ALL women with a hair type other than straight, experience some sort of shrinkage. Women with afro-textured hair however can have up to 95% shrinkage. That is their hair appears to be only a fraction of what it's current length is. (Hair appears to be 5 inches long when it is actually 10 inches long)
I personally experience about 60% shrinkage and man, it is a struggle sometimes. The longer my hair got, the more annoying shrinkage became. Not because it concealed my length, but, my hair tangled and matted like never before. Wearing my hair is stretched out styles has been a lifesaver, a trick I learnt from HairCrush and Naptural85.
But, does wearing my hair in a stretched out style mean that I do not embrace my shrinkage?
As I stated, when my hair shrinks up, it becomes especially difficult to handle. Stretched out styles make it easier. I totally love my hair in a shrunken state. But the maintenance is simply too much.
If you or anyone you know struggles with shrinkage, please call 1-800-STRETCH IT OUT for an immediate relief from shrinkage.
Seriously though, stretching your hair out does not always mean texture hatred.
