2025 Hair Goals: How to Create a Hair Vision Board for Your Curls

If you’ve been dreaming about achieving your curly hair goals, 2025 is the year! Creating a hair vision board is the perfect way to bring those dreams to life. Think of it as your personal roadmap to success—a tool to visualize your desired results, stay inspired, and stay on track with your curl journey. Whether you’re aiming for healthier curls, experimenting with new styles, or growing your hair to a specific length, this is your chance to dream big and take actionable steps toward those goals.

1. Define Your Curl Goals

Start by asking yourself what you truly want to achieve with your curls. Your goals should feel personal and meaningful, setting the foundation for your vision board. Some common curl goals might include:

• Growing longer, healthier hair
• Achieving consistent curl definition
• Reducing frizz and dryness
• Transitioning to natural hair
• Exploring protective styles
• Experimenting with innovative products or styling techniques

Pro Tip: Write these goals down. Keeping them visible helps you stay committed and reminds you that every small step gets you closer to your dream curls.

Personal Note: My personal hair goals for 2025 include growing longer hair, growing out my bangs, and reshaping my curls to better reflect my vision. Sharing these goals makes me feel more connected and motivated—and I hope it inspires you to embrace your own unique hair journey. Check out my curly vision board below!

2. Gather Inspiration

Collect images, quotes, and ideas that inspire you and align with your goals. This can include:

• Pictures of curly hairstyles that make you feel confident and empowered
• Inspiring affirmations about self-love and embracing natural beauty
• Products you’re excited to try or ingredients that intrigue you (hello, aloe vera and shea butter!)
• Photos that represent milestones, like hair growth or healthy shine

You can gather these items from:

• Magazines
• Pinterest boards
• Instagram accounts of curl influencers
• Your favourite curly hair brand’s social media (we’re here for you!)

Pro Tip: This is your vision board, so let it reflect your unique personality and aspirations. Don’t be afraid to get creative!

3. Choose a Format

Your vision board can be physical or digital—whatever feels most accessible and inspiring to you. Here are some ideas:

• Physical Board: Use a corkboard or poster board to pin or glue your images and quotes. You can even include textures like satin fabric to represent a protective sleep routine.
• Digital Board: Create one on platforms like Pinterest or Canva. Digital boards are great for updating over time and sharing with your curly-haired community.

Pro Tip: If you go digital, set your board as your phone or computer wallpaper to keep your goals front and center.

4. Organize Your Board

Arrange your visuals in a way that tells your curl story. Here are some categories to consider:

• Healthy Hair Goals: Highlight products and treatments that nourish and repair curls.
• Styling Goals: Add photos of braid-outs, wash-and-go styles, or bold looks you want to try.
• Growth Goals: Include images of your dream hair length or thickness.

Pro Tip: Leave room for updates and new inspirations—your journey will evolve, and so should your vision board.

5. Add Affirmations and Motivational Quotes

Positive affirmations are like little cheerleaders on your vision board. They remind you to stay patient and kind to yourself during your curl journey. Here are some to consider:

• “My curls are thriving.”
• “Healthy hair starts with healthy habits.”
• “Every day, I’m closer to my curl goals.”
• “Growth takes time, but progress is worth it.”

Pro Tip: Write these affirmations in your own handwriting or use your favorite fonts to make them feel personal.

6. Incorporate Your Favourite Products

Visualize the tools and products that will help you achieve your goals. Include:

• Photos of trusted products like the DES Hydrate & Restore Leave-In Conditioner
• Styling tools like diffusers and wide-tooth combs
• DIY treatments or ingredients that have worked wonders for your curls

Pro Tip: If you’re on a budget, add visuals of affordable options or DIY recipes to remind yourself that beautiful curls don’t have to break the bank.

7. Set a Timeline

Adding a timeline to your vision board can help you stay accountable and track your progress. Examples include:

• “Achieve defined curls by [specific date].”
• “Try a new protective style every month.”
• “Reach waist-length curls by [specific year].”

Pro Tip: Break your goals into smaller milestones so you can celebrate your wins along the way.

8. Display Your Vision Board

Place your vision board somewhere you’ll see it daily, like your bathroom mirror or bedroom wall. If it’s digital, keep it accessible on your phone or laptop.

Pro Tip: Make reviewing your board part of your self-care routine. It’s a great way to reconnect with your goals and stay motivated.

9. Track Your Progress

Revisit your vision board regularly and reflect on how far you’ve come. Celebrate your achievements—even the small ones—and don’t hesitate to update your board as your goals evolve.

Pro Tip: Keep a photo diary of your curls to visually track your journey. You’ll be amazed at your progress!
