Hair Goals
Dec 17^th, 2004 at 1:18pm

What are everyone's personal hair goals? Short term, long term, anything in between? Any anything from length, color, hair toys, styles mastered, etc...

My goals are:
To reach classic length by 27. Just under 2 years away, and 12 inches according to my last measurment. I'm hoping to keep up some fast hair growth or this will have to be pushed out.

Once I reach classic length, to spend 3 years getting regular trims, so that at the end of 3 years I'll have virgin hair back. I'm hoping that because I'm taking good care of my hair that I will have very few split ends when I don't have chemically treated ends.

Then to grow as long as it can.

As far as styles, I want to learn them all. All my braiding projects are on hold for now though, so I can't think of specific ones to learn first.

I figure that knee-length would be another two years, but during the gap between classic and knee-length I'd like to take off 6 inches of my thinnest ends, so it'll take longer than that.

Because my hair is so fine and thin, I'm first going for
waist length. That's considered very long by most people. Then I'll probably hold it there for awhile to
get the worst of the chemically treated ends trimmed
off and gather some thickness(if possible) I would love
to have classic length, but with such fine hair, I don't
know if I could maintain thick enough ends. My ends
were very thin at BSL. However, my hair was permed
at the time, so that could have definatly had something
to do with it. As much as I love colouring my hair, I have
a feeling that to get it longer than BSL and certainly waist, its going to have to be mostly "virgin" hair, because it's so fragile.

yup, same here ... i think with little trims it will take me two years or with bigger trims three years (depends on how nervous those thin layered ends will drive me!).
sometimes i think just tailbone length might look more harmonious with the body though so i am not this sure yet. i would like to try later on mid-tigh (the longest i find still nice looking, then it gets deffo too bizar and most likely too annoying for me).

I keep thinking mid-thigh will be a great length. But I love to see pictures of hair below the knees that is well cared for. If I could keep it looking good, I'd go as long as possible. (Assuming my partner will help me care for it.)

For now, it's enough for me to be impatient about the two inches it'll take to get to my waist...

Everyone tells me to go for classic. What I'll do is just grow till I get bored of it or until it starts bothering me. Growing with no particular goal in mind

I think my long-term goal is hip length hair in a good condition. A true Galadriel hair.

Short term goal is BSL. Once there, I plan to stop for a while and regain some of my lost thickness. My hair is already pretty thick, but still...it bugs me that I've lost some. Undecided

My current style goal is to learn crown braid. As my hair grows a bit, I hope I can start practicing new styles.

My current goal is just survival! With all the traveling I've been doing the past 2 months, I'm really surprised I haven't chopped it all off. On the other hand, it is nice to be able to quickly put my hair up into a bun and look classy.

More seriously - my first goal was waist length. I passed that with minimal fanfare and quickly headed to tailbone. In my confusion of exactly where tailbone was, I continued on and am now an inch or so from classic. I had planned on sitting (pun intended??) at that length for a while and trim up the ends to remove long damaged ends, and hopefully let my length thicken up a bit.

After that - who knows??

the past two days i saw tons of folks with waist length hair ... i was amazed that it's not such a "long impossible length" anymore. i still wonder why i chopped it of 5 years ago, i should have gone for longer instead (i wanted to get rid of that bell shape i hate so much by layering it but instead i got a cut that was just a few inches past the shoulders Roll Eyes

)

but well, i am again past waistlength and i find it incredibly short still Angry

I'm basing my hair goals on the Golden Proportion, and going for mid thigh or fingertip length hair (61.8% of body height, and the hair must be measured from the crown in this case). ... so by college graduation I'll be at fingertip Flaming Bunny, it's good to see you around again Anais

I don't have a specific goal per say...

I'm just letting my hair grow to see how long it'll get. Since I've had short hair for most of my life, I don't have a clue how potentially long it can get. This is the longest I've ever had it in my life!

My dream would be for it to be at the very least waist length. I don't know how realistic that is though. If I happen to achieve that, there is always a chance that it'll look really crap because my hair has lots of flyaways and seems to be getting finer the longer it gets!

One can dream though... Roll Eyes
