Protective Styles
May 29 ,2012
Protective styling is commonly practiced among natural girls, but those who wear relaxers can practice this hair care tip as well! Examples of protective styles are twists, Bantu knots, braids, buns, full sew-ins, chignons—any style that doesn’t require the hair to be loose, especially the ends. This is done to retain moisture and keep the ends from splitting. In addition, they’re also very convenient and time sparing. This type of styling is very common among those with tighter curl patterns. Kinky or tightly curled or coiled hair is more prone to breakage when it is constantly combed, brushed and styled. Protective styling eliminates this by allowing women to reduce how often they have to handle or manipulate their hair, in turn, helping it to grow. Zest up your protective styles with hair accessories.
