I’m short too, but I got about 3 inches on you. Girl you better get a folding stool. That’s what I use when I have to have an extended bathroom break. My toilet is too tall for me
your hair type looks very loose to me btw. Are you type 4? I assumed you were since you post in the type 4b/4c thread sometimes.
@ItsMeLilLucky I use the generic Rite Aid brand supplements.
@I Am So Blessed lol! Two or three more months and you'll def be there. And then by 2019 you'll be TBL
You're making me want to take a texture shots now lol and you are making me LOL with joy.@ItsMeLilLucky I use the generic Rite Aid brand supplements.

Thank you!I’m short too, but I got about 3 inches on you. Girl you better get a folding stool. That’s what I use when I have to have an extended bathroom break. My toilet is too tall for me
But that hair looks luscious
Now that's tough not reaching the seat.
Wow They must be really tight. If so I would take them out at least near the edges.I’m ready to take these muthafornicating braids down. S#!+
They aren’t single braids. It’s something like this style
I can reach the seat, it’s just my feet don’t touch the ground all the wayThank you!
I think I will invest in a little ladder, cuz I need it...sometimes!
(However I still want it. It's your fault 
)
See...the thing is my hair does shrink. It literally shrinks to shoulder length. If I take it out of my style it kinda flops/hangs down, but if I sit with it OUT for 10 minutes it turns into a SL soft cotton ball. But like you mentiined, I have seen other naturals have more shrinkage then me definitely. I think it has to do with all the moisture and grease is why my hair hangs temporarily.@I Am So Blessed Wow! What a unique hair type. You are apart of that fold of type 4 women who (for what our hair texture does) have a lot less shrinkage. Sometimes I will occasionally see naturals on Youtube with hair that hangs a lot like that even though their texture is clearly type 4b+. You are lucky to have such hair. It's amazing. For example, at your length I would probably have an ear length (while wet) afro. But you are apl! No wonder you was in here the other day talking about a hip length wash n go! And why was my 80% shrinkage self behind you talking about yeah we gone get there??
@ItsMeLilLucky don't ever risk your edges for a style. Tell the braider to do it looser as soon as you feel one of the braids is tight. If they can't do it loosely enough, I'd decline the service politely and leave. I would take it out if I were you.
Oh! They are nice! Now I see what you mean....you are traped haha. Or you would have to take the whole style loose...oh gosh.
I’m definitely about to take it down. I can’t bend my head normally and I gotta go to work.
Thank you! Somebody told me that it looks like a hat LOL.
LOL I know right?!!
Ugh, I hate getting older. I've been natural since '07 and prior to that I had no problems growing my hair. When I went natural my hair still grew and was nice and thick.
I went through 'medical menopause' in 2013 and since then my hair wasn't the same. It broke off to barely shoulder length, got thinner. Grew a little bit to collarbone, then broke off again.
It's nowhere as thick as it used to be, when I wear it in a bun I usually add some braiding hair to fill it out. I've tried everything but its not helping. I thought of wearing wigs but I'm self conscious. I do know how to tweeze the parts, etc, but it's a headache making sure it looks perfect when you're rushing out to work.
I wish I had the face to cut it short but it makes me look even older. sigh.....
I feel your pain! My Mother is the same way. After menopause it thinned.

DANG...All of y'alls Birthday today!
