Buckle up, it’s going to be a bumpy ride through the years of my hair in the time of Boyo! Good gods – I’m blaming pregnancy brain for most of the looks!
April 2005 | feeding my newborn on the first day home
It’s our first day home from hospital, and I’m rocking the wet hair scraped back into a ponytail look so beloved by timepoor and exhaustipated new mothers.
April 2005 | Boyo’s first birthday party
Boyo’s first birthday and I’ve embraced dark hair dye and far too much hair product!
April 2006 | Boyo’s second birthday party
Boyo’s second birthday and I’ve gone curly girlie.
April 2007 | at Taronga Zoo
Boyo is three and this is obviously the year I got a gHD for Christmas!
April 2008 | blowing bubbles with my Boyo
Boyo is now four and I’m still loving that gHD!
April 2009 | at Taronga Zoo, again
I’m now the mother of a five year old and I’m battling chronic illness (which explains the Nanna walking shoes). For some reason I have gone blonde. I don’t know why either.
April 2010
My baby Boyo is now six and he’s clever as clever. I wish he’d stay six now for ever and ever. Six really is a lovely age! I appear to have gone red – I actually don’t remember this! Still in love with the gHD obvs.
April 2011 | in Sanctuary Cove, Queensland
For Boyo’s seventh birthday, we’re on holiday in Queensland and our holiday house DOES NOT HAVE A HAIRDRYER. Who does that?! So, it’s ponytails all week long. Turns out seven is pretty awesome too. x
April 2012 | in Nusa Dua, Bali
Boyo’s eighth birthday and we’re sweating like swine in Bali. I’ve got a hairdryer but it’s too hot to use it. Hence the mad airdryed curls!
January 2013
And flash forward to now, when I’ve embraced my curls, cropped my locks and am loving my hair sick!
Hope you enjoyed that little trip down memory lane with me – how cute was my little man?

You have such versatile hair! I’m so boring…must do something about that.
Hey, I love the curls, have always longed for curly hair, as we straight hair people do. I love to chop and change with hairstyles, can’t understand when people always have the same cut – dull!
I agree. After all, it’s only hair. It grows back! (Unless we’re talking eyebrows. Sometimes they don’t!). I’m loving the curls 🙂
What an awesome collection of photos! I can’t believe I didn’t pick up on the hair prompt of Cathy’s – but my Flashback Friday post does have some shocking hair styles. April 2010 you are just stunning – and I loved seeing your son grow in the photos too!
For some reason, I look really tanned in that pic! I cannot believe I did not remember having red hair! 🙂
What a fab way to document your journey. I had never considered how much one’s hair says about one’s situation at a given moment – health, location, frame of mind – all there in the hair! Great post.
That’s a very interesting way to look at it. 🙂
Agree with Rachel! I LOVE the blonde!!! You look fantastic in all of them, but my faves would be 2006,2009 2010. I should go back and look at my hair over the last few years as it has been al kinds of lengths and looks!
I think my favourite is 07 actually! It was quite interesting looking back. Definitely give it a go! 🙂
I love this. I love seeing hair journeys. You rock blonde too. Rachel x
The Welshman HATED the blonde. Surprised I didn’t keep it longer 😉
Fantastic post Kim! What a great idea. Love your hair evolution. Thinking about my own hair since my first was born and I honestly don’t think there have been too many changes, but perhaps I should look into it 🙂 x
I honestly didn’t realise how many changes there had been so you may just surprise yourself. I am glad I said buh bye to that fried looking blonde though!
Great post! I love that you tied it in with your boy growing up. Loved the photos.
Thank you – I liked your baby photos too x
You look so different with the straight hair! I love your curls, I always wanted to be curly, but that’s the way isn’t it?! xx
I didn’t realise it was that many years that I straightened my hair! I didn’t love the curls for years, until I figured out how to look after them properly. Now, I love them! 🙂
Man, you’ve aged well! Kx
You two can stay! x
Hasn’t she!?
Thanks girlie whirlies! I don’t go in the sun much and I don’t smoke but mainly, I chose my face over my arse – a little plump is much cheaper than Botox! 😉
Oh, and growing my eyebrows back. Seriously. I didn’t realise the difference it made until I saw these pics!
Love it Kim! Didn’t realise you sported so many styles and colours in the last 8 years. You look great btw! Thanks so much for linking up. Glad I was able to provide some inspiration for a post 🙂
Isn’t it funny. I don’t even remember going red! Loving Flashback Friday – see you next week! 🙂
