TWA: When is your TWA not a TWA anymore?

I have been natural for 8 months now & have about 4 inches of hair I just wanted to know Im I still in the TWA mode or medium length

If you have some articles for me to refer to please send them
Thanks ladies

Idk but i woudl like to know i think if you can do a ponytail than you no longuer have a TWA

i agree with creole. there was a post about this a while back and I think the consensus was that you no longer have a TWA if your hair is 5 inches or longer *dont quote me on this, i may be wrong*

Here's the link to the post C. is referring to...

I remember reading this article I had forgot about it So I have a medium afro Thanks for the article crimsonpeach

No problem! I just read it a few weeks back. It looks like you and I are about the same length.

I can do bantu knots and twist outs. My hair is shorter in the front so no puff for me just yet.

I can't wait until BAA...

As you can see I have a a puff in my avi & it was my first one I really didnt know what I was doing but it turned out ok for my first time I cant get the bantu knots down yet I tried them before but they didnt turn out too good I may try them again
I will be glad when I can get a bigger BAA We will get there

i cannot do a ponytail and probably won't be able to for a while (maybe another year or so) because my hair is super thick...but i'm thinking that in a few months i'll stop saying that i have a TWA...

Basically, if you have more than 6 inches of hair...you no longer have a TWA

idk when ur no longer in twa state...i thought this was already posted before about how u can tell and stuff~

@fanmnatirel, I know what you mean. I've watched youtube vids of girls with hair my length who can put their hair in a ponytail, and i'm like "why cant i do that yet." It's because I have too much hair for one ponytail.

@sebastiann13- try twisting your hair, then knotting them. I tried it and liked them better this way, plus it stretched my hair more. I usually just pick it out into a curly fro tho..

I do twist alot c. & love the curly fro when I take it out I have done the pineappling technique & it works great for me but Ive been trying to treat my hair to some protective styles so now I have it in some cornrows w/a little hair out on the side

I dont know what the twist then knotting them is can you explain

@sebastian13- its the same as doing the knots only instead of coiling that section of hair, you twist it. then just wrap the twist into a bantu knot.

i hope i explained it well enuff

Thanks c. will try it I plan to keep my hair in cornrows til February then I want to treat myself to a natural hair salon
