    I do "low manipulation protective styles" where I loosely twist and tuck my ends under in a low, tension-free bun at the base of my neck. I still have to tidy it up every day, but it is a serious time saver! I spritz and re-moisturize every 2 days. I wash and deep-condition weekly. Since doing this (after watching your other video on protective styling), I've noticed significantly less breakage! Also, it gives me an opportunity to "baby" my crown area which tends to get drier and is more brittle (I think menopause has affected this). I still rock a wash 'n go occasionally. I share your videos with all my natural family & friends! They are so informative!

    My hair is 95% of the time in a 2strand twist and put away until it's time for a big event. I experience an average 3/4" of growth a month and oil/massage every single day. I started my natural hair journey after my friends and my hair is now longer than theirs. Keep your hands out of your hair, wash on the same day of every week, massage/oil daily and celebrate wearing beanies and headwraps. From rocking a fade for 20 years, to now having hair just above my bra strap in 16 months.

    Long term protective styles ruin my hair especially if they involve added hair. I have found that low maintenance, short term, 3-5 days max works best for me. I put my hair in 7-15 sections depending on the type of braid or twist (15 sm/med French braids 13 individual braids, 9 chunky twists, When I do more flat braids I can moisturize my scalp and use light cream or oil to seep through the braids. If I do fewer chunky twist I can gently take them down every other day, massage my scalp with oil, and moisturize my hair. No matter what I always bunch the ends together and wrap them in a silk band then pin them up. These are all techniques I mixed and matched from Green Beauty advice.

I'm so sad n/c my braiding rule is NEVER put more extension hair in the braid than the clients actual hair in their head. . The braids were beautiful and uniform don't get me wrong but when you are a hairstylist or having paying customers come to you you need to know HAIR e to no hair, not just money but hair. You have to know how yo keep the hair healthy while braided & do your part in that as at braider.

    Short marley twists have been the best for my hair! Easy to keep hydrated and doesn't pull on my strands. It also easy to wash and keep my hair out the way since I do a lot of high intensity work outs.

    I think protective styles especially mini twists have helped my hair immensely. It takes the guessing game out of what you're gonna do on wash day. But I am having issues with tension lately since I tend to twist tightly so I'm gonna try and ease the tension next wash day.

    OMG I absolutely love your channel. I purchased the protein treatment and used it for the first time and am in love!! My hair was so soft. I plan on doing weekly for about 6 weeks then just twice a month so I can make sure I'm balancing it properly. I am so serious about protective hairstyles. I used to wear braids a lot and my hair is long but I couldnt retain moisture once I got serious about growing it to tailbone. I keep researching and found your channel. Currently, I have 6 jumbo box braids with added hair that I plan to wear for 1 week. I was driving to work and talking to myself about using rubberbands and making too tight so I have to watch that cause I do love a more polished look but my edges have suffered and I want them to grow back. I literally sit and think about what protective hairstyle can I do so my hair is breathing and still pretty. thanks for the videos and tips!!

      Everyone’s consistent looks different. For example, you can do a quick wash day once a week. Or you can do a wash day once a month and re-moisturize once a week. Build a simple regimen that you know you can keep up with.

      @@cspann33 one reason your hair might be locing is if they aren't tight and firm enough. It shouldn't be too tight but it should still be firm. Another reason might be pouring water on it everyday.

      If that's the case, you need to create a moisturizing routine that wouldn't require you to moisturize for at least a week. Don't take the relaxer just yet, research has it that it might be carcinogenic. Remember Jesus loves you and your hair's beautiful

    thank you for this! mini/medium twists as a protective style have helped my hair flourish so much over the years. I’ll usually keep them in for 1-3 weeks and rock the twist out for up to a week. this year I started throwing professional trims into the mix and my hair has never been healthier. now, let me go buy some coconut water 😭

    I wear my hair in a protective style but after a week the end of the braid always tangles & knots 🪢 ending up cutting it and/or pulling long strands of hair out to remove the knots. Now I know why and will begin moisturizing the braid taking especially good care of the end. Thank you 💕

    Thanks for this post. I loc my hair 2 years ago for length retention and got it retwist way too tight which caused my hair to fall out and it left me with bald spots. I had to take down my locs. Lesson learnt be careful who allow to style your hair and don't be scared to get out the chair if your hair is being done too tightly.

    This is great information. I don't think many people with less curly hair think about this enough. I don't know how a protective styles are done on slippery hair since I'd have to do it tightly to make it stay all day but if I put some moisturizing products on and loosely tie it up under a bonnet overnight that works to keep my hair moisturized. I love the temporary protective style you showed at the start. So pretty.

    Love your take on on this much, thank you!! As protective styles are always considered the HG and must do I did as well- with meh results for the longest time. It only got better when I adapted them a lot to my type of hair (fine, thin, too much oil hating, moisture craving, highly shrinking hair). For me that means a high bun with sealed/ carefully tucked or sealed ends and absolutely no edge laying most of the time. They are to my waist now, but thin so I mostly focus on volume (scalp massages and scalp care is mandatory for me. This begins to show, my dentist slowly increases. In general my hair thrives under the less is more treatment. Next goal: greying healthy and in style. I would love your thoughts on tat topic as well. I did henna but so want to embrace my grey now. Thank you in advance, Love and Blessings!

    Protective styles have been my holy grail along with low manipulation however I have also been going through some personal issues and the one thing to suffer has been my hair. In a fit of frustration last week as I was undoing my protective style (which had severely dried out) I started yanking the strands out and knotted clumps came out. All I needed to do was sprite my coconut water on my hair and slow down but frustration caused me to hurt myself. The other suggestion I would offer to this video is switch up your parts. Center, side, zig zag and even just comb through into a loose 2 strand braid with no part can be a life saver. The part about tension is so true. The only part of your hair that is "alive" is the part at the follicle. If you kill that then you will see bald patches and in some instances you won't recover so if your are doing your own hair don't pull and don't let ANY stylist pull too tight.

    Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge with us. Be well
    I believe that I have been protective styling before knowing what it was. This allows me to save a lot of time, keep my hair moisturize longer, keep my hands off my hair and my hair out of the way🙂
    My hair is the happiest when left alone. I find that if I am misting, moisturizing here and there during the week, I see more shedding and breakage the next wash day. So I do not touch it
    Typically, I wash my hair, add moisture, braid or cornrow it and make a loose Bantu knot style bun with the ends avoiding putting tension on the edges.
    A week later I wash my scalp to remove sweat rinse and re-moisturize my scalp and hair. At the end of the 2nd week I pre-poo, wash, deep conditioned with steam, rinse, style and REPEAT 😀
    I keep it stretched, lubricated and moisturized.

    Protective styles have helped my progress, but so has just... realizing the moisture thing and taking it very seriously. I have a spray bottle with water, aloe juice, a bit of tea tree, just a drop of cinnamon oil, mint and blueberry hair growth mix, and a rosewater + glycerin toner in it. I spray that on my hair and scalp twice daily to keep from drying out, and I don't experience dandruff much at all anymore (unless I forget for a couple days). That and making sure I drink plenty of water have had a great impact on my skin and hair over the past few years. Also I smell like a snacccc and that's fun. :)
    I felt sympathetic pain for 5:04, woooof. I do all my own protective styles specifically to avoid tension alopecia. No matter how many times I'd tell braiders to do looser braids, they'd always try to pull super tight, and snatch my edges. Nope nope nope. DIY has been way less stressful, and less painful.
