Goal 1: To see if I can stretch my relaxer until August. Last had one in April

Goal 2: See if I can find a Dominican stylist or any trust worthy stylist to do my relaxers in the surrounding states as it's becoming difficult for me to do myself.

My summer goal is to acquire one more inch of hair without needing a trim. I just had a real good trim and I don't want to get another until fall/winter. My ultimate goal is full APL hair.

I really want that to be me this summer....especially now that I underprocessed my touch up I swear I'm scared to go there for a rollerset..
I'm gonna have to master something this summer.

I think you can definitely achieve MBL soon Meaganita

[la flaca]

• Thicken up my hair

[MonaLisa]

*Time to get that Spurt on y'all*

 

[soxie119]

Keep taking my vitamins
Drink more water
Exercise more
Keep my hair in a weave for protection

 

[metalkitty]

I think I have a quite a few....
1. Get a corrective relaxer on the right side of my head since the ends on the right are splitting...
2. Retain my length for once, after getting rid of the splits.
3. Continue to wash and deep condtion twice a week, but implement BBD Stretch if I continue to use heat (under hood).
4. Maybe, just maybe coloring my hair with Bigen but must start taking Flaxseed oil if I do to counteract dryness.
5. Get some BT
Thats what I can think of for now.

[schipperchow1]

Thanks for the banana pudding...

Goals:
Grow & retain.
Keep ends moisturized


OT: bLackButtaFly - The Ironman triathalon?? ? or is there such a thing as a hair triathalon ...

 

[TLC1020]

-Continue bunning
-Retain as much length as possible ;-)
-Stretch past 8wks (summer is hard to stretch) usually 10-12wks
-Baggy ends when dry

APL here I come

 

[lisana]

Continue to use up all my extra products
retaining my new length
growing more length

 

[Priss Pot]

I want a decent sized, wearable puff by the time school starts on August 27th. I will hopefully achieve this with the help of BT.

 

[SunnyDelight]

Over the summer I plan to 1) step up the water consumption - both internal and daily cowashes. 2) find a regimine that works for me and 3) rid myself of pj-ism. I'm so proud of myself. I didn't buy or order 1 hair product this week.

Seriously though, I hope that by the end of summer I'm able to pull all my short hair back into a pony - even if its a teeny-weeny one

 

[jaded_faerie]

Goals:
growth
retain
up water intake
work out
daily head massages

 

[MonaLisa]

How are folks doing with their summer hair goals so far?

It's almost midpoint for July......

I am determined to at least semi-master rollersetting this summer - and I want to invest in a stand up hooded dryer, just like at the Dominican spot, so I can suffer in the privacy of my home instead of out in public.

I already told my sister she will be a guinea pig if I get the dryer.

Summer unofficially ends Labor Day weekend...
and officially ends on September 22nd, 2007...

Make it do what it do ladies....I'll be checking back midpoint...August..

 

[RosesBlack]

Goals:
Not to get too discouraged.
Consistancy
Not leaving behind my tried and true methods and products.

 

[Nature'sWay]

My goals this summer are:

o Low Manipulation/maintenance
o No relaxer (until 2nd week of September)
o Maintain my current regime
o Use heat only once a week if that


O-Currently the sides are an inch below my ear and the back is at the bottom of my neck. My goal is for my sides to be jaw length at the least and my back to be shoulder length by September when I relax. I will change my avater to display the results in September.

 

[ShaniKeys]

RETAIN! This is my main goal.

other than that---keep the balance of protein & moisture

Same here I'm also using a new shampoo especially for dry hair with rosemary oil that I absolutely love, it's 100% organic and it doesn't lather as much, it really leaves my scalp clean.
