In 2006, I will...

[karezone]

funny. i want to stop weaves and you will wear them more often.

I am so scared to stop wearing them, my hair thrives in weaves, but I miss touching and treating ALL of my hair, not just the little bit left our of the weave.

I know my hair does not like ponytails or buns.

[Zeal]

go ahead on...i hope your 2006 goals work for you....
For 2006 i will:

-put a end to my pjism...i stoped myself from reordering MTG..i was tempted...but i have a full jar of sulfur 8 sitting in my drawer..and thats what it smells like...and i really want to get to the point where im using and having only maybe 2 shampoos, 3 conditioners(2 protein and 1 moisturizing) etc...

-start taking my vitamins more often

-exercise and eat right more(lose my stubborn 20 to 30 pounds that ive been wanting to lose and get down to that size 4 to 6)

-i will get my hair to be healthy and a nice length

-not spend as much on getting my hair done as i did this year

-stick with one growth product(ive went on the rampage since joining LHCF)...going back to ORS fertilizer balm and surge ..and hurrying up and getting rid of the rest(Lenzis request, MTG, all other growth products)

-cowashing/shampooing/deep conditioning more often

-stretching my relaxers more often

Yall gotta help a sistah out with all the acronyms. MTG, PJism. Please just list "all" of the acronyms just to be safe.

Would PJism be product junky? If so I am guilty.

 

[lydc]

maintain what I've been doing thus far:

- pre shampoo treatments
- staying with all natural products
- use of heat sparingly (i.e only for deep conditioning)

I'm proud to say that my pj'ism is gone. I have no desire to try any new products, what I have works for me and my pockets are thanking me.

 

[CurliDiva]

I'm thinking about wearing braids for the entire year!

I know that a few others are doing the same, but I need advice on a routine for braids.

 

[morehairplease]

-pre poo & deep condition at every wash
-drink more water & improve my diet
-exercise more(5-6 days a week)
-stick to one line of products(probably Nexxus)
-avoid spending too much money on 'needless' haircare products
-attempt a braid/super grow out challenage for the entire year

there are more will update later ladies!
