: In actual fact, my wife has always known me as unconventional. I was already living in the country, and we moved together to a house, also in the country. That for me was not negotiable.
: One thing I say to myself is that the growing process is so gradual that both she and I will see it at every stage, and not be surprised. That being said, I'm surprised how fast mine is growing! I don't have an accurate measurement, but I think I am getting more than half an inch per month. I must be one of the lucky ones - and to think I was buzz-cutting until last autumn!
: It's another phase of my life with my particular experiences that formed me - as with all of us.
: What a mid-life crisis!!!
: Just a question. Do you dye your hair?

: : I think there�s a good chance your wife will come to like your long hair particularly when you�re past the awkward stage. It does dramatically change one�s appearance and for someone who isn�t innately attracted to the look, I�m sure it�s a bit of a jolt. I met my wife online and posted pictures of myself with my long hair down. It�s actually one of the things that attracted her to me. She�s kind of a hippie at heart!
You're definitely fortunate to have that higher than average growth rate. Mine has pretty much been around the half inch per month. Though mine seems to grow a bit slower in winter and faster in summer.
It's true. It will be a gradual transition for you and your wife. Even if we could instantly have long hair, the journey is part of the fun and a learning experience too in more ways than one.
There is no dye in my hair. I've experimented with 28-wash temporary dyes in the past but haven't used one in a long time. Over the last couple of years I've noticed some gray in my beard but so far my hair has not been affected much.
