How much whould you say my hair shrinks?/ my hair growth pics!!!!

[Rapunzel*]

this was last month[july]

this is augusto hair growth

 

[LadyKaypnyc]

I love your texture! Your hair is really growing...go girl



My hair shinks A LOT!!! The front of my hair is nearly SL, unstretched, it barely grazes my eyebrows, the rest is APl, but unstretched it's Neck length

Luckily I have learned ways to thwart it...well, somewhat

 

[Kay.Dee]

I'd say I have 75% shrinkage. I wear my hair stretched all the time.

it's growing so fast, congratulations!


I'm about to put my hair in micro braids because I think I've retained about a 1/2 inch since BC'ing and that is not good. Getting to many tangles/knots. I keep seeing pictures of other naturals who BCed within the last few months and my growth is not up to par . I know

Please ... do tell how you thwart it. I have a feeling I'm going to have the same problem once I BC.

Directly after I cowash, I band my hair with Scrunci No Slip headbands (I just wrap it around the length of my hair after I moisturize and seal)

Or, I twist my hair, then I use bobby pins to pull the twists back and pin them to one another (I stretch the twists in the front to the back, then pin them to one at my nape). Let it dry, then unravel and style.

Other times, I apply Komaza Care's Coconut Hair pudding to wet hair (soaking wet hair), then I wrap it, and sit under my dryer for about 60-70 minutes til dry. That really helps w/ shrinkage, but it's time consuming, so I don't do it too often.

HTH

To the OP,

Great Growth, Your hair texture is very pretty. I think you have about 50% shrinkage. Just keep doing what you are doing. It is working.

 

[Riverwalk]

It looks like your shrinkage is about 50%.

Pokahontas,

Your hair is beautiful as ever. I remember you from hairboutique. You always provided great tips and had gorgeous hair.

 

[MrsQueeny]

i love your hair que

Thank you. No I just think my hair is just tightly coiled. There is really not that big of a difference from when I was bsl until now unstretched. It's weird I tell you. I guess that is why when I finally get it straightened, people assume it is a weave because the shrinkage is so deceiving. Q

 

[Neith]

How much did it actually grow? It's tricky to see in stretched pics since it's held differently in each one.

Either way, I think that is great growth! Good job!

I'd say you have 25% Your hair looks 25% of it's real length. That's around what my natural hair does too!

i see, it is georgeous,

i think another reason is that they want it to be fake

are you going to let your daughters(3) hair get waist length or mbl?

Too funny.
Actually they are all mbl or really close to waistlength already. I have some pics in my fotki. They too have a lot of shrinkage too and I never get their hair completely straight when I flat iron it. My oldest is the only one that is really into having long hair like I am. My middle daughter loves natural styles and is wearing a braid out this week. My youngest hates getting her hair done, period. We will see how they feel as they get older. Q
