How do I grow out hair for the system?

[tanner1987]

So I've taken the plunge and put down the 50% deposit to get a system. Paid more than I wanted, and was expecting, but that's not the point.

 

The point is my clinic doesn't want me to cut my hair again :eek:

 

I currently shave my head as I've said here before, which generally looks pretty good, but yes I'd like hair back, or at least to give it a try; So I can't bear the thought of growing out my horribly thinning hair for 7 weeks until the system is ready!!

 

Does anyone have any advice for this poor chap who doesn't quite know how he's going to grow it out and maintain some sort of self image? Thanks in advance guys.

 

I'm going for quite a short hair cut(at least initially). I've been slowly cutting my hair shorter and shorter for a few years now and have been shaving for about 2 years, so I figure a short haircut will be less of a shock to everyone(and myself), so I don't see the need to grow it for 7 weeks; I would have thought 2 weeks at max and then just start off with a very short back and sides....?
