Happy you liked it =P I was trying to prove to my mother, who’s pretty religious, that crazy people aren’t the only ones with long hair =)

Glad to bring back good memories of your life :)

Hopefully it will be a succesful attempt =D Good luck with that!


Good growth in 2 years; congratulations! But I didn't see a spider.

She hid in the front =P

[Feng-Shui]

Congratulations on the anniversary.:toast:

Your hair is very beautiful and shining.:applause

Thank you :cheese:

Not yet =P But I still love her very much ^_^

She's the person who invited me to the LHC, PurpleAshes (http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/member.php?u=17482)

[EleanorRigby]

OMG, your hair as growing so much since you have start, and look thick and healthier congrants, the long hair on man looks really pretty :)

[LisaMonster]

Woooooow what gorgeous shiny curly hair! You are cuuuute!

[darkwaves]

Wonderful shine and waves!

I don't know what your goal is for curls vs length, but several of your pictures made me wonder if you aren't really at least 3b. (The first, 08, has amazing root-level curls, and several others also have very strong curls... the It one among them.)

Not knowing what your routine actually is, I wonder whether a very slight change might not make you a curly wonder! (I don't think you really are 2c/3a.... Hope that's okay -- and for what it's worth, I covet your curl potential!!!)

[Purdy Bear]

Stunning hair, Im gobsmacked!

[Octave]

Wow that is some gorgeous long hair! Good job :D

Congratulations on your anniversary ~ You've got beautiful hair and great growth. I've always loved seeing long hair on men. :)

[JuneBride]

Have you been trimming at all???

Congrats!!!!!!!!!!

[Druid of Alba]

[Anadyomene]

Congratulations your hair is beautiful. It really suites you.

I only brush everything into a ponytail. It's been a while since I just let them air dry, so I'm not really certain of how much difference it'll make. I'll make sure to do it some time soon, and post some pics so I can be hairtyped=D


Stunning hair, Im gobsmacked!

Woot ^_^


Wow that is some gorgeous long hair! Good job :D

Thanks! =D


I understand you.:)

The young lady and you are a very beautiful pair.:flower:

Congratulations on your anniversary ~ You've got beautiful hair and great growth. I've always loved seeing long hair on men. :)

Tusen tack! Hoppas du får se mycket mer! (Hope you get to see a lot more!)


Congratulations your hair is beautiful. It really suites you.


It looks so much nicer long!
I love it!

Glad that you like it =D I agree with both of y'all =p


Have you been trimming at all???

Congrats!!!!!!!!!!

Well, just recently I've started to S & D (never thought it could be so much fun cutting those pesky fairy knots =p) but other than that, no. I don't get splits, so trimming isn't really necessary.

[PurpleAshes]

I understand you.:)

The young lady and you are a very beautiful pair.:flower:

Thanks so much, I really apreciate the compliment :blossom:
