I've been alternating trying pushing my hair all back, and letting it "down". I wash my hair approx 1-2 a week with shampoo, all other times just water, conditioner. After drying with a towel I run through some leave in conditioner or some mousse.
My hair is a lot curlier, but I "tame" it quite a bit by wearing a tight wool hate while it dries, when I take it off, the hair is quite straight and soft.
Some days I'll put gel/mousse and slick it back if it's really humid, hot and windy out.
10 Months approximatley from skin bald in July.
Hi Helgast your hair after almost a year has shown real progress.Hopefully you stick it out this time for the long haul as I do remember that awesome length you had before cutting it short.I have to admit it was a sad day to see that happen as I remember how you documented the whole thing.Anyway looks great and I would delete that July pic now and chalk it up as a bad experiment.Mark
Thanks all for the feedback, I'm leaving one comment here for now, as I always forget that it puts a limit on how many I can post in a certain time range and I get cut off from responding to everyone =X
But anyway, yea I do regret cutting my hair but at the same time, not so much really. It was just something that needed to be done for me to get to where I am now. Totally doing things the right way this time around, can't really see myself cutting it unless I was going bald in huge areas, then maybe i'd go back to the shaved head.
Looking good Helgast! You're getting some good length, and soon you won't have to worry about "poof" hair.
Keep on growin'

Man, That is some thick hair!
Excellent progress for 10 months Helgast.
That thick mop is going to look awesome when long. I think this time it is going to look even better due to your new hair care routine.
Hi Helgast,
Congratulations on making such rapid progres in only 10 months from a totally shaved head. Your hair looks great, thick with natural waves, and can only get better the longer you grow it.
Keep it growing,
David
God that is some thick hair... very nice, Helgast. It'll be awesome to see your hair back to the length it was previously. =)

You've really made some good progress recently. Looking pretty cool.
Vince
Wow, in less than one year you have made great progress!
Hi Helgast
Your hair looks really cool and you seem to deal with the awkward stage well. Your hair is curly but not too curly so it will be amazing as you build length.
Good growing

Hi Helgast,
Your hair is coming along nicely and really suits you at this length right now. I'm sure you're wanting your old length back, but that'll come soon enough. I like the animation over time you did; it really shows some quick growth. It sounds too like you have a better routine now than last time which will have you ending up with higher quality hair in the long run probably.

Dude,
I've always admired your really thick hair. You're well on your way to getting back to where you were. Keep growing!

You are well and truly into the awkward stage, its looking really good and growing it out will be worth it in the end. Cheers Dave
