After procrastinating for over a year, I finally got hubby to snap a picture of my hair.  The camera doesn't show all the grey.  ;D  The waves are mostly from being in a bun, but I do have some natural wave as well.

Thank you for sharing that.

Bikerbraid,

  Your hair is absolutely gorgeous!  I love the color and the length and the thickness!  Very, very, very beautiful indeed!!!  We need to see more pics now!  Is that the longest your hair has ever been?

Jim

Beautiful as ever!  I can only dream of my hair being that length.

Simply gorgeous!  ;D

Thank you all ::blush::

I will admit that my hair looks better in this picture than I had imagined.  :-X

Jim, the longest my hair has ever been was about 6 inches longer than this picture, just a few months ago.  In previous long hair growths, I had grown it to waist length, but never beyond that.

I love it, BB!  I don't know if it's just the outdoor lighting, but the "honey-ness" of the color is just beautiful!  

So very, very pretty.. thanks for sharing.  :D

Bikerbraid,

  Six inches longer!  WOW! Your hair is so very beautiful...I am really impressed!  Thanks for posting such a great picture.  I am soooh jealous of you beautiful hair........If mine would only grow so long.

Jim;
Just remember, women tend to have longer terminal lengths than men.  Your length is already exceptionally long for a man - you should be proud of your accomplishment.  

Are you measuring your hair - is it still gaining length month to month?  Or maybe measuring 4 x's a year is a better indicator.  You might be surprised that your hair is still growing.  Mine took a a long rest at about tailbone.  I swore it did not grow at all for about 6 months.  Then the ends got very thin, but they were growing.  That's why I had 6 inches trimmed - I didn't like how they looked being sooooo thin and wispy.  They were also hard to keep in a braid.  I like my ends much better now.  ;D

Absolutely beautiful,BB!  The shine and color are great!

:o :o Woooooooooooooooooooooooow!! *low whistle*

I showed it to my aunt, mom, and my uncle's wives. They all said-and i quote- "*gasp* beautiful!!" yup that's our mod ;D ;)

;D ;D

Thanks for making my day!

BB I LOVE your hair!!  I think this is the first time I've seen it down, except in your avatars.  I think you should post big pics more often!  You have the perfect sized waves.  Those are the kinds I'd like to get, but my hair is too straight. Maybe I need to try sock curls..

Bikerbraid, is it my imagination, or did you change your avitar today?  The photo is wonderful, by the way!

Caught me!  ;D

My old avatar was 2 years old - I figured it was time for an update.

Holy cow, BB!!  :o

Your hair is gorgeous!!! Brilliant work!  :D

Wow Bb. I swear that we have the same hair type (mine is a little darker thought) I'm almost to your length! I have found my inspiration! Stunning!

Btw, AngelSpun, are you a fan of "Otherland" I couldn't help but notice your avatar ;).

Oh wow, that is so beautiful. It looks really, really healthy. The ends of your hair have as much health and volume as the roots! I'm trying to do the same with mine! Unfortuanetly the ends of my hair are going dry and brittle, causing split ends. Need to have probably 2 inches cut off to stop it spreading.
But yours is gorgeous! :D

:::blush:::  I'm not sure I am worthy of all this praise.  The ends look thick and healthy because of the 6 inch trim  I had not too long ago.  The waves make my hair look much thicker than it really is.  But for an aging blonde, I am greatful for the thickness that I have.

Thank you all - your compliments help encourage me to keep my hair growing.

Robin,

  Just keep on blushing then!  Your hair looks great!  It looks so thick and so beautiful.....and you recently cut 6 inches?  Please post more pics of your gorgeous hair for all of us.  Thanks.

Jim

Lovely!  Just lovely!   :D

My goodness! I'm speechless! There is nothing I can write to describe what I see.  :o

:o

:o

Still speecless  ;D

The whole picture here; the hair, the pretty lady; the pose, the balcony with the drop-off, the background of a never ending peaceful valley...

I am unworthy to be able to view this heavenly scene as a mere mortal rodent.

awwwww ratty - you're so sweet.   :-*
That picture was taken on our deck off the back of the house.  We have no backyard, so to speak, as it drops down into a park that also has a woods.  We have oak trees in our yard that makes it feel like our deck is a tree house.  It is one of my favorite places to sit and relax.  (At least as long as the squirrels don't drive us nutty with their squawkling and chattering.)  The colors in the fall are gorgeous when the maple trees in the park turn bright yellow and orange.

I'm still speechless. That's one of those peace and tranquility type pictures that stay with you. I could have sworn you were older than me, but not looking at that!

Have to second guess here. I thought you were older than me... but are you? I would guess early 30's looking at the fullness and color of your locks.

Now if you would ... uh.. uh  ... pretty please...  repeat this pose showing the fall colors you describe when they appear...uh... well that would be a real treat for an old aging rat. Orange and yellow would go with your color perfectly. ;D ;D ;D

Rats look rediculous when begging. My maple does the yellow thing in front with an occaisional brigth red leaf. The nut tree does the most brilliant bright red.

Sir Rat,

I am quite sure that I AM older than you.  The lighting on this picture seems to disguise the grey in my hair.  ;D

I will try to catch the fall colors, if the colors, weather and hubby all cooperate!

I think the Fall is God's way of taking a paint brush with all different colors on it at different times and painting the leaves!!  I'm so glad I was born in the fall,I don't think I would have liked it any other way.  (Like I had a choice in the matter ::) )

BB, just beautiful!  

oh i hadn't seen this one yet! your hair seems transformed, the ends filled in nicely. oh a little trim can do wonders sometimes. (psst, i trimmed at least 10" this year!)  :) [smiley=thumbup.gif]

I've just spotted this one!  BB your hair is sooo different from when I last saw it!  It's stunning  :-*

Very beautiful!  I hope mine gets that long!!   :)

Lynn

Lovely! ;)

Thank you!
