: Hi,
: I'm a newbie and recent convert from severe crew cuts. I found this forum and appreciate this space of freedom from the dictates of a certain "retro" fashion. I hated haircuts as a kid!
: My name is Anthony Chadwick, English and living in France. I last cut my hair about three months ago, and I have made the decision to go for long hair. I am very encouraged that there are communities for guys to support each other and exchange information. I have the whole way to go from 3-inch hairs on all parts of my head. I ought to do OK as I�m not balding and have straight thick hair, very grey but it�s all there.
: Here's the tiny amount of progress so far:

: There are quite a few longhairs here in France. It's a fairly free country in this way. Only today, I saw a man in his 70�s with a little bun doing his shopping in the supermarket, and I thought he was very courageous.
: I am married, and the decision came from my wife�s question about when I was going to get a haircut. I said �No, I�m going to grow it�. She took it well, but I didn�t say how long I would go. My present idea is to go to about between the shoulder blades, good ponytail and bun length.
: There it is. I work as a translator, mainly in technical fields and industry. I have interests like sailing, cycling, DIY, gardening and reading. I won't be writing here very much, but I'll keep looking in now and again.
: And I'll send some more pictures when my hair gets a little more respectable...
Hi Anthony,
Welcome to the board! You have come to the right place for much inspiration in growing your hair! It is very nice to hear France has many long haired guys! I do believe your nice gray hair would look awesome at shoulder blade length!
I must say you remind me of your fellow countryman David Gilmour of Pink Floyd. Here is a pic of him with short hair. Rock that gray hair my friend!
