He aint lyin' AT ALL.

When I first started growing my hair out (summer between 10th and 11th grade), it got bad for a little bit. Then I finally got braids in 11th grade (around xmas maybe?? I dunno...memory's starting to fade). I didn't cut it until my senior prom...and it was REALLY REALLY long. Almost down to my shoulders.

Ya'll wait 'til I get my uncle's scanner off of him!

It took me about 2 months...Yeah.

I got my first braids a little on the early side, but it started growin' REAL FAST after that.

I used to LOVE taking my hair down and lettin' it blow in the wind. Then I'd go wash it and blowdry it real real good....Ahh. I miss my hair!

The cool part was falling asleep sitting between a girls legs while she was braiding it.

Those were the days. I think I might grow it all back one day tho. I used to go damn near a month with the same braids, but I'd keep a du-rag on for like, almost a whole week (sometimes two weeks). Them sucka's used to ITCH like all hell, too.
