... Ugh shrinkage...I don't think I will ever get used to it. My almost HL hair shrinks to my shoulders. I joined the no heat challenge so will be bunning, twist outs, and wash and go ponytails for the remainder of the summer. Trying to get to full HL by year end which is where I want to maintain. I would have to be knee length stretched to have MBL or WL curls. ...
I know just how you feel; we have very similar hair - most of mine is between waist and hip, with the longest strands around tailbone - but my shrinkage is just like yours,
