Gonna grow my hair long - few questions

Not sure there is a lot you can do about going through the 'middle length looking like a douche phase'....just got to put up with it until your hair is long enough. :)
This. Don't cut it at all, otherwise it'll just prolong the "awkward phase."

How long does it take to go from say, 1 inch long to maybe 12 inches?
On average, hair grows at about half an inch per month. So, it could take almost 2 years.
 
Go for it, but I've had mine for almost 2 years and I'm going for a trim within the next week. I doubt it's gonna be here for much longer, does my nut in.

Yeah man, it's the worst! Also annoying when it accidentally gets caught in jacket zips.
 
op, you need a certain hair 'type' and head shape to pull this off effectively. and if you're spurred on by a film or rock star look, just remember they've only got that look through a $1k a day stylist, do you have a $1k a day stylist?
 
I used to have long hair, I also used to think it looked cool but looking back at it now I realise I looked like a douche. Nowadays I grow my hair to my eyebrows then cut it back. If I wasn't a student I would probably keep it fairly smart.
 
If you want long hair just go for it.
When the Baldilocks brigade start having a go put on the shades.
(Cuts the glare out wonderfully). :D
 
Facial hair + long hair = jesus. no matter what your ethnicity is, if you have a beard and long hair, people will call you jesus.

I ... AM JESUS!?!?!!!

Trying to rock the Sawyer from Lost look?

lol kinda. he's the only guy i've seen who makes long straight hair look good. most long haired guys have either curly or wavy. mine is straight.
 
I have long hair, and by long I mean it touched my bum. Growing it, well you just have to go for it, I decided one day I would and here I am.

You will have 3 main stages, Emo stage, this will be very very annoying, it will poke you in the eyes, and you will want to cut it, if you fight through this then you will have a couple of months of peace before.

Mouth stage, its now long enough to cover your head, but its going to keep getting in your mouth, and its not yet long enough to tie back. Again you are going to want to cut it.

However after it gets past your mouth, you are going to have long hair, which does not keep poking you in the face. Also if you need to you will be able to tie it back out the way. A warning though, once you hit this stage, if you have facial hair as well, you will become Jesus to everyone you know, more so when drunk.

Then its upto you how long it gets, I will be honest all your friends (And random people in the street when it gets long enough) are going to make fun of you, call you jesus, hobo etc, but if you want long hair just ignore it. Eventualy they will get use to it, and you will get use to being called names, and you will simply have long hair.

I will also add (In before gay) that long hair is a fair bit of work, you will need to wash it and condition it at least every couple of days, and combing it in a morning is a royal pain, but well worth it. Because if you ignore looking after your hair, you are going to look like that guy who never takes a shower, and has lard in his hair... Which is not cool!

I had slightly long hair until a few weeks back, until I cut it short.

I didn't mind it, but because I'm always wearing over the ear headphones I got sick of headphone hair.
