Heya all!
First of all, sorry I haven´t been posting much lately. I have so much to do and so little time for it. Though I try to read through the new posts and keep myself updated.
Now that autumn has arrived, my scalp has started to get a little dry again. Though so far, there has only been minor issues. During the summer I worked at a really crappy job with a lot of stress, little sleep and lots of psychological pressure so I believe I lost at least 1-2 cms of growth during those months. I´m very glad I quit that job. Anyways, the hair is geting longer. I still play in the major league of Mullet Madness, though I had a small trim in the back yesterday so it´s not that bad. I´m going to wait another three months before I get my next trim in the back to even it out a little more. My hairdresser was great, she gave me exatly what I wanted and a very good price for it.
Enough talking, on to the pictures!

After the trim:
I can´t wait til my hair gets long enough for me to look like a longhair! My next update will be my one year mark! I´m kinda unsatisfied with my length so far, I expected it to be longer. Oh well, I guess I´ll just have to be patient (just have to find myself a smoking hot nurse first!! bwaha! ok, bad joke).
Keep it growing all! :)
Hi Erik ...
Glad to see you posting again. It has been awhile for you. Your hair, despite your impression, actually looks much longer than it did a few months back. I'm not so sure you lost much ground. - At least not as much as you may think.. It looks healthy and thick; you should have no problems getting to your desired length. What is your goal? Don't worry about the "mullet" affect... you can get that evened out soon enough..
Keep up the great work and glad to see you back...
Tristan
Thanks mate!
My goal length is mid-back. :)
Erik, Looking very very nice. Reaching the shoulders
is a cool milestone.
peace, jonalbear
Thanks!
Well, I only count the length in the front. So, it´ll be a while before my hair reaches my shoulders. :)
Erik, Something to look forward to!
peace, jonalbear
Hi Erik,
Welcome back, it is great to see you back on the hyperboard once again. First of all, your hair looks fabulous, and your trim went very well indeed. You are blessed with straight hair in excellent condition with lots of shine. I would not get discouraged about your length at all for 11 months, in fact, I think you are doing very well indeed, and I can imagine what another year of growth will bring. I recently celebrated my fisrt anniversary on the hyperboard and 41 month update.
Best of luck in your future studies, and keep up the great growth!
All the best,
David
Thanks matey!
Yeah, another year will make me a true longhair!
Looks great, Erik. Certainly an improvement over when you first started posting here. And the trim definitely looks like it worked out well for you. Take care! =)

Thanks!
Yep, the trim was great. The next one will make it look even better I think. :)
You're really starting to look like a true longhair now! hehe:D, ser lysande ut, en markant skillnad sen sist.
Tackar mannen, ser fram emot din nästa uppdatering. :)
Looks awesome! I'm at 11 months as well, and I also expected my hair to be longer. Glad to see the update!
Thanks! :)
That is sensational progress for 11 months for hair that is truly magnificent. The next year will astound you for sure, and for the better.
Best of luck to you in continued success.
Really? It´s hard to tell what the average 11 month-length would be. :)
Thanks!
Your hair is looking really nice! I think you've got a great texture to grow your hair very long! I wish you the best luck with future growth, and we'll surely be waiting for the one year mark with you... it's a great GREAT milestone ^^
Thanks João!
These are really nice pictures, excellent length, style, condition. Excellent progress, thank you for sharing them with us. Good luck and best wshes for your next stage.

Thanks mate! It´ll only look better and better form now on. :)
Looking good man, keep up the growth. Sorry if I'm wrong but did you have long hair before and cut it? I remember hearing something along those lines a couple months back.
-animosity
Thanks!
Nope, first time growing and I´ll never cut it. I think the only thing that would make me cut my hair would be hair loss. But I plan to treat that before it gets out of hand.
Hi Erik:
Although you are only at eleven months, your length looks about right. I know how you feel though about wanting to be further along. Also, it looks like having a little trimmed made the back look fuller and a little thicker. Not that it looked thin before, but trims do that sometimes.
Sa, jobbar du inte med ratt-kott nu? :-) That's good to hear you've been relieved of that stress. Are you in school studying though? Uppsala University? A good school I've heard.
Good luck with continued growth, and hope you have time to participate more here as well. Hope it is not too cold there yet; snart snon ska ligga dupt!
See you, Bragi
Yeah, the back feels great actually. Much fuller. I can´t wait til all of my hair feels that way!
Nope, no more of that crapy meat. People who worked there were pretty screwed up in their heads. Nah, actually, I´m going all in for my music. I have two bands going atm and I practice my technique everyday. We´ll record our first demo in eary november. :)
Thanks mate!
Erik, excellent results! Hey man, your music downloads are STILL available on MySpace, are they not? May I direct our members to 'em? You're a passionate writer/arranger and musician; I jus' picture your six and a half foot tall frame doing magnificently well with longer and longer hair. You'll do all of your Swedish Black Metaller compatriots proud . . . as well as those of us across the pond here in the Colonies.
Best wishes in extreme music and longhaired camaraderie,
Quenyan
Yeah of course man! The more people that listens to it the happier I get. I´m up to 1200 hits atm. I´d like it to get over 3000 hits. So hand the link to all the people you know. Also, the songs are available for download. :)

Hi Erik
Good to hear from you amd wonderful update I may add. I don't think your hair is that mullety looking in fact I'm impressed with the growth. I'm also glad to hear you've dumped the stressful job.
Beyond what you've writen in your post I hope all is going well with you, Take care
Kevin
Yeah, everything going great. Thanks mate! :)
Hi, Erik! What an awesome update. Your hair has gotten much longer. All is looking well. It looks healthy and well maintained. Congrats!
Thanks man!
Hi Erik!
Wonderful update, I'm not too far behind you ;-))
Thanks for sharing & keep it growing!
Take care
SamsoKera
Oh no, I´d better hurry up the growth then... any buses going to Chernobyl this time of year?
Thanks mate!
I definitely notice a BIG difference between now and your last update, --- and the trim looks GREAT!!
Don't worry about the feeling that you thought your hair would be further along by now, as we've all been through that... It just, "comes with the territory" of the endurance test of going through the awkward stages.
You have a wonderful head of hair to work with, Erik, --- so just enjoy the journey, and before you know it... BAM! You'll be amazed at the length one day!!
- Ken in San Francisco
Yeah, I think from now on it´ll only look better and better. :)
Thanks!
Looking good dude. I concur with others who have said your progress is awesome for 11 months, I don't know why you'd be disappointed with it. Either way, from my experience the first 18-24 months were the 'slowest' and required the most patience, because the idea of growing was always on my mind. Then one day I woke up and was like 'wow, my hair's long!'.
I don't know if you posted a link to your music before, and I missed it, but may I have the link?
Take it easy, and keep growing.
Thanks mate!
I´m looking forward to the next 12 months. :)
Oh crap, forgot the link.
www.myspace.com/erikwallenmetal
There it is. If you have any friends that enjoy metal, be sure to send the link to them! I´m aiming for 3000 hits. :)
Decapitated! Nice fucking name man.
-animosity
Look really great! Glad the trim worked out for you and you found a stylist you can trust, you're making good progress too, keep growing man you are more than half-way there.
Thanks!
Looking good, Erik! Your hair is already giving you a nice style, and I can only think it will get better as you continue to grow it.
Mouse
Thanks!
Thanks! Yeah, mullets are not to be understimated. After all, MacGyver has one.
Woahh BIG change there Erik! Excellent growth, its really coming on now - and keep up the music too. Rock on!!
\,,/ Dave
Awesome update man.
Your hair is doing GREAT progress for 11 months, mine was shorter than that at 11 months. Looks pretty thick and in great condition, and You're already a longhair man!
Best of luck with the band and keep it growing
See you guys in Toronto ;) \m/

Looking great Erik, whatever you're doing is keeping your hair healthy even if you are stressed out. You like great in these pics. I am glad you are out of such a horrible situation. I hope things continue to improve for you and best luck with the music!
hey, looks great Erik. Keep it growing. Try some oil for the dryness. And find a hot nurse - nurses are freaky. I'm dating one now. I think their freakiness relates to the high level of on-the-job stress that they need to release.
