Stretching it!

I've noticed that the only time my hair reaches past my shoulders, is when it's straightened or in two-strand twist.

This revelation prompted me to try stretching my curls. I twisted my wet hair [HEHH already added] and the next day I took the twists out and braided the sections. When I took my braids out, my curls were thick and shiny.

I went shopping today and my hair got damp from the drizzle...but I still think it held up well. I put in 5 chunky braids again tonight.
