i want my hair wild and free or in a cute pony puff. i love the big bushy look or a BAA. i can't wait to rock those styles.
 
I chose other because I'm interested in doing many of the styles you mentioned. Natural hair styled with twists, or braids
BAA with cute accessories like scarves or a flower and hoops
Natural hair worn mostly straight but thick
Long natural hair worn in braid out or twist out
Big bushy hair worn down and combed out
Afro puff or puffs
 
My hair inspiration...

in the VERY long run, i would love to have perfect curls naturally, but i believe i will end up with long natural hair worn in braid out or twist out (truthfully, both will leave me happy, just the latter requires more work )
 
Soft, APL hair... I am trying my best not to fall too much in love with anyone else's hair and find out what my hair can do just to avoid disappointment in the long run.
 
I am in to versatility but I'm not really into braids/twists or things of that nature.

When I reach my goal length I want to go from bone straight with lots of volume to curly with lots of definition seamlessly.

something similar to this when wet...

I'll get there in about a year or 2 hopefully. Then I just plan on maintaining very full BSL-MBL stretched for a very long time maybe getting highlights and layers but no big dramatic hair cuts. I never had a desire to go to hip length or beyond but with shrinkage IDC I might consider going for that not anytime soon though.

I voted for all of them except for texturized hair. I can't do the same thing for too long....I get bored. The only thing I can do everyday is my SO :lick::lachen:
 
I voted for pretty much everything apart from natural texturised.

I do love twist outs. I want to do everything to my hair. Every day will be a fab natural hair day
 
I like the high volume look with great texture, body and shape. "Perfectly defined" doesn't describe it and my hair does not bounce under any circumstances.
 
I love one or two long braids. My grandmother used to wear her hair in two long french braids and then wrap them into a bun. She and my mom would do my hair that way when I was younger, minus the bun. I can't wait until I have the length she had (almost tailbone) so I can get the same dramatic effect.
 
ooooo ooooo!! Can I pick ALL of the above!? Im gonna copy that list, so that I can keep it near when my hair grows out more. but in all reality Im probably waaayyyy to lazy to be changin it up and detanglin all the time! When it gets longer it'll probably pretty much be in mini-braids and mini-twists so I can concentrate on babying it more with DC's. A LA Hamira! lol

I really wanna straighten it one day, but I think Ill be to lazy (plus scared to death!!). When I do want to straighten Ill probably try tha BKT.
 
This is such a yummy thread. I only voted for about 3 and then I realized I want them all. I'm doing any and everything my hair will let me do (much to my DH's dismay :lachen:). I'm just curious as to how long my hair will grow but I'm in no hurry. I am thoroughly enjoying the ride.

I've figured out in the last month that depending on how I set my hair and what products I use, I have 4 very different and distinct afros! :blush: I just came out of a puff yesterday, am in a head full of twists today (with a try at flat twists across the front :rolleyes:) and 2 days before the puff I was in a beautiful afro that I don't quite know how to describe. I achieved it using Elasta QP's Feels Like Silk and I couldn't keep my hands out of my head!

Can you tell, I'm in love with my hair??? :grin:
