It's been a long time since I've reviewed my hair goals and I think it's time I get a reality check! I've been trying to do too much, which has left me overwhelmed, tired, frustrated and resulted in some horrible setbacks.
Despite my efforts I've experienced a few pitfalls (e.g. becoming a serious PJ, breakage, scalp irritation). I decided to sit down and regroup. What am I trying to achieve? What are some of the issues I still have with my hair right now?
This is what I came up with:
- Eliminate (or at least seriously reduce) dry/itchy scalp (it seems like I'm back to square one)
- Reduce breakage (getting a bit better)
- Obtain and maintain strength/moisture balance
- Reduce shedding
- Increase thickness
- Increase growth and even out hair length (SL by Summer 2010)
- Daily 1 min scalp massages
I think I'm also going to have to review my previous post to help me slow down. It's a long process, but it will help me find the right products for my hair, and really know how my hair is responding to a particular product. Right now I am throwing everything except the kitchen sink on my head and I had no idea what was or wasn't working for me. Even my tried and trusted products have been failing me.
In addition to these mini goals I want to do a few things that should help my goals along nicely and just keep me and my hair healthy overall:
- Drink more H2O (minimum 2 litres/day)
- Eat 6 small well balanced meals everyday (esp. breakfast!)
- Take a good quality multivitamin (3x/day) as well as regular Iron, Calcium and B-vitamin complex
- Get adequate sleep
- De-stress with regular exercise/fun activity (I've been doing well here)
Not sure why I've been so all over the place as of late. Actually, I know exactly what it is, but as I see the harm it is causing I am recognizing the importance of slowing things down. I'll keep you posted!
