I get about 35% shrinkage. Not much, but i actually LOVE my shrinkage because if my hair isn't blown out or stretched, it's like having short hair. I like the versatility of being able to have short curly hair and long hair when it's stretched. Maybe that's just me. :o) My hair is a little past my shoulders unstretched and midback length when stretched.

@ohglamour That's great! You really look at your shrinkage in a positive way! I think that's an important part of being natural...loving and excepting what you have and not wishing it was something different (even though most of us are guiltly of not doing so at some point in our journey). Good message!

it's better to use a diffuser attachment instead of a comb if you want to keep the curl.

@mylilsecert is your hair breaking from chemicals and heat or just just a lack of moisture ? always try to add a lot of moisture to restore the elasticity of your hair if that doesn't work then the hair is most likely damaged by keratin loss try the aphogee 2 step program you can read reviews at folica.com and follow the instructions very carefully it stopped my hair breakage ~ good luck !

How did you grow your hair so long ?

One thing that works well for me when I want to stretch my natural roots is the gel from the aloe vera plant. I take the gel from the aloe plant and coat my hair from roots to tip with it. I notice that my roots were smoother, softer, and the natural curl extended. I think it is a safe and healthy way plus the aloe gel promotes growth.

@HairCrush If my hair was this long,I would have no problem with it being natural...but with it being short and kinky, when it dries, i don't care for it. To each his own.

do you know where to get natural 100 percent avocado oil?

I too get a lot of shrinkage, and I've been natural over four years. My hair is really long, but appears shoulder length most times. My advice to anyone who wants to avoid shrinkage, is to avoid water except when necessary. From looking at your videos, it seems as though you like to use water while styling (like for your twists). In my case, I only style with dry hair. I use oils and things like that on my hair to twist, but I never twist on wet hair, if I plan on wearing it out the next day.

@facookie13 My friends do the same thing! I'll be sitting in church and people will randomly (well..people I know lol) tug on a curl and then watch it spring back..in school....once a friend actually put a penny in my hair and it disappeared! Lol
