People Are Showing What Their Natural Hair Looks Like Wet Vs. Dry, And The Transformations Are Stunning
Prepare to be amazed.
If you didn’t already know, natural curls go through a bit of a transformation when they're wet and then dry.

For example, many people with naturally curly, kinky, and coily hair experience shrinkage after wetting their hair — which is when hair shrinks to less than its actual length as it dries. It's completely normal and means that the hair strands are healthy and have good elasticity!

The amount of shrinkage people experience varies based on factors like hair texture and porosity.
Recently, people on TikTok have been showing the difference between their natural hair when it's wet and dry, and the transformations are breathtaking.
