So I'm playing a Hellknight Armiger (Order of the Pyre) and I plan to have art commissioned of my character once they become a full Hellknight. I can see several amazing art pieces of Hellknights, but other than scowling faces, spikes, etc, I can't really get a good impression of it's appearance. Full plate mentions it comes with gauntlets, but it doesn't mention a helm. Does Hellknight Armor come with a Helm?
Other than being black and intimidating, I haven't been able to find anything in writing about what it looks like. My question is: what does Hellknight Armor actually look like? Or at the very least, what does it look like in YOUR Golarion? Do your Hellknights wear a helm?
Type "Pathfinder Hellknight" into Google Images provides a host of images showing off the various armors.
It sure does! But most of it is just (I'm sure properly credited fair-use) copies of pictures we have from the books.
I guess I'm more trying to find if Paizo has written anywhere any additional description in addition to finding out what other Players/DMs have done.

Oh, you mean detailed written descriptions? Not to my knowledge.
Here's the Order of the Pyre's pathfinderwiki page, if that helps any.

Your messageboard avatar is actually a Hellknight (Order of the Nail)! So that's one example of a Hellknight helm.
There are quite a few illustrations of Hellknights around. The armor tends to look a bit different depending on the order. For example, Order of the Torrent armor often has fin like designs.
Here is a good place to look for examples: PathfinderWiki (scroll down a bit to reach the pictures)
Edit: I just realized you did mention your character is in the Order of the Pyre. Here is an image specifically of a Pyre Hellknight: link. Technically that's a Signifier (Hellknight caster), but the armor should look similar, save for the helm (since Signifiers have special masks). Here is a non-signifier Pyre Hellknight.
Finally, from the PathfinderWiki page Rysky linked, Pyre armor is described as "Bladed armor, horned helm with four eye slots".
Hope that helps!

Path of the Hellknight has artwork of the unique stylings on each of the different major Hellknight orders armor.
Not Pathfinder-specific but there's a snazzy looking Order of the Eclipse Hellknight in Drift Crisis.
