Protective styles for natural hair are styles that can help you transition from chemically processed hair to natural hair. They do not require direct heat and can reduce breakage during your transition period. They are often manipulative and easy to do.
Why should I wear protective styles?
You can use protective styles for the following reasons;
To protect physical disturbances involved in daily styling, combing and coil alterations such as twist, braids and the likes.
Chemical alterations involving heat and colour treatments.
Protective styles put the hair to rest. Depending on the style you choose, you can actually retain more length when hair is in protective state.
When should you do protective styling?
When you feel your hair hasn't gained significant length over the course of few month.
For people with busy schedules.
During extreme weather.
When travelling and unable to pack up your home saloon.
Where to do your protective styles?
Do it by your self in your home or have an educated stylist on natural hair to do it for you.
Protective styles can also be done by people with relaxed hair. The whole aim is keeping your hair to rest for some time. Remember to keep it moisturised by using water and oil sealants. Don't forget to drink plenty of water too.
