Some naturals have as much as 80% shrinkage, making our hair length appear strikingly deceiving to others. If you think about it, having some mystery to our length is kind of cool so why not embrace it? The truth is shrinkage is actually a good sign that your hair is healthy.
Here are 15 inspiring photos of naturals

#2 Curls that at first glance are only a little below the ears are way past shoulder length.
#3 Shoulder length curls reach bra strap length when blown out.
#4 My oh my, is natural hair deceiving.
#5 It’s so deceiving, it’s crazy!
#6 It’s pretty unbelievable! I am sure she gets asked all the time if she cut her hair or if she is wearing extensions.
#7 Fresh out the shower.
#8 And this is why, sometimes we just want to reach for that blow dryer.
#9 It looks like her hair is about neck length…wrong!

#11 I am totally mesmerized. Are you?
#12 Length checks will amaze you.
#13 Curly girl problems.

September 2, 2017 at 11:29 amI’ve been natural since March 2015. My hair has grown some. I haven’t had a cut since then. I do have major shrinkage after washing and dryness. It’s like my hair soaks in all the moisture. I want to get a tapered cut any suggestions
