Any 2007 Hair Resolutions

[bajanplums1]

I have to do some resolutions. In the last 6 weeks I have been lazy and visited the hair salon 4 times. The result----BREAKAGE and broken ends! So now I have to spend January to June rehabilitating.

I;ve made myself some hair resolutions

1. No visits to the salon but for a touch up (maybe I'll learn to do my own).
2. Only 2 touch ups from now until June 30
3. Protein conditioners every 6 weeks
4. Continue to airdry the hair only.


So, let's see if I will reach my goal of armpit by June 2007.

I have neglected my hair for about 3 years. It has grown out alot but I am constantly trimming from all this neglect!!

My Resolutions:
Wash my hair at home at least 1x a week
Find products and a regime that work for me
Keep salon visits down to 1x bi monthly or special occasions only.
Use the head dryer which is collecting dust in my closet for roller sets.


Pray for me-lol

 

[LocksOfLuV]

My resolutions:

I will continue to deep condition weekly!

I will continue to use direct heat only every 3-4 mos.

I will NOT blowdry!

I will stick to my regimen and products (okay so maybe I am lying about the products)

I will moisturize my situation daily.

I will continue to baggie to retain my ends.

I will NOT clip unless neccessary.

for summer of '07 i plan on wearing more twist styles. not the tiny ones which i LOVED but had an awful time taking down (tangle-city) on wash days but the medium sized ones.

humidity is gonna be a humdinger for my hair this year so gonna rock dem twists all sorts of ways as much as i can until the fall.

[Candy1978]

My 2007 Hair Resolutions are to :

1) Deep Condition 2 times per week
2) Stretch Relaxer atleast 4-5 months
3)NO direct heat AT all on my hair for the entire year
4)Reach My goal of APL

 

[EbonyHairedPrincess]

First I am going to really reduce the time, energy and money I put into my hair. Reduce routine to bunning for a year (except special occasions), wet almost daily (keep ends moist and protected). Wash at least 2x a week. It’s not necessary FOR ME to keep up the madness. As long as I eat semi-decent and take my vitamins my hair grows. I just need to focus on maintaining the length which means low heat, low manipulation and keep my ends moisturized. It’s that simple. Next I am going to challenge myself to tell women about the forum. If I see them looking at my hair. I am going to ask if they ever visit the hair care sites that are online, for example: www.longhaircareforum.com, www.growafrohairlong.com, www.motowngirl.com, www.ubhpublications.com, www.tlhs.org, www.pg.com/science/haircare. I see alot of people who are shocked at my length. Because my hair has always been short. I refuse to be a hair snob I am going to preach healthy hair to the masses.

 

[MissFallon]

Dedicate myself to crown and glory method atleast for 4 months (2 months in braids, 2 months out)

Don't try anything new and mess up my regimen again (last time I tried this I had breakage for two months)

Always to remember to use heat protectant on my roots (I now have a permanently straight part in the front of my head that will make me have to transition for an extra year)

Grow my hair to midback by May

 

[TowsonGirl]

I plan to:

*Not Blowdry (I havent since August '06)
*Try not to flat iron
*Keep Trouble Area (nape) cornrowed
*Drink more water and be consistent with vitamins
*Deep condition with every wash
*Eat Healthier (cuz healthy hair starts with a healthy body)

 

[glamazon386]

To continue to take my vits and to leave my hair alone so it can grow undisturbed.

 

[SouthernGirl]

Here are mine:

1) Update my regimen and stick to it
2) Stay diligent with my transition all year - no matter how tough it gets as more newgrowth comes in
3) Get back on the fast hairgrowing track so that I can get to 100% natural in less time than expected
4) Experiment with transitional styles and document everything in my Fotki so others may benefit

Over the past year or so since reaching my length goals, I have gotten REALLY lazy. I haven't stuck to a regimen and have really not had any goals. Going natural will be a major challenge for me, as I know nothing about caring for natural hair. I'm happy about going into the New Year with new hair goals again

[CarLiTa]

my 2007 hair resolutions:

-ROLLERSET (I have been saying that for how long now, but now that I'm about to experience real winter and can't afford setbacks on my way to waistlength, i'm going to finally get on it!)

-MOISTURIZE DAILY (started doing that again. Getting compliments on the shiny hair. Always a good thing)

-DEEP CONDITION WEEKLY (have slacked off a bit, but will get back on it too)

-WILL DUST MY ENDS EVERY 2 MONTHS (stopped doing that. Therefore when I see the stylist, she trims for me, and you know how they are. Dusting makes me not have to get a real trim for a good while. Maybe I will trim every 6 months)

-TAKE MY VITAMINS (for my overall health. I eat healthy, but still am missing vitamins and I'm so lazy. They're right there, I just don't take them)

 

[Proudpiscean]

My resolutions for 2007:

1. Continue transitioning without the use of heat.
2. Crown & Glory method (depending on how my hair reacts).
3. Regular deep conditioning treatments (1-2/week when not braided).
4. Henna every other week.
5. Co-washes twice per week.
6. Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize!
7. Continue vitamins/supplements.
