Shrinkage 101

I was browsing through recent pics and my hair appears to be the same length for the last year or so. Boy was I wrong!! My hair has a springy, snap-back type of thing going on. Apparently my hair is growing it just doesn't really show. I tried different techniques like metal clips and shells on the ends of my hair to get it to stretch out...resulting in my hair snapping back in place as soon as I remove the clips. In these pics I am pulling my hair to show the length... I washed my hair after taking these pictures because it really shrinks after it gets wet. (Excuse my matted 2 week old twist out LOL!)
