Kurly Feature: Danielle Little

Library Finds

As you all might know from my Hol Mi Close post, I recently got summer employment. This is my first official job; most, if not all of the work I've ever done has been volunteerism. Currently, I work in a library providing assistance in summer school and other duties. While passing time I found a book with a collection of Marcus Garvey's quotes, so here we go.

Marcus Garvey said
Compiled and edited by Ken Jones
In the table of contents there is a variety of topics the quotes are centered around below are the few I chose.

Black Beauty
"Beauty, virtue and goodness are the exculsive attributes of no one race. All humanity have their shortcomings, hence no statement of mine, at any time, must be interpreted as a wholesale praise of, or attack upon any race, people or creed."
Marcus Garvey

Feature: Then and Now my Cuz's journey

This is my cousin's hair and she's been on her journey for almost two years. When I first started learning about this whole hair care thing she was the one who was in total support of me going natural. 














Her regime is as followed:

• She washes her hair once every three weeks; alternating between Carol Daughters and Doo Gro products.
•  Once every two months she comes to my house for styling and a trim/dusting. 
• She moisturizes and seals almost every night for she's in the sun very often. 
• She wears mostly twists, buns and hats to protect her hair
• I use castor oil on her edges and my shea butter mix for styling and sealing in moisture

Challenge Time: No Length Checks Until September 2013

Sidenote: Being on my hair journey for over 2 years I've created a challenge for myself; and I've been doing it for over a year now. Prior to this everything revolved around my hair and I was impatiently waiting for the day I'd have long hair. Pulling at my strands to see how far they had grown, as such I challenged myself to not check my hair for xyz time. So I've decided to share and invite others to participate. My previous length check shows my length retention after my challenge. I've decided to do official length checks twice a year because I have a better illustration of the length gained and retained.

I've started this group because I know from experience the anxiety and disappointment that I went through by frequently tracking and checking my hair length. So..

I will not be implementing a lot of strict rules other than 1 LC over the period of this challenge.

The challenge will begin July 23, 2013 and ends September 17, 2013

This will be a 8 week challenge

Rules are as followed:

• Stay Hydrated
• Massage scalp to encourage blood flow
• Take vitamins
• Low Manipulation
• Maximum of 2 heat passes  
• Protective styling (optional)

Whenever you start feeling frustrated or that temptation to check:

Read a book

Call a friend

Write a blog

Cook some food :)

Find something to occupy your time so that you wont do so.

Additionally, if you're on hairlista you can join the challenge using the following link

Also I've decided to start a google page for the posting of starting pictures and after completion.
