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!
