The journey of many naturalistas begins with a big chop mostly due to heat damage or transition from relaxed to natural hair. This is most cases will mean rocking a short hairdo aka teeny weeny(TWA) afro if you must get technical.
TWA is a short natural hairstyle with a maximum length of 2 inches. This is the hair natural girls rock after the chop and it is at that awkward stage where getting the right style for it can be a daunting task.
But not to worry. Should you be contemplating making the next big step for your hair, a TWA is not all doom and boring. With the right cut and designs, you will be on your way to rocking a chic look that will be the envy of many.
