shaved my head totally bald july 21st. havent used any heat on the hair. been using herbal essences hydrating shampoo and conditioner, followed by american crew leave in conditioner.
Wow 4 months already I remember when you posted your 1 month pics. Looks good, keep it up.
I remember when you shaved your head. How come you decided to grow it long again?
Hey Helgast, Looking great already. Your hair is looking healthy. It is shiny and doesn't look damaged. Keep up the great progress!
Definitely looks quite healthy and shiny. Seems to have about the same amount of wave as my hair when it was that long. Very nice!
thanks for the complements guys. to the guy who asked why i am growing it long again; long hair i realized was more than hair to me, it was a part of my character and more truly reveals who i am. i may as well have it long while it lasts eh?
people said i looked like a skinhead and was intimidating when bald. i thought hey cool people are scared of me, nice. but honestly its not worth having it shaved just to keep people away.
then again a girl did tell me i looked like a rapist with long hair, only after i cut it that is.
lol.... skinhead and a rapist. Such vulgar comments people make. I don't think you looked like any..
At risk of treading dangerously - the glasses really set the look off - will look good with your hair when it returns to its proper length.
Hi Helgast,
Your look is still improving day by day as you grow your hair back. And, you are right, your hair has visibly better quality now.
You didn't look like a "skin head" to me, by the way, because your eyes do look human. (There is the story of a torturer in a totalitarian regime who offered to let go of his victim if the victim could tell which of the torturer's eyes was a glass eye. The victim could tell right away that the torturer's right eye was a glass eye. Asked how he was able to tell, the victim said "The right eye looks so human.")
All the best, and happy growth!

the hair is comin along pretty quickly...I'm willing to bet that it grows faster than the typical half inch per month.hmmm...I wonder why you cut it in the first place?
i had cut it because i had forgotten why i had initially grown it to begin with. i didnt take care of it at all, i used to shampoo it a lot, or not at all for months, never combed out knots, ended up with a lot of big fist size dreads/knots. the poor treatment had it frizzing up and puffing out quite a bit. friends pressuring me to cut it as well. all those things added up to cutting it. im not going to cut it for any reason this time.
Nice progress. It's good to see that your curls are returning. :-)
4 months from bald? wow! Amazing progress!
