Okay. I really think my shrinkage is the reason I want to straighten my hair. I'm tired of "looking like" I have short hair. Shrinkage is REALLY starting to piss me off. My hair is past my shoulders in the back, at my shoulders on the side, and past my chin in the front. But my hair shrinks about 50% in twists, and probably 80% in a WNG. That's so annoying.
How does shrinkage work anyway?? Is it the tigher your curls, the more shrinkage?? I have REALLY tight coils in some sections, not so tight coils in other sections, and then I have really small perfect spirals in other sections.
Then I see other ladies who consider themselves type 4a whose hair shows A LOT more length than mines, and I get annoyed again!! If I straightened my hair, I could wear it in a ponytail with no problem. But, in it's natural state, the top of my hair ain't having it, and I have to use tons of bobby pins.
I just don't know what to do..or if there's anything I CAN do!!!
