my hair SHRINKS! and when i say shrink i mean SHRINKS looks like my BG NOT something 6 months down the line ! i want to show my actual length without having to actually use heat if at all possible and i tried a braid out....this was my result....i mixed all products together (Lol i got extremely lazy) so its a little bit of conditioner eco styler gel water olive oil and paul mitchells leave in conditioner and it makes my hair soft as ever and actually more moisturized than when i did them alone ! any tips ?

Try banding or even braiding to stretch your hair. If you band make sure not to use rubber bands

Roller sets.

Banding. If your shrinkage is real powerful, you may have to do quite small sections with as many bands as you can fit on the length. If I want a good stretch, I will do about 10 sections.
