New Year Hair Resolutions: What are your goals for '08?

[wheezy807]

My resolutions are
* Reach my length goals BSL and MBL
* Stay on a hair budget, no more new products- only replace staples
* Continue my hair regime consistently
* Become more of a DIYer, maybe this is the year i'll bump my stylist huh!?

 

[OrangeMoon]

1. Master the Rollerset
2. Throw my blow dryer away
3. Put the sissors down...only use them to dust
4. Buy only what I need, not what I think I need
5. Stretch 4-6 months
6. Do braided styles/kinky twist myself stop depending on stylist that have no clue how to comb and braid without yanking and breaking hair.

 

[AvaSpeaks]

1) To retain length

2) To finally move to CL

3) To get my 12 inches by May that's due to me because of science and the fact that I BC'd my hair in May 06' so I should have my 12 inches for May 08'

Hair Resolutions


1) Stick with a consistent regime for the whole year..methods and products
2) Stop buying so much stuff I never use

6) Learn other styles I can do besides rollersets
7) Find a dependable stylist I can trust
8) Get better at self trimming.

Goals for '08

1. BSL in early 2008
2. Continue a consistent Regiment
3. Work up the nerve to "wash that gray right out"

 

[tyte curlz]

1. K.I.S.S (find a regimen that works)
2. Continue to DIY
3. Armpit length
4. Get a good trim @ least 3 times (17 weeks)
5. STOP BUYING PRODUCTS AND USE WHAT I GOT
6. Keep my hair as HEALTHY as possible

 

[LovelyRo]

1) Find my staple products!
2) Improve the health of my hair!
3) Reach APL
4) Relax every 12 weeks after my 5 month stretch!
5) Get my nape together!

 

[yodie]

Transition back to Natural and have a nice, healthy head of hair!

 

[mrsmccreight]

1. I want to reach APL by fall of next year.
2. I want to see the look on my brother's face that says black girls can't grown long hair. erplexed

 

[tapioca_pudding]

1. Stop buying millions of products I never use.
2. Stick to a weekly regimen/ DC each week.
3. Shoulder length by 10.08
4. Master rollerset.

 

[Serenity_Peace]

1. Get control of my PJism. Either sell as much as I can or give the products away, but try not to buy up all this stuff.

2. Continue to relax only twice a year. I've seen a major improvement in my hair by stretching. If for some reason, I cannot stretch another 6 month, then I'll stretch for as long as I can, 4-6 months.

3. Give up direct heat. I was disappointed in the Sedu and actually sent it back to the company (they have a 30-day money back guarantee).

4. Transition to all-natural pratices and give up poo. I'm trying to only use poo once a month or every now and again. I want to do an all-Ayurvedic challenge to see how my hair thrives.

5. Scale back my supplementation to 2 or 3 supplements rather than all the stuff I'm taking. Perhaps sticking to a good hair vitamin with enough biotin, pantothentic acid and b-complex to keep me going. Continue my multi-vitamin with iron.

6. Improve diet for hair by increasing veggies/protein and not so much junk food. I do well with the water and exercise already.

7. Keep up with the protective styling. I think this is working well for me. I wear protective styles 99% of the time.

8. Continue to do rollersets for the first 3 months of my stretch, then airdry for the final 3 months of the stretch.

9. Keep a Fotki, updating every 3 months with journal entries and updates.

10. Continue to support my adopted LHCF Baby Sisters as they continue to reach their hair care goals.

 

[ravenmerlita]

My goals are:

• To reach my final goal of mid-back with long layers.
• To thicken my hair and if that's not possible to find products that give me more volume/the illusion of thickness.
• To get rid of all excess products.
• To build my collection of hair toys.

 

[ChanelNo5]

To just let it go. I've been obsessing for almost 3 years and it's meant to be then it will be, but this hair of mine will no longer run my life!

 

[lilamae]

to stay true to my regimen. Midback by Dec!

 

[skyborn09]

*Full APL by March 08
*APL in front and sides by December 08
*BSL by August 08
*Full BSL by December 08

Note to self:

-keep telaxing every 12 weeks
-keep hair moisturized and oiled
-keep that direct heat off the head
-do protective styling
-stay motivated

 

[Wishin4BSL]

I'm not really in a rush anymore since my hair has gotten so much thicker, proving that it DOES grow(lol), but my goal is to be at least close to BSL by December 2008. I finally have the health and thickness. I can FINALLY work on the length! Cross your fingers and hope that I can make it to BSL!!!

My other goal is to texelax no more than 4 times in 2008. Valentine's Day, my boyfriend's B-day (June), my birthday (October) and Christmas. Last year I texlaxed 5 times. Gotta cut down to keep the thickness going!

 

[NYLegalNewbie]

Consistency!!! Consistency!!! Consistency!!!

Continue to stretch my relaxers for 10 weeks at a time. That seems to be the right thing for me as I've been getting great results with that.

[fivetimestwo]

1. Reach BSL by March 08

[MizAvalon]

[Creatividual]

My 2008 Hair Goals:

• Fuller hair
• Stick with the products that I'm using b/c they work
• Increase relaxer stretches from 8-9weeks to 10-12 weeks

[jamaicanadian]

My hair goals for 2008:

Seriously step up hair game ( I haven't done much deep conditioning and I've been washing and airdrying in a bun because its so simple for me) by keeping a simple consistent regimen of deep conditioning and rollersetting weekly

Stop breakage in my crown and nape by moisturizing, paying special attention to those areas, every night and sleeping with a satin cap.

Keep hair length healthy by lightly trimming after each relaxer

Keep texlaxing every 4 months

 

[MonaLisa]

• Get my hair even healthier than it is now. Health, always first. Thicker would be nice as well (a thin haired chick's hair dream).
• Get my hooded dryer in January and become a total DIY'er. Getting rollersetting down is key.
• To reach BSL in the back and for the front to be CBL. [praying for no setbacks]
• These damned edges. I can't say anymore, just hope it gets better.
• Continuing to keep it simple and following the Sylver method during the warm months.
• Going to take over doing my sister's hair.

 

[locabouthair]

My goal is just to get my hair healthy. this means thick and shiny.
-eat better
-keep up with the moisture/protein balance
-trim off thin ends
-become a DIY
- be consistent with scalp massages

Length will have to wait until '09

 

[Lucia]

1. trying to get my hair mostly all one length u-shaped then blunt when straightened.

2. APL/BSL curly

 

[RosesBlack]

• Master at least 2 of the techniques in the Braids by Breslin 4 in 1 DVD
• Do not be afraid to use a little heat sometimes.
• Keep my hair healthy and get a good trim at full SL.
• Do more dry flexirod sets. I do really cute ones.
• More DIY not only is it good for my hair but it's good for my spirit.
• Don't get discouraged. I can do this even when I feel like I can't.

 

[BMoreFlyy]

Go as long as I can without a relaxer... lol (then decide what I'm going to do)
Keep my hair moisturized
Try to gain and keep 6 inches of new growth while maintaining the length and health of the relaxed hair.
Keep my regime simple and sweet!
