My TWA is something serious. I think my hair would have to be darn near tailbone length just to look like a non TWA.
Darn shrinkage.

I put in a hair wrap today. Well, you know that lovely thing called shrinkage is always active when your hair is dry. Well my hair ends right before that coin. Lol I love shrinkage, but I wasn't expecting my hair to be that long. The piece begins almost an inch above my ear. The wrap isn't at the root either.

What did you use for your rod set? It's going to take me a while to remove my braids and I need a style that can last for the week. I was thinking of using my loc butter and gel. Thanks!

traceedeebee that pic is of my wash n go with ecostyler. My rod set set was pretty for all of 2 mins (I sleep rough) I used taliah wajid crinkles and curls styling lotion, it's basically a setting foam. That loc butter sounds good though like it would have more hold.

Cattypus1 We can trade! I'm one of the odd balls who love shrinkage. I wish I had more. More shrinkage= bigger hair which makes me a happy Mo. I feel like my hair looks so lifeless. The longer it gets the looser my curl pattern gets and I go from a 3b to some kind of weird wavey mess that looks like it is heat damage except for the fact I dont use heat any more.
Makes me sad because when I was younger (before the 1st relaxer) I was more of a 3c and I hated my hair (I was teased by other kids for it). By the time I learned to love my natural big hair my texture changed and its not as curly or as thick >insert sad panda face here<

All loced up...
Girl, please...I gotta real fro...this morning I co washed and didn't do one other thing because I didn't have to leave the house. I wanted to see how it felt and looked with no product...fro-city. I'm getting about 70%+ shrinkage...you can have that shrinkage! Don't we always want what we don't have...LOL

Oh, I'm jealous. I can't do a wash n go at all.
I'm adding that taliah wajid crinkles and curls styling lotion to my list. Thank you for sharing! I tried Creme of Nature, but it dried my hair out or I did something wrong. It's probably me. I hope this rod set holds ups. I used small rods so that it will last, but I'm a rough sleeper too. 
My coworker gave me the loc butter. It works really well for twist and finger coils. I'm glad she gave it to me.

I refused to put makeup on this weekend so you all will see me in bare face I need an app to scribble out my face.
I don't necessarily dislike the cut, but it's not as edgy as I wanted it to be. Excuse the dripping wet hair. I have been trying the Anthony Dickey method so my hair is drenched.

You look cute! Makeup-less face and all. It looks like the AD method is working. I'm hiding my hair right now but plan to experiment with it once the two thin spots that I have fill in more.

Great cut!!!!!!!!
I have a question when your hair was in the very short stage were your curls as popping as they are now and also when you don't do the AD method what does your curls look like?
You should try photobucket to cut out your face. But your face looks fine to me.

To your first question, not at all! It wasn't until my hair got inches that it started to clump and curl. Before then, I would have to do a lot of manipulating before my hair looked the way I wanted it to.
To your second question, my hair usually looks really dull and dry
My curls also don't clump together as uniformly. I have to apply product on soaking wet hair for products to really penetrate my hair.The only people who see me without makeup are friends and family so it's a bit awkward for me

Love it! That is the cut I want.....I am transitioning and need my top and front to grow a bit more before chopping. My goal is to be able to wear it wash and go or blow out and curl.

My hair stays frizzing. I'm so tired of my twa. I want to grow it out for braids but I also want to cut it.
What are you ladies using for a leave in and gel?
I was using the shea moisture kids detangling spray + as i am naturally hair gel, which I love. I'm trying out the kimmaytube leave in with the same gel and that mix isn't working for me.
I also need to do a dc. I remember egg treatments helping cut down on my frizz a lot.

Well you are beautiful so don't worry about yourself with no make up. We tend to be very hard on ourselves. Great cheekbones and eye shape.

Thank you! It took me months to get to this point
I have had so many set backs (Henna, hair color) but I think I'm ready to grow now

Your hair sounds like mine
For the past couple of months my hair has been looking like a frizz ball. Like I said in my previous post, I have been using the Anthony Dickey method and that has helped a lot to cut down frizz. For reference, I'm 3c/4a (emphasis on the 4a on the back and sides).This weekend I tried a new combo for my leave in: Kinky Curly Knot Today and Oyin Honey Dew. Omg this mixture was everything! I even got second day hair which is unheard of. For gel, I used Eco Styler in the picture above. Yesterday I tried Kinky Curly Curling Custard and it worked really well (I usually despise it). This leave in combo + Curl Solutions Curl Keeper has done wonders to keep my hair moisturized and frizz free.
