Not all “protective styles” actually protect your hair. Some styles can cause:

• Breakage

• Tension

• Dryness

Let’s talk about styles that actually protect your curls.

What Makes a Style Protective?

A true protective style:
✔ Reduces manipulation
✔ Locks in moisture
 ✔ Avoids tension on your scalp

✨ Keep it loose to avoid tension and use a soft scrunchie.

2. Loose Braids

Great for low maintenance days.

✨ Just make sure your hair is moisturized before styling.
