I'm just wondering how much shrinkage the majority of you get with your hair being as long as it is. My hair type is 3C/4A and MBL when stretched. However, when it's dry or in it's shrunken state it hits right at my earlobe.

answers in bold; shrinkage can be annoying

4a with a 3c crown and nape

2) What is your present length stretched?
Completely straight, I'm somewhere between mid-back and waist length

3) Where does your hair fall on you in it's dry natural state?
A pinch longer than shoulder length


4) What products do you find help you to retain your length the most?
Anything wet equals shrinkage when it comes to my hair. Shea butter applied after my hair has completely dried helps.

Once per week (or two weeks) I use a moisturizing shampoo, then DC with Aubrey Organics GPB or White Camellia. If I DC with White Camellia I leave it in. If I DC with GPB I rinse it out.

If I go two weeks between shampoos, I'll co-wash twice weekly with any conditioner.

I may or may not use a leave-in, which would be Giovanni Direct Leave-in.

(I don't use heat. I dry in braids)
