I loved my grandma looking like this, with the big black shoes. Only she would braid her hair and put it across the top of her head. View attachment 4224112

Mine looked like that too. Braids across the head was a style then, as I understand it.

When my hair was long I tried wearing my hair like that but it wouldn't. My braids were over an inch thick and at least 2' long.

Lucky you! Your hair must have been beautiful.

It was. Or at least I liked it, I should say. I quite miss it but was unable to care for it for a time ... I'm letting it grow again though. That's what it's best at, lol.

I remember seeing pictures. (not sure on which thread)
How long did it take to get that long??

Hard to say how long it took. I began wearing it long at 16 and over the years I learned ways of protecting it to allow it to grow longer and longer. There are points where it breaks so you have to protect it. From shoulder length to waist probably took the longest but from waist to hip to knee ... maybe about 8 years.
