Kimbearly's Hair Journal

Well, I have been on this board for years, so I guess I should start creating a hair journal.    My hair is finally getting longer, but it has been a journey.  My hair was cut to shoulder length back in 2002, but I can't find any pics from the.  I want my hair to grow long and healthy.  How long?  Let's see where it goes!



Fall 2004 (flash)


2007 - (no flash) - my hair is darker without it





August 2008


June 2009

I also had the front of my hair highlighted and I really like it.  That was done a 2 weeks ago.



I am really happy with the growth and very excited to see how long it will grow!!!

Hi Kimbearly. I am sooo glad you decided to make a hair journal. Your hair is gorgeous :) I love love love love your locks and it has grown sooo much. I cant believe how long its gotten and I love the curls and the highlights. I cant wait to see how much more your hair will keep growing. YOu should take some pics in different styles like ponytails, buns, and braids and that. Itd be cute :) what do u think?

Nice progress pictures. You have gorgeous hair in all of them! I'm glad you started a journal too, I look forward to watching your progress.

Wow Thank you for the time line.

PBurgh - hate ponytails - only wear them when I wash my face and go for a jog, bun - a pretty messy one, is what I wear when I go to bed and I am not a braid kind of girl.  I like to wear my hair all natural and down and flowing.  It took me so long to grow it gosh darn it - I am going to show it off!!!

Paper and Mike - Thanks!!!!  You two have been with me on this hair journey so long I feel like I know you   It is great to have a hair cheer team!!!!

I really, really, really hate predisone.  I have to take it for my asthma since it got bad after bronchitis.  I am shedding hair and really hate it.  I have about 5 more days on this horrible stuff.  Great for the lungs - horrible for the hair.  My poor hair feels sick

Awww Kimbearly good for you. I never thought of it that way but def just let it flow and show it off. Your hair is beautiful and you should def show it off for people to see. I have to agree tho a ponytail or messy bun is the way to go when doing athletics or sleeping. That is probably how I will do mine. I hope your hair gets better too :( THat predisone must be bad :(

Ill have to try that mousse it sounds awesome :)

Thanks Jenn :O)  I am interested to see how long it will grow also.  This is the longest I have ever had it.

Well, I tried the Cucumber Hair One formula from Sally's. This is said to be for "normal" hair.  My find is that is cleaned more thoroughly than the color treated formula with Jojoba oil.  I also found my scalp to not be itchy and get this - I had practically no fall out this morning!  Maybe I am allergic to jojoba oil after all? My hair did seem to be a bit bigger today, and maybe a bit dryer.  I love what the jojoba oil did to my hair - more shine, less frizz - but the fallout and the itches are going to make me stay away from it. 

My next to try on the list of the Hair One Products will be the dry hair formula.  It cleanses with Olive Oil.  I have used olive oil in the past and my hair really likes it.  I guess I will stop at Sally's tomorrow and use my 20% off coupon.  I am also going to see if I can return the Jojoba one, since it did not do very well with my hair. 

Wow I will have to try all these different products to see what suits me. Im sorry aobut the fall out :( If it wasnt for that jojoba sounds great with the more shine and everything . Def let me know how the hair one  products work. Good luck returning jojoba and good luck at sallys. any other products that you prefer? Keep up the great growth :)

I found a "back shot" picture from 2007.  I posted it in my first post with all of the other pictures.  

Thats great I will have to check it out. Do you use any special hair styling items like any special kind of hairties or clips anything. I was just wondering what was best. :)

 

Happy Birthday :)

Thanks guys.  I have been away all summer with no computer.  So kind of you to think of me :O)

your welcome :) hows the growth coming?

Got a haircut today - a much needed one.  I tried putting it off and putting it off, but my dry ends were not getting any better and they felt like a dry paintbrush.  So, I had 6 inches taken off some of the layers (outer layers, where the sun hits - darn sun really does do damage in the summer, but I hate wearing hats) and 2 inches off of the ends.  I have to say my hair feels so much better and no more tangles.  I want to have long hair really fast - but not nasty long hair.  My hair looks really red in the picture, it's because of the flash. 

Going to the health food store to buy some nettle tea.  I heard on Dr. Ozz - a TV show, that is is great for hair health and to grow it faster.  Hmmm - heard it taste good, so let's see!
