The straightened pics were actually taken before the shrunken ones I haven't stretched my hair in a while.

 

[Anew]

Sorry in advance if the pics are too huge...

These are pics of my daughter's hair, I don't have any on hand of her hair straightened/stretched out...

A little while after these pics were taken, she had a relaxer put it in. I never retouched it or anything, just let it grow out. As of last night, she's now 100% natural again, about SL stretched. She was upset but she'll be alright, lol

ETA she was 8 in these pictures. She'll be 10 this year.

My hair isn't fully shrunken in this pic; it's slightly stretched via a twistout.

Wow! These photos and all this major shrinkage! I've never seen anything like this. Can't wait 'till I can post some. Just gives me more to look forward to now that I'm au naturale! I have a lot of shrinkage too. I just BC'd though so it's nothing compared to you ladies.

OK, This is now officially my second favorite thread ever.
Next to the fabulishious Find your texture twin thread. That's still number one for me.

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.

That is just !! (Off to stalk your fotki)

[Moniquenuss]

This thread really really really makes me wanna go natural! You ladies are doing an Amazing job!

 

[AtlantaJJ]

Okay some of these pics in this thread don't qualify as shrinkage...that's all I got to say.

I should be in at least the top 5 of the Queen's of Shrinkage list.

Me no product, after an Alma heavy henna treatment.

I found out Alma helps my hair shrink even more, as if it needed help Yogurt and MillCreek Keratin protein loosens it up a good bit.

I keep my hair stretched 90% of the time, I wash in loose braids and DC in twisted up sections. I always dry stretched in braids or for straight looks in a roller set. This stops the single strand knots, and it cuts my detangle time down considerably because I essentially never let it get tangled in the first place. The only time I let it all down is on henna day (picture above) I have to do that to get all the henna out.

The thing I love about my hair is that its soft so stretches out easily and stays stretched for the most part.
