I can tell it's growing but the shrinkage is crazy.
So I'm not sure what to do. It's looking uneven (if that makes sense?) so some parts stick up higher than others. Some places curls are more defined and other places it looks frizzy.
I just hope I'm not walking around looking crazy and unkempt.
I know how you feel. TWA stage is hard because we can't do the protective or stretched styles to curb the shrinkage.
Some women get braids during this time but I always say if you have fine hair be careful with this option especially towards your hair line.
My hair is like that too frizzy in some parts and curly in other parts. My front edges are the frizzy parts. The danger of trying to grab your short hair into twists is that that is too much manipulation which can cause breakage.
If you wear a wig on a regular basis be mindful of the nylon cap which can block the moisture and stress the hairline.
The good news winter is upon us and you can hide your hair in nice silk scarves and knit caps. By the time the summer comes, your hair should be at least four to six inches which can then be protectively styled and stretched through twist outs and braid outs.
It is a phase that will not last very long. If you feel that your hair needs a shape up then shape it up. But keep in mind that if your goal is to grow your hair shape ups can be addictive and you still have to go through the awkward stage.
I know it is a frustrating time. My hair looks crazy at times but I try to make my make up look fierce and keep it going and people still compliment my style I think I can be hard on myself. I grew my hair out very short in the 90s when I had no idea about washing my hair on the regular and leave ins my hair always looked locked but it was cool because skin was clear and I didn't care what people thought and I remember within two years my hair was APL then I messed it up with a texturiser (NEVER AGAIN). It is a phase that won't last if you retain your inches by keeping your moisture regiment going.

At least my hair will be stretched to try a dry WNG tonight but still. Ugh.
. I'm going to leave my hair alone though until I reach SL, because my hair's just too short right now to make the straightening process worth it. I think I'm going to go into braids cause I need some length in my life!!
It's an old wng. 
. How long was your hair when you bc'd? BC to a fade and the TWA stage will last for a minute. BC down to 5 inches and you'll be out and off to medium size fro land in no time.
! The new year will be right around the corner, and we'll all be jumping on new challenges
