Progressions from growing hair from one style to another (Men's) short to medium

Couple months back I was in an accident and the windshield scalped about a 3-4 inch patch of head/skin/hair.

Unfortunately at that point I had to shave the rest of my head down to the scalp (no guard) to let it all grow back evenly (what parts that will grow back where there isn't any glass remaining stuck under the skin/scars)


I've got some questions.

I know a lot of people wear their hair at a shorter medium length like me, that also like to shave their head every spring/summer and grow in back in the fall. Well i'm curious on the best way to get it back without having to go too long at any period looking like either Acre boy, Jimmy Nall, nor JeauxBleaux.


it's been 2 months since the "buzz" cut and just went and received my first haircut since. Didn't even go to my regular barber Mr. Ernie, I went to the little strip mall quick cuts since I didn't figure she could mess it up. She didn't give me any pointers either. She just cleaned up the sides, "faded" the sides into the top with clippers and edged it all out. Told her to not touch the top, as in I would like it to grow out.

It still doesn't look good right now and I think that is a product of me trying to let it "grow out"...

What's some things I can do during this transitional period? certain way to get it cut that still allows it to grow out?


My end result is just a normal scissored taper side parted business like hairstyle. Pretty basic, but classic look.

Thanks for anyone that actually read this shite. Hope you weren't expecting some sorta ol' school SS thread bc I'm boring these days :/




Really thinking about getting me a new hat :| ,,, or a Tino bandanna



eta: every single time I see the word scissor I think of lesbians now...

Source pic of sorta how i'm trying to grow it, this would be on the shorter end, say right after a normal haircut, so about a month/6 weeks longer than this
