What is a TWA stage hair?
THE TWA STAGE As far as maintenance goes, the teeny weeny afro (aka the TWA) is the easiest afro stage. You can totally get away with a quick wash and go without any additional styling. Bad hair days practically don’t exist at this stage! For some, the short length may take some getting used to.
Should I dye my hair before I cut it or after?
