QuoteReplyTopic: Once you reach your goal....then what? Posted: March 23 2006 at 9:54am
Hello my friends. How many of you have a hair length goal? If so, what is it and what do you plan to do once you've reached it....... continue growing, maintain that length, try something else?
I really don't have a length goal. I just want my hair to be healthy and grow to whatever it's potential. I'm pretty sure though, if I ever got to waist-length I will probably stop there.......but who knows, lol.
Share your goals with us......whatever they may be .
My goal is to grow my hair to the maximum length I can attain. Mind you my hair is relaxed. Then if I happen to reach that goal, I would probably maintain the length then go natural. If I don't, then I will go natural anyways.

My hair goal is to get my "rat tail" to my shoulders. I'm not too concerned about the rest of it as long as it's healthy. As long is its nice, full, and healthy, I'd be satisfied. Once its reached my shoulders I think I'd probably be really hesitant and paranoid about what I do to my hair because I'd always be weary about breakage. I'd be really really paranoid. I'm not into the whole long hair thing(takes too long to do), so I'd probably get it evened out every once in awhile. Maybe I'll try a normal style for once, who knows. Theres my input!

I'm not sure...maybe I will straighten it for the first time. Also, I'm not exactly sure what my goal is...it was armpit length( when stretched) but my front has reached that so I'm guessing the back is pass that too.
i wonder how long my hair has to be when stretched for it to reach my armpits when shrunken?

My ultimate goal is to mid-back. I think anything else would be too much for me. I feel that I could probably do more with my hair mid-back, so that's my plan. Can't wait to get there though.

Mine is healthy hair also - I'm at armpit length and not too concerned about length. I'm quite pleased with how my hair is going as my thin sides seem to be growing back.
I just want a hassle free regimen. I am finding that simplicity but consistency is the key for me. My hair doesn't need a lot of products.

When I reach my goal of tailbone length, I will wear my hair down more often and in the styles I used to wear before I started doing protective styles 24/7. (ie. wear it in one long braid, in Victorian hairdos, gothic styles, and in ethnic, tribal styles. )
I think I will still let it grow... to thigh length at the most (I probably won't like it that long), but the growing of it will be more passive instead of active like it is now.

My short term goal is armpit length all the way around. It's growing faster in the back than it in the front. I should be there by the end of this year barring any accidents with scissors.
Long term goal is relaxed waist-length. After that...I probably will start growing the natural hair and trimming the relaxed ends, only because I don't really see the point in paying for a relaxer if I'm going to trim the ends to maintain the hair at a certain length! Not to mention that the ends will probably be insanely fragile by the time my hair actually gets that long!
Make every day you have count, before the time comes for you to count every day you have.
My ultimate goal is to grow my hair to Tailbone using MTG then get a blunt cut at waistlength so I will have full ends. After that I will stop using MTG and just stick with WGO since it is only $7.99 at Sally's, it promote growth and is a great detangler (at that length I will need some serious detangling after washing). If it wants to keep growing after that point I will just maintain the length as it grows and get the necessary trims to keep it looking good.
Well I have a waist length goal ,, i think i will be
satisfied when that happens ,, it will be a good 2 and
half years or more right now im arpmit in front

2. Trim (layered and all) and keep it maintained at the same length.
3. Allow to keep growing, just not be as obsessed with it.
I haven't yet decided. I love the layers, but I'm wondering if waist length layered hair will be more of a hassle than blunt cut (or not).
