4a/b/c - How long is you hair and how long is your twist out!

[PeaceFlow]

Just wondered what the difference is betweein your straightened/stretched hair length and where your twistout sits.

I want my twistouts to reach at least SL, but not sure what length I have to get to for that to happen evenly.

 

[SimJam]

I just cut my hair back to CL and now my twist outs hang a bit below my ears.

when my hair was about an inch past APL my twistouts rested right on my shoulders

 

[Tulips4u]

I'm grazing MBL and my twistouts sit at SL.

 

[Ogoma]

Hair at the bottom of my bra. Braid outs (have never done twist outs) hit just below my shoulders at my collarbone.

 

[tiajonay]

My flat twist outs sit about shoulder length, the back is a little bit longer. When my hair is straightened it's about MBL, maybe a little bit longer now.

BSB/BSL. Twist outs are shoulder length at the longest layers.

 

[ezina]

My hair is shoulder length in a twist-out and grazing BSL when fully stretched.

DD is a fine haired 4c and her twist outs hang at CBL but her hair is only APL I cant wait till it gets longer like you guys.

 

[Maracujá]

My hair is BSL and in twists/twist outs it's about shoulder length.

 

[Goombay_Summer]

My hair is WSL and my twist outs are approximately somewhere between SL and APL.

My hair is almost WL and my twistouts sit between shoulder and APL

 

[Fhrizzball]

I need to get better at stretching my hair as I’m BSL but my twistouts tend to only sit at CL/NL.

 

[RegaLady]

I cut my hair into an asymmetric bob

So the front is SL and the back is neck length.

I am not sure what length I am straightened, maybe SL/CBL

 

[PeaceFlow]

Thanks ladies, this helped a lot.

I'm between apl and bsl (it's been a while since I've done a proper length check). My twist outs are between nl and sl. My hair shrinks throughout the day, especially if it's humid.

[SavannahNatural]

I'm beyond BSL and my day 1 twistouts are shoulder length.

Does fine hair get better 'hang time', I wonder?

 

[HairPleezeGrow]

My youngest is a 4 something (B I think) and her hair is past APL and reaches SL with twistouts.

Not for my DD I have to really coax it to get it to lay down at all cause it has NO weight to it. It grows straight up and in order to get it to hang at all I have to blow dry it and use styling wax before a twist or braid out. Here's a pic of it in an unstyled puff I think she could be floor length and still not have hang...

 

[LdyKamz]

The pictures of the babies in here with gorgeous hair...goodness!! Good job moms!

 

[vmerie]

My hair is WHip length. If I was doing a regular twistout without stretching my hair first it would be a little past SL. If I stretched it before twisting, it can reach APL.

I don't think so. lol Fine hair here with probably 50% shrinkage.

My hair is almost bra strap length, but my TO hangs almost on my shoulders.

She is gorgeous!

And she is my ultra fine cottony texture 4c hair twin. Lol. I use plain old grease or a super thick shea and cocoa pomade to weigh it down.

As for the OP I am almost sl and TOs are EL to NL

 

[miss stress]

Thanks a lot! I'll try the Shea and Coco mixture tomorrow on her wash day and see what happens!

i agree with everything you said but im in control of how my hair hangs because I'm relaxed and i use rollers at the ends but i don't like it hanging too low because it doesn't last

 

[constance]

Fine haired 4a with tbl hair that is bsl-mbl in a braid/twist out if I band. If I omit the banding, it'll hang around apl.
