Hair Tip: Easy Ways to Spice Up your TWA


With limited style options, wearing a TWA can get very boring.  The convenience of just waking up and going is great but no one wants to be a plain Jane.  I for one am pretty bad when it comes to french braiding and flat twists.  So, here are some subtle non-styling options that can take your TWA to the next level.  These are simple solutions, but they make a world of a difference.

1. Fancy Earrings-  Notice I said fancy, not big.  Yes, big earrings are great to wear with a short hairstyle but you could wear studs that standout just as much.  Wear some earrings (big or small) that you wouldn't normally wear.  Some that stand out in color, shape, or size.

2. Eye Makeup- I'm not a person who puts on makeup everyday, so if you're like me, live a little.  You don't need a lot.  All you need is a little liner and mascara.  You can even leave out the liner.  With a TWA, your eyes become a focal point, so make them sparkle.  Also if you'd like, go ahead and arch those eyebrows!
 
3. Accessorize- A simple flower, bow, or scarf in your hair can be very appealing.  Try using hair pins/combs to pin some of your hair back or into a Mohawk.
 
4. Edge Control- This seems silly but for real, smooth those baby hairs back!  Slicking your edges down gives your hair the appearance of a very clean and tapered look.
 
5. Bold Lips- Experiment with lip stains, lipsticks, glosses and etc.  Whether it's red, purple, brown, or turquoise, be bold!  If you don't like too much color, I suggest a tinted Baby Lips by Maybelline.  Its moisturizing lip balm with a hint of color.

6. Part It- Give your TWA some character by adding a part to it.  Try a side part, use a little gel to keep it parted if needed.

Lastly, the best way to rock your TWA is with confidence!!  Even if your aren't feeling your best, walk around with your head held high, when you know you're beautiful, everyone else will know too.
