Thanks for all of the wonderful feedback ladies! I've noticed that alot of our goals are not just focused on length, but on health also.
I think I'll print this, just to have a something to look at when I start to feel lazy or get discouraged. Good Luck to Everyone!!! I hope (pray and wish) that you all reach your goals in '08!
My strategy for 2007 was to get serious about my hair care, and to treat my hair as if it were relaxed. This really paid off for me this year.
My goal throughout 2008 is to keep doing what I'm doing now. I also want to reach APL by the end of 08 at the latest, and to not buy any more products unless I'm replacing the ones I like after they're done.
I would like to be Armpit length by the time, june comes for my moms wedding. I am gonna get serious and get some curly weave in January and hide my hair for about 2 months
1. continued consistency with hair regime 2. finish the fotki and post every three months 3. be more consistent with hair journal 4. full APL with completely even ends - no layers 5. increase the number of days I exercise
1) To fill out and thicken up my hairline
2) To learn new protective styles - I love my flat twists, but
3) Full Shoulder length (stretched, unstreched, I don't care) by 06/08
1) Find a solid regime and stick to it!
2) Wash and DC every single week.
3) Thicken my edges.
4) Reduce shedding/breakage.
4) Stretch at least 16 weeks.
and lastly ***drum roll please***
5) REACH APL BY MARCH!!!!!!
1) Begin taking vits again
2) Thicken up my hair
3) Maintain a blunt length with fresh ends, no matter what length
4) Moisturize regularly
5) Try out more versatile styles
6) Try bangs again
STICK TO MY REGIMEN (biweekly amla and brahmi rinse, No weekly protein tx, except pre and during relaxer, in braids, and breakage).
APL in in 08 (try for BSL DEC 08)
TRY HENNA/INDIGO tx
PROTECTIVE STYLING 80% OF THE TIME
NO TRIMS (CAN DUST) TILL DEC 08
and continue to treat my hair like its the finest, most delicate lace that I need to treat it as.
and......To stop buying every hair product in the stores on on the web
Let my hair Finally grow out after 4 years of keep cutting it down to 1 inches because of deciding to stay natural or Relax, I have decided to just Tex-lax.
Thicker hair, reduce shedding and breakage, BSL by June of 08, to learn how to do my own relaxers so I can eliminate salons all together, lose 10lbs, run the mini in April 08
1. To curb my PJism - hey, I'm kepping it real!
2. To really focus on having a protien / moisture balance
3. Reach full SL by April 08...gotta change my siggy goals
4. Use body Henna for the first time
5. Drink more water
6. Reach APL by Dec 08
Goals for the year in no certain order or timeframe either.
1. MBL stretched
2. Continue to grow out my temples where there was thining from a stylist doing my twists 3 years ago, (this was before I knew any better, it is slow but steady).
3. Same thing for hairline (did this when I wore hats and sunglasses this year - geesh hair can be so tempermental)
4. Stay on the ayurvedic/natural path with products (It works so no need for me to break it!)
5. Update my fotki every 2-3 months instead of monthly.
6. Have a fire sale for the 50-11 products I bought and did not need nor can I use.
That reminds me: Head over to product exchange board next.
