Benefits To Protective Styles
Protective styles are very important, they give great benefits. They can also be bad for your hair if you aren't taking proper care. Here are my 3 proper ways to maintaining healthy hair in a protective style.
Prep
The way your hair is prepped before styling is very important. That consists of freshly washed hair, nice moisturizing products, then styled.
Styled
After your hair is styled, your scalp should already be oiled before you leave the salon, so you won't have to oil it for a couple days. I recommend you should oil your scalp every 3-5 days.
Takedown
Your "Takedown" is just as important as your "Prep" and "Styled" making sure your not rushing and ripping out your hair. I recommend letting your hair breath at least 1-2 weeks before getting another protective style.
