What Is The Best Protective Style For Your Hair?

There is so much hype about protective styling as well as misconceptions about it. 

We have unique genetic make up, texture, strands, density and live in different environment. What will work for me might not work for you. However, there is one particular style that works so well for both natural and relaxed hair. I've seen a lot of YouTubers and bloggers who hardly use extensions yet are able to retain length.

Today's post is dedicated to hair buns! I always advise those beginning their hair journey to fall on this protective style for many reasons

*Access to your hair and scalp daily
*Moisturizing is easier
*Less damage to edges
*Ability to practice and use different techniques.
*Cost effective
*Requires less time and effort


Another observation is those who use extensions are mainly those who've mastered their routines and know the CORRECT way to use these extensions, especially wigs! Therefore, if you've just started your hair journey, go easy on extensions!

When you wear buns, it allows you to also play around with your wash day. You are able to use a variety of products and techniques since you have access to your hair and scalp.

Lastly, buns still keep your ends protected hence you still retain so much length!

Give buns a try!

Placenta In Your Hair

Placenta or the popular brand, Placentyne leave in treatment has been with us for ages!  Keratin, which hair is made of, is a strong protein that can break down with sun exposure, wind, pollutants, daily maintenance, manipulation, heat tools, and chemical treatments like permanent color. This is where using protein treatments come in to help temporarily repair the hair strands. Protein treatments are used to add strength and resiliency to damaged hair by attaching hydrolyzed proteins directly to the hair follicle and hardening the cuticle layer.

Washing Your Hair In Harmattan

With this year's harmattan being so severe, protective styling is definitely a must. Unfortunately, I can't wear any styles yet with this short hair do what can i do? Right from the wash day, my attention has been on preventing moisture loss. This means from the shampoo process to the sealing process, each step involves maximizing moisture. I probably shampoo once every 2 weeks but I water rinse very often. This keeps the moisture levels up as well as keeping the hair less dirty.  I do well to sprit z the hair each morning before anything is done. With the new growth so thick, getting the hair damp is very crucial for moisture retention. I love length but moisture retention during this time of year is the key to a healthy hair. Another form of moisture retention technique I employ is ensuring that the deep conditioners and conditioners I use are moisture based. The Sheamoisture manuka honey conditioner is amazing at this and I really love.  The next thing I want to invest in i...
