Anyone have any advice or tips to bring the shape and take the skrink out?

Thanks!!

Thanks for the welcome!

My cleanser-Hair One, then I used a suave conditioner(although I think this is where I messed up) and then I used Uncle Funky's Daughter (Good Hair) for my leave-in, and then just some oils.

Yes my hair is totally dry, Idk how to post pics,

thanks for the thread!

Ok so sealing with oil is ok? because usually I seal with some shea.

Thank you! I will apply these guides when I wash my hair.

I JUST learned how to have my curls more defined with less shrinkage. I wash it, detangle, while the hair is sopping wet, I apply a generous amount of herbal essence totally twisted as a leave-in in the shower, put a towel on my shoulders and LEAVE IT ALONE!

This results everytime in defined curls ...

When my hair is wet, I have very defined 3c/4a curls, however, sometimes when it dries, it looks like nothing but 4b curls. This is because I used to manipulate the hair while wet...now, I just put in a heavy leave in, seal with oil or shea and add a few spritzes of gel if I want hold (which I almost never do).

If, however, your curls are not defined when wet, I doubt they will be when dry...you cannot create a curl pattern that you do not have...

oh by the way, the Henna has helped my shrinkage a little...my hair hangs a little heavier now
