You ever met someone who has really defined curls

And you imagine their hair straightened and your like "her hair would be super long" and she goes to straighten it and it looks like the same length as when it's curled or not much longer than her hair curly. Why? I don't get it!

The more loosely coiled your hair is, the less shrinkage you have, so there won't be much of a difference between the curly length and actual length. It's either that or you're "confusing" thickness with length. Some people think super thick hair has more length than it actually does. It's an optical illusion lol

ravenhairedcharm I think it's the second one because I understand the first one perfectly and that wouldn't throw me off
