My own worst critic?

[naturalmanenyc]

Is it because it's my own head of hair that I feel like my hair is really not that long? I always thought that APL was long and I am at APL (not full but APL).

In the photo it seems long but on my head not so much?

Am I falling into that "being my own worst critic" mindset?

Your hair always has shrinkage afte a rollerset. When i wear my hair curly I get so discouraged because it looks so short. It happens with everyone.

Thanks. I'm glad I'm not alone. I like having texture to my hair so bone straight relaxing is not an option. I need to just get over the shrinkage.

Girl you are definitely not alone. I think we all go through that. It's called hair anorexia--> when you think everyone's hair is getting longer and yours is in standstill mode.

I'm the same way. I won't claim a length until I'm fully there for sure. Then when it is I never think its long enough! I just try not to think about it, put it in a bun for a few days, and leave it alone.

Just for the record, your hair looks long to me, it's a very nice length.
