Where are you?

HOW did you get to your goal (what was your reggie)?

And what is your reggie/what you do to your hair now?

Are you enjoying it? Hating it? Thinking of cutting it/growing longer?

Let us fantasize through you!:lol:

This makes me think

1. Not many of us has reached our length goal
2. Once we reach our goal we leave the board or are less active:look:

Girl I just might have to start blasting. I look through the search engine and check through old posts and I see those heads and I often wonder if they made it.

I know I well be here in two years.. or ill lose track and foget about growing my hair out!

My hair grown an half inch since Jaunrary.. i just need get back on these vitmans..get my ful 1' a month i need
 
On the other hand, many women here haven't been here long enough to reach their ultimate length goal....this is a factor as well.

I feel like this is pretty common. You think you know where you want to grow to, get there, and then are all like, "gee, this isn't really all that long anymore. Next!"

Thats a good point... when my hair was at my collar I thought it long and I was swanging it... But now it never seems to be long enough. :ohwell:

But I've watched some ladies meet at least interim goals. And I'm sure one of them is probably reading this thread right now.

C'mon out... you know you want to... don't be shy ;) ...
 
I haven't been on here long enough to reach my hair goals. But i have achieved healthy hair while in the lurking phase here.
 
I've reached two of my goals so far, but I keep changing it.

When I was a few inches past waist I wanted hip bone.

Then when I reached hip bone I wanted tailbone.

Now I'm at tailbone and I want classic.

When I reach classic (hopefully within the next year and a half to two years) I'll check back in.:look:

this is what I was thinking. Once I make my MBL goal, I would probably be like.....umm, I want waistlength!!

But I have a loooong way to go.

Baby, steps....baby, steps.


Plus, those who have made their goal likely have had their staples and regimine in place for some time, and are less likely to come to the board, especially the hair forums often. They are probably hanging in the OT and Entertainment forums.
 
And what is your reggie/what you do to your hair now?

I just LOVE how you put that!!:lol: It's nice and safe! Cute too!:)

Well since I just reached my second goal (shoulder length), I've got visions of BSL dancing in my head!! It's my final goal but that's a year from now so I'll have to keep on dreamin.

My reggie (regimen) is getting better and better. When I first joined I kept changing and tweaking. Most of the time I gave up and let my hair go. But as my hair got longer I started finding a working reggie that worked for me!

Right now I perm every 3 months. Out of those 3 months, 1 month is no heat. Most of the time the 1 month of no heat is the last month before the next touch up. However this time around I may have to do month 2 becuase I've got 2 weddings to go to. Also, the three summer months (June, July, August) may be inverted. I may do 2 months no heat, 1 month heat because of all the sweating I know i'm going to do.

I wash my hair, condition, apply leave in, blow dry with a round brush and flat iron. My products right now are:
Paul Mitchell "The Conditioner" (that's my leave in)
Herbal Essence Bone straight shampoo and conditioner (for heat months)
Herbal Essence Moisture shampoo and conditioner (for no heat months)
Sweet almond oil
LaBella Gel #10
On no heat days I have 3 styles
1. Curly pony tail (my own hair!)
2. Bun
3. Three braid out.

I can't wait for BSL and longer!!!

But that ain't me. My ultimate goal is BSL which is not that long compared to waist length or even tailbone length but its the longest I have ever been post child hood and would be a major accomplishment. I figure if I can reach BSL doing what I do, waist length and beyond will be easy. And I plan on reaching waist length. I also know I won't be fallin off the LHCF bandwagon. I'm a hair addict. I love talking about hair, doin hair, thinkin about hair. ONe day, I'm gonna open my own shop (now I'm talkin out my neck:lol: ) The point is, reaching my final length goal will not dim my fire at all. I'll always be stickin around if not becuase I'm a crazy hair addict then to encourage others.
 
A true LHCF'er never has a FINAL hair goal. It's a work in progress always. You reach shoulder, you want APL. You reach APL, you want bra strap. Bra Strap wants mid back, midback wants waist, waist wants hipbone, hipbone wants classic, classic wants calf, calf wants foot, foot wants to drag the floor, drag the floor wants to wrap around the room... feel me?
I have reached a few goals, and I am so greatful for the hair on my head. I absolutely love it. My buns are bountiful and lush, my curl sets are thick, beautiful and still long. Now even my ponytail hits brastrap (eventhough that was one of my goals once upon a time)!! I stress less over my hair now than I did on my grow out crusade. I don't religiously take vitamins or stress over wearing my hair down... but in the same respect I am cognizant of my hair. I still practice good hair care habits... out of, well, habit. It's second nature now. I absolutely LOVE my hair. I really do. I wouldn't trade it for anyone else's. I know understand what it means that a woman's hair is her glory. There is a freedom in reaching your hair length goals, but remember you'll always be a slave to that next goal.
Catch 22, dare I say?:lol:
