By the end of 2011, I want to be full MBL with thick, healthy hair and blunt ends.
What have you learned about your hair?
When treated right, it will thrive.
Your regimen?
-Stretching my relaxers for 6 mths.
-Moisturizing and sealing.
-Protective styling using buns in warm weather and wigs in cold weather>
-DC and minimal heat.
What do you expect to accomplish in the upcoming year?
My goals of full APL, BSL and MBL. Having thicker and healthier hair.
How do you plan to accomplish it? See regimen.
Are you doggedly determined to make a certain length, or are you more focused on the overall heath of your hair and nailing down your regimen?
My regimen has been consistent, and although I do think of length, I believe that health is more important.
If you have a length goal, will it be your first time getting to that length? Yes!!!!

I realized that I love my natural hair. I texlaxed outta frustration and have secretly regretted it ever since. I bc'd too soon and couldn't deal with the short hair / lack of style options besides a twa. So im gonna transition all next year and mayb beyond if I can handle the two textures. Not too concerned with a length goal because im focusing on keeping my hair healthy and finding styles that work well during my transition. Im excited...!!
So in a nutshell Dec 2011 I will be 14 months post either fully natural or still transitioning.

Transition Over
By the end of next year, I'm hoping for a healthy MBL, with thick and healthy ends. 
What have you learned about your hair?
I've learned that my hair needs to be taken care of, but it doesn't need to be obsessed over. If I just keep it clean, conditioned, moisturized, and protected, it will grow and retain.
Your regimen?
Once a week, I shampoo, deep condition, rollerset, and if necessary, I flat iron my roots. In between wash days, I moisturize and seal my ends and wear buns.
What do you expect to accomplish in the upcoming year?
I would like to accomplish thicker hair and definitely expect to accomplish healthier and fuller ends.
How do you plan to accomplish it?
I will be trimming and dusting consistently throughout the year, as well as committing to another full year of bunning. And I'm finally going to start using Joico Clinicure, which is supposed to thicken up hair.
Are you doggedly determined to make a certain length, or are you more focused on the overall heath of your hair and nailing down your regimen?
I guess both...my regimen is down pat. I know what my hair needs, and when it acts up, I know how to fix it. And I definitely want to make MBL by the end of next year. But I also want to use this year to focus on health, instead of letting it grow longer and ending up needing a cut later on.
If you have a length goal, will it be your first time getting to that length?
No. My hair was MBL when I was a child.

I'd really love to be MBL by December 2011! I plan to do that through protective styling and keeping my moisture/protein balance in check since I know that no-low manipulation really helps me to retain.
For the next year, I just plan to DC/Amla treat weekly, baggy once a week, and keep my hair mostly hidden. I'll cowash as needed.
I am doggedly determined to make MBL so that I can be on schedule to hit HL in 2013. Of course, I care about my hair's health but I have already set aside the times when I will trim and I will concentrate on focusing on the health of my ends so I won't need to trim more often. I expect to retain a lot and hopefully have NO setbacks *fingers crossed*
The longest my hair has ever been is scraping APL during my transition, so anything below that will be a first for me!

Goal:Hip length stretched
By the end of 2011 I want to be hip length. The plan is a year's stretch so I won't be retouching until October.
2010 was a year of change for me because I switched to texlaxing so I could be a DIYer all the way. I love it. I use all of the products I used with my curly perm and my hair continues to flourish. People are always making comments about how "fast" my hair grows and how there's so much of it. It seems that way to them
. To me it takes ages to grow and I'm thinking you think I have a lot of hair, you should some of the heads of hair on the hair forum I'm on.

What have you learned about your hair?
I can stretch for 10 weeks max. I'm not interested in transitioning, so I am going to continue to focus on having healthy relaxed hair. I need to lay off the heat so that I can retain more. Put the scissors down especially when I'm stretching.
Your regimen?
I wash every 7-10 days with abba pure moisture shampoo and condition with ao honeysuckle rose or rosa mosqueta (after 6 weeks post). i prepoo with almond oil sometimes, but i plan to do this more frequently. i received a hooded dryer for Christmas and will be deep conditioning with heat with my washes going forward. i use joico kpak reconstructor once a month or so followed with ao honeysuckle rose. i blowdry hair after it's 30% dry.
What do you expect to accomplish in the upcoming year?
i have layers so my goal is for my longest layers to be full mbl and my others to be bsl.
How do you plan to accomplish it?
doing what i did before but with less heat and "trims."
Are you doggedly determined to make a certain length, or are you more focused on the overall heath of your hair and nailing down your regimen?
hair health is the foundation but eyes on mbl!!.

This is a spin-off thread from Platinum's "This Time Next Year, I Want To Be..." thread.
http://www.longhaircareforum.com/hair-care-tips-product-review-discussion/340455-time-next-year-i-want.html
We are quickly approaching a brand new year, taking with it the knowledge and experience we gained during this one!
What have you learned about your hair?
I'm still learning about my hair, but what I've learned so far is that my hair loves moisture and thrives in protective styling. My hair is much healthier and thicker in its natural state than relaxed. I love my curlie ques and I'm finding what enhances them.
Your regimen?
I keep my hair in braids or two strand twists under wigs and I co-wash every week and a half or so. I also spray every other night with S-curl and BRX African Royale spray. When I twist I use ORS lock and twist gel and Jane Carter Nourish and Shine. When I have cornrows, I only use the Kimmaytube leave in. I use Aussie Moist Conditioner and Deeeep Conditioner for co-washes and Aphogee for protein treatments. I shampoo with Carol's daughter Black Vanilla (I think its called) or ORS Aloe shampoo.
What do you expect to accomplish in the upcoming year?
Totally expect to be APL by year end. I'm looking forward to a huge afrolicious puff by the summer and luscious lengths for big hair and optimal styling options.
How do you plan to accomplish it?
I plan to protective style and moisturize, moisturize, moisturize.
Are you doggedly determined to make a certain length, or are you more focused on the overall heath of your hair and nailing down your regimen?
I have to say that I want BOTH. My hair is the healthiest and strongest that its been in years so I know the health factor is there and I plan to maintain that by not using much heat or neglecting my hair. But I am doggedly determined to get APL natural hair. Big, fun, curly hair is my goal! My regimen is pretty set although I wanna try SheaMoisture products, I'm good with what I have so far.
If you have a length goal, will it be your first time getting to that length?
This my second time reaching APL and I want it badly!!
Inquiring minds want to know! More specifically, I want to know!
As for me I've learned that in spite of my hair's resistance to being straightened, it's not made of steel! I feel that I over indulged with the flat irons this year and caused some minor damage to my ends.It's probably a total of about 1/4 of an inch, but when your hair is as short as mine, that's kind of a lot. I've already given myself a light trim and will do so again in a few months or so to get rid of the rest. Lesson learned!
As far as my regimen, the only thing I plan on doing different is incorporating more protective styles! My hair is almost SL now and I know I'll really need to start protecting my ends so I can retain my length!
I expect to make full APL by the end of 2011! And yes, I am DETERMINED to make it! It'll be the first time in my life that my hair has gotten that long!
How about you?
ETA: If there is already a thread like this for next year, please let me know! I didn't see one!
Let's grow on ladies! We have this, this is our year!!

By the end of 2011, I hope to be (atleast) full BSL.
What have you learned about your hair?
I have learned that my hair needs to be detangled thoroughly.
Your regimen?
Relax every 10 weeks
Flat iron 1x month (for a length check)
Wash 1x week
DC 1x week on wash days
Cowas 2-3x week
Rollerset to airdry
What do you expect to accomplish in the upcoming year?
BSL!!
How do you plan to accomplish it?
Rollersetting more this year and not using a blow-dryer at all.
Are you doggedly determined to make a certain length, or are you more focused on the overall heath of your hair and nailing down your regimen?
Since I reached the longest length my hair has every been, Im not so concerned about length. Im more concerned about keeping my hair from breaking off.

What have you learned about your hair?
I'm still learning about my hair, but I did learn that it does love oil. An itching scalp from my funky Vatika coconut oil made me think all it could handle was water. I only use products that is 100% natural (not "natural" with fillers/additives) or make it myself, but I fear I may have to become a PJ, seeing the results others are getting with. I also found a few split ends and a mess of SSK the other day! I'm scared, but I think I may need to trim
Your regimen?
The few things I have kept consistent are protective styling, weekly wash and conditioning, and oiling my ends. I also started taking chlorella and spirulina daily. I was using some oil mixes for DCing, but they clog up my drain, so I'm going to try henna. I'm also trying out this daily new drink (carrot juice and ginger) to make my hair grow! Hopefully I can stick to these and get some length.
What do you expect to accomplish in the upcoming year?
Length is my main goal, as my hair is little manipulated. I really hope I can make it to APL. My hair has perpetually remained at SL, and I want to prove to my mom that "African hair" can grow!
How do you plan to accomplish it?
Sticking to this new plan for at least a quarter. If I'm not getting great results, I'll read about how other natural heads have made it and adapt my regimen.
Are you doggedly determined to make a certain length, or are you more focused on the overall heath of your hair and nailing down your regimen?
Length mostly, because my hair is reasonable healthy. I really want APL
If you have a length goal, will it be your first time getting to that length?
Yes, first time to have anything longer than SL.

Sticking to this new plan for at least a quarter. If I'm not getting great results, I'll read about how other natural heads have made it and adapt my regimen.
Are you doggedly determined to make a certain length, or are you more focused on the overall heath of your hair and nailing down your regimen?
Length mostly, because my hair is reasonable healthy. I really want APL
If you have a length goal, will it be your first time getting to that length?
Yes, first time to have anything longer than SL.

What have you learned about your hair?
My hair loves PH balanced products and thrives well off of a moisture/protein balance.
Your regimen?
I shampoo once a week, condition, leave-in, seal. Every single night before bed I moisturize my hair with water and oil.
What do you expect to accomplish in the upcoming year?
I expect to accomplish a great rate of retention, keeping every inch I gain and having healthy hair, split-end free.
How do you plan to accomplish it?
Consistency and patience.

I am more focused on the overall health of my hair. if my hair is healthy, I will gain the length.

My length goal is ultimately Bra stap length, unstretched (I'm natural). Meaning that with complete shrinkage, my hair should fall at my bra strap. (That's a lot!) It will be my first time getting to that length.

What have you learned about your hair?
I have learned that less is sometimes just less. Most people ascribe to the less is more philosophy, but my hair seems to like stuff.
Your regimen?
I really don't have one anymore. Everything is done on an as needed basis.
What do you expect to accomplish in the upcoming year?
In the upcoming year I plan on transitioning to natural.
How do you plan to accomplish it?
At first I planned on shaving my head and wearing wigs, but once that moment passed I decided I just won't get another relaxer touch up. I will continue to blow dry, flat iron, etc.. until my head is fully natural.

I am determined to have a head full of healthy natural hair. Length at this time is not that important, I just need enough to style.
