Hey Sistas! So apparently, our 2017 officially started in February. Lol! We took the month of January off, but we're back.

I'Ll hand it to the first video out of the year so happy happy new year, happy 2017 to all of you, so I just wanted to kind of start off the years talking about hair gold and I'm going to do something. I'Ve done in a long time, which is a link chick. I know some lot shorter now pencil and on your shoulder, you show me, you saw me and I think it's the style plus I did trim my ends. I trim my hair and turns a little morning. Well morning because like when they start to fill it up, like my insides over up at the end of a twist like it earth my nerves, like especially, you feel like a little, not still Affairs, not bad, that's a great name. But again, I'm going to talk about my hair this year and I want you right now down below tell me what are your hair goal for 2017 or maybe have same hair goals forever. Tell me your hair goals. What do you want for your hair? Are you just rocking it? You know care you trying to get Styles, you, like short, hair, long hair. You want healthier more moisturized hair. One of my goal is to learn how to flat twist really well like what that feels like, if you think about it, go through our video catalog, how many flat twist outs - and you see me - do 0 because I'm nothing today, I don't know what like they Always look a little raggedy do some more protective spoons just like building up to. I want to do more protective styling. That'S like out of my comfort zone, I'm trying to like I'm the sister like you know. All of us were kind of good at it. You know different things like Tony would always bust out those bombs up, dudes - and you know, flats with Styles Carmen - would always have a blood chunky twist with the finger coils back in the day. She always brought short hairstyles and I was my old role of Fitz twist outs, you know and then I'd only want to really straighten my hair of Lord, so I kind of want to venture off into some of the other things once the stews pretty good at. I don't know how long it's going to take, but definitely try some new things this year and as far as the health of my hair, I am definitely growing it back out. It looks shorter right now, but I'm going to measure it and don't let the shrinkage fool you I'm giving myself two years to get to what I really want to be like. I want to twist out they just like. Hang like the shrinkage, like it's just kind of like hanging like right here, like it's sitting right here, like my shrinkage, is sitting right here. Let me get myself to 2019 to get there, but I want to measure my hair as I'm going on a journey. So in two more years, I think I can have a pretty bottom twist out, like this kind of like didn't want to see two years. You got ta be realistic with these goals, okay, but I want to see where I'm measuring right now. So what if I come in 2018, you guys can see my progress. So so let me mess up my hair, I'm going to take pieces from this little section over here I mean I'm trying to be better than 2017 young, so no heat, no rollers to get these curls and if you want to know coming down with us, okay, I'M Angela and corny so, but so I'm thinking my hair in most places is between 14 to 16 inches long depending on the spot. So my goal for 2018 for 2017, but when I mentioned my hair one year from now, I want to retain 3 inches. Something an 18 is realistic. 80 is realistic, but I know I think I can do 3. I'M saying that, like after trim and anything else, I may do to my hair this year, so we will say, like 17 to 19 inches in most of us retain okay, and this I think I can do this. I think I can do it. What about you? How about you models for 2017 learn how to flat twist really well like I not just do it, but it looks terrible um, try new styles! I want comfort, Casa, blonde Cobras, all um, more protective styling and retain about three inches all around 17 to 19 inches. Measured in 2018, let me know those things for me this year: okay, so check out our latest video from 2016 check out Tony's, don't make a makeup, look check out my how to moisturize your hair and all those great things and into the next time peace.
Comments
Latiffany Connelly: Love your energy. My goal is to keep my hair healthy and restore my edges.
Fashionarily: My goal is to just leave it alone and let it just grow out.
tinamarie2484: My goal is to finally see some length. Last year I started to leave my hair in cornrows for 2 months at a time. It's been staying healthy and getting longer with that method. So I'm going to continue it throughout this year and see how much progress I make.
Naturally U Neik: Lovin your hair I've been natural for 1 year, but transitioned for 11 months before I big chopped. My goal for this year is to restore my edges and just make sure my hair is healthy. I usually chose health over length so trimming days for me I usually trim away an inch from the bottom half and sides of my hair and continue a regular trim throughout the rest of my hair only trimming a half a inch or less. However, I do want to retain length this year. At least 3 inches. Would love to learn how to flat twist perfectly because I'm not that good at it. Now I mostly do braid-outs and updo styles with mini twists.
Camika C: Happy 2017 and Congratulations to you and your family on your new addition. Many continued blessings to you all....My 2017 hair goals would definitely be length. Medications that I take to help manage my Multiple Sclerosis makes it difficult at times to retain length. It sometimes make my hair dry and brittle which caused a lot of breakage. I would also like to learn how to master a wash n go and rod sets.
