Now that 2007 is here, with regards to your hair, what do you resolve to continue doing, or start doing, or discontinue doing? Mine: Keep hair better moisturized. Don't let it get so dry. Apply more oil and water when needed. Also, be more patient sometimes. Continue doing periodic S&D once every couple of months. I might consider continuing to try to learn how to do effective scalp washes, but I'm close to giving up on that one (the last time I tried it was a nightmare). |

After reviewing what my goals for 2006 were ... I'm fairly sure I will keep the same and add a few others. My 2006 resolutions: *To learn how to S/D correctly. *Learn new hair styles *Take my vitamins daily *Go from waist length to classic (or longer) *Visit my Hair Guru more often. (Hi Dave!) I learned a lot about my hair last year. Now, I just want to be a little more patient and care for my hair like I should. ------------- As fate would have it, my business is all about you. |

Diet and exercise, I suppose, are the main things I feel I need to work on. I'm not overweight and don't have a problem maintaining my weight, but I do need to eat healthier foods. I do exercise some... walking 3 miles a day, some sit-ups and push-ups. (I have an exellent motivation - if I don't get at least some exercise, my back hurts.) But I'm not regular enough about it and I'm not in as good of shape as I'd like to be/have been.
This doesn't seem hair-related, but hair and skin reveal what's inside. I know that the better my overall health is, the better my hair will grow. And lately I've been reading up on the types of foods to eat to improve dry hair and skin (both of which I suffer from).
other goals:
~ buy a fresh supply of products before I run out
~ practice braiding more often (i've lost one of my 2 top "models") and learn new styles ------------- sarah 40 inches did henna for the first time http://hairbraider.spaces.live.com - click here to go to My Hair Space

Hi MsSerenity! (waves) Is it time for a trim to lessen the appearance of "the chunk?" Sarah, I'm almost afraid to ask what happened to the one of your top models. I can only hope "moved away," instead of some other possibilities. |

No Dave, she didn't cut her hair.  I just don't see her that much anymore. I'm actually very proud of her that she's taking much better care of her hair now than she has in the past, and it has grown to just past her waist. She's just stopped hanging around so much and constantly asking me to do her hair. She still gets me to trim for her, but that's about all.------------- sarah 40 inches did henna for the first time http://hairbraider.spaces.live.com - click here to go to My Hair Space

I've been so busy over the last year I've gotten lazy with my styling. I throw it up in a bun way to often!
This year I hope to show it off more with some new braids and let it down a bit. I only wear my hair down once or twice a year. I have to find ways to wear it down more often.
Anyone have pointers for wearing it down, let me know.
By the way.. what's S&D and scalp washes?

Its nice to know others are trying to better their bodies just as much as their hair.If your body isnt healthy chances are you'll see it in your hair. New years resolutions 2007: 1.Eat in moderation,and exercise at least a few times a week. 2.No Chemical dyes 3.No heat whatsoever 4.Even out my edges when I reach chin length. 5.Take care of my scalp just as much as the length 6.forget about my hair for at least a little bit so it can grow,lol Gypsydoll-S&D is Search and destroy,To be honest I'm not sure about scalp washes? -------------

Scalp wash is when you shampoo your scalp only without putting shampoo all through your hair.
In case you don't know... search and destroy is referring to trimming the tips of individual hairs to remove split ends. ------------- sarah 40 inches did henna for the first time http://hairbraider.spaces.live.com - click here to go to My Hair Space

1. Give away my hair dryer and flat iron (done 12/31/06)
2. Go to a hair meet (done 12/31/06)
3. Meet some more inspirational long haired folks
4. Wear my hair up more often
5. More scalp massages (morning and evening if possible)
 It's always nice to put a few on the list that you can cross off right away!! -------------

I forgot to mention that I won't use any heat at all. I never do, so I forgot about it. Also to deep condition more often.

Now that I've got my ends looking so much thicker I'm going to work on keeping them that way without any more trimming

** not being afraid to trim away the old bleach/dye damage if I need it (just did this last week - hair looks and feels so better)
** check out martial arts schools (with my BF, yay) as well as keeping up the jogging 3x a week for weight control ** wear my hair up more to stop it from breaking. 2a, F, i hair, 23 inches (just above BSL) with about 8 inches of old chemical damage that is slowly but surely growing out! My goal is waist. |

I went 7 months without heat last year, and my hair was no better if not worse than it is now where I do the ocassional blowdry/flat iron. So no more of the no heat thing for me.
No real resolutions. I just let it grow and not really worry about it anymore. I'm really liking the new tapered bangs I had cut... it changes my look from high school which was 3 years ago already. ------------- |

Here are last year's and whether I accomplished them: - Reach a length that "looks tailbone" not IS tailbone... so about almost-classic. (*reached!) - Pick up my green tea habit again - green tea is supposed to be good for hair! (*picked up a red tea habit) - 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. (*debatable) - Learn how to do Leia's Swirly Bun (*invented a new bun) And for 2007...
- reach classic length
- find better buns that don't hurt the scalp
- wear it down more
- eat more vegetarian food
- do more S&D
love
