Makes me feel free and in control. I'm obsessed with my twa I want no other hair style at this point in my life. I don't know if that may change in the future. But at this point I'm very happy. So I wish people would stop obsessing over my decision to wear short natural hair. I'm almost positive that if it was super short and relaxed no one would even notice. WHY?!

YES NIA! YES!!! I have the same sentiments. I love my short hair. The first time I cut my relaxed hair into a pixie cut I fell in love. That was when I really started to pamper my hair and take really good care of it. My hair grew back thick and healthy but I stopped taking care of it because I didn't like it. So when I went natural, I knew that I would keep it short. And I fell even more in love with my hair. It just suits my face. So I get it girl. I get it.

@toni58104 жыл бұрын
I big chopped in 2017 after watching your videos. I've let my hair grow hoping to do puffs, buns etc. The TWA worked for me and I was more satisfied with it. I don't have the nerves to cut my hair myself, but I'm waiting on my barber to open up. This quarantine has given me ample time to experiment with this awkward length. I have low density/fine hair and the extra length accentuates the thinness. I'm going back to the tapered TWA which I find to be "elegance with an edge". I want healthy looking hair and my hair looks its best short. That's my reality. We can't always do what others do because it's cute. At any rate, your hair looks great! I'd like to see an updated wash and go! Thanks.....I needed this video! I can't wait to get to my barber!!

@nekeavalentine87174 жыл бұрын
I came to this same conclusion after growing my hair out for less than 2 years. I cut it back to a twa and this was in 2004. Haven't had long, loose hair since! Wore my twa for a few years, locked it for 10 years and now back to a buzz cut now that I rock blonde. That's also a major plus - all of the fun I get to have with color. The short blonde 'do is just more stylish for me TO me and fits my aesthetic much better. I also agree that I just enjoy my hair MORE because it fits my lifestyle while many women are trying to make their lifestyle fit their hair. Meanwhile all of Saturday is spent on hair. I wasn't able. I'll be rocking out the rest of my days with my buzzcut and happily experimenting with my blonde shades. I don't have to worry about damage since I have a fresh, new cut every two weeks.
