Braid Story

It was my first time at William's, and the Chinese mamak owner said I reminded him of someone. "Anakin Skywalker," he said, with a grin. Right. Well William, I don't look like Anakin no more. The hair braid Wern expertly tied on my head, and which stayed there faithfully from mid July, is now gone. I took it down i.e. cut it a few weeks ago. As you can see from the pics, it was growing pretty long!


All in all, my hair grew about 3 inches in 3 months. (The braid started off with about a one-inch gap from the scalp.) I think the part pulled by the braid grew faster too cos of the additional weight, but that's just my theory.

At final count... 4+ inches of hair!

The most common question encountered was, "How do you wash your hair?" Haiyah, simple lah, you just wash it like normal and make sure you don't pull at the ends.

Well, it was fun and cool having a braid while it lasted. I thought I would have it on for longer but my hair obviously outgrew my ambitions. Thanks a bunch, Wern. You rock, and so does your hair braid!
