Found in Transition: Chime Edwards Gives Ways To Have Confidence After Big Chopping

Now that you've big chopped you look like man. Just kidding, but this is how most ladies I encounter say they feel after they've snipped their relaxed ends off. We associate low haircuts with the male species and long flowing hair with feminine beauty. But attractiveness is not all about hair. You must accentuate and accessorize your other features after your big chop.

Do It Up

Finding ways to be feminine will create more confidence. Your face is now on full display so use make-up to define and enhance your God-given beauty. A bold lip color instantly adds femininity to the face. Coral and purple are amongst the popular hues this season. Add a lip liner by carefully following the natural contours of the mouth. This can add dimension and accentuate the lips. Nothing screams sexy quite like a plump, painted pout.

Eyebrows

A well-groomed brow can not only give you life honey but also a face lift. Arched brows are the foundation of a flawless face. Try not to go thin. Thin brows are usually associated with age. Thicker brows create a more youthful look.

Earrings

As a kid I hated if I forgot to wear my earrings to school. I felt like I looked plain without them. I feel the same today. Wearing large or dangling earrings instantly gives any look more personality. Play around with hoops, drop earrings and even shapes to jazz up your look.

The bottom line is, don’t associate a TWA with looking like a guy. Big chopping does not mean boy. It means beauty. Use this time period with short hair to discover and appreciate yourself in your natural splendor.

Chime Edwards is an extremely popular YouTube vlogger with over 145,000 subscribers. Chime was also featured in Nikki Walton’s (Curly Nikki) book, ‘Better Than Good Hair.’
