4b Natural Hair Hangs and Swings....If You Brush it?

[JustKiya]

Okay - I actually found some henna *does happy dance* so I was playing with my hair while I'm waiting for the color to release, and I decided to try this. My hair is fresh out of twists, I coated it with castor oil, then brushed well with my Denman. It was actually easier to brush than I thought it would be - esp. since I can see my ends (where the tangles usually are).

That's about the 'hangiest/swingiest' it got. I could see this working if I was longer - APL, maybe. I don't see it lasting long, though, unless I used a powerful anti-humectant - it would puff up in a heartbeat.

I remember my hair did puff but not to the degree that shrinkage can make my hair shrink.

Imagine doing this with WL natural hair!!!

My hair shrinks to my ears and dont hang nowhere and I cant get no brush through it ohwell:

See, this is going to send me back to relaxers. Shrinkage. If my brush can't tame it....I know sodium-something-or-another-ide will.

I appreciate all the thought you ladies have put into this, humoring my randomness.

You are all too kind to this silly little lamb.

I totally can!! I don't want to think of the work involved, but the result would most likely look like that lady in the 'How do you get Natural Hair to grow this long?' thread. Now I understand how she got her hair like that.

But that's what it is! I love your randomness! lol!

Sigh, I have got to learn to navigate this site more efficiently, I keep responding to super-old threads...oh well

I hate shrinkage. I brush my hair with the famed jojoba brush and some moisturizing leave-in, and I love it. I'm glad I kept my receipt cuz I'm taking that denman brush back to sally's where I found it. I have thick hair so it still gets big, and I'm not sure how much it swings, but it definitly bounces. I love going up and down the stairs at work so I can let others admire my bouncy curls lol!...sorry ladies, I'm still kind of a newby excited about being natural.
