Battling Shrinkage

Calling all Curlies, Calling all Curlies....

I need your help. I need any and all things tried, read or Youtubed in regards to controlling shrinkage. Since I am doing the twist Challenge I intend to try a different technique each week.

Let me tell you about my hair...when stretched in the front it's nose tip length. In the back its just about to the bottom of my neck and on the side it's below my earlobe!! Now when it shrinks I have a TWA all over LOL! DISCLAIMER: I love my hair, Sasha Shrinkage is her name, I just want to be able to control her somewhat. As you can see in my profile pic it's stretched

On Sunday I plan to try twisting on completely dry hair using OOOPs shea mix.

Thank you in advance for any and all suggestions!

Girl this cracked me up (Sasha!!) because I can totally identify. Just this morning when I first styled my hair wet, it had some weight and hang, I literally walked away for maybe 5 minutes max, came back to diffuse it and BAM -- at least one inch shrank already.
I have tried a stretching technique I saw on You tube, I literally twist big sections, with more twist at the scalp than the ends and clip them and either let it air dry or use a dryer until it's mostly damp, when I did this I still had some shrinkage with twists I put in but not nearly as bad.
Now, I got to figure out how to get my length with wash and go's (which is about the same as yours) to not look like it did when I first BC'd ... oh well smh, maybe someone can chime in with some suggestions.

I hope so because I am tired of folks saying did you cut it again
