TWA : Mock bun (Hair Style)

TWAs endure an endless battle of fighting boredom. Waiting for your hair to grow is literally like watching paint dry. Lets delegate a certain group to handle that task, in the meantime we can reinvent the TWA. For those who are not familiar with TWA, no it's not airline related. TWA stand for Teeny Weeny Afro. After a while of embracing this young crop of hair things tend to get a little redundant, So here is my new way of putting some pizazz back into the Teeny Weeny Afro.



Purchased them from the dollar store
Things  you'll need: 
Decorative flowers
Hair pins
No pull elastics
Water
Gel
Hair oil (optional)

You'll find flowers in hair stores and arts and craft shops
 First thing I did was wet my hair then used Eco Styler gel. After styling to desired curl I sectioned off the back of my hair into three puffs using my no pull elastic bands. Pull the puffs as high as you comfortable can. Try using a twisting method if all your curls don't want to fit in.
Now take one decorative flower pining it securely to one of your puffs. Anchor each flower with hair pin using puff as a foundation.
Get creative I styled mine in a circular motion to give off the effect of a bun. The second time I imitated a crown effect. The more flowers the better. You can pin them all over the back of your hair even some on one side.
Use small or big flowers, whatever comes together. Bigger flowers for  a bold presence and smaller ones for a romantic feel.  I like to put a part in my TWA for  a more defined stylish appeal.



















 Tips: 
  • You can achieve the crown effect by pining flowers high in arch movement stopping at each ear.
  •  Rubbing hair with hair oil while wet will give your curls a gloss when dried.



Play with color, fabric, and texture
