Before the “why are you straightening her hair?” comments start… 😂❤️
Let me explain! Her hair doesn’t necessarily grow faster when it’s straight — we’ve just noticed that she retains more length when it’s in a stretched, low-manipulation state.
When her hair is natural, there’s more detangling, combing, pulling, separating, shrinkage and overall manipulation. With her hair stretched, I can leave it alone longer, minimize the tugging and reduce the amount of breakage we see.
So the goal isn’t to change her natural texture or make her hair “better.” The goal is healthy hair, length retention and keeping those beautiful ends on her head! 🥰
I’m also very intentional about how I use heat and products on her hair because healthy hair comes first. ❤️
And yes… I already know somebody is going to say, “Just leave her hair natural.” 😂 Baby, I’m her mama — I’m doing what works best for her hair. 💕
