This question is mostly for naturals, I suppose. I want a little clarification b/c I think I may be the oddball here. erplexed Since shrinkage is a universal theme amongst us natural ladies, what do you consider to be your true length? Is it when your hair is stretched/straightened or the length it is in it's natural (curly/kinky/nappy/ insert adjective) state? I see on a lot of hair boards where ladies say they are X length but it is the length they are when their hair has been straightened.
In my case I would state my length in it's naturally curly state- and of course it can be quite discouraging when your natural length is much shorter than your stretched length. Which is probably why I'm loathe to straighten my own hair (that and laziness and some fear). ButI was just wondering, what do you consider to be your length? And how does it affect your goals?
