Wow, I can´t believe 17 months has passed since I started growing! I´ve come so far that I don´t have to worry about mullets anymore, all I need to do now is to let it grow!
The next major point is when I can get it all into a ponytail. That´ll be great, because at this length it kinda gets in my way.
And a picture from 2 months ago:
You look very upstanding and proud to be an aspiring longhair, Erik. Great progress, and you'll definitely be golden in another 6-12 months. Stay well and keep it growing. =)

Hey man, thanks for the comment! How is your hair going? :)
It's coming along alright. I'll post an update in a couple weeks. See ya around, Erik. =)
-James
You've made some great progress and everything is at an even lenght, good luck with growing it and I'll be waiting for the next update!
Hey Vincent, thanks for the comment!
Btw, Vincent is a really cool name.
Looking good. How long are you planning on going for?
Thanks Garth! My goal is somewhere mid back. At some point, the hair gets too long to be able to headbang properly so that´ll be my measuring stick. :)
An interesting comment and hair look long to headbang! I've not suffered from that yet, mind you perhaps we ought to ask Danny or Baron on the topic.
Cheers,
John.B
Looks great, Erik. What a difference the last two months have made!
--Val
Yeah man, it´s geting longer! :)
Hi Erik,
It is great to see another update from you, and your hair is healthy and you should be able to grow it any length you wish. With your speedy growth rate, you should be able to fit all of it into a ponytail in no time!
Keep it growing,
David
Hey David, thanks mate! Yeah, since my trim, the progress is more obvious than before. :)
Hey Erik,
Really great update, your best yet! I think that little trim you did on the back turned out very well. You're right - there's no longer any need to fear a mullet-like appearance.
Eighteen months is generally around the first time ponytails can be attempted so you're almost there. I was closer to the 2 year mark before all of my hair including my bangs fit securely in the tie. I began wearing them sooner than that though.
Jason
Hey Jason, thanks for the comment! Yeah, the mullet has finally been killed once and for all. :)
Lookin gooooood ;D keep it growin! ^.^

Thanks mate!
Hi Erik,
I hope your are enjoying your new moderation duties and great to see you volunteered. Thanks for the update and it's amazing how far you have come in 17 months and like you say just keep it growing. There hair is looking amazing condition and pictures really show youe hairs natural colour. For sure you don't have to worry about the mullet levels.
I hope all is well with your music projects and do keep us up to date with that.
Cheers,
John.B
Hey John, what´s up?
Thanks! Yeah, I take one step at the time with the mod stuff. There´s always much in the beginning.
The music is going pretty good. Though I´m having some problems at the moment with my demo. My studio technician has got pneumonia, and his computer crashed. So everything will probably be delayed...
I´m going to post a blogg on my myspace in a few weeks about that.
Very great update! Your hair appears to be in great condition!
I also like the CoB shirt. Very metal!
Keep on growing,
Bill S.
Thanks Bill!
And don´t worry about the incident earlier. :)
Erik, Looking very cool. Well on your way I'd say!
peace, jonalbear
Thanks Jonalbear!
Time seems to go by so fast. Your haor looks good as is right now.
From here on it just gets better. Reading the replies it's too
bad about your Studio tech, pneumonia is a serious thing I hope
he recovers without suffering any complications.
I predict that maybe by summer you'll have a ponytail.
Take Care
Kevin
Haha, yeah, time seems to go by fast because you keep forgetting all the time you´ve been waiting! :)
Yeah man, it´s the worst of luck. Shit happens, I hope he recoveres quickly too.
Your hair is looking great!
And nice eyes btw.
Gosh you guys on here are so lucky!

Aubrey
Hey Aubrey, thanks!
I wonder, what´s so special about my eyes? People keep telling me that. Is is my eyecolour?
looks great man keep it up!
Thanks mark!
Really cool hair! Looks like you are making super progress.
jeffrey.
Thanks Jeffrey!
Hi Erik what an outstanding update!For only 17 months you've made great progress and you have the right idea with your statement to just "Let it grow".Obviously thats the best way to achieve maximum length in the shortest time.You may have mentioned it before as I don't remember but what is your goal?Regardless even now your hair looks fabulous on you at its current length.Take care my friend and fellow mod.Hope all is well.
Mark
Heya Mark, thanks!
My goal is somewhere mid back. Since I play metal, I need to be able to headbang properly. And if you grow it "too long", headbanging will get difficult. So I´ll grow it as far as possible and sill be able to headbang!
And congrats on becoming a mod btw. :)
Congrats Erik! The hair is looking great man I can't wait to see how it'll look in another 17 months. Nice shirt by the way.. \m/ :-)
Thanks mate! :)
Your hair is coming along well Erik. It will soon reach your shoulders. By the 2 year mark it should mostly fit into a ponytail. Keep growing it for sure.
Scott
Thanks Scott! Now as my hair grows, it just gets more and more fun. Compared to the awkward period when everything just gets worse. :)
Absolutely superb, Erik !
Have a nice day
Vivien
Thanks Vivien!
Thanks!
Having your get in the way is a good thing Erik, it shows you are well on the way to be a longhair, which you are of course!
Great update, keep rockin'
~ Dave
Thanks Dave! Yeah that´s another way to look at it! :)
Hejsan Erik,
Du har den bästa hår i Sverige! Oksa, din musik är jättefin.
Matt B.
Haha, thanks! You really do want to learn swedish, don´t you matt? :)
I really do need to learn it. I've been learning about the history of English and have discovered that English is full of Old Norse loan words and that lots of words used in Old and Middle English are almost just like Swedish (or other Nordic languages). It is really very interesting.
trow = tro
prate, prattle = prater
hound = hund
sweoster = syster
brothor = bror
heorte (heart) = hjarta
hart (deer) = hjort
heofud (head) = huvud
And so on; there are probably thousands of word pairs like that. :-)
Hejdo!
Oh cool! Just yell if you want a swedish lesson. ;)
Your long hair is coming along and looking fabulous Erik. 17 months is a long time but soon you will have gotten to the point where all becomes easier.
Take care-
Justin~
Thanks Justin! Yeah man, it has already goten easier. It´s great to be out of the awkward period. :)
Fantastic update, Erik. You were meant to be a longhair.
Mouse
Thanks Mouse!
Hey Erik, great update! Your hair looks super! In another 4 months or so you will be able to achieve the ponytail. Woohoo! Keep up the good work.
Cheers,
Max
Thanks man! :)
Erik,
You hair is coming along nicely! You should be at the stage where you can tail you hair very soon.
Keep it growing!
Mike
Hey mike, thanks for the comment!
Erik;
You are making enormous progress. Not only is your hair longer, but it seems to be fuller is changing your overall appearance. The next 6 months are going to be good to you....Looking forward to seeing the first "Tail".
Thanks for Sharing
Walter
Thanks man! Yeah, I´m looking forward to that too! :)
