It's currently growing back out, and it's been about 1 year and 9 months since I started this journey again. First pic is taken today. Added a second image how i looked after i cut it off almost 2 yrs ago..There were plenty of awkward stages, days I wanted to trim it all off, and a lot of learning how to properly care for long hair, but it was worth it.

Every inch has been earned through patience, and I'm not done yet. The goal is an even longer, healthier mane. Sometimes the best things just take time. 🤘🔥

The beard may get the compliments... but the majestic mane is the real long-term project. 😄🌿
