How are you styling that 3in TWA 4a/b Naturals?

[dlove]

After the BC in May, I am ready to try a new look with my TWA. My hair is noticibly growing, but I am so tired of this same look day after day. I like this new look I've been trying out, plaiting it in 14 little plaits and finger combing it every morning. I wear a cute little head band in the front.

I dont like weave or wigs. They tend to damage my hair and thin my temples after a while. I've noticed that my hair is longer around the perimeter than middle section. I think the middle section is 4b- Very tightly coiled, thick, compact and dense. The outer perimeter has been sort of damaged by heat. Its kind of straight with a very loose curl pattern. Its like 3c/4a hair. Speaking of heat, I tried to fblow dry and flat iron my hair Three times in October. I plan on wearing wash and gos for now on due to the horrible looking ends.

This thread has two essential questions:

1. What are your TWA hairstyles and

2. Should I get my ends trimmed from Octobers heat (I only have 3 inches of hair right now) or keep washing,conditioning, oil rinsing,ACV rinsing, moisturizing and sealing?

Thanks Ladies....

3 inches of hair is quite a bit. I used to put comb coils in my hair leave them in for a couple of days and then seperate them for a curly looking fro.

Well I have been doing two strand twists for awhile and I have had my hair cornrowed in Nov, sometimes I will wear a twistout or my afro puff. I haven't really done wash and gos lately. I picked my hair out some and wore my little fro. I'm going to try some more hair styles soon, but I don't wanna have my hands in my hair too much either right now. I'm tryin to focus on moisturizing my hair because I have a hair goal for April as far as length is concerned.

When my hair was that length I used to do was ans go's everyday or I would push the front back with a headband and wear it that way. Oh, how I miss those days...kinda.

When my hair was that short all I wore were wash and gos.

I mainly did twists for a few days, then wore a twist out fro with a headhand. You can try the same thing with box braids and wear a braidout fro. Sometimes my twists and box braids looked good enough to wear out the house, sometimes they didn't. Practice makes perfect.

Any others? Or are whats listed the basic styles? Besides the flat twists that is.

Accessorize! Flowers. Cute Pins. Earrings. Makeup. That's what I did until recently and I have way more than 3 inches. I had to start you tubing and finding videos of people doing different styles. I'm getting pretty creative now. Where as a month ago I was sooooo whack. I've been natural 2.5 years.
