The power of shrinkage

[googooberries]

yes i agree i too need a break too much of this not enough of that but i never thought about a weave i was gonna get braids but i think ill do a weave now thnx 4 the idea!

[gmcmim1]

Isn't it interesting how many views that the natural haired women be having? I am always amazed by it.

[LadyOfMyth]

>.> shrinkage is amazing...

People still look at me and say "is your hair still growing?"

and while making this face " -_- " I pull at a curl and tug it down and they go... "oh, wouldn't it be nice if it was that long all the time?"

SMH...

[GoldieCurvesBrowning]

@LadyOfMyth LOL i know right -___________-

[LAMBYAH]

[Tu51ndBl4d3]

how long did it take for your hair to get that long

[sabrinasnowden]

WOW ♥♥♥your hair beautiful

[HappyHookerTV]

Beautiful hair! Love it! I want to go with an afro one day. How can I do that on 4b hair and make it look nice???

[lilahberg]

Yeah...I'm the "token black girl" in my work place AND I'm natural. The first question I got when I straightened my hair was: Did you get extensions? I agree with you...shrinkage is powerful LOL

[Silkyslim48]

Love it!!! On seeing this video I really enjoy my shrinkage. I put a henna in my hair an 2nd time and I notice that it loosen my curl pattern. Now people are saying : You letting your hair grow...wow my hair has been growing all along but the shrinkage would not show the real length. Lov it take care.

[CurlyProf]

I hear you on needing a break. Your hair is beautiful though. If you want to see some shrinkage, check out my hair. It totally balls up and won't stretch or hang for anything!

[AudiTTPrincess]

My hair shrinks so much too, because its SO THICK and has too much volume T.T

i've looked everywhere and cannot find something to do with it besides the option of flat ironing -.-

[EmpressElizabeth1920]

@blackprincesslord what's APL and BSL?

[kristineurie44]

@EmpressElizabeth1920 APL - Arm Pit Length

BSL- Bra Strap Length

[MsNikkie26]

love it! big hair rocks!..:0)

[Floetry30]

leela james like hair lucky

[Onegurrrlrev]

@blackprincesslord yes, i think what is holding me back is wearing braid extensions. i have been able to maintain but i don't co wash as often as i would with my hair out. i also used to blow dry once a week. i am not used to leaving my hair in its shrunken state. I've learned i should braid my hair overnight after washing to stretch it out. However, braids are easy in hot climates and school. Everything I use is ph balanced. aubrey organics conditioner, giovanni shampoo,carol's daughter

[DisabledVet2006]

I love your hair just like that....all natural, long and puffy...wish more AA women would go natural like this

[uhuhforreal]

Damn!

[justshanna]

Your hair is sooo beautiful! I made a decision this week to week. I have 3c 4a hair type. Really hoping for the best!

[Kaye02ful]

OMG!

[AsianNinja007]

my hair looks like that when its dried

[mishsamuels]

I know this is an old video, but what do you use to protect the hair before blowing it out, and how do you moisturize it when blown out?

[zheahra]

Chile, all of the beautiful hair. Hey, some wish they could have the best of both worlds.

[cbreeze123]

I love fooling people with the shrinkage!

[Onegurrrlrev]

when my hair looks like that in its blow dried state, I am flaunting it all the time. That looks like it would be BSL stretched. I am APL stretched so i guess in 3 years time i will be BSL.

[kahmiyah234567]

I love your hair!!!!!

[anbuladies]

wut do u use to have it that long

[anbuladies]

i love ur hair. its like a lions main lol thats a complement n my book lol its mighty

[happynappy93]

[noobtubeinvader]

wow! ur hair is so beautiful ^^ .....while my Afro looks like Cleo Patra's >_<

[kiarules33]

omg i have like the exact same hair

[universalxhero]

i never have done any protective styles, and i dont wrap my hair at night...i have 3c curls, and some other tight corkscrew curls...what is a good protective style i can do? You know, for a beginner...my hair is a few inches below my ear.

[mirac3glow]

how long did it take for your hair to reach its maximum length after doing the big chop?

[brownskinbelle]

girl i know you do need a break from all that! i bet you have a time with that and it probably cost you an arm and a leg to get it done in the salon but it sure is BEAUTIFUL though

[Blauhstatuschick]

I just found out about your videos! Your hair is mad Beautiful qurl I luv it! Im qoinq too try out yyur tips & all.

[linket88]

i've got a tip for ya!!!!

k, so you have beautiful long hair. When natural hair gets that length you NEED to wear a protective hairstyle! Twists, for example. Don't touch it for two weeks!!!

[33Kellymc]

I love it!!!! I love big hair! Go girl! : )

[antranetta1]

Hey I have a question is a person who consider them self natural still natural after they dye thier hair or rinse thier hair being that those are chemicals..

[tybisha]

my hair is EXACTLY lik hers!!!

[Blakelolwut]

Your hair is fucking beautiful.

[MissKloeable]

woah.

[ImCrazySweet]

wow! your hair is so long and thick. Love it!

[sweetp100]

How long did it take to grow your hair?

[hotnov]

=O I'm speechless

[PrettyCrappyUsername]

how long ahve u been going natural?

[BajanRoots]

LOL! that's funny...i bet it would look gorgeous if u put a flat iron to it though, it has great volume

[Applebaum]

@BajanRoots I think it looks wicked just how it is.

almost every single BW in the western world goes for tht beyonce straight hair european look ...yawn so boring

Black women put the flat iron (weaves & relaxers) down just for a change in my opinion

u dont see most White women all walking round with afro weaves& afro perms now do ya. eurocentric ideals of beauty are killing our hair

I love the title of the vid 'The power of shrinkage'

[23mariho]

hahahahha blackberry message lol ..ur hair is nice. mine too :P:D

[Rougie488]

[prissy232]

thanks for showing this, because sometimes people look at my hair after it air dries, n theyll be like did you cut your hair...umm no. it just coils so much it look like i got a cut.

[2ozman]

shrinkage is crazy my hair is the same way!

[bradleasays]

i LOVE IT. girl you would look so cute with afro puffs :D

[harlem519]

wow we hav a lot in common i dont wash mii hair a lot eitha an min alwayz shirink but wen i wash it it jus get longa (ps neva gotta perm neva will)

[mutabrev]

How would she get the spudge out of that mop?

[Hotlips4000isback]

Girl, youre hair is gorgeous! ;)

My hair is naturel and i have never permed it in my 30 years on this planet.

It's past my shoulders, but of course when it';s washed, it shrinks.but within 24 hrs it's back to my normal lengh without straightening irons. They damage youre hair in the long run. i just grease the scalp and plait it, the next day it';s ready to comb out, and it's very crinkly. ;)

[CherokeeMoor]

omg love your hair! :)

[MissLadyBizz]

I am so glad you did this video.

When you have extremely thick hair you have a tremendous amount of shrinkage.

My hair was super long ~my father cut off over 9 inches.

It has grown back and some *U* has not even been a year.

People have been posting b.s. about hair and my voice.

I can joke around and get all my hair chopped off at the same time.

Seems like people just don't know what to say out they MOUTH.

Your hair looks good.

[mpoet21]

i feel u in the getting a weave not doin enough and doin to much

[YayFlannigan]

HEY that hair is hotstuf!!! leave it out.... please : D

[robinson62]

Girl, I totally understand. lol

[emergencyexit16]

dwezz, how can you be mixed with brazilian? Brazilians can be any race...that's like being mixed with American...It doesn't make sense.

[jmozeke]

@dwezz76 WTF America is not a country??!?!? What is it then? I don't know where you went to school or even if you have ever gone but you need to grab a globe quick!!!!

[jmozeke]

You need to go back to class. There are 7 continents: North America, South America, Asia, Europe, Africa, Antarctica, and Australia. North America is made up of 3 main (big) countries: United States, Canada, and Mexico. There are also numerous smaller countries and territories that are all apart of North America such as Haiti, Jamaica, and Dominican Republic. Again, you need to grab a globe or at the very least look it up on the internet since you obviously have access.

[jmozeke]

I see what you are saying you are using technical where as I am using slag term. United States of America. Most Amerians use America for United States and use North American when refering to the continent including Canada and Mexico. We don't say United States of North America. Relax, no one is attacking you. If you can't handle a debate then don't post comments. P.S. I never called you stupid which lets me know you have issues and you are not mature enough to handle a conversation like this.

[jmozeke]

You do need to grab a globe and your comments do make you seem extremely uneducated. Mixed with Brazilian?? Like emergencyexit16 above, it's just like saying mixed with American. Again, if you can't handle it stop commenting. You seem to have issues because you are still using victim phrases like "attacking me". No one is attacking you. You are being challenged on your comments. It comes with the territory. Simple as that. Stop taking things so personal. Its not that serious.

[ismael19993]

just stop argin on th pretty ladies page..ur makin her vid look bad..u hav really nice hair and ur beautiful ;-)

[rayraybaby136]

ohh sweetie I feel so sorry for you--America is a country! please don't say stuff like that in public so you won't be embarrased.

[dwezz76]

i say it all the time and dont get embarrassed so im ok im just tired of these lil keyboard warriors on here tryin to tell what im am and what im not

[dwezz76]

and i go to university of south florida

[emergencyexit16]

dwezz, because you said " are you mixed wit brazilian like me CUZ U LOOK LIKE IT"...how can you look Brazilian? She could be super dark-skinned with the kinkiest hair and still be Brazilian or blond hair and blue eyed. But you said she looks Brazilian which doesn't make sense. Okay, you are right about America, I should have said United States(ean). That's not a real world though.

[honeybeey2kjm]

We are def hair twins...my hair is half-way down my back when straight, but just at my shoulders when curly. Shrinkage sure is crazy.

[idontknowwhyiwrote8]

Honestly, your hair scares me!

[chubbi44]

Shrinkage is amazing...it is totally amazing how you can have hair down to the crack of your ass and it shrinks up to your shoulders...LOL

[datmixedkid2396]

lmfao @ your comment

but your are right!!

[rosered1585]

ur hair is crazy long! love it!

[ChicagoCoils]

One YouTuber said, "Shrinkage is an optical illusion." I thought that was cute.

[sgilk4]

Your hair is fly!

[vitak72]

I've got to know this color. I have dark brown hair with copper highlights and need a brown color/rinse on top. What rinse is this?

[Jam5bam]

My hair used to look like that before I put stuff in it.What do use to wash your hair and does it make your hair grow?Im starting over with my hair now.

[blackhairchronicles]

Its nuts how much you look and sound like one of the girls I went to college with...her name was Lauren though.

[atinob43]

Awesome.

[cawitsme]

wow! beautiful! :) I love ur hair!

[DECOART1]

If I had your hair weave would never cross my lips...you have beautiful hair...I would never cover it up. A break for me would be a ponytail or something...not a weave. Working in a salon for my early years I have seen many people that have had aweful miss haps cutting weaves out....be careful dear...careful

[up4itgal]

Nice hair, I am a little concerned about the weave though especially as you have colour in your hair now. Tell us how you take care of your hair and I'll get a weave too lol

[Dkjames5]

wow!! beautiful hair!! it's long....I'll get to that length one day =)

[CurlyTopLori]

Absolutely beautiful!

[grinnabee]

that nail polish your are wearing is pretty. what colour and brand is it? thanks.

[yoruba21]

gurl you and rusticbeauty gots alot of hair!

[msanalysis]

WOWZZERS your hair is amazing, boy it grew so long and its thick too, which makes it look so big, I luv it!

[safire718]

YOU HAIR IS THE BOMB

[GullahGyal]

I have no idea ho w long may hair is due to shrinkage. I think I may try a blow out later on in the fall.

[ashinkledinkle]

your hair looks great!!! the same thing happen to me lol. Over the summer I took such good care of my hair and wore it in it natural state no heat except my weekly deep condition. So when I decided to get braids at the end of the summer I went to blow dry it and could not believe how long it grew!

[letinian]

girl...that's alot of hair....awesome!

[dancermickey]

Wow ur hair is gorgeous! I look forward to 1 day very far from now growing my hair that length. Great job

[catsbane]

You hair is so lovely. I was surprised when I tried to straighten my hair how long it was, but it refused to get straight enough for me to really tell. Everytime I would go to a new section, my hair was start to curl back.. I soon got so fustrated a just dry twisted and called it a night..lol

[BrownFaceTV]

OH MYYYYYY!!! Beautiful, sweetie! What a blessing!! I would so wear it just like that. Can't wait to see the new do. I'm contemplating either braids or a sew in myself.

[mrsgriffin41]

your hair is so long...shrinkage is crazy!  My daughter's hair when blown out is at her waist...but in curly state just below her shoulders....

[lilallnatural1]

Your hair is BEAUTIFUL!!

[onxbutterfly]

Looks like my hair if I use a blow dryer.

I like to air dry <3

Can't wait to see your new style.

[cjbrownsc]

Your hair is beautiful! It looks like my 13yo daughter's hair when it's blown out.

[keykee88]

Umm give me your hair! lol

[MAC4daze]

Naturally~Lovely!

[DivineNubienne]

[NaturallyKai124]

i loooooooooooooooooooooooooove your hair!!! i'm trying to get on your level...lol, but yeah, i can't wait to see your weave when its done, because I like curly weaves as well. So I'm excited to see the results!

[dolphinkillerwhale]

Gorgeous hair! Where are you going to get your weave done? I'm afraid to get one because I fear breakage BUT if you know a GREAT stylist who believes in healthy hair PLEASE let me know. I'd really appreciate it. Thanks! :0)

[SJANELJ]

girl you should rock your hair like that one day. i did it and it is funny to see folks faces. but yeah i blowdry my hair strait like once every 2/3 months to see how ling it has gotten.

[akamizzT]

[Pinkperpetual]

OMG, I love ur hair. Beautiful big hair

[yluvsasince2007]

[stacystace1]

Beautiful Mane! I am in my 7th month of transitioning and a little fed up. Also considering getting a sew in but so scared as I have never had a weave. Cannot wait to see your pics for inspiration!

[chisellecouture]

[chappy2468]
