Do's and Don'ts of Protective Styling
The weather is indeed getting warmer, especially for you ladies in the south ( so jealous), but that doesn't mean that you should stop protecting you delicate strands. Here are some tips:
Do:
- Wear cute beanie's and hats ( check out Forever 21, H&M)
- Twist your hair for the week and wear a twist out for the weekend
- Pull your twists into a bun or pony tail
- Pin twists or braids into a style of your choice
- Wear hair out occasionally
- Moisturize twists/braids daily by applying a light cream or oil and/or water
- Make sure ends are protected and or tucked in
- Try to keep ends of your hair from rubbing against your collar or clothing ( I've been experiencing some breakage because of this)
- Co-Wash hair with twists in and and re-twist if necessary for a polished look ( this keeps breakage to a minimum)
- Detangle in the shower or when hair is wet/damp
Don't:
- Overuse products ( keep it simple!)
- Use gel
- Wear hair out every day
- Comb or brush daily
- Overuse heat
