Scarlett wanted her curls to be long like they are right after wash day when they’re freshly detangled and still stretched. I did my best, used some no-shrink gel, and styled it for her. But we were headed to a humid outdoor patio, and well… the shrinkage was real. 😅 When I showed her this picture, she got upset. For the first time, she said, “I don’t want my hair to be big.” I reminded her how beautiful her hair is and how so many people would love to have curls like hers. When we got home she told me, “I do love my hair big, but with the outfit I had on today, I wanted it to be long.” 🥹 Whew. Our babies really know what they want and how to express it. I told her I’d do some more research on ways to elongate her curls without losing definition. If you’ve got any tips, fav products, or hacks (especially for humidity!) drop them below—we’d love to try them! 💛✨ NaturalHairJourney ShrinkageIsReal CurlyHairCommunity MotherDaughterMoments CurlsForTheGirls WashDayDiaries
