 Lately, we have gotten a lot of questions on how we grew our natural hair and I thought what better way to answer these questions but to provide a place for reference. The funny thing is I wasn't really intentionally growing our hair, was just living each day with normal braids and having fun trying cornrows and twists on Chikito's hair and on my hair. check out my hair page  https://www.patycon.com/p/natural-hair-journeybraids.html   for more.  Okay now, let's dive into it.

When I say Besty, I mean my best friend, that person that from the start I saw and thought of as a high school boy that wanted to just chat with me 😀😀, the small boy that was always in shorts and T-shirts. when I call you best friend I mean that guy that slowly charmed me with his humility and personality, when I call you best friend, I mean that friend that was there when I had friends and when I lost friends. I men that one friend that even in good times, bad times, worst times, and ugly times was there for me . that person that saw me at my good and bad moments and yet chose to stay and still does,  Before my dad passed away we were dating. To him, it was a marriage at first sight and he always said so lol! My dad's death affected me so badly, I was on the verge of giving up on school, on life. I even gave up on friendship. I pushed everyone aw...
