Protective Styling

[ad#ad1]

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.  Protective styling protects against split ends and helps retain length.  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.

Beware of your scarfs and sweater.  Sometimes you notice a pull and then a small pop which is the sound of strands of your hair snagging and breaking into my scarf or sweater. This is a very common thing in which protective styling can help prevent. It’s not just scarves its knitted surfaces such as shirts or even some chairs.
