Protective Styling is a great way to protect your natural hair in the winter months. Its easy and helps you to save time.
Protective Styling
There are many ways to define protective styling and just as many methods. This process is not exclusive to naturalistas or the relaxed, it promotes and maintains the overall health of your hair. In practicing this styling method you ultimately will protect the hair from external factors that result in damage and breakage. Damage can a result of the elements (wind, sun, and/or snow) or chemical alterations such as chemical straighters, texturizers or color. Or one thing that many of us do not think about is the scarves or turtlenecks we're wearing causing breakage.
I'm a trendy person so I have a couple of scarves. Sometimes I notice a pull and then a small pop which is the sound of strands of my hair snagging and breaking into my scarf. This is a very common thing in which protective styling prevents. It's not just scarves its knitted surfaces such as shirts or even some chairs.
What styles are protective?
Any style that prevents the snag and breakage of the hair can be considered a protective style. I will name a few styles but I don't want you to feel limited to this short list.
Protective Styles
What are the benefits of protective styling.
These styles allow your hair to rest from combing daily while also retaining moisture. But just because you are protective styling does not mean you can neglect your hair and scalp with expectations of obtaining or maintaining health hair. You must still wash and moisturizer. I recommend moisturizing with your favorite moisturizer (I recommend moisturizers that are shea butter base such as SheAloe) prior to styling and use a daily moisturizing sprintz to further protect and nourish the hair/scalp.
(Don't neglect the basic needs of your head.) It is equally important to cover your hair while you sleep to maintain the style and avoid friction that can break your hair while you sleep.
