Hey all!
First of all, great updates from lots of you guys! I haven´t had time to answer all of you, however, I do try to at least look at all the updates.
Well, I´ts time for my 8 month update. I can´t believe I´ve grown my hair for so long! It doesn´t feel like more than 3-4 months. I just started parting my hair on the middle instead of the side part just a few days ago. It feel like it´s finally long enough to look good with a middle parting. Enough talking, on to the pictures!
First of all, this is how short my hair was when I started out:
And here is a pic from my second last update (6 months):
And my latest update (7 months):
And now, here are the new pics:
Erik, Nice progression there. Keep it growing!
peace, jonalbear

Hi Erik,
Congratulations on a great update, your hair is coming along VERY well indeed, and grows fast. Keep up the hearty growth!
Take care,
David
Hey what a nice progress pict, you look really cool with longer hair :)

Hi Erik,
The growth is indded VERY noticeable, --- you are starting to look like a longhair now (lol)!! (And I can't think of a nicer compliment to say to someone who's going through the infamous, "awkward stages" than THAT!)
You have very nice-quality hair there, and I think you'll look more & more awesome with each passing month!!! My best to you!

That´s great to hear, thank you. :)
Hey! Fan nu börjar det ju likna nånting, en markant skillnad sen förra gången, snart har du ju redan passerat 1 helt år:)
Hade bra!

Hej Erik,
The center part suits you I think by now at this length. Your hair is coming along quickly, and I really think you have the type hair that will look great as it grows longer and longer. In another year, you will be amazing us all with your updates!
I hope the Swedish summer weather is pleasant. What kinds of temperatures do you guys consider to be "hot" for the summer?
See you later, Bragi
Thanks mate! Yeah I´m really looking forward to the day when I´m longhaired for real!
The weather is great here. Since sweden is a very long country, we have different temperatures in the northern and southern parts. Here were I live, a hot summer is around 20-30 degrees C. And in the winter we have between -10 and -20 degrees C cold.
How is the weather in your country?
In the Southeastern US, in southern Georgia, the summer which lasts from March to October varies, but the hottest is +100F or 37-39 C. Winter brings maybe two weeks of really cold where temperatures get below 32 F or 0 C for an extended amount of time usually in January or February. We get snow once every 30 or 40 years. The last snow that stuck to the ground was in 1973.
hehe:d sometimes the winters up here in the north of sweden it can get as cold as -40-50 degrees C, no kiddin!
Congrats, Erik! Your hair is looking ace, as usual. Looking forward to future updates.
ZOMG FINNTROLL!!!
Wow, the difference between 7 and 8 months is very noticeable! Keep up the good work and you'll be tailin' before you know it!
Keep on growin'
Bruce
Congrats, Erik, on reaching the 8th month! The progress you've made so far is definitely looking great and the tail looks very nice, also. Keep up that awesome growth and your hair will look wonderful in no time! =)

Hi Erik!
Hey, that's pretty good progress for eight months. I think long hair will suit you well. Keep it growing!

Hey Erik
Nice update, Hair looks good. You mentioned a while back of maybe trimming the back a little. Looking at the pics if I were in your shoes I might wait 2 or 3 more months and then only get 2 cm trimmed every 3 months so it's hardly noticeable. Slowly the front and sides will catch up.
Just a thought anyway.
Take care
Kevin
Thanks mate! Yeah that sounds like a good idea. At the moment, my back hair is way too long I think. :)
Yeah seeing your pics reminded me of when I grew mine out and I had the same issue. Getting small trims in back made the front seem like it grew really fast. I know it didn't but psychologically it made me feel better.
Kevin
Heya Erik
is that Finntroll i see? ;)
They're coming to my town in september, i'm definitely going to go see them.
Your hair is awesome man, it's gonna look even better at mid back
It also grows really fast, that's a lot of length for 8 months
Keep it growing, Keep it metal
-Mihnea
Thanks mate. :)
Finntroll is a great band. I saw them live at Tuska. Though they played immediately after blind guardian so I got a bad spot. You should definately check them out. :)
What amazing progress for such a short period of time. And are you EVER lucky to have hair such as yours. Perfect type to work with. Best of luck in continued progress.
your hair is looking great! it looks like it's super soft. girls must be trying to run their fingers through it all the time. :)
on a side note, your eyes are jsut about the coolest color ever.
peace,
nic

It's all looking great, Erik dude! Your hair really grows fast, for 8 months that's quite some progress. You appear to have a bit wavy hair but you never know what will happen when it gets longer, it might turn out straight.
Yo
Erik Anders
Its coming along great you look better without that hair on your chain to I think you are born to have long hair to Im impessed with the great condition its into.
I also notice your into Metal to which is awesome to might I know what your favourite bands are if you dont mind telling me ?
Also when you started grow your hair from the first picture you posted here what was that hairstyle called ?
Axel
Thanks man! My fauvorite bands are Children of Bodom, Arch Enemy, Wintersun, Blind Guardian, Ensiferum, Norther and many more. I also play guitar myself and create my own metal (if you´re interested, visit www.myspace.com/erikwallenmetal). So you listen to metal too?
I guess that hairstyle is some sort off buzzcut spike-thing. Don´t know really. :)
