My Mid Back Length Hair Never Falls Below My Shoulders In A Twist Out
My Mid Back Length Hair Never Falls Below My Shoulders In A Twist Out

My Biggest Natural Hair Problem…

I have been natural since 2006 and I have hair that is way beyond my shoulders. But you would never know it. I’m starting to think I have a shrinkage length of neck length or NL. But in reality my hair is really mid back length (MBL) when blown out or stretched. (Natural Hair Length Chart)

If your hair never grows pass your shoulders you may be in a growth plateau and here are 5 Ways to Get Pass Your Growth Plateau.

When I post pics of my twist out on Instagram someone always ask “did you cut your hair?”

NO!!! That’s muthersucking shrinkage…

I’m not one to obsess about length but sometimes I would like to see the full length of my hair. Well not the full length but I would like for my growth to be evident. You know what I mean?

I put so much time into caring for my body, hair, and skin. I have a rock solid regimen. I retain length and protective style. I KNOW My Hair IS GROWING. I want to see the fruits of my labor. But… Oh shrinkage…

5 Things You Can Do To Decrease Shrinkage

For years I didn’t even know my hair was long enough to put in a low bun or puff. It always looks shoulder length wet and more like neck length when dry.

I’m not going to be blowing my hair out every week just to prove to myself that its growing. But dang.

Can I see some length in my twist out or wash & go?

Ok, I’m not going rant too much longer about this. But dang can I see my growth! I digress *sigh*

    Ive seen some set where hair is set in the twist or braid out, and then the twist/braid is elongated with pins during the setting process. Once you undo the twist/braid, it should have some elongation past the point it would be without the additional step. I’ve never done this bc I like my shrinkage but it makes sense.
