we call it shrinkage.Basically when you're 100% natural (no chemical straightener/relaxer) since our hair is the tightest curl, when it's wet it shrinks. Someone that looks ear lenght hair can actually be mid back lenght if hair is stretched by blowdrying, or other methods like this. Couldn't find a better one

Sorry to disrupt your thread.


Using gel then using spray is the way to go, as per my white male friends.
