Here at the links to goals & my looking back at my goals 6 months on posts. This post my seem slightly representative of my 6 months on post so I apologies in advance.
Goal #1: stretching for longer than 6 weeks (yes i know SHOCKING) to every 3 months/holiday season (which means Christmas, Easter & Summer).
I'd managed to successfully achieve this by stretching my first relaxer for 3 months followed by 11 weeks and now i'm going on 29 weeks post!
Goal #2: Weaving protective styles (either weave or braids) for 8 out of 12 months.
Success! My hair was relaxed June 20th 2012 and left out for nearly three months and in between protective styles i'd leave my hair out for about a weak at a time.
Goal #3: *Perfecting a regimen that I will stick to in the future - this included finding my staple products.
I've managed to discover new staple products such as the African Pride Braid Spray, Coconut Oil, Herbal Essences Beautiful Ends Leave in & the Affirm Relaxer etc but I still need to find a staple detangler & deep conditioners.
3 month into my HCJ & I created Goal #4: Finding a new salon/Hairdressers and not going back to my Aunt
After getting my relaxer overlapped 3 months into my HCJ by my Aunt I made the decision to go on a hunt for a salon to get my relaxers done. I then found a "professional" salon nearby which was quite expensive but they ended up under-processing my hair severely. I also tried a hairdressing college (again nearby) which did a fair job (better than the other two) but my hair was still under processed (although only slightly) and I was a bit sceptical about letting students relax my hair.
So by the looks of things, in 2013 I'll need to:
- find a staple detangler, moisture based deep conditioner and protein based deep conditioner
- and a new salon/give the one's i've been to a second chance.
