It was during these early months of having an afro that I fully embraced the coloured lip. I had been thinking about it for long and when I went short, I finally put a stop to the what ifs and got myself my first red lipstick.

Even if lipstick isn't your thing, you can opt for well trimmed eyebrows (remember to fill them in before you leave the house), a little lip gloss or coloured gloss if you want some colour as well as some eyeshadow.This is the best time to try out the wing-tip eyeliner since your hair will not be on your face.
Skirts, dresses, well-fitted trousers and blazers, cute blouses, heels, sandals, etc are just some of the things that I ensured were in my wardrobe. I made sure to always look my best especially when I was struggling to find out how to style my afro.
For your short hair cut to look more intentional and chic, keep your outfits as polished as possible. Plan them out well such that they compliment your new look.
I love earrings and I used this time to get extra big ones, ones that would draw as much attention as possible. When your hair is short, your head tends to look smaller so you can get away with having huge earrings. Other accessories that I found useful were headbands and scarves which I tied on my head and made bows. Other useful accessories are statement necklaces.
