Do you think you looked better in your TWA?

[RegaLady]

Anyone here looked better in their TWAs or even felt prettier, sexier, fiercer, attracted more attention, etc?

Maybe back in college. Now I feel really naked after having SL relaxed hair for two years. I covered mine back up with braids 3 weeks after my big chop.

Yes love my new look

 

[contsantia]

I completly did. When it's was super sorry I was uncomfortable but when it for to5 inches I was hot. You couldn't tell rhe anything. Feeling sexy without the needs for long flowing is great

I have a 4-5 inch twa, and when i wear it out you can't tell me nothing. I would not say i feel prettier, but pretty and fierce. I don't just walk i stomp. And i have a smile on my face when i see people (whites and blacks) looking. In my mind i imagine what they must be thinking, and i ca't stop smiling. So all of that i think makes me look more attractive.
But i need to get some extension and put it away, cause i have been exposing it to much to that cold winter. And it does not help that i am now on vacation, and i have not worn my wig in almost 2 weeks.

Maybe i'm in the minority here, but since when is a 4-5 inch afro a "TWA"? You can braid, cornrow, etc hair that long. Hell, if you straightened it, you may even be NL/SL depending on your proportions. I don't consider that "teeny weenie" but that's just me.

If my afro was 4-5 inches, I'd feel teh same too. But at one inch, it's much harder to feel feminine, I think.

It depends on the length. When it was bald and 1", I felt sexy. When it hit 2, I felt boyish. It's at 4" now, it's ok. Don't feel boyish, but it doesn't look as good as the bald or 1". I will start to feel better about it at 6" when it starts to have some hang time.

I think the stages between 1" to 5" can be trying. And I didn't feel the same about them. Each 1" seemed to changed the way my face looked. It just depends.

Technically there are a lot of designations between twa and baa, but if I'm not at NL, then I just consider it a twa. I have 4" of hair but I am haven't reached any length goals yet. I'm not yet NL.

I loved the TWA phase so much, I kept it that way for two years. Once i'm done letting it grow, I'll cut, donate and go right back to that adorable 1-2".

My hair stretched is 4-5 inch long, but when i wear it in its natural state, it shrinks to a 1-2 inch afro. A TWA to me is what your hair looks like and not necessarily how long the individual strands are. But to each their own understanding of it. Enjoying my TWA

Yes, you are. The individual strands are 4-5 inches, but they arent type 1 so they are experiencing shrinkage. My fro has looked about the same for the last 2 inches

 

[BraunSugar]

No. I didn't know what I was doing when I first BC'd so my hair was dry and a mess.

 

[yuhlovevybz]

I looked like a prepubescent boy. I still had scab hair and not much of a hair pattern. I would never go back to that.

 

[trinity8mod8]

Yes! when it was between 1-3" inches my hair looked so cute. It really framed my face well and brought out bone structure I didn't even know I had lol. I used to fluff up the top and then smooth down the sides which elongated my face and it looked "styled" lol since that was about all I could do. Then at 4-5" everything started to go downhill with getting knots and tangling, etc. I think I will revisit that style again after I reach waist or hip length.

 

[Napp]

Heck no.

 

[kupenda]

And no, once I get out of this poopy stage, I have no plans to come back. Under 2 inches? Yes. I felt adorable and I had no issues with tangles. 2 inches and longer? No no and no. Can't wait to have some better length

 

[Kerryann]

Oh heck I was being stalked when I got my twa. I had guys friends who started looking at me differently which scared the hell out of me.

I know. Less than 2" looks cute. Over that It requires long earrings, make-up and lots of girly stuff

 

[MzRhonda]

I prefer short hair so I may stay at 2 inches once I do the BC. I want something simple and easy but at the same time polished. I want to be able to work out and not spend a lot of time on my hair afterwards.

 

[Love Always]

Absolutely not! I'm still going through my growing out phase, shrinkage is something else.

 

[DaiseeDay]

Yes. I feel like chopping again. It really suited my face when I first chopped, but as it grew out to awkward phase & smedium length hair - not so much. I'm at APL straight ,but just hitting too of shoulders curly and it's like ehh + a pain in the butt to deal with and style.
