Protective hairstyles can play a big role in helping you retain the length of your hair, by "protecting" your fragile ends. With the winter weather starting to really set in, protective styling has become a necessity for me in order to achieve my healthy hair goals.
What is a protective hairstyle?
Typically, a protective hairstyle is any hairstyle that leaves your ends unexposed. Hairstyles like: buns, braids, twists, and pretty much anything else that requires your ends to be tucked away.
What can protective styling do for me?
Protective styling not only helps you to retain the length of your hair, it assists in the health of the ends of your hair as well. When your ends are exposed to the elements, they can quickly become damaged. The damage can come from exposure to heat, cold, wind, or even from brushing against clothing.
How often should I use protective styling?
If the ends of your hair are fragile like mine, I would suggest wearing protective styling as often as possible. I wear my hair down once a week and even then, it's in the semi-protective style of a twist out. Because I'm in the process of growing my hair long, I'm not interested in wearing my hair down. When my hair gets a lot longer than what it is now, I may start wearing it out a bit more. If your ends aren't so fragile, you may want to try protective styling once or twice a week just to help prevent your end from becoming weak or brittle due to daily styling.
Here are a few protective styles that I enjoy wearing:
