The question usually is: "What is protective Styling"
Wearing your hair in a protective style requires that the ends which are the oldest and most fragile part of your hair are tucked away and sealed with a moisturiser.
One of the main goals of protective styling is to protect your ends. Protecting your ends from the elements and friction or contact from your clothing helps you to retain length
Protective styles don't make your hair grow, but they do make it possible to prevent breakage since your hair may be breaking off faster than it grows. What protective styles do is keep your ends "protected." Try any of these protective styles and see if you experience more hair retention. Just make sure, no matter which way you wear your hair, that your ends are put away
Popular protective styles include but are not limited to braids, twists, bantu knots, and shrunken afros.
If your hair is short (after your big chop), here are some ideas:
Long Comb Coils |
Short Comb Coils |
Bantu Knots |
Curly Braids |
Two stand twists |
