Good Morning Ladies,

What are your plans/goals for your Hair for the New Year?

Here is mines:
Drink MORE h20 I hate water and this has been a battle for me.
Keeping it Simple, I plan to finish this transition and rock a curly from for my b-day in November.
Right now I am getting a wash and set which last me for 2 weeks after the first week I stated oiling with JBCO, then the other 2 weeks I will bun and incorporate some dc/and moisturizing within those 2 weeks.

I have 2 bottles of Hair Formula 37 left that I need to take, they just make me so sick b/c I don't eat right. Hey I paid for them so I will use them to there gone.

My hair is just barely touching my shoulder blades now and I want to get back to APL by the end of the year.

KEEPING IT VERY SIMPLE..

So that's mines in a nut shell what is yours?

1) PUT. THE. FLAT-IRONS. AWAAAAAAAAYYYYYY!!!!!

This year I think I did some heat damage to my hair, and now I need to trim about 1/4 of an inch. For me that's kind of a lot, considering how short my hair is and how GREEDY for length I've become as of late. :look:

2) Try to remember and drink more water.

3) Keep fingers out of hair all the time! I really need to reduce manipulation and start wearing more protective styles.

4) Work on my twisting techniques and possibly learn to french braid. (I'll try!)

5) Explore ways to stretch my hair WITHOUT using heat! :grin:

6) Work on styling techniques in general. It's been 11 months now and I don't think I've really explored the possibilities my natural hair is capable of.

  2. Moisturize & steam more.
  3. Leave out dairy, i know this has nothing to do with hair but it a major part of my skin & health.
  4. Kick up the green smoothies & juices
  5. Not relaxing under crazy hair pressure
  6. I really want to dye my hair, so if i do, i will have to step up my protein conditioning.
