He looks more serious, grown-up and intelligent.

Tell me, how could he possibly look less serious, grown-up and intelligent than that first picture?

Y'know, one thing I've ALWAYS wanted to see is a visual timeline of Dev's hair.
From mohawks to bobcuts to long & fine to cleanshaves to butterknife-in-toaster to skullet to dreads to buzzcut, and everything in-between, in precise chronological order.

I love how this is one of our biggest topics

I think he looks better that way :\

Would be cool if he'd take a pic of himself every day since 95 up until he shaved his head and flip the photos like in one of those flippy books.

i'm not really surprised that he did it, during the opeth tour i actually had a conversation with him about shaving heads as i was just starting to grow mine back after a couple years of having it shaved, after 4 or 5 years of having it long. i honestly don't even remember how it came up, but it was still sweet nonetheless.
of course i don't really remember exactly how the conversation went, it was a REALLY good show. it was the one off in toronto where they headlined.

I recently shaved off knee-length dreadlocks.
Everything else aside; I am freezing cold all the time.

Knee length!? Bet that was a big decision

Why?! D:

I get upset when people with long hair cut it. xD
I have a bit of a thing for long hair
I respect the fact though that is hard to maintain, I used to have hip length hair. I haven't been able to grow it that long since I had it cut.

But still, sad times to the skullet. ;-;

I was trying to go do civilian work over in Afghanistan. Didn't wanna look any more like a terrorist than I had to.

Also, after 8 years of dreads, and 10 years without even getting a trim... eh. A change wasn't a BAD thing.

I do miss them, though.

Aaah I see. That's fair enough then.
Wow, that's impressive though. I don't think I could of stuck with dreads for 8 years!

It's suprisingly easy, actually.
You start them, then you just, like, do nothing.
Taking a couple of minutes to tighten the new growth every now and again becomes habit. Past that, it's just learning to keep them out of the way!

I kept them all, though. All individually packaged, labled, and charted for original placement, stored neatly in my freezer.
Y'never know when I could get that big record contract, allowing me to grow my hair out a few inches, and just stitch'em back on!

Really? You kept them?! That's awesome. I'd be lying if I said I didn't have one of my cat's armpit dreads saved in a plastic bag for no apparent reason. I don't know how it got there, but I just don't feel right about throwing it out.


^^ Probably not a good thing to mention when making first impressions, but it's better if all this comes out sooner rather than later

Anyways,



Hot damn! He looks handsome! (If not a little like a logger). I just hope he never ditches the glasses, those are very becoming on him. So, forgive me if I'm a little behind, but is that his current hair cut? Or is the skullet slowing creeping back?! I haven't seen any up to the moment pictures of Dev. Whatever the case is, he's still rad as hell no matter what.
