Every time I stretch my hair, I’m like “wow, look at the length!” and then it dries and shrinks right back up like none of that ever happened.
It used to bother me a lot because it felt like my hair wasn’t growing, even though it actually was.
Now I try to remind myself that shrinkage means my hair is healthy, but mentally… it still catches me off guard sometimes.
One day I’ll fully accept it. Today is not the day.
