Length Retention Without Protective Styling

By

 Is it possible to grow long and healthy hair without protective styling ?



The answer lies in the definition of protective styles. A lot of times, we overlook certain basic styles as just mere hair styles without being aware of their value as protective style.

 A lot of ladies wear turbans and scarfs and these are actually protecting your hair. Have you wondered why our Muslim sisters seem to rwtian so much length? Now you know.

In addition, the buns you wear daily is an easy form of protective style that's also effective. It may seems like it's a simpler and quick style but you are doing your hair a huge favour too. 

Do you wear wigs and therefore cornrow your hair for that? You are protective styling without being conscious of it. Once there is no to little manipulation, your hair will thrive.

Lastly, do you wear your hair  in twists? Do you wear twist outs? These styles require less manipulation thereby can help with length retention.

The soap costs between 10-20gh depending on the retail shop. I used it twice a day as directed.  You leave it on your skin for 3 minutes before washing off.
