1. Make sure the completed style requires very little manipulation. Manipulation, such as combing, detangling, and re-styling, can lead to breakage, damage, and loss of hair. Natural hair is quite versatile; however, changing hairstyles frequently requires a lot of manipulation. Most natural hair protective styles will use flat twists, buns, or braids to make sure the hairstyle will last several days.2.Fun Natural Hair Protective Styles

2. Make sure the hair is fully moisturized before styling. Due to the fact that your hair will be in a single style for several days, it should be fully moisturized and conditioned in advance. Before styling the hair, make sure to include hot oil, deep conditioning, or even a steam treatment. You can even add oils to any parts you may have to make sure your scalp is moisturized as well. Colder air is often dryer air; moisture is even more important in the colder months.3.Protective Styles

3. Make sure your ends are protected. The ends of the hair are the oldest most fragile parts of the hair. Natural hair protective styles ensure that the ends of the hair are protected from harsh winter elements. Longer hair can do this making sure the ends of the hair in buns or twists are artfully tucked under to provide protection. If your hair is short or medium length, consider using pin curls or pompadours with bobby pins to make sure the ends of your hair covered. Protecting the hair during the day is very important; however, so is protecting the hair at night. The hair must be covered with a smooth satin scarf while sleeping to avoid contact with cotton pillowcases and sheets.4.Glamorous Natural Hair Protective Styles

4. Don’t be afraid to add hair. Full coverage sew-ins, braids, twists, and other styles that use extensions are great options for natural hair protective styles. This is also a perfect time to experiment with different hair colors or even change things up with a straight style. Take caution that the style is not too tight that it causes damage to your hair or scalp. Styles that include extensions often last for several weeks. Make sure to keep your hair clean and moisturized!5.Natural Hair Protective Styles
