it's actually really simple, just comb your hair once in the morning and once before sleeping and braid it at night to protect it. (my hair went through the same thing because I was being lazy with it
Just make sure it's healthy, sometimes hair breakage is what causes it to stay at a certain length.
Also sleep with a satin pillow or silk scarf at night. I found sleeping on a regular pillow would damage my hair cuz I toss and turn in the night, plus your hair wont be frizzy in the morning which is cool
OP has curly hair tho. Brushing it dry will just cause breakage and washing it nd combing it every day will dry it out which will, again, lead to breakage
My hair turns to type 4 after I shampoo it, I then have to wait for like to 2 days for it to go back to how it wasIs there any somalis with type 4 hair
