WHAT ARE PROTECTIVE STYLES, IMPORTANCE & DO'S AND DON'T.

I. grew my hair over the years using protective styles and today, I can proudly and gladly say that my hair is where it is because of protective styling.

But what are protective styles?
Don't forget my dear, any style that keeps the ends of the hair tucked away and minimises manipulation is a very good example of what protective styles looks like. When we wear our hair in provocative styles, it is less prone to knotting and snagging on clothing or accessories. Our roots and hairline benefit from protective styles as we change where the places of tension are on our scalp.
Protective styles can be inform of braids, cornrows, weaving, Bantu knots. e.t.c.
