My goal is to have a ponytail by the end of the year. If that fails, I'd like to at least have enough hair to do some good twist styles and FINALLY MASTER CORNROWS!:rolleyes:
 
By the end of the year I want to be able:

To pull my hair into a puff or ponytail.
Be able to have twists look good on my hair because I'll have more length.
Have SL stretched hair.

I have cut out all cones, sulfates, mineral oil and petroleum from the hair products I use.

I'm looking for a good daily moisturizer (Any suggestions?)

Happy growing ladies!
 
My goals are bsl/mbl...possibly a couple of inches past mbl (I'm 2.5-3 inches from bsl now). My regimen has been all over the place, but I've maintained consistent progress :grin: I plan on doing more braids for the summer though

I don't really have a goal length, I just want my hair to stay healthy. I don't follow any specific routine, but I do pay close attention to my hair. I think I'm going to start sporting more protective styles come winter, b/c that is when my life is the most hectic. :yawn:
 
I think a more feasible goal for me would be full neck length or just touching shoulder length. :rolleyes:
 
I would like to retain 3 inches by December. I'll be doing protective styling and hopefully incorporating more natural products now that my hair is back to health again
 
The year really has flown by. I too have been slacking big time with my hair-didn't put a regimen together until late March and didn't start protective styling until April!! That's 4 precious months of growth lost! :wallbash:

I would be soooo happy to reach WL or a healthy MBL by end of Sept. but my ultimate goal is a healthy WL by Christmas. My ends aren't in the best condition but I have decided not to trim until I reach my goals then trim and nurse it back hopefully by the end of the year.
 
1. healthy hair
2. shoulder length all the way around
3. Find some staple products, specifically a DC and leave-in

Great thread!:grin:
 
My goal by December is to have BSL.

I'm currently APL but my hair is layered. I would like to have the longest sections at BSL and the shorter ones at SL by December.

As for regimen, I'm so not consistent :perplexed; I switch up too often. So in order to "nix-ay" that, I'll be wearing a weave from next week (:drunk:) thru mid July. After that I'll probably get braids from August thru October :yep:
 
I'm aiming for BSL this year.

I will be doing protective styles, and my regime will consist of ACV rinses, frequent DC, my MSM/MN mix as a growth aid, moisturizing frequently and taking vitamins...

So far, not so good on the vits, but I will try to do better!
 
Hi! All the ladies in this thread have beautiful hair! I can't wait to be like you guys when I grow up!

My hair goal for the DEC 08 is to gain about 3 inches...:ohwell: that's probably pushing it. lol Right now I'm at a little over 3 inches.

I did my BC March 7 08 and was at 3 inches...on April 7 08 I measured at 4 inches. I was using MN but I trimed it back down to 3 b/c I wasn't sure about my hair type as the longer it grew the ends looked different from the rest of the strand (curl pattern). I thought it was relaxed ends that I hadnt got off...:nono:
Lo an behold as my hair is growing now...that same weird pattern is returning. I see now that I have Os and Ss on the same strand...

I feel extra dumb for cutting an inch off:wallbash: especially when DH told me he thought it was just my curl pattern...

My style of choice is the not so simple WnG. lol
I workout 5 days a week but will be bumping up to 6...

My Regi:
Cowash almost everyday
Baggy 3x a week
EO Mix nightly
wash n DC weekly
repeat

My goal is MBL (stretched) by the end of the year. I also have some layers that are past shoulder length now. So hopefully by Feb my natural anniversary I can get it trimmed into one length that hovers between BSL and MBL. I wish "more hair" to everyone on their hair growing journey. :yep:
 
My goal for this year is to decrease shedding.

I feel like my hair is not as thick as it used to be due to shedding while wearing WNG's. I flatiron more often nowadays.

I have people say my hair is thick but I think it's due to the roller sets making it big.
 
I'm not really sure what a realistic goal is for me...I BC'ed in April after a 4 month transition and had about 2 in of NG...since I'm natural now, I can't track my NG as well as before, but based on that rate of growth, I hope to have 4 more inches by the end of the year? I don't know where that would put me on my face, lol. I'd really just like to get to do a puff :drunk:

I am going through the same thing...I had to hide my scissors because I'm just not sure if that's just the way my curl pattern is....:wallbash:
 
My goal is MBL by the end of the year. I've been skirting around BSL for a while and I went to the Dominican salon this weekend so I could finally see my hair stretched. I'm there with my longest layers when stretched. I guess I would've been closer to my goal if I hadn't trimmed an inch in March- now I think that the uneven ends I trimmed were just the result of an uneven growth pattern.
I've been slack on hair care lately- haven;t been deep conditioning lately, playing with heat a little more often, but I've finally found my WnG staple items- Castor Oil :love: so hopefully I can just stick to WnGs and braidouts for the summer. And of course I'll continue my vits
 
My goal is to increase the thickness of my hair and to have my hair between MBL and BSL........and STAY NATURAL !!!!:wallbash:
 
end of the year goals: THICKNESS!!!! It is already there but I want MORE:lick:

also I want my hair even all over... probably won't happen as my nape 3c always outgrows my crown 4a hair:look:.

finally, I am going to make sure that all the hidden relaxer ends are GONE and are no longer hiding out:lachen:

Then next year I can focus on length.

------Regimine is in my fotki!!!

My goal for the year end is atleast 4' growth! I plan on acheiving it by wearing braids and cornrows. I Love my natural hair, but it is a lot of WORK:grin:.
 
My year end goal is BSL and my regimine is
I wash every other day with CON or Herbal essence and condition after
I deep condition once a week with either 10 en 1 or a mixture of Cholestoral, coconut oil, and olive oil.
Every other day I apply Mega tek to my scalp
Moisturize every day and put it in a bun
 
Right now I'm APL when stretched, my goal is to have full APL without stretching by the end of the year.

My protective is braids with my own hair and extensions until the end of the year. I'm betting really sick of braids, but I don't want any setbacks. So I'm going to stick with it, when I get frustrated I visit Mooks fotki, love how she style her braids.

My reggie is pretty boring, but it's working for me, Cowash on Sun & Wed. apply sulphur mix 3x a wk and moisturized 4x a wk. I really really really need to find my staples, the only staple I have right now is Castor oil, I love this stuff. but I need a conditioner and leave-in. I don't use shampoo so I'm not to worried about finding one.

June 1 thru aug 30th I'm going to do an experiment with sea kelp. I've seen it mentioned here as well as other boards to speed up growth. So I'll see how that goes and let ya know.

you have beautiful hair
 
I don't have a goal length. I mean, of course I want my hair to be longer, but I want my hair to be healthier and to have a solid regimen down along w/ some staples. After all this time on LHCF, I'm still kind of clueless about my hair...all I know is that I'm 17 months post and my hair is thirsty.:rolleyes:
 
I *hope* to be APL (stretched) at the end of the year. I'll be doing a length check at the end of the month, so we'll see how that's going...

I'm wiggin' it now, with cornrows underneath, and this is my regimen:
- Moisturize & Seal ends daily
- Oil scalp every other day
- Wash & deep condition weekly

I'm releasing the naps for summer, so my regimen will be a little different then.
