Healthy, thick hair that retains more moisture and has little to no split ends and single strand knots.
I'm also looking forward to my first Hide My Hair hairstyle for 2 months. I'm going to try and hide my hair for most of the colder months.
My 2012 goal was to find out more about my hair, nail down staple products, and straighten my hair for a length check on my big chop anniversary. I've done most of it, including finding an entire line that my hair adores. I will not straighten this year because my hair needs a little more tlc. Will move that goal to September 2013.

I don't know.
But I'm just starting to incorporate more protein into my regimen. This is supposed to help with moisture retention which should help with split ends and knots. I may not be 100% rid of them like I would want. But to reduce them would be great. I also plan to get regular trims. I wasn't doing that before.

My 2012 hair goals are full APL, healthy hair and baby my edges and a thinning spot on my crown. It looks like I'm going to achieve it all and will do an assessment in December. 2013 will focus fully on healthy hair and growing it to full BSL.

Making Waist length. Making sure my ends are well maintained and battling these SSKs.

It Always Been About Hair!
This year I was hoping to get to WL. I still have a few months to possibly graze it so we'll see. Next year I'm just going to try and keep it on my head. If I retain longer than WL by the end of 2013 then good ridden. Possibly will be too much hair for me to tolerate. But again, we'll see.

I don't remember if I had a hair goal for 2012. I think I finally made APL and may be a little past it now.
I hope to be BSL/MBL and approaching waist length by the end of 2013.
I plan to go low manipulation. I'm CGing it right now. I want to get long kinky twists soon. I may try to wear braids all winter.
What was your hair goal for 2012?
To reach APL
Have a more refined regimen
Did you make your goal?
Yes I made APL
I'm getting closer to creating a set regimen, but I'm still tweaking some things
What is your 2013 goal?
BSL
Concrete regimen with very inexpensive products
Better at styling
What are you planning to do to reach your goal?
PSing with braids beneath wigs for a year
Trying some more products, but doing as much research as possible first
Practicing different styles during the few times my hair is out

I didn't really make a goal for 2012. I had a major set back at the end of 2011 so my focus was nursing my hair back to good health 
... In May I cut of 2 inches is from the front half of my hair in order to even it out with the back that had broken off. That took me from SL back to NL.
Now I'm hovering on SL stretched. I have not used heat on my hair since February. Improper use of heat was what caused my breakage. I hope to be back to full SL by December.
I don't want to make any goals for 2013... I just want to figure out what works best for my hair and stick with that. I've been fighting this hair battle for 4 years now

@ the bolded: my first thought was "well, everyone should be welcome here regardless of their inclinations" my second thought was "well, what has being a tranny got to do with hair?" and i kept thinking, till it clicked!

@ZebraPrintLover tasked me with coming up with another alternative, but I couldn't think of one. I told her this shortened version has been taken and cannot be successfully re-purposed.

Goal for 2012: to get my hair in a ponytail/bun, make APL, and get my regimen down.
Accomplished? Yes, I can get my hair in a ponytail. No, I have not made APL yet, but if all goes well, I am on track for a few layers to be there by the end of the year. I don't think I need I strict regimen; I do a combination of what I feel like and what my hair needs.
Goals for 2013: to get my hair into a very comfortable, loose ponytail/bun; to learn more styling options; and to get to maintenance length - MBL. To accomplish it, I will keep doing what I am doing.

After I (hopefully) make WL sometime this Dec-Feb, my goal is to continue to cut my hair at WL for most of 2013 to make my ends super thick.
Then next fall I'll decide if I want to go longer or continue to cut at WL.
Right now I think WL is a good length for me. As most of you know, long hair is hard to manage. Right now I'm 2.5 inches away from WL & it's a ton of work... However, it's manageable for me. Im not sure if I could comfortably handle longer than WL. I may change my mind, though.

My goal for 2012 was BSL length hair and I'm maybe a half inch away (even though my friend says it's already there), so hopefully I can claim it fully by my birthday in December
My next goal is grazing midback by late April (in time for my graduation ceremony for my Master's degree). I want to be full midback by the end of next year. I'm going to keep up my minimum heat, maximum moisturizing, protective styling regimen. *fingers crossed*

What was your hair goal for 2012?
To have make APL in the bottom back and have Shoulder Length in the front and middle (my hair grows in weird layers AND I experienced breakage in the middle/crown area).
Did you make your goal?
It's not the end of the year yet, so I won't know until then. I know with diligence and care, I'll make APL.
What is your 2013 goal?
After I make APL 12/31/12, I plan to: 1. Roller set more often, 2. use braid or twist extensions and 3. trim my hair to a blunt, APL cut. By the end of 2013, I will be floating somewhere between BSB and BSL
What are you planning to do to reach your goal?
Use grape seed oil/castor oil combo, protect my ends. Leave direct heat alone. Also, no color. I've had a few grays since I was a freshman in college, but I have yet to stick with a regimen for my color treated hair. I start of great, but I get lazy and h.3!l breaks loose on my head. So, I don't even bother with color anymore. I wanted to try a rinse, but my second bottle of color showers turned over in the cupboard. De Lawd was trying to tell me something.

Did you make your goal?To be honest, I don't know. I haven't used heat since December 2011.
What is your 2013 goal? MBL or WL, whatever. Since I don't use heat often, whatever comes by the time I do use heat, I'm cool with, you know?
What are you planning to do to reach your goal? Keeping my hair regimen simple as always.

What was your hair goal for 2012? APL and healthy hair
Did you make your goal? As of August, I did. Hopefully by the end of the year, I can claim full APL.
What is your 2013 goal? MBL by the end of the year and to finally have all of my staples established.
What are you planning to do to reach your goal? Keep doing what I'm doing- PS in Celies for 2 weeks at a time, M&S daily, shampoo and DC every 2 weeks, dust every 3 months.
