Last week I shared with you all my New Years Resolution, but I forgot to share my Hair Resolution! One fact about me you may not know, I am from Texas and you know how the saying goes “Everything is bigger in Texas” and hair is no exception! I love big hair and the picture above is one of many that have motivated me to set some hair goals for 2014. I know I know we girls take our hair so seriously, but we can’t all wake up flawless some of us have to work at it. I have created a video below that shares my resolve to not use direct heat on my hair for the next 12 months in an effort to retain length and I performed a length check just to see where I am starting on my hair journey for 2014!
Often times I would blow dry my hair out to not only add volume and fullness to my desired style, but to reduce the amount of single stand knots I get. If your hair is naturally curly you know that curls particularly tight curls often time curls up on itself and forms a knot. The only way to get a single strand knot out is to either untie each individual not (who has time for that) or cut it out. Well I always opt for the latter which leads me to trim my hair way to often therefore causing me to not retain as much length as I would like. As a solution to avoiding both heat and single strand knots I will be and have used Curlformers to stretch my hair weekly. My goal is to grow and RETAIN six inches of hair over the next year, based off the fact that on average we all grow 1/2 inch of hair a month.
The great thing is that I don’t have to just wear my hair in curls as pictured above, but I can do many of my usual styles including a Flat Twist Out which I love!
Do you set any hair goals for 2014? Have any tips for retaining length? Leave me a comment.
I can never seem to make up my mind about my hair. OneminuteI want it long, the I want it short. Then hmmmm, maybe I should add some color.
All I know for sure is that I want it to be easy to maintain, shiny and healthy. At the moment my hair is short but I can see myself already wanting to grow it back.

I love that you are so open to new styles!
I have ridiculously naturally curly hair and it’s the kind that is very hard to tame. I get keratin treatments at the salon and it’s completely saved my hair!
I am glad you have found something that works for you and your hair texture!
I haven’t set any hair resolutions for 2014 but maybe I should?

***BLUSHING*** Thanks Bernetta!
My only goal for my hair is to hopefully keep it healthy! LOL! Yours looks amazing.
Thanks Felicia!
Oooohhhh – your hair looks awesome! I love the curls. My hair is more wavy than curly. I wonder if it would work. It gets so dried out with heat styling!
Hi Chrysa! Curlformers works on all types of hair I would definitely recommend you try it.
Im actually looking to grow my hair again in 2014. I grew it long for my wedding and then chopped it off after. Now in the process of growing!
Do you do anything special when your growing your hair out?
Good luck with your hair resolution. I haven’t considered that for my own, but it really could use some TLC.

Do you have any special regimen that helps you to retain length?
Your hair looks amazing curly! I wish mine looked that good when it’s not straight.maybe my resolution should be to work on a curly style that works for me!

Thanks sis! I no longer do henna I have started using box dyes.
I really liked the top bun style on you. I say it’s good to experiment with different hair styles. Just keep your hair healthy and have fun

Those curls from the curl formers look gorgeous. I can never get my hair to hold that kind of curl though, to fine 🙁

It was interesting to see your hair journey story. It will be interesting to see how things go over the course of the next year.
