No tricks that I know of, and I've been through a similar growing out period. I never actually shaved my head completely, but I had the buzzcut thing going on for a while, a few years ago. My hair also grows in weird directions in places, and has cowlicks, but I've known that for a long time, so I wasn't surprised by how it acted. I survived months of really awkward growing-out period before it started looking all right again. Hair accessories and product do help, after a while, but at the stage you're on, there's really not much you can do besides live with it, or cover it up until you think you can live with it. *shrugs*
I know what you mean by looking horrible! To YOU it looks horrible - to others they jusy see a guy that is letting his hair grow- so it is no big deal. Listen to what the others have said and just go with the flow! Before you know it you will have enough hair to do whatever you chose to do with it! In the meantime have fun and relax! Keep us posted though! Debbie

HS - Hair grows like grass.....Each strand at it's own rate. I suggest you invest in a few hats, knit caps and the like....keep it under wraps for a few weeks. When I was growing mine out it drove me crazy....so what I did was, I picked a tdate on the calendar 6 weeks away. I circled that date and swore not to look at, change or do anything with it until that date came....a great weight was lifted as I knew I couldn't worry until then. I just marked off the days.
I wore a lot of scarves, caps and bands (you can't do some of those, I know) But you can do baseball caps, etc.
i think when it gets long enough i will start spiking my whole head. do you think crew gel with a little bedhead on the tips would be good for my hair starting at about 1" or is the bedhead over kill

You're probably just feeling insecure because of all the exposure from shaving. Really, there's nothing to worry about. Some people's hair grows in weird directions in some places. It's probably been that way all along, it's just you didn't notice as much before, because maybe you weren't paying attention, or maybe it was long enough to lie down fairly well without causing problems. At the length your hair is now, no amount of product will make it lie down, if the natural tendency of the hair is to grow upwards. If you want it to lie down, you'll have to let it grow longer, until the weight of the hair pulls itself flatter. I can't tell you how long that is, because it varies from person to person. You just have to experiment and see what length is easiest to work with and get it to do what you want, on your own hair.
cool, but, im just trying to figure out how to have a more "suave" organized look. it is just not looking right at all at the moment...can you see where im coming from by looking at the pics...its horrible just horrible

It looks like 1/8th to me. When my hair was 1/8 the only thing that I worried about was getting some hair! LOL! I never worried about cowlicks becasue the hair is too short to do anything with. Give it another couple of weeks and then try some gel. If ya wait untill 3 weeks then you will have 1/2 inch. Good luck to ya! Hair grows 1/8 inch a week! :-) Let us know how it is doing! I hope this has helped! Debbie

By the looks of it it has not been that long since you have shaved it. I would recommend that you take some time and let it grow in awhile and see what happens then. Give it some time to grow out. Hope this helps! Let us know what happens with it! Debbie

Ever since i shaved my head (for the first time ever) it is growing back extremely screwed up as you can see...its as if each follical has a mind of its own and the cowlicks are out to get me. i've tried gel and bedhead, and gel only makes it worse and bedhead just makes it gross. what do you think i could do to get some style going on here?
