7 EASY AND BEST PROTECTIVE STYLES FOR HAIR GROWTH

Box braids

When it comes to hair development or hair care recommendations, we've all heard about protective styles, but do we really understand what they are or how to apply them?


Any haircut that keeps your ends tucked away to protect your hair and limit damage is referred to as a protective style. They shield natural hair against breakage caused by treatment as well as adverse climatic conditions such as freezing temperatures in the winter.
Protective hairstyles are a popular and efficient approach to promote hair growth, protect it from damage, and keep it hydrated. They are also protective styles that are also enjoyable to wear and need little upkeep, saving time.
Examples of protective hairstyles:

CORN ROWS:

Cornrows are a type of hair braiding in which the hair is braided in vertically sectioned rows flat to the scalp. They're really popular and adaptable, and they can be done on any hair length or texture.

BANTU KNOTS

Bantu knots are created by sectioning your hair and winding it from root to end around itself, then forming the twist into a bun and securing it in place. After some time has passed, the curls that have formed can be worn as a style.

BOX BRAIDS

This is a very popular form of protection. Extensions are used to accomplish this. They're made by sectioning the hair into interesting shapes and braiding it together. This look works well in a variety of lengths, sizes, and colors. This style can last up to 8 weeks if properly cared for. Knotless box braids are becoming increasingly popular, and they employ a feed-in braid technique rather than a knot at the root, as with traditional box braids. This reduces the amount of strain on the scalp, lowering the chance of hair breakage.

CROCHET BRAIDS

Extensions are also utilized in this look, however they are applied with a crochet needle to previously cornrowed hair. These protective braids are easy to put on and maintain, making them one of the most popular protective styles. Crochet twist out, crochet Senegalese twists, crochet box braids, and faux locs are just a few of the many styles that may be worn as crochet braids.

 

FAUX LOCS

Braid your natural hair or create box braids, then wrap hair extensions around each braid to obtain this look. Faux locs can also be achieved with the crochet method, which involves connecting ready made locs to your cornrows just like it was explained above. Although the crochet approach is faster, the first way of creating faux locs will give you a more genuine appearance.

WIGS

Wigs are a terrific protective style that requires little maintenance and offers a lot of adaptability. They come in a variety of colors, styles, and textures, and they're a fun way to change up your look on a regular basis while keeping protecting the hair underneath, which is usually arranged in a corn row. They can be made from both synthetic fiber or human hair bundles.

FLAT TWIST

This hairstyle is ideal for preserving moisture and texture. Twists are not only a amazing protective style that stimulates hair growth, but they're also very cute to wear on their own or as a "twist out" after you've pulled them out. To achieve this, separate a segment of hair into two parts, stretch the hair out, and twist it from the root to the ends. To seal the twists, twist the ends into a curl using your finger.
