If you Love it, it will grow and length will show

Just wanted to post recent pics of my hair (stretched and not stretched). It's starting to get really long :)
I'm extra happy because the ends are still very thick.  My hair has different lengths depending what I do to it when it is wet. Here are some comparisons within only a 3 week span.

This is a wash and go. My hair shrinks up to just under collarbone length.

This is my hair after a braid-out. It is a couple inches past collarbone 

This is after bantu knots. It is my shortest length since it is just above my collarbone

These four pics are my curls completely brushed and stretched. It is my longest length, just about reaching armpit length.

These pics help display my shrinkage and how different styles emphasize it or make it disappear. I don't have a preferable style out of all these. I like how they all look. By far, the braid out is the easiest and the nicest to me on wash day so I usually stick with that. Today was my most recent wash day, so here are pictures of my wet hair. 

My wet hair is almost to bra-strap length. I think stretched, it probably reaches bra-strap length now. I will find out in February the results of my current length. :)

Happy HHJ!
