However, you may still want to reduce your shrinkage and I understand that completely.

So here are 2 ways I stop shrinkage on natural hair 4C

1️⃣ I Keep My Hair Sectioned and Twisted While Washing

The easiest way to solve shrinkage is to not allow your hair to shrink.

Therefore I keep my hair organized in several twists throughout the entire wash day.

2️⃣ I Keep My Hair Stretched After Wash Day

Again, stretching my natural hair in twists is one THEE best way I get rid of shrinkage, simple right!

➡️ b.t.w… good stretching techniques are also protective!

YES, reducing shrinkage will ultimately make your hair much more manageable…
