I’ve been growing out my hair 2-3 years, unfortunately for the first year and a half I was fading down my sides and back so the length difference is a lil yikes 😔 I’ve been getting braids more often recently, and I like the results for growth but my front taper bothers me. I’d like to keep the taper bc traction alopecia scares me but I feel like my front taper looks f’ed up or too big. Pics 3 and 4 are the best I’ve had it look before, but after first wash it ends up more like 1 and 2. Does it look bad or am I just hyper-fixating on it?

Last pic is my hair picked out after detangling to show the length difference between sides and top 😩

Any advice is appreciated, thank you 🫶🏽
