Serious Shrinkage

topic posted Fri, February 29, 2008 - 1:13 PM by  ~~**~~
So its been awhile since I jumped in da mix....an I gots questions... I moved to hawaii recently an have been swimming in da ocean alot knowing how good it will be fo me locks....in da process of it tightening I now fully look like a lioness cuz its all shrunk up to my upper back with it being super thick in the middle round my head an neck....it has kinda seemed like my locks have almost swelled up from da ocean like got bigger as well as tighten of course....
So my question is 1* has anyone experienced this before? 2* now that Ive lost most of my length do y'all think it will condense and get smaller with time and length? any thoughts will be much appreciloved.......
Give thanks

    The ocean is superb at tightening your babes. Once they stop shrinking (that depends on how locked they are or need to become) they will start getting their length back. My hair was weird in that my locking and growing process were even so my hair stayed the same length for like a year. They are longer now. Keep swimming!

    Darlin' that's just them babies doing what they are suppose to---get tighter and tighter--salt water is one of the best things for getting dreads to lock up.
    Don't fret--the length will return--just love 'em for what they look like at the moment.

      Sorry for all the multiple posts--I was using a new laptop and my post wasn't showing up immediately so I thought there was a glitch with my wireless. Sorry!!
