My hair is almost shoulder length stretched but shrinks a great deal. It is coarse but and dense but fine, so when I twist, cornrow, it's too scalpy-looking for me.

I hope this helps.

I'm glad someone else agrees! I went through a phase where I thought that I *had* to be combing it, brushing it, putting it up in twists to protect my ends. After a year of ZERO growth, I realized that my hair grew best when I was just cowashing it and throwing it in a puff or wearing it out. Plus, I get the most compliments when it's out and coily. Ego-boost + length retention is my hair heaven.

I think we should start a club called the Wash 'n Go Girls.
