wow my bc scared me!!!

My hubby shaved my head a few days ago on no 4 which left little sticks of relaxed hair on myu ends. I look like a porcupine

Did you want to not leave the house after your bc as me? I'm tired of answering questions as to why.

Did your texture shock you. I always thought my curl was looser but its very kinky and now it scares me.

What do I do with my twa? I cw everyday and put revlon flex gel in ( I'm sure that's no regimen).

What products can I use cos I'm in South Africa and we don't stock lots that you do.

I'm slowly starting to get over the shock, until I have to leave the house.

congrats on your BC! confidence....confidence...confidence is what it takes to rock a TWA. you were brave enough to make the step to BC, now work it girl! what products do you have access to? if you have access to hair conditioner and gel, i advise co-washing and trying out a little gel for styling. do an extensive search on you tube for 'short natural hair.' you will find much inspiration and product advice. best wishes chica

Some TWA youtubers I like:

I think it's pretty normal to be overwhelmed by your twa at first, give yourself time to get used to it and to figure it what products work best with your hair.

Hey Zeekd!!! Yes!!! Congrats on the BC!! And I totally agree with Mzicreativelyme. You made the biggest step so now all you have to do is "work it"!!! I am sure you have access to some natural oils out there like Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO), or coconut oil, avocado oil. These are all great for the hair (and skin). You should use a moisturizer like a leave in conditioner and then seal it in with one of these oils or a shea butter. You hair will be just fine. Do you have a pic to post??? I'm sure it's cute!!!

Thanks so much ladies you all are too adorable. I honestly can feel the love and support of this group. I guess I was put off mostly by the negative reactons. Today I faced my fears and went places I did not want to. It was not all that bad. It wasn't great either but I made it.

I do have a pic but have no idea how to post it.

We do have all the natural oils and I'll go get some asap. The only leave in I used before was TLC bone straight, doubt that's gonna work now

Everyday brings new confidence and hearing my hubby (who is Indian who has pin straight hair lol) tell me how hawt I look

I ask of this group to support your sister all the way in South Africa cause I am not turning back!!!

Congrats! Work that twa gurl! I know It can be scary at first but the great thing about a twa is that you get to appreciate each stage of your hair as it grows and you will really learn your texture from scratch. Twas can be a lil dry at first so make sure you deep condition, moisturize once or twice a day and seal that moisture in with an oil or butter. I bet you look great!
