Right now, my goal length is Full WL. I should be grazing WL by the end of this year and hopefully by next spring, I will be Full WL. From my understanding, you move into maintenance mode. What does that entail? How often do you trim your ends?
 
I think after I reach HL TL I'll start maintenance mode which is sticking to my regimen and doing pretty much what I do now except I'll wear it down more and not just ps all the time just half the time. I think I'll keep my trim schedule 2x a year 1-2 inches off that will keep my ends thick and healthy.
I'm in th CL challenge but that's for fun since it's a couple inches from TL.

Maintenance mode basically. At that stage I can focus heavily on my ends and try and keep them blunt and even, without losing too much length.

I'm maintaining my length now so I trim an inch every couple of months. Other than that, my regimen is pretty much still the same. Keepin it simple :yep:
 
When I reach HL I haven't decided if I will go ahead and grow to TBL or start maintaining. I don't know if I would want blunt TBL but I do want full HL. Maybe I will let it grow to TBL and then keep cutting it back. Hmmmm decisions,decisions.
 
My goal is to reach waist-length next year...:pray:
I think once I reach it I'll begin to trim it every once in a while so that its a FULL, no denying, no neck tilting length:ninja:

I don't want to just maintain it though..hey if it wants to grow longer, I'm game!:grin:
 
Once I reach hip length blunt I'm gonna maintain and just keep trimming back to that length keeping my ends fresh.

I can't imagine a time when I won't have a new goal. As long as its growing and healthy, I am game for a new goal. I set goals when I achieve the one before, so now my goal is BSL.
Maybe I will be done setting goals when I find that I have too much hair to deal with.
 
More than likely maintaining, but I am a little ways away. Also, my goal has adjusted from BSL to MBL after my recent salon visit this past Saturday.

Hopefully :pray: :pray: I will full WL by the end of the year. Next year, hopefully :pray: :pray: I will reach my goal of HL and hopefully be going into TBL...Full TBL status is something that I long for and I know once I reach full TBL, I am going to cut my hair into layers, dye my hair (cause I'm on a no-dye challenge-whole head right now), and alternate between curly and straight styles!
 
Goal = BSL, when I get there I'll be trying African Exports "signature style" - It's the business.
 
Well, my long-term length goal is WL but when I get there I might continue to grow it out lol. I'm hoping to make BSL by the end of this year and when that happens I'm going to work on maintenance for my ends, thickness and continued scalp care. I'm looking forward to getting side bangs and getting highlights!!:grin:
 
Maintenance mode...when I reached WL I first wanted to go to HL and then I was like hell no, too lazy to maintain all that hair...So I've been cutting about 2 inches at every relaxer (I relax every 3 months). I've been doing that for over a year now...Maybe next year I'll be thinking again about trying HL but I am not sure it will fit me.. I am quite tall (5'9"), I honestly think HL hair looks better on shorter girls, dont ask me why lollll
 
I am still trying to decide. I am touching hip length now and I have a hair appointment for the first time in 4 years this weekend. I am freaking nervous and excited.

I dont know if I want layers, blunt, U-shape...I dont know. I am kinda lost.
 
I just want full BSL and then I will just maintain it with trims. Nothing much will change I will probably be even more strict with my regimen so I don't experience breakage.

I don't want to worry you more but be careful, make sure you show them where you want your hair to be after the trim or cut don't just throw out a number. Please read my blog on scissor happy stylists SHS.
 
When I reach my goal I'll be headbangin' like no tomorrow while listening to my 2 favorite bands, Killswitch Engage and Metallica! Hopefully, I'll know how to sweep pick and two handed tap on electric guitar by then. It's gon' be awesome! I might even throw in some crabcore fail just because :lachen::lachen::lachen:...

same here. As I would hit one goal I would change it to a new one. I think TL is my absolute limit and once i hit that I'll probably maintain it for a little while but knowing me i'll get bored and cut it short again :grin:
 
I'm hoping to reach my final goal of MBL in June. After that, I'll be in maintenance mode which is basically my current regimen minus growth aids (by growth aids, I mean scalp massages, certain vitamins, etc). I'll maintain it in a U shape cut and will probably go natural after awhile.

Once I reach my goal of anywhere from mbl to wl I will definitely be in maintence mode getting 1 inch trims about every 3 months when I relax. I will continue to protective style at least 50% of the time and focus more on perfecting my skin and exercise regimens.
