Are you relaxed/natural/texlaxed/transitioning?

What are you planning to do with your hair for the summer?

What's your goal by the end of summer?


For me:

Are you relaxed/natural/texlaxed/transitioning?
I'm transitioning, almost 2 years in

What are you planning to do with your hair for the summer?
I'm planning on doing a sh*tload of braidouts, cowashing and DCing at least every 2 weeks. When I'm lazy I'll just do some buns.

What's your goal by the end of summer?
I hope to have at least 2 more inches of growth and BC in August
 
I'm natural, and plan to do a lot of wash n' gos and may try twists again, as long as I don't get a lot of breakage. I'm hoping to be APL by September.
 
Are you relaxed/natural/texlaxed/transitioning?
Natural - about to hit year.....3! Holy cow! Actually - wow!! Today IS my 3 year anniversary!!! :woot: :woohoo: *buttwiggledance*

What are you planning to do with your hair for the summer?
Most likely twists - I'm experimenting with smaller twists and keeping them in for two weeks at a time - we'll see. Otherwise, I might start trying to bun my loose hair, but I don't think it's quite long enough to do that without putting more stress on it.
I'm going to keep DC'ing, keep sticking to protective styles, and I want to try to figure out a way to re-incorporate MT into my life - I just don't feel like applying it nightly! *sigh*


What's your goal by the end of summer?
Hair longer than my hair is right now. Summer is my quick growth time though, so I've got no worries that I'll be able to achieve that. I MIGHT be able to hit a high APL by the end of the summer - I'm so salty I don't have a camera anymore. *kicks rocks*
 
Are you relaxed/natural/texlaxed/transitioning?
I am relaxed


What are you planning to do with your hair for the summer?
I am going to give the wigs a break this summer and wear my hair in a ponytail and braidouts. Lots of co-washing and deep conditioning if I can take the heat.


What's your goal by the end of summer?
I am trying to get over the shoulder length hurdle by Fall/September. I will be happy with whatever progress i get. Hair is in good condition minus the kitchen..well the wig comb ate it up a bit but it can be fixed. it's not too bad.

OH YEAHHHHH! :drunk:

all last summer i was washing and going (lol) and got great growth, but i had such great results after keeping it put away for a month that i think i'm gonna go with braids/twists for the majority of the summer. maybe i'll start with some wet n wavy braids, or maybe some more senegalese twists. i plan on starting a week or two after graduation...i'm excited.

ETA: my goal is to be BSL by my birthday in October...

Natural

What are you planning to do with your hair for the summer?

I just chopped off all my hair and feel absolutely, positively liberated! :yep: It's now 0.25 inches. I plan on doing my daily wash and go and incorporating deep conditioners, too. I want to start afresh with this hair care thing. :yep:

What's your goal by the end of summer?

To fall in love with my hair and to use products that help keep it moisturized throughout the day. I wouldn't mind having about 2 inches by the end of the summer. We'll see. I like it short and I look more striking with it that way, so I might keep it this length and then grow it out this winter.

I will be starting a fotki album, too, to keep track of the length.
 
Are you relaxed/natural/texlaxed/transitioning?
I am transitioning from relaxer to texturizer

What are you planning to do with your hair for the summer?
Just keep it growing and protective styling. Keeping it healthy and maintaining/gaining length.

What's your goal by the end of summer?
Keeping it growing and protective styling. I am getting a little discouraged with goals because the only one I have now is getting some length but I am now accepting that my hair will tell me when and if it feels like reaching goals:spinning: If I can get all of my work during the summer to give me some length for my 5th year of actual healthy hair care journey then I will be a happy camper.

Are you relaxed/natural/texlaxed/transitioning?
Natural, with shrinkage outta this world.:yep:

I'm relaxed and will probably just do CW and buns. Maybe some cornrows here or there. I intend on doing Hot Yoga a few times a week and my hair is definitely going to need to be at least rinsed after that. I went last week and my hair was soaked.

I don't really have any end of summer goals. Just continued health and length.:yep:
 
Are you relaxed/natural/texlaxed/transitioning?
I am relaxed transitioning to either texlaxed or natural (10 weeks post)

What are you planning to do with your hair for the summer?
Lots of co-washing, some braidouts, buns, and maybe wash and gos if I can

What's your goal by the end of summer?
I would love to be full MBL. :yep: Also I would like my transition to go smoothly with little to no breakage. I may try the BKT to help

What are you planning to do with your hair for the summer?
I'm planning on keeping it in extension cornrows... redoing them every two weeks. I'm gonna be busy this summer with my job and socializing ( I MISS THIS ESP :grin:) so I don't want to have to worry about my hair, at the same time I want to take advantage of this heat and get a big growth spurt!

What's your goal by the end of summer?
Well by June '09 I hope that the hair at my nap is touching APL (I thin I have an inch to go) So I want to be FULL apl by the end of summer. Crossing my fingers! I think I'll reach it :yep:

I am moving to Florida too (next month) so the weather change is also going to be an adjustment for me especially coming from Ohio. It will be interesting to see how my hair does in that weather.

I live in Orlando and the humidity here in the summer is crazy! I would suggest that you try braids, braidouts or twistouts, or halfwigs.

For the summer I plan on wearing half wigs and braiding my hair on my Army weekends and training periods.
