If you read my post, “4 Topics That Unnerve and Divide The Natural Hair Community”, one of the topics that seems to be up for much debate is the idea of stretching one’s hair using braid and twist outs, hair banding, and other methods that don’t break down the hair through the use of chemicals.
Hair stretching is a simple technique that adds length to natural hair through stretching, or non-chemical manipulation.
After shampooing, natural hair can experience varying amounts of shrinkage – a reduction of hair length – once dry. Because natural hair can have a variety of curl patterns, from coils, to spirals and curls, our hair, which may be very long when wet, can shrink as much as 75% when dry as our curls start to tighten.
