Shrinkage

[Laela]

I posed this question in another thread. If there was one on this, I'd like to read it. But how do we determine the percentage of shrinkage on natural hair?

Shrinkage % = [1-(shrunken length/strethed length)] * 100

ie: shrunken length = 3.2 inches
stretched length = 4 inches
shrinkage % = [1 - (3.2/4)]*100
= [1 - (.8)]*100
= [.2]*100
=20%
