Big Occasion anyone?

[yuriko]

I was just thinking of my plans for my graduation ceremony which is may of next year. I have a lot ideas of how I want to look on that day, I want to be back in my size 4 outfits, I want to have BSL or chasing BSL at least, I want to have clear skin; lets be real, I am going to be taking a lot of pictures that day, and I am sure my mom will blow one up and put it on the wall, lol.

But I guess I have been studying a long time, and will be having a big party and really just want to look spectacular from my skin to my shape, and of course you fellow LHCFer, my Haiiiiiiiiiiiiiir. So every time, i feel like trimming I have to remind myself that graduation is around the corner, and my hair has to look good. So I am cowashing 3x a week, washing once a week, DC 1-2X a week, and plan to get a sew in weave so I can stretch to 16weeks.

So here is my question, is there anyone else here to who getting their hair ready for a big occasion? BTW, I will be getting married in 2010, and want WSL hair by then. If you are preping your hair for a big occasion, please share and tell us what you are doing to get it.

Well I have two Christmas parties to go to in December and I'm having hair dilemna's.. should I blow dry? Should I go natural? I am style-challenged when it comes to my natural hair. Last year it was so short that I didn't even go to the Christmas parties! LOL I know, how bad is that.

I would love a curly up do or something really different.

Yes, I graduate from graduate school May 14, 2009. Therefore I am setting a personal wellness goal, I am chasing BSL for graduation, trying to loose 20lbs and work on getting my skin as clear as possible. I want to look gorgeous for graduation. I mean show stopping, head turning gorgeous. (Also, it wouldnt hurt for a particular person to see me so he can grovel in the fact that he WISHED he persued me).

Seriously, this is for ME...to show my hard work, academically, physically and emotionally. I want to make someone very proud of me....MYSELF!!!

I would like for my hair to be somewhere between mbl/wsl by May 15th for my b-day.As of right now,I haven't been doing anything special but washing,DC'ing and setting once week.When I go home for break I'll be DC'ing with my pibbs for 30 minutes 2/3 week and eating better for more growth.

Ok so I know yall are going to laugh but.........I am stuck here in Guam without family so I am reinventing me. I want (in 2011) to have my degree (garduate in 2010) and have MBL thick healthy hair. I am pleased with my skin and figure so I just need to maintain. I want to get off the plane and walk through the airport like whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. I know I got time but I am on a mission.

I don't really have a milestone coming up but I am getting ready for the holidays, mainly Christmas, my b-day (12/30) and New Years. My goals are to have at least bsl or near bsl hair, and to be 20-30 pounds lighter. What I'm doing to achieve my goals....the "Raw" challenge and I'm taking it one week at a time, and for my hair I've started a new regimen that includes protective styling 99% of the time and Mega-Tek. So hopefully we can all reach our goals.

Yes I have 2 occasions coming up as well! Next month I have my SOs Marine Corps Birthday Ball. I'm already at SL so my hair is geared up for that. Also in 2010 I'm getting married and I know that I'll already be at my goal of APL. I just want it to be a very healthy APL. For both my big issue will be clear skin because I get hormonal breakouts and haven't figured out how to stop them
