Hi All!
Around the holidays, I like to get thinking about New Year's hair resolutions... so I was wondering, do you all have hair resolutions for 2006? What would your primary focus be (length vs. healthy length vs. healthy ends vs., etc.)?
I have some that are hair-related.. these are crossposted from my journal: - Reach a length that "looks tailbone" not IS tailbone... so about almost-classic. And some of it should probably be trimmed off for all that inevitable combing damage. (I find that combing causes damage too, causing "stressed" hairs that have been stretched too hard but not snapped) - Pick up my green tea habit again - green tea is supposed to be good for hair! - Be happier with my length and not get hair anorexia, be happy with my thickness, especially as my hair gets longer and more difficult to work with. - Learn how to do Leia's Swirly Bun
Looking forward to seeing everyone's

ETA And if there is enough consensus, maybe we can make this a sticky thread for a couple months, ETA2 making topic a sticky, and editing for clarity
Im about 5-10 cm away from my goal (upper- waist) so here are my resolutions for 2006.
* When i have reached my first goal i need to trim every month in order
to get the damage out of my hair. (There is alot of that)
* When trimming is done and hair looks and feels healthy i would like
to grow my hair longer. I don't think the year is long enough for that
however..
* Stop feeling bad because my hair is not as thick as it was before..
* Don't color hair this year!!

NEVER visit another hairdressing salon in my life. That entails doing my own trims and colours (henna of course!).
Other resolutions:
Endeavour to learn more about natural hair care (herbs, etc.)
Get the most length I can in one year...ie no trimming in 2006
Start a hair journal
That's about it.
Just a bit off topic (but I didn't think it would be worth posting a new topic!)....I will not be around for a number of weeks as I'm having surgery in a few days which will have me laid up and out of action for some time. Anyway, I just wanted to say "Merry Christmas" and "Happy New Year" and I will "see" you all next year. Enjoy your hair over the holidays God bless!
*Feels embarrassed* Whoa coming out of lurker mode is hard... But I wanted to say how much I love all you guys and your hair tips. For once my hair actually looks and feels really healthy! I'm very happy with it.
My hair resolutions are to: 1 To resist dying or bleaching it. 2 Not to blow dry or use a straightening iron, to live with my crazy curls. - and - 3 To treat my hair gently and not rip and tear through knots. (probably the hardest for me to do...heh)
Question for you guys, hair that has a knot in the middle (like if you take a long piece of rope and tie a knot in the middle), should you cut that hair if you can't get the knot out? Does it harm the hair if the knot is in it? Also does anyone have a link where you can find info to tell what hair type you are? Thank you for any help!
Get well soon missrini
EDIT (12Dec05): Thank you LadyFrog & AnaisSatin for the information ! I really appreciate it

yoshikisquall: if your hair has a knot in the middle you should be able
to slide out the individual hairs if it's a small knot. If you really
can't untangle it, I suppose you'd better snip it out. I don't know if
having knots is bad for hair but it will cause friction which will help
form new split ends and it won't look very nice!
Good luck with your resolutions everyone!

Yoshikisquall, here is a link to Fia's Visual Hairtyping page. Fia is so awesome. The site used to be a text guide, but everyone contributed a photo and she organized it into a visual setup. Woohoo!
Missrini, all the best to you. Please check in to let us know all went well.
New Year’s hair resolutions 2006
I've been bored with my hair this past year. So my resolutions are:
1. Keep it long.
2. Try to find more ways to wear it other than a ponytail or just down. (Difficult being male....)
I went through a couple of months of a lot of shedding a little over a year ago. My ends really thinned out. I resolved to gradually work through it by cutting just a little every 6 weeks (never more than 2 inches at a time.) It is now looking thicker and better again. I'm much happier with it today than I was 15 months ago, but still bored...
Good luck miss Rini, hope all goes well. As for my hair I
would like to comb it out more gently and let it grow grow grow.
Good luck everyone and happy hollidays.
1b-M-ii type, 29.5 inches long as of 07/11/06, goal for now waist
