I KNOW THAT SHRINKAGE IS PART OF OUR HAIR HERITAGE BUT SOMETIMES IT JUST ANNOYED ME. BECAUSE IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO KNOW IF YOU ARE MAKING A PROGRESS IN THE LENGTH AREA. AND TO BE HONEST WHEN YOU ARE NOT VERY GOOD AT STYLING YOUR HAIR LIKE ME.
YES I AM AN AVERAGE " BRAIDER " AND AN AWFUL" TWISTER" ....LOL
MAYBE THAT'S WHY I CAN'T HAVE THE RESULTS THAT I WANT. FOR ME IT IS TOO SLOW TO SEE A GOOD LENGTH.
I KNOW THAT I TRIMMED MY HAIR RECENTLY BUT NOW IT IS QUITE DEPRESSING. MY HAIR ARE STILL THICK BUT THE LENGTH IS NOT VERY IMPRESSIVE FOR MY STANDARD.
I WATCHED A LOT OF TUTORIALS AND ADVISES BUT THERE ARE SO MANY THAT I DON'T KNOW WHICH ONE WILL BE THE BEST FOR ME.
MAYBE I NEED TO KNOW WHICH TYPE OF HAIR I HAVE 4a, 4b OR 4c ETC ... REALLY REALLY NEVER UNDERSTOOD ALL THIS LABELS. TO BE HONEST I NEVER CHECK WHAT WAS MY TYPE OF HAIR MAYBE THAT WAS A MISTAKE. DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT TO THINK.
THE ONLY ADVANTAGE OF THE SHRINKAGE FOR ME IS THE FACT THAT I DO NOT NEED A WEAVE IF I WANT TO CHANGE MY HAIR STYLE. AS LONG AS I KNOW HOW TO PROPERLY STYLE MY HAIR OR IF I JUST WANT TO LET "IT GO". LOL
THE WEATHER IN LONDON IS SO HOT THAT I CAN' USE MY CASTOR OIL BECAUSE MY HAIR BECOME HEAVY AND DIRTY TOO QUICKLY. AND THERE IS NO ABSORPTION AT ALL BY MY SCALP.
SO I CHANGE AND NOW I USE ONLY COCONUT OIL. IT IS MUCH LIGHTER AND MY SKIN ABSORBS IT QUICKLY . AND I ALSO USE IT FOR MY FACE INSTEAD OF SHEA BUTTER.
WITH THIS WEATHER WE HAVE EVERYDAY 30 Celsius AND THE HEAT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO HANDLE SO I WILL MAKE SOME MICRO-BRAIDS TO PROTECT MY HAIR.
I AM SO IMPATIENT TO FINISH WORK AT SCHOOL AND GO ON HOLIDAY FOR 6 WEEKS. EVEN IF TI MEANS TO FIND A NEW HOUSE AND PACK UP. LOL
Aw don't let the shrinkage bother you. Instead have fun with it in your styling. Then it won't even matter. Your length will be your length no matter how much your hair shrinks. If you are not seeing the kind of growth you hope for, maybe you'll need to tweak your regimen or cut back on blow drying or increase your protective styling. it is hard to say but a slight change in whatever you are doing might help. I'm not a huge fan of hair typing but if I were to guess I'd say that you look like 4a more than a 4b. You might even have a hint of 3c. But I don't really know . . . that is just my best guess. Good luck with your move.
RépondreSupprimerThank you but i think it is bothering me because i am not that good at styling my hair properly. I am sure that if i was better at managing it i will be fine. But i will follow your advice especially with this weather SO SO SO HOT ...... so i will only wear protective styles. PLUS I AM ON HOLIDAY FOR 6 WEEKS SO MY HAIR TOO. LOL
