Protective styling is one of the many ways to contribute to the overall health of your hair. On a side note, make sure your protective styles are not too tight.

You also want to look good and feel confident in whatever protective style you choose. So pick one that is more your style and you can stick to it more frequently.

What is Protective hairstyling?

Protective hair styling tucks away your curls and protects your curls against any type of environmental stress or manipulation. Think buns, cornrows, wigs, twist. and box braids. I do see the fun and potential of wearing wigs. If you like to get dolled up and look super nice without doing your hair this has to be a good option. If you’re like me sometimes you hate redundancy so switch it up. To each their own. Depending on your personal style there are a ton of protective hairstyles out there for everyone. I do wear box braids maybe once a year because it’s not really my style. I did not enjoy taking them down. It took me hours to take them down. Plus I have a lot of hair so you know how that is. I did enjoy waking up and not combing my hair for weeks on in. My preferred protective styles include; High buns low buns, side buns. I have fun with it too even put twisting the front sometimes. This works because it only takes me five minutes and I’m out the door. This is my daily look because I don’t believe and wearing my curls down on a daily basis. Protective styles have been a huge part of my life and I feel when I choose to wear my hair down my curls look good. So enough about me, I’m sure you’ll find a protective Style and see what I mean about your curls looking good when you choose to wear your hair down.

Why protective Styling is important to curly hair?

Your curls are precious and extremely delicate. Protective styling will protect your curls and help with slow growth, breakage, dryness and frizzy/dull curls. How often you do it is strictly up to you. I do not recommend wearing your curls down on a daily basis. When you wear your curls down on a daily basis you may experience dry and frizzy curls. If your curl pattern starts acting up and you start to feel like your hair is dry challenge yourself to try a protective style and you will see the difference. If your hair is dry or frizzy try a light leave in conditioner and the protective style of your choice for a week or two before letting your hair down.
