Dream of braids

I am gifted straight hairs. I am very proud of my hairs. When I was 5 years, I thought of having braids to my gifted straight hairs. But my mom was a working single mom and had no time to make braids for me. Since they will scold in schools whenever my hairs turned long  I was made to have a bob cut. In spite of having straight hairs I never got the chance to have braids. I used to look at the other children who used to come to school with braids. They said their mom's used to put coconut oil to their hairs daily, weekly once castor oil bath with shikakai and maintain the hairs in order to have nice braids .This was all natural.

As I turned little older around 13-14 years I was so attracted to the braids that I learnt to braid the hairs by myself and my new avatar to the school was this :

The ends of the braids used to be dead and falling always. I used to ask my friends for suggestions. I shifted from shikakai to shampoo.For a few days did not notice any change. I regularly used conditioners and then it was kind of getting better. Finally in a year I had braid hair with perfect ends. I was very happy and my dream to have beautiful braid hairs became true. I love you  my braids, please please please be with me always was my mantra. Even today I have braided hairs that my daughter is proud about. Today when she asks me to braid her hairs, i remember my good old days. World has changed a lot but till today the craze to have perfect braid hair haven't changed.
