2014 New Year Resolutions! - Challenges, projects, etc

[chen bao jun]

I am going to make an opposite resolution than most--wash more often! I'm a 3c curly (actually looking like partly 3b now, though that may be curls being weighed down with some length) who grew up treating my hair as if it were type 4 and since it was either chemically straightened or straightened with a flat iron (or hot comb) or BOTH for a significant portion of my life I got used to str-e--etching washes. You do that when your hair is processed --its such a pain to re-straighten each time you wash that you put it off! Also, in my quest for length I have loved the fact that the longer between washes the straighter it gets (and hence looks longer). However I notice that my hair feels great the first 4 days or even 5 after a wash, but after that the ends especially get very very dry and now that it is bra strap (older) short pieces sometimes break off. I want to resolve to wash my hair every 4-5 as its no longer a troublesome thing to do at all. (I actually enjoy it, but old habits break hard).

My only resolution was to never again drink orange juice immediately after brushing my teeth. I did that on the 30th and that sealed the deal for me, yuck.

I have other health related things I am working on but they have been ongoing for months and aren't really resolutions.

Right just had my tape measure out, and even if it carries on at its measly 1cm a month, I will definitely make apl. So if it speeds up with a little help from biotin I may well make bsl. Hurrayyy

Oh, and I plan to only dye roots not full head in the hope the bottom of my hair will look nicer.

Hair wise, in 2014 I am hoping to accomplish:

- Hip length, or very close to it. It all depends on how much I need to trim.
- Wear my hair up more often. It's already up a lot of the time, but I think I could stop being lazy and wear it up even more.
- Try new styles (to help me achieve my second goal.)
- DO NOT cut bangs into my hair again. If any of you see me talking about cutting bangs, you give me a virtual slap across the face back into reality. I love them, but I don't have the time or patience to maintain them, and somehow I always forget that.
