How many wore their TWA at this stage?

Oh No! Don't take it the wrong way. Your skin is lovely. These things will put the focus on your face and not your hair. As far as concealer, I'm speaking of around the bottom of eyes. I know that a lot of women that don't wear foundation will wear a concealer.

I have been wearing my TWA since day 1 without a scarf or anything like that. I got my cut less than 3 months after my last relaxer and I rocked it from there. I had less than an inch of hair because my beautician cut out all of the scab hair. I loved it. I stopped to get my brows arched and that was that. No need for all of the makeup, even though I love it. The TWA stage was the most beautiful stage of my journey. It put my face and smile at center stage and I loved every minute of it.

Try it out.

I think she meant concealer to go with eye makeup. If you put concealer on your eyes first, it makes the makeup go on and stay on better. Without it, the makeup will crease and wear off during the day.

Leshia girl you better stop playing and rock that hair. You look great!

Seriously, it takes time to adjust to the new look. I wore a scarf for an entire semester b/c I wasn't used to the way I looked. When I took it off the compliments were endless. It took me about 6 months to get comfortable with my hair...but they only way to get there is to get to it!

That femininity = long hair belief is BS. It takes a minute to get over it in your own mind, but the trade-off in confidence is priceless.

You'll be fine with some clear gloss and baaaad earrings. Get 'em girl!

Wore my TWA, although it was about 5" long stretched. It was a little weird--for about a week. I wore a phony pony once on a weekend--it just wan't my thing. I didn't feel the need to wear extra makeup to compensate for my lost hair (I chopped about 9"), but I did like having a little lip gloss.

Sometimes I miss the ease of my TWA.

It IS easy (and kinda' fun)! I love to look at it but I guess I'm afraid that someone won't accept it and say something really mean or something. I'm SUCH a chicken about it and didn't realize it until now...

I am wearing my TWA out right now and it's probably about that length, maybe a little longer. Anyway, I think it's more about confidence more than anything else. I know you are probably lacking it since your husband gives you those "looks". Trust me when I say that I know those looks. The thing is that I know I look good. I don't care what my FI says or how he looks at me. He just doesn't like natural hair unless it's hair that looks like 3-something hair. He'd prefer that I relax but he knows that's just not what I want to do right now.

You have such a beautiful face and your hair and its color is so hip. I bet people would think that you're some kind of model or something if they saw your hair like that. I'm sure it looks better than that darn scarf that you use to hide your hair! Go ahead and wear your hair proudly. Know that you look good when you walk out of the house and don't let anybody else convince you otherwise. Now's a good chance to really get to know your hair and let it come into its own. Wear it out so that you will be comfortable with it later on when it gets bigger.

i wore my twa from the very day i cut it. i thought people were going to hate it. WRONG! Men, women, children couldn't stop telling me how much they loved it. Mind you I went from BIG curly texturized hair, to a short bob, to a TWA in 2 weeks. When I got back to school that fall I was scared at first but I think I may have pulled more guys then than I do now with my length. LoL. Just do it once, the reactions may surprise you. You're beautiful so go show off!

Girl you are so pretty I don't get it, with that color you would look hot with whatever, I rocked my twa much shorter than that I couldn't even hold it that's how short it was, I was basically bald and marked a barber shaped it up for me after I went nuts and cut all off with a paper sizzors lol, no but seriously do your thang honey, and be confident and feel great and have a talk with your huzzy, let him know you don't appreciate his support and he should stop that,
