Shrinkage

So black hair comes in a bunch of different types but small springy coils are a crowning feature of our hair type.
When explaining blk hair to people I often liken it to a slinky. It coils upon itself very, very tightly. But when u stretch it out it can be amazingly long.
This can be confusing to some who think our hair doesn’t seem to grow. Meanwhile there can be inches and inches of hair tucked away in the tight coil of the strands.

Here’s some cool pics of blk shrinkage.

I’ve seen some people be adamant about blk hair length not realizing just how much length is hidden by shrinkage.

I was just coming to talk about shrinkage...hate it.
I add purified h2o/creamy moisturizer/EVCO, twist, & airdry. Instead of ringlets, I get big waves.

Thanks sis. I've been wanting to try the apple cider vinegar on my hair (4a-4b) for a while. What brand of ACV you use or recommend?

Make sure to always deep condition, I just started doing that and it’s been blessing up my hair

Hydrate and moisture are key. I rock a coily afro and I use a leave in conditioner every day. I only shampoo maybe twice a month. Shampooing black hair frequent strips minerals and healthy oils that your scalp produces.

I’m stuck doing my daughter’s hair instead of her regular stylist and I swear by this - the remedy.
