New Tumblr ;)

So I did start a tumblr. The link is http://natrlsunshyne.tumblr.com/ Come check me out and you can even submit posts to add and even ask questions. My blog will mainly be focused on Natural hair, but you'll definitely get more snapshots of my life and thoughts. See you there. ;)

UPDATES!!!! AND POSSIBLE MOVE???

Ok, so you guys... I think I will be switching from Blogger, even though I will keep this blog open and visit from time to time. I am so horrible at posting, because I'm more of a short, quick poster. I feel like I need to write a little essay when I post on here, and that's why I hardly post anything. So I'm going to try out tumblr, because it seems like more my style. I will put the link to my tumblr after I create it, and you guys can subscribe to me there if you like :) Oh, and it's about that time again... DEPLOYMENT... I will be going soon, not even sure where yet, but I have my hopes. I'm starting the planning/shopping process for the hair care and skin care products I think I will need. I am going to challenge myself to do protective styling, (no puffs and no ends out) for at least 3 weeks each month the entire time I'm gone. Let's see how much length I will retain :) Also, I'm looking to get the split-ender so I can keep my hair trimmed and in tip top shape, no point in retaining a bunch of split ends, they would just get cut off when I get back, yeah? This does mean that I will be applying heat to my hair at least once a month, so if ya'll know of a GREAT heat protector, please share... Thanks in advance. I've been using grapeseed oil as a heat protectant, and I don't see any heat damage (and when I straighten my hair, the flat iron is on the highest setting) but it's a slight pain to apply because I have it in a squeeze bottle and sometimes too much comes out. Maybe I'll put it in a spray/mist bottle and see if that's better... at any rate... so far that's my plan. I'm also on the hunt for a good moisture only deep conditioner... so far I've only come across DC's with protein in them. I might end up using Hello Hydration as a DC, but I think even that has protein. Also, I want to try Tropical Isle Jamaican Black Castor Oil (JBCO) products. I don't know if I've mentioned this before, but I have thin/bald spots at the top of my head that I'm hoping and praying will get thicker with the help of the JBCO. A hair stylist recommended Nioxin also, so maybe I will throw that into the mix, but it's expensive. (In case you're wondering, I believe the bald spots were caused by stress and/or traction alopecia and also, a little of my Celiac's/B12 deficiency thrown in for good measure. Bottom line, they are there and I don't want them there. I want my hair back!!!!) Ok, I'm tired of typing, LOL. I will throw up some pics because it's been FOREVER since I've posted and I just passed my 2 year Napturalverssary 21AUG11 :) Yay!!! Peace and many blessings. HHG!
