Thanks LHC for encouraging me to keep my hair!

Just wanted to post and say thanks for the suggestions from the community here, and for the compliments. I was seriously cutting my hair short for the first time in 10 years or so back in June and posted here. I took the advice here to not be rash and to add a bit of variability to my routine and see if that helped, and it certainly did. I actually enjoyed mixing up styles and trying out some new things other than a ponytail (managed to go ponytail free for all of July), and throwing people for a bit of a loop was an added bonus. I am definitely glad that I didn't cut as I'm certain it would have been a mistake and am glad you guys encouraged me to have a bit of fun with my hair. I'll definitely stop by here from time to time going forward.

Any way just wanted to say thanks for the advice and for the positive feedback! I do get nice comments from time to time, but I think being a guy generally throws people off when it comes to complimenting hair etc. There are tons of awesome manes here and best of luck with your growing!

Here's a picture of it down, though I never wear it loose.

That's a real gorgeous mane! It's so good to hear you're enjoying it!

Keep it up

Stunning hair. I remember when you were thinking of cutting it. I'm so glad you didn't.

Wow, your hair is fabulously stunning - and I'm glad you learned new ways to wear it and decided not to cut! Cutting is so easy - but the regrets after doing so can last a very long time. Just stunning hair you have there

Really, David, your hair is to die for. It has all what is desirable in hair : amazing thickness, wonderful shine, perfect thick hemline that shows a huge potential for stunning growth. It looks super well taken care of, and I don't even mention the rich dark color and beautiful texture !... *(Mimha in awe)*

You are blessed with great hair genes and it would be a pity not to enjoy it to its full potential. You don't know how many girls would sell father and mother to get your hair !... And you know, I'm not the one to distribute compliments just for the sake of it : I am very particular about hair. My compliments only go to genuine things.

When you have doubts, just come here and post a pic !!

It looks like you have such good thick hair, and you don't see that around that much, I mean *really* thick. It would be a shame to cut that short, it would even be awful, because hair that thick that short is a *mess* and would need to be thinned out not to look atrocious. Ask me how I know... and my hair's not even that thick.

I'm glad you learned new styles. It's simply glorious hair.

Oh my gosh! Thank you, hair that gorgeous should be allowed to grow grow grow! So jealous of that hemline.

I love when I see guys with long hair out in the wild,it just makes me happy. I always think "yessss!" I just think it speaks to a strong character and a big ol' eff ya to societal norms and constraints. You go be you, be awesome!
