I remember being in the 3rd grade, and my older brother was in the 7th grade. He was older then me, so *of course* he knew everything. While at school oneday, I saw a girl in my class and her hair was long, eventho it was extremely short the day before! I just couldnt figure out how she got her hair long so fast. I asked my brother about it, and he told me that their mom stretched their hair. I believed that for a long time too!
I eventually learned about weave, lol. :]
