Hi everyone
Today would just like to give advise on the type of protective hairstyles you can do this winter.
Protective styling is a very important aspect of a hair regimen. It is one of the best ways to minimise breakage because it protects the ends of hair which is where a lot of damage occurs.
A protective style is a hair style that protects hair ends from everyday exposure to the sun, wind etc. A protective style should not require heat or too much combing or pulling. It should keep hair ends/tips off the shoulders. This basically means that the ends of the hair, which are the oldest and weakest parts of our hair, should be tucked away or hidden to prevent it from getting dry by exposure to the sun and wind, or from getting damaged from rubbing on your shoulders.
I try and do my own styles to avoid any pulling . Its nothing fancy, i normally use yarn in a form of braids, or bantu knotts or even basic plaits.
Here are some of the protective styles you can try
Some examples of protective styles are:
1) Buns
This is one of the most popular protective styles. It is popular with ladies on a hair journey because it is very easy to create and effectively protects the ends of the hair.
To avoid causing damage when wearing a bun don’t pack your hair too tightly and don’t pack it in the same spot every time as this will create too much tension on that spot.
2) Up-dos
Aside from buns there are many updo hairstyles which can be protective and stylish.
The aim is to create the style with minimal brushing and combing. The style should keep the ends of the hair hidden and the length of the hair should be kept off your shoulders.
The style should be easy to preserve so that it does not need to be redone every day. It can simply be tidied in the mornings and redone after 2/3 days
