7 Genius Ways to Nix Hair Shrinkage for GoodWork the kinks out of your naturally curly hair with these fool-proof tips |
Twist & Braid Outs What it is: The use of braids or a twist out makes for a heat-free way to combat shrinkage without the tools or hair accessories. Smaller braids or twists can help not only elongate your hair, but create a more defined curl pattern. Plus, it helps keep your hair from tangling up while drying.
How it works: While your hair is damp, separate a section of your hair to begin. The larger the sections, the less stretching (and longer drying time) you will get. Then braid or twist the section from the roots down through to the ends of your hair. Keep the braids or twists taut as you go. Allow it to dry thoroughly, then let it loose and rake your fingers through your hair to relax it.
