Gidday Uwe,
There are lots of useful messages about growing out hair on this board. If you look for a website with lots of tips look at
http://www.choisser.com/longhair/longhair.html
He has basically put a synopsis of everything that may be usful for you on his site.
Oh, and one thing from my own experience:
Stay away from scissorhappy hairdressers!
When I started to grow my hair out (10 months after a "number 2" i.e. 2mm haircut I went to a (ponytailed) hairdresser for some advice for keeping it tidy and presentable during the "ugly" phase. The result: He chopped half of the top off "to avoid the big hair look"! Now the top keeps limping behind the hair further back and extends the bad hair phase when you can't restrain it.
Just keep growing until you have got a decent length and - if in doubt: Check this board and its archive out!
Happy growing from a - you may have guessed it from my nickname - fellow countryman from the deep south of Bavaria
