Protective Styles

Protective hairstyles are a category of styling techniques that safeguard natural hair from environmental stressors and manipulation, promoting growth and maintaining overall health. These styles serve as a shield, minimizing damage and maximizing the potential for healthy hair.

 

Types of Protective Hairstyles:

Box Braids: Intricately styled braids that provide versatility and protect your natural strands.

 

Twists (Senegalese, Havana, Marley): Twisting natural hair into various textures to create a protective barrier.

 

Faux Locs: Mimicking the appearance of traditional locs without the commitment, offering a stylish and protective option.

 

Wigs and Weaves: Temporary solutions that allow you to switch up your look while preserving your natural hair.

 

Caring for Protective Styles:

 

Hydration Ritual: Ensure your hair stays moisturized regularly 

 

Nighttime Protection: Cover your hair at night with a satin or silk scarf to minimize your style.
