and it didn't stop the shrinkage how I thought it would. My hair isn't a complete afro like usual, but I knew for sure that it would stretch atleast half-way using the cholestrol and it didn't. I think that if I try this again, the only thing that will help eliminate the shrinkage is immediately sitting under the dryer.

What I did here was condition wash hair, part in vertical sections(I was going to do flat-twists but decided not to), apply Pantene Hydrating Curls, then I applied cholestrol to each section. My hair looked really nice completely wet, but It started to shrivel, so I pulled it back into a ponytail and slept on it. I woke up to these results.

In these pics, my hair STILL isn't completely dry, but hopefully its done shrinking. I think with a little practice I can eventually make it work how I'd like.

when my curls get longer i might try the pantene hydrating curls, it sounds nice and i think your hair looks nice.
 
Thank! I guess it does look okay compared to how it usually looks. I thought the Pantene was alright...I think I prefer Suave Humectant. I'm going to try this all again soon and sit under the dryer right after. I REALLY want this to work lol.
 
looks great! my hair is even shorter fully stretched than your shrunken hair. i wish my shrinkage was that long! lol.

LoL, well usually its stuck to my head when I let it air-dry with no products added. My shrinkage is normally a lot worse.
 
I'm loving your flat-twists in your siggy. My plans last night was to leave the conditioner in and flat-twist it. I can't seem to get the flat-twisting technique down though.:ohwell:

It took me 6 months to get them to look decent and some days I still have trouble getting my hair to cooperate.:lachen: My nappy education is based on you tube videos. They have helped me tremendously. The 2 best videos that helped me is from Family Going Natural and a video called flat twisting my twa. There are a ton of nappy video tutorials. :yep:
