As the weather gets cooler and dryer, protective hairstyles can help to give you hair a bit of a break, keep your hair moisturized, healthy, and protected from the harsh weather. On the other hand, it can also have negative side effects on your hair if not done right! Here are some tips to help you out: ✨ Don’t braid up to your edges, give them a breather by opting to style them using a gel such as our Coconut & Hibiscus Curling Gel Soufflé (use a satin scarf to keep them nice and laid!) ✨Generously moisturize your hair with a water-based leave-in conditioner like our Sugarcane Extract & Meadowfoam Seed Silicone Free Miracle Styler Leave-in Treatment to avoid product buildup and scalp blockage. ✨The longer you keep your protective style in doesn’t mean the longer your hair will grow. If your hair isn’t properly washed and conditioned, it may matte. Rule of thumb, wear your protective style for no longer than 6-8 weeks.
