Heya all!
First of all, I haven´t had time to post so much lately, but I´ve seen some great updates (great pics from colorado, among others). Stand proud and keep it growing all!
My internet is finally working properly again and I can post my slightly delayed may update. Six months has passed and I´ve come a long way. Though I have an even longer way to go, I finally start to feel the change. My hair has passed my eyes which is great cause I can finally see the difference! Though I have huge problems with strands of hair that finds their way into my ear and tickles me to death. Hopefully that problem will be gone with a few more inches.
My hair looks kinda hideous atm. As fireinthesky described it, "it looks like something crawled up there and died". Haha! Kind of like a Bird/Dog mad scientist experiment. I wear a cap outside to cover it up and at work, thankfully, we have work hats with hairnets (meat packaging factory). So I don´t have to worry about it there either.
Anyways, here goes:
This is what it looked like when I started out, six months ago:
And this is a little more than a month after:
Two months later, this picture was taken:
One month later, my last update:
And finally, here we have the new pictures taken May 3d:
Here are two pics from the back:
This pic shows the actual length a lot better. Though I lean forward slightly.
Over all, I think I have come little more than halfway down to my chin. So on my one year mark in november, I think it will be just below my chin. I can´t wait! Then I´ll definately look long haired.
I'm a little bit jelious. Your hair grows quicker than mine :(
Mine is not that long yet and we have been growing for about the same amount of time. Even though mine was a little bit shorter than yours when i started out.
Oh well :P
Well done anyway.
What i did was cut the front side bit to keep the hair from my ears, makes it look alot better.
Using scissors is bad for growing hair however tempting to get some short term evening. Leave it until the two year stage and do any local tidying then IF it needs it.
Ah, no need to be jelous, you´ll reach your goal sooner or later! :)
Good progress - you certainly look FAR better as your hair grows. Losing the beard tends to reduce the 'geek' look to advantage.
Thanks mate. :)
Well, I gave the beard a try for a year and I like it. Though I feel it´s time to go all in baby face again. :P
Hej Herr Erik,
Din hår är jättefin. Hur länge det ska bli? Det vete fan!
I know you are enjoying growing longer hair, I really think it is going to suit you well. Soon, you wil have accomplished your goal and wonder where all the time went.
What's cool is that, depending on the light, you seem to have green, grey, or blue eyes!
Hope you have a great summer.
Vi ses, Bragi
Haha! You get an A+ for attempted swedish! It makes me laugh... "Hur länge ska det bli?", in those words, you are asking how long (time) my hair is going to be. :)
Yeah, I have green/blue/grey eyes. They can also appear to be brown sometimes. As you say, it depends on the light. :)
I think you will look so beautiful with long hair... I wish my face were like yours...
Thanks mate! But hey, there´s nothing wrong with the face you already have! :)
Some people can be so lucky and have ideal hair from the start to work with. And such is you case. All is looking great.
Really? I didn´t know that I´m so fortunate. Thanks mate. :)
Keep up the good work!
Tjena! Håret ser lysande ut, syns att det vuxit en hel del sen förra gången, du passar mycke bättre i längre, har märkt att mitt hår också har börjat växa litegrann nu, ska göra en update igen här om nån vecka tror jag:)
Simon
Tackar! Allt bra med dig?
Ser fram emot din uppdatering. :)
Jodå, det är bara bra, själv då? Vad gör du annars, jobbar du nånstans eller?
Japp, jobbar på en köttpacketerings-fabrik. Utöver det lirar jag en jävla massa gitarr. Siktar på en karriär inom musik. :)
Vad sysslar du med själv?
Jag pluggar sista året Marknadsmedia på gymnasiet nu, så om några veckor är de studenten som gäller, är också jävligt musikintresserad, har faktiskt funderat på att börja spela gitarr, skulle vara skoj som fan å lära sig, tycker om att sjunga också, då är det mest äldre musik som t.ex Country osv:)
Simon
Ah, kul! Ja det är bara att sätta igång, hur kul som helst. :)
Hi! Your hair looks incredible in your latest picture. I can't believe you think it looks hideous. Good luck growing it and enjoy the process and different looks that you will acheive along the way to your long hair goals. Are you going all the way to belt length?
Del
Thanks mate! The hair itself looks good but the haircut (or lack thereof) looks really bad. :)
I´m growing it to about this length:

Hey Eric,
Well you're already well on your way to being longhaired. I'm sure by November there'll be no doubt whatsoever. You have some great looking hair there. It's looks good and thick and will be awesome when it's very long.
Jason
Yeah I really look forward to november. Or rather, to be a longhair. Thanks mate. :)
Great to hear from you again Erik!!
Your hair is coming along REALLY well man, it grows really fast and you'll be at mid back before you know it! It doesn't look like something crawled up there and died at all! haha mine was a huge fuzzball at 6 months.
The no-beard look suits you well also!
Keep it growing and keep it metal

Thanks mate! My internet has been down so I haven´t been online on msn lately. Though it works now so I´ll talk to you later. :)
Hi Eric, good update mate. You seem to be coping well with the awkward stage, im a fellow six month man so i know how you feel, but when you know you are in it for the long haul, it is easier to handle. Keep it up fella, and remember WITH PERSERVERENCE THE SNAIL REACHED THE ARK. All the best Jonny H.
Thanks man! Yeah, you really need some patience... even though I really wish I could get long hair right now, I guess part of being a longhair is the journey there. Ah well... :)
Hi Erik,
You have come a HUGE distance in only 6 months, you are blessed with a fantastic growth rate! As far as I am concerned, your hair does NOT look hideous at all, it is healthy, has lots of shine, and can only get better in another six months, and hopefully, years more after that. Congratulations on a great update and thanks for sharing your progress with us.
Keep it growing,
David
Looks awesome man!
It is evident you are taking very good care of your hair.It is shiny and looks very healthy. Good luck and keep it growing
Nice update, Erik! Hair is coming along nicely...that's good growth for 6 months! I look forward to your 1 year update in November. Keep it growin' for sure, bro!

Long hair's going to look killer on you. You remind me a little of Vogg from Decapitated actually, especially when you have the goatee, so it will be interesting to see if the same is true when your hair is as long as his.
Keep it up,
Matt
The hairs looking good Erik, not hideous really when you think of some posts we've seen on here yours is not hideous at all.
Kevin
You'll be a longhair in no time! The progress is looking great, Erik. I look forward to your future updates (and thanks for the comment about mine, too ;).
-James
You're progress is excellent so far, Erik! Keep up the great growth and you'll be a longhair in no time whatsoever. Looks awesome! (And thank you for your comment about my update =)
-James
The hair looks great for only 6 months of growth. It seems to be growing fast. Keep up the great work.
Be Blessed,
Tristan
Myello! I was wondering why you didn't post any updates but all I can say now is that it grows really fast and it looks great! It has a cool natural wave and is thick, the only thing you can do is wait though and be patient :P
Looking good, Erik. What a difference from six months months makes! The one year mark will be here before you know it.
Mouse
Thanks for the comments all! :)
Looking great Erik, keep the faith and you will be rewarded.
