 Topic: Kitty Kat's Hair Journal
Posted: August 10 2009 at 6:41pm |
Okay. This is it. Here I am creating my own hair journal. I wish I had done this years ago. Maybe I would have been consistent about letting my hair grow out. Now that I'm 47 I have this desire to really let it get long. Here's my hair now. I think it's longer than the picture I posted in July on the Long Hair Support page. That's really encouraging.

Here's a style I just learned how to do. You put your hair in a low pony tail. Split it into sections and twist and wrap. Easy to do and comfortable.

Hey Pburgh! Welcome to my hair journal! Of course I remember you. I've just been having a lot of fun looking up different styles on the Internet. I ask my hubby to take a picture every time I do something different. He thinks I'm nuts!! So, what are your updates?

Hey Kitty Kat! I'm glad you started a journal too. Your hair does look longer then the first picture you posted. Love the waves! Your flexi looks great. Good color choice with your hair too!

Thanks you guys!!
Paper - I've really been having fun learning new styles. You Tube has a lot of instruction videos. Another thing, let's face it, I don't see the back of my hair. When I look at the pictures I think hey, that's kinda cute. In the past I've had lots of thoughts of cutting it. When those thoughts start to creep in again, maybe it will help to look through my pictures. I wore a French twist today. If hubby gets home before I take it out, I'll have him get a picture.
Pburgh - Hey, that's great you can get your hair into little pigtails. It's always exciting when it reaches a new stage. Are you growing your bangs out too?

Pburgh, any suggestions on growing out your bangs, you mean? I've had bangs all my life whether my hair was long or short. About five years ago, I grew them out. My hair is all one length now. While I still miss my bangs, I really love not having them. I always had to curl and spray them. My hair is so easy now. I spend about a half hour getting dressed, doing hair and makeup in the morning. (I shower at night.)
I've never understood when someone gets a makeover why they cut their bangs long enough to get in their eyes but short enough you can't even tuck behind the ears. I hate it when hair is in my eyes and that was the worst part about growing my bangs out. That was another goal I was so excited about, when I could finally tuck my bangs behind my ears.

Well, when they started getting in my eyes I just pinned them back somehow with barrettes, bobby pins, etc. OR, maybe it won't bother you. I've been told my hair grows forward so maybe that's why it bothered me so much. Some people with longer bangs just seems like they naturally stay off their face.

I hope mine naturally stay off my face :) If not i will prob use barrettes or bobby pins too and pin mine back. do u think that would work for a guy? what about a headband?
Also I was wondering should I let my bangs grow straight down like that or should i get a center part soon. :)
Anything else new with your hair?

Thanks Mike!! So, if I start thinking about cutting it short, I'm hoping I can count on everyone here to talk me out of it!
Pburgh, I have definitely seen men wear headbands. Try googling men's long hair styles. As far as whether to part or not...hmmm, that's kind of a personal decision. I can say that I usually part mine differently every day. It seems to give it a little more body up top if I don't part it exactly in the same spot every day.

Thanks Kitty Kat. ur advice def is alot of help. I will def google some styles. I think I am going to start parting it myself a little bit at least. that way i can try different parts and everything and get some more volume like u said. I also wore a headband today and I relaly liked it. Do u think guys can look good with long hair?

Do I think guys can look good with long hair??? Heck yeah!!! I've been envious many times of a guy's hair. I just don't like long greasy hair! How did the headband work for you? I wear those a lot myself.
