LHCF SUMMER 2007 - WHAT ARE YOUR SUMMER HAIR GOALS?

[bravenewgirl87]

I am making it to Shoulder Length. Its been about 6 mos and its high time i make it to my short term goal. I am a little behind schedule because of my mini chop, but i will make it there. Also, to curb breakage permanently. I had a couple of incidents with straightening my hair. In my opinion, i should be able to straighten it without it breaking off or the ends tangling. I just think i need more strenght. I have the moisture down-pat but i need more protein.

 

[chocolate01]

Reduce the amount of heat I put on my hair
Twists all summer
Color

 

[guesswho]

I want to finally try a henna gloss
And I want to reach waistlength in the future that's my ultimate goal but I really want to rock blunt shoulder length curly look so I might consider cutting to shoulder length I'm still deliberating.

 

[MonaLisa]

[senimoni]

-Drink more water. I'm shooting for a gallon a day
-Workout 4-5X a week
-I'd love to do some more rollersets but with working out so much it seems pretty pointless.
-BSL (per my bra) taking into consideration I need a trim.

 

[gloomgeisha]

Great topic! I'd love to be full armpit length in the back and shoulder length in the front and crown. My crown is almost there, but my bangs could use a little more work.

 

[gymfreak336]

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!

Yo, I could sell em in front of Dominican salons from my push cart....
and whisper at random chicks I see on the street that are follically challenged...

"Psssssst....Pssssssst....
Yo, you wanna try out one of dese here popsicles....they help grow your hair. Word up. Fifty cents, you buyin one or what?"

[sugarose]

My summer goals are:

1. To retain at least 2 inches by the end of summer.
2. To keep working on my personal "Thicken Up" Challenge.

That's about it. I am finally at the point in my hair care journey where it's all about waiting and retaining now. I have my regimen ironed out and my hair is healthy. I'm just waiting on the length, at this point.

Hopefully by the end of summer I will be 2-3 inches closer to my goal!!

ETA: I might try stretching until the end of summer to see how I feel about transitioning.

 

[ritzbitz78]

mmmmm! those nilla wafers are good. Thanks for the snack!

My hair goal is to learn how to do rollersets that don't frizz or fall in humidity. I am moving from sunny dry california to Atlanta Georgia this summer. So my hair regimen is probably going to change.

 

[HollyGolightly1982]

1. Keep hiding my hair until September
2. Keep baggying at night
3. Gain at least two inches of length.
