Looking back at my pic from September to now, December; my hair has definitely grown.
When are we no longer in the TWA phase? If I stretch my hair, I wanna claim SL; but if my hair is nicely moisturized it shrinks up and it's a TWA.
Looking back at other times I was natural, I never got hangtime anyway. It will always be a massive bush

You measure your stretched hair for length goals. Depending on your curl type you can be WL but still have your hair shrink to a twa.

Are you serious??? Or was this tongue in cheek?

No I am serious. I am guessing you haven't seen the pictures of half the hair straight and WL and the other half shrunken down. There is a shrinkage thread around here somewhere.
Am I misunderstanding something?

No I haven't seen that. I just didn't know that this was possible, lol.

I will post some pics or links when I am on my computer. It's too hard on my phone.

I didn't spend time making sure they were WL but They are between BSL and WL. You get the idea.

Thanks. I have seen these types of pics on google images but I find that many of them are shopped(not saying that these are). I big chopped over the summer so the shrinkage is irritating me but once I get to chin length unstretched then I won't care about it. I'm missing my hair framing my face, lol.

There are pictures from ladies on here with similar shrinkage but i dont have the patience to look for those with the search feature on this site being less than helpful. I also follow 1 or 2 ytbers with similar shrinkage.
It is possible that my shrinkage will be that way but I'm a long ways off from WL and I don' let my hair shrink up like that.
Anyway your curl is loser so you won' have that amount of shrinkage but I wouldn't use a shrunken state to measure hairs progress.

I am rocking a TWA. When my hair is long I feel so confident 
but at this stage, not so much. Looking for some support. My hair is too short for a pony/puff, but too long to be cute . I’ve been so tempted to relax. I need some ideas please. How do you manage hr awkward stage?

I've been managing by wearing braids and wigs. Every 2-3 months I plan on getting my hair rebraided, with a 1-2wk break in between. I currently have micros.
This will be my next style. I'm deciding between these two.

Planning on cutting my hair in June, debating on whether I should get it done in Paris or London. Don't trust the hair dressers where I live.

I have a low fade and don’t plan on growing my hair out. I may just grow out the top a little bit. Faded and tapered cuts are the way to go for me right now.

I guess I’m back here too. I have a very teeny weeny afro since I’m still growing out my fade. Life with hair this short is smooth, but it’s pretty boring lol. I need enough to put in some puff balls

I’m still short! Not growing my hair out any time soon. I go between 1/4-1/2 of hair, or a low fade. I colored my hair black. I’m due for a haircut now, but waiting for my lining in the front to grow back.

I think something like that would work.

I’m not sure who this question is for, but I literally only use 3 things since my hair is still relatively short. Warm water, Curls Blueberry leave in/APB Cupachu leave in, and Haitian/Jamaican Black Castor Oil.
