Hey all!
I was down in my bands rehearsal room (word?), and I decided to take a few pics for the update. It´s a few days premature but what the hell, no need to wait. :)
It´s hard to belive, but an entire year has passed since I started growing my hair! Finally, I have come to the point where it will only look better and better the longer it gets. A year from now, at my two year mark, I´ll look like a true longhair!
Enough talking, let´s go! First of, some old pics.
This is what I looked like when I started growing my hair, november:
1½ month later, december:
Two months later, february:
One month later, march:
Two months later, may:
One month later, June:
One month later, July:
And then last month, October:
And now, for the new pics, November!
Finally able to tuck the bangs behind my ears!
And just for fun, two guitarpics. One from June 2006 and one taken recently:
That´s all! I look forward to another year of growing. It´ll be great to get rid of this damn mullet and replace it with an awesome mane instead.
Take care and keep it growing all!

Hi Erik,
I still remember when you first joined the hyperboard! Your hair has come SO far in only one year of growth. It is shiny and healthy, and grows fast as well. Just imagine where you will be one year from now.
Keep it growing,
David
Hey mate!
Yeah, looking back at the old pics I notice a huge difference. However, I´m not really satisfied with my length. I was planning on having it 2-3 cms longer at my one year mark. Ah well... :)
Long hair definitely suits you, my friend. It's looking wonderful. Keep it growing and you will have some of the best hair on this site. Take care, Erik. =)

Thanks mate! :)
Hi Erik,
Great pictures. I need to wish you luck on your success with your band too.
You do have a lot to look forward to this next year. Your hair is very cool now, but can you imagine this time next year!?! It'll be a full-tilt metal look (jatte-metall utseende? HA!) for sure!

Thanks mate! Yeah, the next your will definately be a success in the hair department. Hopefully, the success will be equally or even greater with my music. :)
Hi Erik,
Thanks for the update pictures and the hair is coming long great and so called "mullet" look will disappear as it gets longer. I agree it will look even better after another year and you've reached the end of the awkward stage. I have to say very metal looking these days.
Great stuff your doing with the band and thanks for the add and looking forward to see the band live as well.
Cheers,
John.B
Thanks mate! I´ll keep in touch with you concerning my bands. We are still struggling to find musicians in Culverin (my band were I write the music). But I´m sure that we´ll find people eventually. :)
Btw, do you want me to send you a copy of Astral Kingdoms new demo?
Congratulations Erik! Your hair looks awesome and is definately starting to look "metal." Can't wait to see your updates in the up-coming months. Also, I have the exact same shoes as you do in your recent guitar pic. That just shows you have great taste as well as great hair! :P
Thanks mate!
Those shoes are definately the most comfortable shoes I´ve ever worn. And they look great aswell. :)
Also, congrats on your latest update. Looking great!
Brilliant Erik, the longer your hair gets the better it looks, really cool axe too, keep it growing, and keep on playing.
Rock on \m/ Dave
Hey, thanks mate! :)
Coolt Erik! Passar dig tusen ggr bättre än kort hår, jag har ännu 5 månader kvar tills jag passerat 1 år.
Riktigt nice gitarr också!
Tackar! Ska bli kul att se hur ditt hår ser ut efter ett år. :)
ERIK! hair is looking great man keep it growing also id like to add i really enjoyed your music i added you on myspace :{ ] well take care long haired brother
Thanks mate! I´m flad you enjoy my music! More is sure to come. :)
great dude. You've come a very long way, and if I may suggest growing back the chin hair. It looked pretty cool. All in all cool update, keep it growing!
-animosity
Thanks mate!
I definately plan on growing it back in the future. I might even grow it really long and try braiding it and stuff. Though, atm, I like going beardless. :)
Hey dude, What a great update! Your hair has gotten alot longer and is looking awesome. Keep up the great progress and good luck with your band
Thanks! :)
Hey Erik that was a brilliant update. Your hair is nearly there, just think in one more year the mullet will be gone and after that it's easy.
Good luck and keep growing
Kevin
Thanks mate!
Looks good, great progress for 1 year!
Matt
Thanks!
What a great set of pictures to show your progress through the year. And what a year! You've come from crewcut short to decent long hair. I wouldn't worry about any mullet effect. That gets blended in once you past shoulder length.
Keep on growin'
Bruce
Yeah, the mullet will probably disappear when it gets longer. However, I´m also going for a trim in January, to even it out a little. :)
While the mullet isn't exactly 'metal' hair, you'll get there. Just think where you will be in a year, probably headbanging proudly with a long flowing mane. Rock on!
Carol
Yep, another years growth will be great!
Hello !
Beautiful hair ! It changes a lot, between the first and the last photo. Keep on growing and playing music ;)
Bye
Vivien
Thanks mate! :)
Hi Erik,
Those are some GREAT pics there, Erik! I am always amazed at the transformation that can take place over the span of one year, as it never ceases to astound me!
Lookin' good there, guy!!

Thanks mate!
Yeah, the difference is really big. And I reckon it´s even bigger for those who just look at theses pictures. :)
You made it to a year! The hair is great. It looks healthy, the color is nice, and it really suits you. Here's to another year of growing!
Mouse
Yes I did! Got to celebrate somehow!
Thanks!
Damn that is a big change between your first picture and how you look now Erik. The first picture looks like you should have been playing new wave music in the 80's, very techno and eccentric while now you look very much the metal player! I definitely prefer the newer version lol!
Congratulations on making one year, this is the milestone that seperates the men from the boys as they say and not all who want long hair really want it enough to get there. Well done and congratulations on the exposure you are getting for your band and music too!
Take care Erik
I used to get that sometimes back then. People said I looked like a painter, writer, technoman or something like that. :P
I prefer the newer me too! Thanks!
it's so cool when you guys post the progress pics. it's really cool to see the difference from beginning to now. it looks like you're almost out of 'mullet phase' which i'm sure can't come too soon for you. :) your new pictures are great! and your music is pretty damn good, also. (i finally checked it out a couple days ago.)
peace,
nic
Yup, the differences are huge, and will be even bigger in another year. :)
I´m glad you enjoy my music!
Thanks!

Fantastic, Erik! You look cool with the guitar, that last pic is the best. And congrats on achieving this truly awaited milestone. It won't be long before it's 2 years and your hair is past your shoulders ;]
Thanks mate!
Your update looks great too. :)
