By this time next year I will have

Reached: APL and on my way to BSL.

Have hair that is: thicker, healthier, and better in quality thanks to taking better care of myself.

I'll do these things to achieve these goals.
I practice low-manipulation and protective style 24/7 because it's easy and it works for me. Basically just pre-oil, wash, condition, detangle, braid and repeat with moisturizing in-between washes. Now if only I could master patients while dentagling.
