For those who may have a much looser wavy curl pattern or just aren't familiar with the concept of shrinkage, let me explain. Shrinkage is a decrease in length when hair goes from wet to dry. Okay, I am going to start by letting you all know, shrinkage is a normal and good thing. Although it hides our hair's true length, shrinkage is one of the best indicators of textured hair health. Natural hair that is properly hydrated and moisturised will shrink. Shrinkage is also a sign of your hair's elasticity and its resistance to breakage. Shrinkage is an indicator that your hair is healthy, hydrated and happy but even though your hair is happy, it can really frustrate the owner.
Method One: Twists
Twisting my hair is one of my favourite ways to reduce shrinkage, and I rely on the Moisture Cream Hair Butter to achieve beautifully defined, stretched curls. If you're looking for a product that moisturises and adds hold and shine, this is the perfect product. Start by splitting your hair into four sections, then lightly dampen it with water. Apply a finger scoop amount of Moisture Cream Hair Butter to each section. Infused with nourishing ingredients like Mango Butter and Avocado Oil, this rich formula deeply moisturises while providing the right amount of hold to keep your twists in place.
Once your hair is detangled, twist each section, gently pulling the hair to stretch it out to its full length. The Moisture Cream Hair Butter works wonders in reducing shrinkage while ensuring your curls stay beautifully defined. Once the twists are dry, untwist them to reveal soft, stretched curls with amazing definition. For extra volume and a polished look, separate each curl into individual strands to avoid clumping.
The beauty of this method is that it’s incredibly simple and requires minimal effort. It’s the perfect protective style for any curly girl. Whether you prefer twists or plaits, That Good Hair Moisture Cream Hair Butter ensures your hair stays stretched, defined, and full of moisture without shrinking back up.
After you have twisted your hair, don't forget to seal your ends with a small amount of oil.
Method Two: Blowout
This may not be your preferred method if you don't use heat on your hair, however it is a very simple, fast and effective way to stretch out your curls and fight shrinkage but be sure to use heat protectant and the cool blow dryer setting. For this method I would recommend using yourThat Good Hair Golden Hair Oilthat contains Buriti Oil and Baobab Oil for UV and SPF protection. Pour a small amount into your palms and run the product through your hair. Use a blow dryer with the comb nozzle attached to stretch your hair directly from the roots. This will disrupt your curl pattern but does work with making your hair longer. This works for all hair textures to stretch your hair.
Make sure you use a heat protectant on your hair before blow drying to protect your hair from heat damage.
Method Three: Banding
Banding is a popular method, often seen with African threading on 4C hair, but it works beautifully for all hair textures, especially if you're looking to avoid heat. Much like a twist-out, start by dampening your hair with water and applying That Good Hair Hydrating Hair Mist to lightly moisturise and prep your hair. Follow up with a small amount of That Good Hair Healthy Hair Golden Oil to seal in moisture and add shine. The Hydrating Hair Mist offers a refreshing boost of hydration, while the Healthy Hair Golden Oil provides nourishment and a light hold to keep your curls defined.
Once your hair is damp and detangled, split it into as many equal sections as you’d like. The more sections you create, the longer the process will take, but this will help prevent visible indentations from the hair bands. For each section, take a hair band and tie it as close to the roots as possible. Then, continue to add bands down the length of your hair, leaving a small gap (around 1-2cm) between each band. The spacing may vary depending on your hair length, but be sure to gently stretch the hair as you go to prevent shrinkage.
As the hair bands stretch the hair, you’ll achieve beautifully elongated curls without the need for heat. Once your hair is completely dry, remove the bands to reveal soft, stretched curls with great definition—thanks to the moisturising mist and the nourishing hair oil.
Banding is a simple, heat-free styling method that works wonders for any hair texture. For even more moisture and shine, try adding That Good Hair Moisture Cream Hair Butter to your routine for beautifully defined and hydrated curls!
When banding your hair opt for silk or satin elastic to prevent any breakage from the friction.
Useing it for the first time I found it very greasy as it mad my hair very greasy.

✨ Review: Hydrating Mist + Hair Oil Duo ✨
My son has been using the hydrating mist and hair oil from this company consistently in his hair routine, and the results honestly speak for themselves. His hair looks healthier, shinier, and has so much more volume now. On Eid especially, his hair looked amazing — soft, defined, and full without looking heavy.
The hair oil has become his favourite part of the routine. He massages it into his scalp twice a week and leaves it in for a couple of hours before washing. It really helps keep his scalp moisturised and makes his hair feel stronger and smoother afterwards.
The hydrating mist works perfectly alongside it because it adds lightweight moisture and shine without making the hair greasy. He usually sprays it before styling with mousse, and it helps define the hair while keeping frizz away all day. ✨
What we noticed after regular use:
Shinier, healthier-looking hair
Softer texture
Better volume and definition
Less dryness and frizz
Hair feels hydrated but lightweight
Overall, this combination has worked really well for his routine, especially for keeping his hair looking fresh and styled naturally. Definitely products we would keep using. ⭐

Best beard oil on the market, has the exact results I want from a beard oil and I need to use so little to get my desired results, couldn’t recommend enough

We love using the hair butter in my daughter’s hair. Makes it easier to brush and smells lovely. She loves her curls 💛
Leanne C.5/5
Love this , hair looks less frizzy and you only need a small amount
Not sure of the scent of it though
Debra G.5/5Verified
I have only just started using the products. It’s maybe just three weeks now but this leaves my hair feeling so clean without any white residue like some other cleansers. It’s a must have and because I feel so clean and all residue is removed. I no longer wash my locs I just use this now and it gives me the same effect pending when I decide to redo my locs at the salon.
Cassandra E.5/5Verified
Since using the hair butter and hydrating spray my daughter’s hair has been easier to style and there has been less tears. Before her hair was dry but after using the products her hair looks shiny and healthy. We love how they smell too. Would definitely recommend.
Leanne C.5/5Verified
i really like the hair mist so far, i don’t need to wet my hair anymore to refresh the waves i just use the spray and it brings it back to life that little bit more!! when i finish i’ll bring it back to refill!! xx
Alyssa D.4/5Verified
Love it. Smells great. Makes my curls look amazing
Michelle A.5/5Verified
It absorbs beautifully without sitting greasy on top, which is rare. My hair drinks it up and just looks expensive afterwards. The frizz? Calm. The dryness? Gone. The ends? Sealed and behaving.

These products are amazing. My beards are fully, healthier and more pronounced.

My edges are filling out. I am super happy.
Olufisayo A.5/5Verified
I RARELY write reviews so trust me when I say this product has my heart! I believe it's my fourth time purchasing it and honestly my hair absorbs and loves it. I find my hair to be frizz free and I barely get any breakage, I put that down to how moisturising it is. I also use it for my kids and their hair loves it too! I love how gentle the ingredients, it gives me a peace of mind

I’ve been using this hydrating hair mist for a short while now, and I’m genuinely impressed with the results. My scalp feels well-hydrated and comfortable, without any dryness or irritation. My hair feels noticeably softer, healthier, and more manageable, with a natural shine that doesn’t feel greasy or heavy.
What I really appreciate is how lightweight the mist is—it absorbs easily and refreshes my hair without weighing it down. It’s perfect for daily use, especially when my hair needs a quick boost of moisture. Overall, this product has helped improve the look and feel of my hair, leaving it nourished, refreshed, and well cared for. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to maintain hydrated, soft, and healthy hair.

I was recommended this by someone who works here for my 4 month old baby. I’d beg to differ.. essential oils and tea tree are definitely not recommended for a baby so young. I tried it on myself it’s ok but definitely won’t be buying from here again. I wanted to like it but it’s not for me

Sonia A.5/5Verified
So much more mangeable. Feels healthy and moisturised not frizzy and fly away
Rebecca K.5/5Verified
I was approached in Westfield Shopping centre as I have curly hair and was told the product would be perfect for my type of hair. I have been looking for something that would be light enough not to weigh my hair down but give it the moisture it needs. I was super excited to use the mist but unfortunately it just dried my hair out. It was very light on my hair but didn’t enhance the curl pattern any more than what it was. I am very disappointed with the product especially for the price. I have to use it with my original hair product for it not to dry my hair out. I would not purchase again,
Sorry 😕 I wanted to love it but it’s not for me!
Michele D.1/5Verified

3 curly kids and we love this stuff so much! We have the whole range, and I often borrow some on the oil or butter for my own hair. Genuinely wouldn't be workout this spray now. Best things I've used on my kids hair by far
Aimee B.5/5Verified
Defines my daughters curls so well! By far my favourite product for my curly kids. And it smells divine! Taken 3 years to find what really works for her, so glad we took a chance on this range.

“Absolutely love this hair oil! It makes my hair so soft, manageable, and smooth. The scent is amazing too — not overpowering, just right. A must-have in my routine!”
Mitchelle S.5/5Verified
I love this bonnet! 1) I've become a restless sleeper so I toss and turn quite a bit and this does not come off. I don't have to do the mid sleep checks anymore to see if it's still on my head 2) I've spent so much money on silk bonnet and it just not living up to the hype but this £8.50 satin bonnet has done everything i thought those silk bonnets would do. I have thick wavy hair and these have been amazing controlling the frizz!
Mya5/5Verified
I Decided To Try The Mist After Using The Oil For A Year. It's Great For When My Hair Is Styled; It Was Especially Good When I Was On Holiday In Ghana; My Locs Were Hydrated and When I Took Them Out Of The Style, They Were Moisured With No Need For Oil. I Only Need To Use It Once A Week In The UK; About Every Other Day In Hot Weather. Give It A Try; The Larger Bottle Is Great Value.

After doing the big chop I was so worried my hair wouldn’t grow back quickly but omg.. after using this hair oil (along with other TGH products) I finally feel like I have my crown back. I swear by this hair oil!! The scent, the texture and the way my hair has grown back so healthily! I even use it on my hair clients. I can’t fault it at all, thank you ThatGoodHair!! ❤️
