Style Inspiration: 3 inches or less
This article is part of a style inspiration series.
Learning to style your hair without extensions and wigs in ways that make you feel pretty is key to falling in love with your natural hair and enjoying wearing it.
When your hair is a true TWA (teeny, weeny afro), you have fewer styling choices, but that doesn’t mean you can’t be cute!
Explore the styles below and select one to master:
Undefined Fro
You can never fail with a simple, moisturized, beautiful, undefined fro. The shape of your hair will dictate how your TWA looks. Consider getting it trimmed so it’s even or tapered.
However, if you plan to grow it out, you probably don’t want the sides and back tapered.
Even when it’s short, you can add accessories like decorative bobby pins and headbands to spice up your look.
Defined Fro with Finger coils
If you want to add some definition to your fro, you can create coils with your fingers or a comb.
Once your hair is completely dry, you can leave them in place or separate them.
Flat Twists
Flat twisting really short hair requires skill, but it’s not impossible.
Chunky Fro with a Twist Out
You can also add definition to your fro with a twist out.
Combo: Flat Twists + Fro
