Many black women like using hair extensions to manage their hair.  However, there is always time for a TWA hairstyle. These haircuts are exactly what you need when you are tired of sporting a long mane and want something neat and easy to maintain.

Short haircuts have plenty of benefits. They open up your face and neck while outlining your facial features and letting the world see your eyes. They are easy to maintain and require almost no styling in the morning. Meanwhile, they can be dyed just like long hair so you can enjoy many different style changes.

What is a TWA Hairstyle?

Many women have no idea about what a TWA hairstyle is. And they are missing out on a lot of fun. TWA stands for ‘Teeny Weeny Afro‘. It’s actually a pixie with the hair cut short on the sides and a little volume on top but can also mean short hair which is all the same length.

TWA hairstyles don’t really have much to do with the large voluminous afros. They are just another way to keep the hair maintenance to a minimum while making you shine. The length of the top hair can vary from very short to rather long but should exceed about 3 inches. Most women prefer to go for 1.5 – 2-inch length.
