One of my new ambitions is taking better care of my hair and retaining length. I have been natural for 4 years but this is the first time I have made a conscious effort to take better care of my hair. I have set a short term goal of getting to armpit length hair by January 2011. My ultimate goal is to be at least bra strap length by January 2012.  I will be updating my blog as to what I am doing to my hair to get to this goal. I started this healthy hair journey in August 2010. I haven't straightened my hair since January 2010 so this is the most recent picture of my straightened. I won't be straightening my hair again until January 2011.  But in the meantime I'll update my blog as to the styles and products that I'll be trying.
