Protective Styling for Winter

Well, well, well after enjoying so many wash n go's its time to start protective styling for the cold, harsh winter weather.  So here comes the braids, twists, bun, updo's, wigs, weaves and such.

You may ask "Why protective style in winter?"  As we all know cold weather is rather harsh on our fragile ends.  If the ends are always tucked away there is little chance that they will dry out.  If the ends are tucked away safely there's a better chance of retaining that length that we so desperately want. 

A lot of new natural ladies are concerned about protective styling a TWA.  How do you protective style a TWA?  Well one way to protective style a TWA is to do finger/comb coils or 2 strand twists.


Finger Coils

 This style was done using Eco Styler Gel and it lasted about a week.  It's easy to do and took about 3 hours.  After a week I wet it to rinse out the gel (I didn't have to undo coils) shampooed and conditioned my hair and re-did the coils for the next week.

Believe it or not protective styling helps you to retain length.  When your hair is in a resting state and is not manipulated daily there's little chance that the ends will "pop off". 

If you have any questions, please ask.
