Mini Hair Goals (Quick Review)

It's been a while since I've reviewed my hair goals, which I think I will begin to do after each relaxer to help me stay focused. Over the last 4 months or so I've been trying to do too much, which has left me overwhelmed, tired, frustrated and resulted in some horrible setbacks. 

Despite the few set backs I have had, I have manage to maintain some length, which is nothing to be too sad about. I think I could have accomplished more in certain areas (e.g. the sides of my head), so maybe if I remain focused on the prize I will do better this relaxer cycle.

Here is where I am with things:
  1. Eliminate (or at least seriously reduce) dry/itchy scalp (doing much better since May)
  2. Reduce breakage 
  3. Obtain and maintain strength/moisture balance (definitely getting better)
  4. Reduce shedding 
  5. Increase thickness 
  6. Increase growth and even out hair length (SL by Summer 2010) 
  7.  Low manipulation style 95% of the time
  8. Daily 1 min scalp massages (need to be consistent)
Here is my status on my overall health goals:
  1. Drink more H2O (minimum 2 litres/day)
  2. Eat 6 small well balanced meals everyday (esp. breakfast!)
  3. Take a good quality multivitamin (3x/day) as well as regular Iron, Calcium and B-vitamin complex (getting better)
  4. Get adequate sleep
  5. De-stress with regular exercise/fun activity (I've been doing well here)
So it appears I've been sleeping on my overall health mini goals, so I will need to put more effort there, but as for my hair it seems like I am doing my thing. Let's see if I can keep it going.
