Hello everybody I was just wondering if anybody could offer me advice on growing my hair long . I feel slightly embarressed and shy since this will be the first time I have grown my hair . The eventual style that i want to achieve is the david beckham look ( shoulder length with blonde highlights ) . Longbraids very sorry to here the news . I currently have short blonde highlighted hair . If anybody has any hints or tips that would be great . do guys get foil highlights the reason why i ask is my hair is currently two colours brown and blonde if i grow it longer i dont want the colours to be patchy .

The most important thing you'll need to get long hair is patience. If your goal is 'David Beckham' hair I suppose dying your hair will be fine but in my opinion if your ultimate goal is longer (say past shoulder length) you should avoid chemical treatments on your hair (such as highlighting). This is because in the time it takes to grow your hair past your shoulders the repeated chemical treatments required to keep the color would destroy your hair. In other words, to have long hair you will have to treat your hair a *lot* better than you do when you have short hair. As for males with color highlights, I live in a progressive city (Ottawa, Canada) and I see lots of young men with highlights and streaks. At a recent family gathering three of my young male cousins showed up with shaggy collar-length hair that was two-tone. Their their natural dark hair was colored a golden-blond on top. It looked great. For my personal look I go for completely natural color but I'm a bit older and don't mind being called a 'hippy' (just happened today). Good luck with your hair growth goals!

Hello gollan thank you for the advice i will remember all the information you were chatting about i made the choice of david beckham as he is an icon that everybody recognises and as for his 6 aston martins that cant be bad .

You know, highlights2008, just because David Beckham is your inspiration, it doesn´t mean you have to copy him exactly. Think "I want to look as cool as DB" and then take it from your own natural assets, and what works for you! DB is one of a kind, and so are you.
