Something in part of my life for 20 years now

[LizAllison]

Something in part of my life now for 20 years, my braids and they have brought me confidence to this day. I still love them and never getting rid of them. I remember a friend of mine wanting to have them done and told her I would do it with her. She thought that was cool and did it. She was brought in first and then it was me to have them done. I picked out some brunette and red strands to go in with my hair and she picked out the light brown and blue strands. I still remember looking in the mirror seeing the results loving them. Said they are part of my life now staying forever. This friend of mine said the same thing about hers too. She loved my results and thought they were cool making a pact with her never to get rid of them.

That's a great accomplishment—holding onto those braids for 20 years and letting them anchor your confidence says a lot about knowing what works for you. The memory with your friend sounds like a solid bond, turning a simple style choice into a lifelong pact. What made you pick those brunette and red strands specifically? They must pop nicely with your hair. Keep owning it.
