Have you ever told someone your goal...



i'm sure that if i was open about my hair goals i would get laughed at. i'm happy to keep my mouth shut and let my hair speak for itself when it gets to waistlength. then we will see who the fool really is.
 
My cousin is the only person who knows my hair goals. She's constantly coming to me for advice, and since she knows I'm almost at my goal, she has no reason to doubt me. I haven't even told my mother my hair goals but when I go home in a couple of week at Thanksgiving, moms is gonna be wondering where all this length came from b/c I haven't seen her since June and my hair was way above bra strap then. And oh boy, when I get this relaxer in December, it's gone be all she wrote for a whole lotta haters in the hometown...yes sir.
 
Millah dear, dont get discouraged. The only person who is supportive and thinks I can make my goals is dH. Every one else thinks Im crazy. Well let them just wait and see:whip: :bud:Im on a mission and it will soon be accomplished;) .
 
I don't share my goals either because of nay sayers. Though I really wonder why so many people act like they're offended about someone else trying to grow their hair out like they're getting insulted or something? I just find that bizarre and wonder, why do you care?
 
see this is why is the reason that I am glad we have LHCF as well as other hair boards. The support system is the greatest. Since joining LHCF I have learn to take care of my hair and develop a great regimen based on the season. I have always been told that your hair won't grow pass a certain length while I have just about reach my goal of shoulder length next month. My mom and my boyfriend on my side.
 
I don't share with anyone in person, only LHCF. I read too many stories here from other members about people saying hurtful things, so I just want to avoid it entirely. I'll just let it speak for itself. :)
 
I only share my hair goals with online hair friends & family members (I'm like the hair guru to them, lol)

Other than that, I keep my goals to myself (just so that I don't have to be bothered with discouragement).
 
I know this is an old thread, but I have a story to contribute (plus, I can't sleep).

I wear a SL wig, but I'm currently grazing BSL. I hope to get to full BSL or grazing MBL by the end of the year/beginning of the new year. I let my goal slip out the other day, while hanging out with a group of casual lady friends.

This woman with full MBL hair passed by and all eyes were on her (she was also wearing somthing quite inappropriate). One of the women in our group complimented her and asked if it was all hers (yeah, I know). She answered 'yes'. After the woman walked off, we began talking about hair and I casually mentioned how I can't wait to have that length (I was thinking out loud :ohwell:). Several of the ladies had this odd look on their faces. A couple of them even said something along the lines of: yeah right....how are you gonna pull that off....etc). I quickly remembered why I NEVER share my hair goals with anyone, except LHCF!
 
Incognitus - When you reach your goal by December, just stunt on those ladies in the New Year

Positive - At least you know the wig you're rocking looks real
