Hair Goals
I always wanted bouncing shoulder length
hair. For years my relaxed hair would always seem to “stop” growing just barely
grazing my shoulders. Stuck in-between neck and shoulder length. No matter what I tried, my hair was always
stuck in a ‘mid length’ rut. I hadn’t
realized that my hair’s potential solely relied on me, and how consistent I was
with a healthy routine. In order to
reach my hair goals, I set small goals that help me to reach my larger goal. My
1st goal was to find a regimen I could stick to. It had to be easy,
fast, and right for my dry/thick hair.
Since going natural I have updated
my routine countless times. I alter my regimen depending on the weather, my current style, and my current short term
goals. I distract myself with challenges like, the no length check, JBCO
challenge, and protective styling challenge. These challenges allow me to focus on one aspect
of a Healthy Hair Journey and stop obsessing over the larger goal (Awe inducing,
jaw dropping, bigger than big, view blocking hair).
Almost 3 years into my
journey and my hair is longer and healthier than ever.
- o My 1st year my hair was Neck Length, I did a lot of protective styling & Buns
- o My 2nd Year my hair was Shoulder Length, I did a lot of protective styling & Braidouts
- o As I’m coming closer to my 3rd anniversary, my hair is just shy of Arm Pit Length, I’ve worn my hair in ‘out’ styles more often, and find I have to seal and moisturize more often. I find myself reaching for Head wraps on bad hair days.
I’m currently Distracting myself
with a JBCO Challenge, then I will jump into a protective style challenge, and
the inversion method challenge (Details
to come). Today I have new hair goals, healthy Mid Back Length. Share with us your hair goals! Anyone out
there reaching for Knee Length?!
