Yes ma'am its that time again .

What are your goals to next year and What do you plan to do differently? It could be anytime.

1. No skipping the DCing. I get lazy but no more.
2. If I join a challenge, I promise to participate.
3. I will make sure I take my biotin and vitamins every day like I should.
4. I will attempt to learn how to style my hair.

Lets help each other keep these goal.

In 2014 I will be an active participant in any challenges I join and like the above poster I will not buy anything that I have way too much of... Oils, conditioners, shampoo's, everything! This year I will be liquidating my very large stock.

People dont know about that Scurl. Its the truth. For me, that and Pantene Relaxed and Natural Moisturizing Creme does wonders when Im lazy.

No trims for the whole year- I'll cut ssks and that's IT!!

Cowashing or rinsing twice a week- I did a whole year experimenting with 7-10 days between washes and my hair's shorter than when it started

No more jumping from one routine to another- I know what system works for me, so I need to have a permanent seat

Being too lazy to put my hair up at night- All I have to do is put it in a pineapple and I'm too lazy for THAT!

Find a moisturizing method that works. Alternate sulfate and sulfate-free shampoo every wash. DC weekly. Protein monthly. Find a staple leave-in. Stick to one formula for making my DC's. Flatiron and trim every 6 months. Texturize every 6 months starting 1/1/2014. Reach APL.

I plan to go on a strict no-buy next year. I need to stock up on leave-in's during black friday. I need to place an order with some wholesale companies before the year is out.

1. Keep taking Biotin once a day
2. Leave co-washing alone. It was fun. But, my hair's fine and it doesn't need much manipulation.
3. Shampoo once a week and dc afterwards.
4. Use more protein. I slacked big time.
5. Trim hair twice a year.
6. Stick with the low-purchasing of products (i.e. remain a regular customer of two lines only)
7. Do only one full henna treatment a year and 11 "touch-ups" for the rest of the year.
8. Focus on bigger hair (even though my new goal is WL by December 2014)

In 2014, Destination: waist length. You are MINE in 2014. By any (natural) means necessary.

Continue to maintain full MBL/grazing WL throughout my second year of transitioning, trimming as needed.
Continue bi-weekly washing/deep conditioning.
Try again with lace wigs as a protective style.
Put some braids in during the summer.
Straighten my hair 2-3 times in 2014.

Reach full APL
Get on a trimming schedule. I tend to hold on to dead ends far too long.
Find a good protein treatment. I'm not happy with anything I have done do far.

2. Stretch my relaxers to 6 months and only get 2 relaxers per year.
3. Reach a healthy full APL.

1. Not going to be length obsessed.( I am very close to my goal, so less pressure. I am walking there instead of running there)

2. No cutting. I took off about an inch for a "trim" and I didn't like the way that felt. I thought I would cut my hair into a bob, but that last trim taught me that I am no where near ready

3. Enjoy my hair. PS when needed but no over obsessing over it. I have been doing this for the past couple of months and I am really enjoying the journey more.

1. Find a salon and a superb stylist. I don't think that I want to DIY (all the time) anymore.

2. Experiment with straight styles. I love being natural, but I've been sporting a halo of curls for at least the last 15 years, and frankly, I'm getting bored. I'm bored with updos, twists, and braids, too.

3. Stick to my challenges. I always forget about them, or just quit. I'm going to stick with the ones that I join through 2015 - when I hit WL.

4. Get to BSL.

My resolution is to stick to my PS/low manipulation regimen and reach my APL goal. I have a bad habit of getting bored, so once I reach CL/SL I start slacking. No more of this! From now on I'm going to continue doing what works for the retention and health of my hair.
