It’s truly remarkable how long these colored box braids are.
They feel like they go on for days until we finally see the purple tips.
And somehow, it took less than a day to finish them.
It started at five feet and then moved to eight feet, eight inches in 2019.
We’re so impressed by the talent Gillcrease possesses.
We cant wait to see what length these box braids will reach next year.
(We’ll put our bets on 13 feet.)
