Thanks for all of the wonderful feedback ladies! I've noticed that alot of our goals are not just focused on length, but on health also.
I think I'll print this, just to have a something to look at when I start to feel lazy or get discouraged.
Good Luck to Everyone!!! I hope (pray and wish) that you all reach your goals in '08!

1. Reach WSL *stretched* summer of ‘08

 

[caramelcutieinva]

Reach WL by the summer
Find staples and give away or sell all old products
curb my pjism to save money

 

[Gryphyn]

My strategy for 2007 was to get serious about my hair care, and to treat my hair as if it were relaxed. This really paid off for me this year.

My goal throughout 2008 is to keep doing what I'm doing now. I also want to reach APL by the end of 08 at the latest, and to not buy any more products unless I'm replacing the ones I like after they're done.

 

[Precious_1]

I would like to be Armpit length by the time, june comes for my moms wedding. I am gonna get serious and get some curly weave in January and hide my hair for about 2 months

 

[mochatrini]

First let me say Elaine you have beautiful hair!!!!

I am new to this LHCF but I realize that if I take the time and dedication I will get my hair to reach my desired goals (which by the way are)

1. To achieve healthy hair for my fine 4a/4b texture
2. To thicken up as much as possible (have already began using JBCO and taking silica as a supplement)
3. To achieve moisture and shine
4. To increase the strength of my strands (protein right????)
5. To obtain shoulder length hair by 12/08 (right now I am short-n-sexy)
6. To learn what works best for my hair type
7. Finally to learn from my new family because I realize that you guys know more than the average hair stylists!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good luck to all of my fellow LCHF sistas in your hair goals for 08!!!!!

[mscocoface]

Goals for the year in no certain order or timeframe either.

1. MBL stretched
2. Continue to grow out my temples where there was thining from a stylist doing my twists 3 years ago, (this was before I knew any better, it is slow but steady).
3. Same thing for hairline (did this when I wore hats and sunglasses this year - geesh hair can be so tempermental)
4. Stay on the ayurvedic/natural path with products (It works so no need for me to break it!)
5. Update my fotki every 2-3 months instead of monthly.
6. Have a fire sale for the 50-11 products I bought and did not need nor can I use.

That reminds me: Head over to product exchange board next.
