Y’all. We got to stay embracing our shrinkage more. That’s a sign that your hair is really healthy. I love it.

@yultaenyot9401 4 года назад

well my hair is really really really healthy then 😂😂

@Dolly351 4 года назад

Yultaeny OT9 lmao I thought y’all know that. If your hair doesn’t shrink...you know it’s damaged. That’s why I use to call my heat damage, “trained” hair. Heard of that??? 😆

Who told you it's a sign of health? Stop regurgitating things that have no proof.

@aanihyasimone6045 4 года назад

I think she meant if your hair naturally shrinks when certain products that especially contain water shrinks your hair then it's normal. But let's say you applied way too much heat to your hair over the past few months and I wash your hair and see that you have long strangely strands of hair, that probably means your hair isn't healthy and that it's damaged

@faithm7997 4 года назад

I prefer the more defined curls too bc it lasts longer + hair usually gets more voluminous throughout the week anyway.

@ciripmd 4 года назад

I agree. My hair is my fave by day 3.

@Simplylockd 4 года назад

Both sides are gorgeous! But personally I like the defined side because that’s going to last you all week and the elongation will come naturally.

@wannabe41 4 года назад

That was a great demo! I’m type 4, so fighting shrinkage is largely a losing battle, so I embrace it. I prefer definition over volume because I love to show off my curl pattern and styles last longer if I don’t over stretch the them. And I didn’t know Afro Sheen has new products. I’m dating myself but when I was in high school, Afro Sheen and Luster products were pretty much all us naturals had.

@queenofsheba8948 3 года назад

Literally same😁

@nadegejuste2638 4 года назад

Actually, you can have a bit of both. 1st technique is to use gel even if you want to strech. I do this, and still able to combat shrinkage. using gel also give more definion and make the style last longer even if its streched. 2nd method is to use a streching thechnique on the inside of the hair, and on top where the hair is visible, u use the shrunken technique. So u create the illusion of defined curl on streched hair (but in reality is just the top of your hair being defined)

@letitaivory8831 2 года назад

Alyssa, you looked great with both styles! I like both sides but, I would prefer the defined side to show the defined pattern and for longevity of the style. Over the years my hair has changed and I now have a more defined curl pattern I never saw when I was younger. I'm new to wearing my curls like this or in a twist so, I'm definitely going to try your tips...hopefully I'll end up with a good result. I also didn't know that Afro Sheen had new products!

I prefer the more defined side... so what I do is dry my hair under my hooded dryer and stretch it with my blow dryer on medium setting to gain length, maintain curl definition and avoid frizz. It’s takes extra time but my wash n go lasts for 2 weeks💖

Both looks have some advantages. The more defined curls may not frizz as fast as the more stretched fluffy side. But the full side looks dramatic and glamorous. The defined side may look more in proportion for a small head, face and features. But on you Sis, Both sides look fabulous! Thanks for sharing!🙏🏾

@Listen2me400 4 года назад

I do the same with the dyson. Your left side, my right, is what I do. I like my definition as well. Also I can use silk scrunches later to stretch to my desired length, which I don’t leave them on more than 30 minutes and that gives me enough stretch and keep my definition. I love your thick hair. I have thick strands, but medium density. Love, Love Love your hair.💕

@the13thgoddess28 4 года назад

When you use the scrunches, is that on wet hair and then air dry?

@Listen2me400 4 года назад

Carlotta Graham I use them on dry hair. I don’t sleep in them. I only put them on in the morning for no more than 30 minutes. Not every morning, it all depends on the weather, humidity, if my hair shrunk the day before.

I don't understand the perceived length comment. This length is real. My hair seems to do opposite. As the days go by my hair gets bigger but shorter. I must be doing something different than others.
