New Year Hair Resolutions: What are your goals for '08?

[elaine07]

Hi ladies, I was just thinking I have so many goals for 2008.
What are yours?

My goals are:

1. To reach APL by March '08
2. Work on my nape area. It's in desperate need of some TLC.
3. Thicken my hair up.... I've already started using jbco.
4. BSL by the end of '08? (Not sure about this goal, but it's worth a shot)
5. Last but not least, I'm going to TRY to become more of a DIY'er. I kinda suck at doing my own hair.

Share your hair goals w/ me ...

 

[natstar]

1. APL by March 08 as well
2. Wearing twists consistently until summer (or longer)- I don't think there will be a problem with this since its a low maintenance style.
3) Moisturize EVERYDAY regardless. Also oil scalp once a week.
4.) Deep condition after every wash regardless.
5) Take my time when detangling my twists
6) No new products for all of 08. (Except for my humectress if I run low)

I really want to surpass APL and get really close if not hit BSL by end of 08.

Hi Elaine! Good luck with your goals! Here are mine:

1. I'm going to officially start doing my own hair in 2008. That's right no more weely salon visits for me. I think ...

2. I plan to only relax 3x a year...every 17 weeks.

3. I plan to reach MBL by 12/2008

 

[SleekandBouncy]

To reach my goal of mid back.

To obtain my ideal thickness

To find the perfect balance of products and streamline my regimen

To get the perfect haircut for Summer - I want layers!!!

To finally resolve or at least discover why my hair is so dang tangly

 

[domniqqt]

1. Shoulder Length by July 08... ample time to reach it
2. Finally being able to have twists in my hair WITHOUT looking like seely after shrinkage
3) CW everyday
4.) Keep washing only once a month
5.) Deep condition more often
6.) Have a banging afro by July 08 YEAH BUDDY!!!!!!!!!!!
7.) to FINALLY be able to put my flat ironed hair in a nice sized ponytail w/out all these layers

 

[HoneyA]

Goals for 08

-to have very thick healthy hair by June 08
to continue my low manipulation regimen
-to listen to my hair and retouch as needed according to the amount of ng I have
-to reach MBL and WL without sacrificing the health of my hair
-to baby the areas of my hair most prone to breakage

 

[~*~ShopAholic~*~]

If I make WSTL by the end of '07 or beginning of '08, I plan on staying there by cutting at every t-up for '08 to gain more thickness.

 

[Ivie184]

Good thread!!!!

Mine are: (1) APL by Feb. and if not then March (2) Moisturize everyday ( I know how lazy I get sometimes ) (3) Continue using ayurvedic products (3) Thicken up my edges; why does this area grow so slow (4) To reach bsl by the end of '08 (5) To successfully flat-iron my whole head without stopping afer 2 swipes


To Natstar: How do you detangle your twist now? I found the best way to detangle my twist is in 4-5 sections and detangle each part one at a time (gently raking your fingers through) with some water mixed with TJ Nourish spa or any other conditioner that has good slip. HTH

 

[Leslie_C]

1) To reach BSL in 08
2) Get self relaxing down to a science
3) put a stop to notorious breakage in my crown area for good
4) have a rock solid regimen that will grow and maintain my hair's health year-round
5) grow out my bangs....they never get past my nose (lips when straight). Im shooting for chin length as my shortest layer in 08

 

[MiWay]

My goals are:

• Make MBL by May and WL by Christmas
• Thicken up my hair (thinking about going natural)
• Get a good trim to even up my ends and maintain them
• Use all natural products (mainly poos and cons)
• K.I.S.S. and continue to be a DIY’er (the salon has been calling me lately)

 

[Esq.2B]

1) Stop breakage in my crown.

2) Get my hair dusted/trimmed at least once or twice. (I'm afraid)

3) Grow the hair on my left temple. (It's shorter due to a weave earlier in the year. She made my cornrows so tight they were peeling back off of my head in the front).

4) Continue to DC every wash. I just started doing this when I started lurking approx. 7 weeks ago.

5) Thicken my hair up.

6) Oil rinse at least once a month.

 

[Cinnabuns]

1) Deeeeeep condition more (meaning siting under the dryer)
2) Bun more often
3) Hit BSL before December '08
4) Find a regimine and stick with it
5) Cut PJ addiction entirely
6) Trim less often
7) Do away with the brush and use more combs
8) Try not to under process during perm-time
9) Use more oils

 

[sareca]

I've only got two:

• Texturize on schedule *I think I'm addicted to stretching*
• Keep doing what I already know works for me.

 

[envybeauty]

To reach my goal of mid back BSL for me.

To obtain my ideal thickness
