Contents

If you are on a hair growth journey one of the most consistent themes you will hear is that you must do protective styles in order to see real growth success with your hair.

These days most of us understand this concept completely and at least once or twice per year we go on the hunt for that one style that will give us a break from our hair and that will up our style that much more.

Protective styles are pretty much a part of most of our daily lives and collectively as an industry, we have developed countless different styles that we can choose from when that time comes. In this post, we wanted to give you the ultimate protective style guide, something you can always refer to when you are a bit confused about what to go with.

Before we give you the ultimate protective style list though, here are a some best practices you should know when doing protective styles.

Best Practices

Make sure you do a protein treatment

Always strengthen your hair before you install your style and after you take down your style just to give your hair the strength it needs to avoid stress as well as reverse any weakness it may have endured while in the style.

You might be wondering why your hair would be weak after you have locked it away and the answer is your hair strand is still just a fiber. While it is being protected especially in styles that wrap the length of your hair you can put some stress on your hair. The protein treatment will ensure that you give your hair just what it needs before and after your long term style. (This might not apply to every single protective style, but it is applicable to most)

Leave the style in for 8 weeks…
