3rd Big Chop on 7/18/2016
I noticed when I first big chopped, I had only 3 to 4 inches of hair (unstretched only about 1 to 2 inches). It produced an 'S' shape naturally without product, but due to heavy shrinkage when it dried, it was more of a 'O' shape. Now that my hair is SL/APL fully stretched, and about 5 inches fully shrunken, I have a tight 'S' shape when fully dry without product and a looser 'S' when wet/damp. I have less 'O' shape stands when my hair is fully dried without any product. I think this is due to as my gets longer the natural weight and length is pulling or "stretching" my hair down causing a natural 'S' pattern. When I do wash and gos it's even more noticeable. I think if I was "heat trained/heat damage" my shrinkage would be much less and cause more of my strands to "hang" and be looser which I have no current desire to do.
Does anyone who started off with less than 4 inches of hair, now notice this as their natural hair journey continues?
