Style Trend : Teeny Weeny Afro ( TWA)



We’ve created our own language in the natural hair community. We’ve adapted words and made up acronyms that have become part of the international lexicon. Take for example, TWA. TWA stands for Teeny Weeny Afro, and that’s a part of the natural hair journey that just about all of us go through. Some people love rocking a TWA and make it their forever style. Some people dread the prospect of having to do the big chop and do their absolute best to never have to rock a short ‘fro. I think TWA’s are beautiful and incredibly awesome. Here’s 5 reasons why you should love a Teeny Weeny Afro.


TWA’s Are The beginning
TWA’s are the beginning. They’re your roots. Literally. The part of your hair that we’re so often told needs to be tamed or controlled, is at the surface in its full glory. This is when you get to discover your true texture and your curl pattern. It’s the beginning of a natural journey and that’s worth celebrating.

Effortlessly Elegant
TWA’s are effortlessly elegant. When you rock a TWA, your face is front and center. You don’t have hair to hide behind. It’s you, at your purest. Think of how Lupita N’yongo rocks her TWA like the crown that it is. Throw on a bold lip and some beautiful earrings, maybe a pair of big sunglasses. Your TWA puts your features on display

TWA's Are Youthful
TWA’s make you look younger. There’s something about short, sassy hair that brings out a more youthful beauty.

They're Easy To Accessorize
A short afro looks beautiful with a headband or even a tiara. Think of sliding in a flower clip or a bow if that’s your style. Whatever accessory you rock will look adorable and will stand out instead of being hidden in a massive mane. Rock your TWA with style and pride!

TWA’s Are Sporty
Seriously, there is no easier, more maintainable hairstyle for athletes or women who work out on a regular. This is a true, bonafide wash and go style.
