I think I've got some pretty good shrinkage going on if I don't say so myself

Normally...
This is my hair blown out.
This is my hair blown out.
Here I am!!!
Let's see what I got here....
This is from December 2008 (I don't usually pull the hair to stretch it, but I couldn't resist this time...) - This same picture (if my hair was dry), would be much cooler!
I also have these two:
Dry/Shrunken:
And straightened (but curled):
I like this thread - my favorites are those that have lots and lots of pics for me to drool over!
Again, as I mentioned on another thread, this type of hair is a dream come true! SOOO much shrinkage! It's like our hair is like those old toys--the Transformers..."more-than-meets-the-eye" LOL! Not sure if young folk remember that...but you 27+ folk might...
Anyhoo, I think that it is sooo cool that these pics show hair is beyond APL staight, yet it shrinks to just under the ear!...I want to get my hair long, but wear it in twisted wet sets most of the time. I figure I can capitalize on and embrace my shrinkage rather than resist it. I have a tinie weenie TWA now. But I HOPE to have like MAXIMUM shrinkage when it grows out...It might be annoying to some people, but personally, I don't want my ends touching my shirts and drying out when I wear my twist outs. So shrinkage to above shoulder length (from as long as possible straightened length) would suit me JUST FINE...Do wet twists eventually lengthen the hair? I noticed that the pic with the twists shows more length...
Peace.

First off, I had a typo in that sentence. I was referring to some of the photos were just pretty curly hair, not real shrinkage. That's all. It was just a drive by post, no harm meant.

Comparison shots of shrinkage my first two years
These were I think very early last year?
This was sometime around the end of last year.
I turned this
Into this about a week ago.
I honestly don't know how long it is because I have not looked at it straigthen. But I won't be doing another measurement until the summer months. But rest assured the shrinkage is a DOOZY!!!!
I can add this little adventure from a few weeks ago.
Here it is the Thursday night I think
And here it is that Saturday after 5 hours of pressing and still not being able to show 4 additional inches of hair because it kept shrinking while I was flat ironing.
Dang you're making me wish I didnt cut my hair in December

I don't have any new pics, but the this pic shows shrinkage from a few years ago. If I let my hair shrink up now, it'd still look almost the same.
This pic is my hair stretched in July 2008.
Amateurs!

But I bow to Queen Mwedzi!
Why or why did I cut my hair?!?
