- Hey guys,
Are we really protecting our hair in our quest to protective style?
I don't really think this is always the true intention or the proper way to protective style. Lets discuss.

This!!!!! So many people ask me about braids and this is such an important point. If you're just putting them in so you can ignore your hair, it makes no sense.
Naturally High my Mende cousin!!! Lol
Why are some people talking about her policing how we wear our hair. This is a hair channel.
What else is she supposed to talk about, kittens? 😂
Ashley Perry :3 ,🤣
Ashley Perry :3 🤣🤣😅😂
She’s just telling the truth.
It's funny cause I used to wear wigs all the time but as soon as I learned how to wear my hair out without breaking it, my obsession with wigs disappeared. I wear wash and gos mostly and I'm retaining length now more than ever.
gigglyfitzgirl I feel like this will be me when I learn how to fight the humidity and get my styles to last longer
BeautifulWhispers Just don't give up! I'm almost 6 years into my natural hair journey and only just really started getting the hang of it 6 months ago! And I'm still learning...💕
SAME!!
I have 4c hair and I live in hot Florida. Any style turns to something else lol. If I do braids they last long but my hair grows fast. So I know if I do a style it will last a day or two depending the style.
Same here! I only wash n go now. I wore wigs 3 years into my natural hair journey. I haven't worn a wig now in months. I am learning to embrace my hair and learn more about styling it. I retained a lot of length under my wigs, but my hair is flourishing without it as far as moisture retention goes.
I laughed when you said people wear wigs for 7 years and they hair going the other way (not growing but breaking). That is so true but people don't want to speak on it. Some women are not protective styling wearing wigs, they are just HIDING their hair! I wear two braids under my wigs religiously but I went from a TWA to almost APL my first year natural so I consider it as a protective style for me. I wash and DC my hair every week. The key is not neglecting your hair with wigs.
Exactly my point. Awesome.
Julissa Brown i quit wigs after wig caps kept breaking my hair line
Wazakauye Zulu I wear my satin bonnet under my wigs. I stopped wearing wig caps. They also make protective bands for your edges to create a barrier between your edges and the wig.
@Angel Agbettor it's all based on your hair type on how often you can wash your hair. Everyone is different. I have to wash mine every 2-3 weeks because my scalp gets irritable.
Right! I grew mine from a fade to about 3 inches or so above waist length in 3.6 years wearing mostly wigs. Just as you said you have to take care of it under those wigs.
That's the main reason I protective style. I tend to play in mi hair too much cause I like the way it feels lol.
Lol me too
Omg yesss! It feels soooo good 😍
The shade lmao you really had time today!😂 I totally agree with you. Some have been natural ' their whole life' but I never see them with their own hair outside of their homes🙄
neema carel fkn weakkkk
Where’s the shade??? This video was BLUNT and direct hunty! 😆
Malditanseantia I have friends I never see their hair once . Smho
I just think ppl make natural hair overly complicated. just make sure your hair is clean and mosturized and after that do what you want. I hardly protective style and flatiron my hair all the time and I have hair in the middle of my back. JUST TAKE CARE OF IT LADIES.
I wear my hair out every day and it’s mid back length. All I do is wet my hair put conditioner in it and do two braids at night. When I wake up I take out the two braids and go to school. Easy and simple
I feel like I protect and care for my hair best when it is not hidden or in a long-term style. When my hair is put away I don't notice it. When it is loose I am forced to access it daily and determine what it needs whether that is conditioning or moisture. Since I have taken a break from wearing braids with extensions I notice I wash, conditioner, moisturize my hair way more often.
Facts! 💯 I used to wear weaves all the time and thinking I was protecting my hair but I was causing more damage because I didn’t care for my hair properly under the weaves!
You are so right sis! Protective styling without taking care of the natural hair is not really protecting anything. I like this kind of video..xoxo
Lmao😂😂 girl you finna piss some people off with this one! So so true though.
I was really hoping to get some people to be more open minded about taking better care of their hair while protective styling. But I agree that some will miss that point. Oh brother...
myisha swearengin She Has Her Big Girl Panties On!
I put braid in my hair 4 days ago. I normally take great care of my natural hair why protective styling, but sometimes I go to long without moisturizing it. So I took a timeout from watching this video to go add some goodies in it, now I’m back. 😂 Great video.
Lol I love that.
My thoughts exactly! Educate the people! "Protective Styles" is what got some Naturals with damage hair/or scalp because the hair was intentionally neglected within the hairstyle, like Whoa! If your scalp is dry, itching and burning - you rather rock that style than see about your health!? Tell Em'!
Yep
I'm in agreement with the points you made. We are all free to choose how we handle our hair and style it. However when someone who complaints that they have been "protective styling" for years but their hair hasn't appeared to have grown for many years and they ask for advice, this is what they are going to hear. Some will be fine with their current length of hair and their chosen practices. In that case just call it what it is, a styling choice and leave the word "protective" out of it.
also, everybody and their momma doing these videos about " taking out my 6-month-old braids" like how sis? just how do you keep your hair braided for months on end and have a healthy scalp. somebody enlighten me. we are also the only race of people who "protective style" is low manipulation not enough?
miniimufin Exactly 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 We dont need protective styling, and I hate that term tbh because we dont need to PROTECT our hair, we just need to manipulate it less. African/black hair is protection in and of itself. Our hair and skin were made as protection from the sun. No other race has that, so it is really backwards thinking to protective style black hair 😂😂 Just dont comb it or style every day, even non-black women try to limit manipulation with less shampooing or straightening. Low manipulation is better than protective styling imo. The only time i see usefulness in protective styling is when you are swimming. In that case, yeah all hair needs protection from chlorine or salt water. Other than that, its kinda useless.
miniimufin yea exactly...keeping any style in for that long is some nasty mess.. then they are suprised when they see plugs of matted hair hit the ground. If you wouldnt go that long and not wash or care for the rest of your body then why do folks think their hair can take a 2-6month sabbatical in a style? smh
sdddf ghhh Unless you are extremely sick or have experienced stress or extreme trauma, hair generally grows no matter what 🤷🏾♀️ so yea you can leave braids in forever and have your hair grow but sorry, there is no hair type on this earth that NEEDS to be left alone that long to grow 🤷🏾♀️
miniimufin lol
miniimufin but some of You naturals wash your hair once a month or only cowash. I guess different strokes for different folks.
Preach!!! I had to learn the hard way. After 7/8 years of mostly wearing box braids and twists and being stuck at shoulder length I realized it was because I truly didn’t understand how to moisturize my hair. Pair that with my hair being ripped/damaged during the style process and then after I’d take it out all the length I gained just chipped away. This was an ongoing cycle.
Finally this year I decided to stop the braids and buns and gave myself a trim for a fresh start. I’m getting comfortable with wearing my hair out and embracing it at the length it is. No more over stretching it in super tight puffs and buns just to “look cute”.
I’m learning my hairs moisture levels, knowing that it needs to be submerged in water throughout the week and styled in the shower with product to lock in moisture to my low porosity hair. I’m excited about my journey this time around 😊.
New subscriber here! I agree with this entire video. I think the reason why wig/weave wearers use this excuse is because they don’t want to be called out for not liking their hair, or believing that they look better with the wigs/weaves. You never see their hair at all. Good video!
Dianne Saint That is far from the truth. I wear wigs and I love my hair I just get tired of doing it all of the time. Speak for yourself.
True. But that's for a lot of people.
Tricey Bear exactly! Me wearing my wig or braids every so often is not affecting no one else so I don't get why people care so much
Tricey Bear Why get so defense when she wasn’t talking to you directly? Clearly she’s talking about those “naturals” who never embrace their own hair or even show it.
Tricky Bear, this was my opinion, that’s why I said “I think”. If you disagree then so be it. I have heard people say they think they look better in wigs/weaves and this is why they wear them all the time. So yes, I am speaking for myself based on conversations I have had. Thanks.
What you are saying makes sense. All these terms are annoying. But just beware, people will twist your words for the sake of being right in their own mind. But yes a style is a style is a style.
I was thinking about that too. Oh boy 😘
It comes with the territory. People interpret how they will. You haven't said anything that most of us weren't already thinking. Keep bringing the content.
So going 20 years back or so there was a model named wanakee who I think coined this term. Protective styling meant taking care of your ends from the air and from rubbing against clothing like cotton, wool etc. So, you would take your hair down daily to moisturize and oil your hair and ends then tuck your ends away for the day in a bun. Repeat as necessary during the week til wash day. This was recommended to keep the ends moist and supple so the ends never dry out, split and crack. It was not putting your hair up for a week then taking it down.
I think in todays interpretation, most people don't think of protective styling as daily take down. It has been interpreted as giving your hair a break from manipulation for a while without daily take down to moisturize.
I totally agree with this video. Protective style is just an excuse for most to hide the shame that they hate their hair. What exactly are they protecting their hair from? Unless you are in entertainment wherein your hair is being manipulated daily there is no need for protective styling. Call a spade a spade. Finally someone did a video calling it.
My hair has grown so long. My friends that grew up with me were even shock but when I tell them what I do to take care of my hair they say they don't have time for it. I have seen them snatch their hair and edges and then slap another hair style and weave but never took care of their hair with treatments. I have a friend that has a strain of hair No edges, I tell her to cut it but she refuses. She so scare to cut it. Black women was never thought how to take care of their hair. I wear wigs but I wash and deep condition all the time. Im 4c. You have to treat your hair
I have ends to be worn and to be seen, if I wear braids etc. it’s because I want a change not to protect my hair. You’re so right, the actual care of your hair, cleansing, conditioning and deep conditioning.
Love it, "ends to be worn and seen", very true :) Love that you understood what she was saying. God Bless.
Ughh 😩😩 girl the WAY I needed this kick in the butt. Recently broke my addiction to Marley twists. Only 3 weeks of *truly* taking care of my natural hair and already my hair is stronger and longer!
I actually LOVE my 4c hair now. And I regret all the years hiding it behind “protective styling” yet having two handfuls of breakage every wash day?! 🤨 Bye Felicia 🚪
Thank you for saying this! I thought I was the only one who thought this!
Yea girl, I have thought about this for so long. It will be beneficial for some people to hear it.
I properly take care of my hair so “protecting styling” works for me. Lol however I know girls who always wear “protective styles” and neglect their hair and wonder what their doing wrong. Wigs and braids can be wonderful!! As long as you do right by ur hair.... ya hair don’t lie
This is so satisfying to watch. I don’t understand why anyone who claims to love her hair will hide it under dead hair for weeks or months. For the love of my natural hair I can’t even go a day without looking at it. Most of them still hate their hair but don’t want to be judged. Some just jumped on this natural hair trend for attention or to be accepted. Must you use only straight hair or wavy hair to protective style. Are there not curly Afro wigs? I wear my hair out everyday and it has grown and looks way better than all those protective style girls. Some have worn protective styles for many years and their hair looks terrible and can’t reach their butt. I can’t believe straight hair is still appreciated in the natural hair community. Some of them will do anything to have straight hair but don’t want to spend any time on their natural hair. Blaming humidity but forgetting their hair is not supposed to be straight
Exactly. Like even if they felt lazy, why not wear an afro wig? Just shows you they don't truly like their hair texture
Much insight. I can see why your hair is so long and gorgeous. Keep sharing and helping so many of us.
😍😘
A few years ago i decided to get feed-in cornrows as a "protective style".. not only was i in extreme pain b/c they were so tight but this style ripped out my edges. Lesson learned never again.. i have also seen people who wear nothing but sew-ins,crochet and wigs for extended time and their hair is a hot mess underneath. I agree not every style should be considered "protective"but more along the lines of low manipulation/less tension etc. You not protecting your hair is you jacking it up☺
Protective styles with extensions break my hair or makes it thin over time.
This is why I am telling my sisters to take better care of their hair while it is in those types of protective styles. But I am not sure why some people don't understand what I am saying.
OliDen It all depends on how you do the extensions. I have in marley box braids and what I do is braid my own hair and then crochet the hair in up top. I have retain so much growth in doing this. But if you have people pulling are gluing the extensions in. Then I can see why over time it could thin your hair out.
I think there are chemicals in the braiding hair that damages it. Or maybe the acrylic causes the hair not to breathe (in the case of yarn braids) I believe Kanekelon is the devil. No more for me.
Same! I had to stop using cornrows and box braids because my hair was suffering!
Wigs are my favorite "protective style" even though it is not my most used method. I like that I can take it off when I want and still wash my hair, condition and cornrow it again. I don't really wear the wig for the purpose of protective styling, I just want to change up my look with no commitment and little effort. I do take care of my hair underneath though. My go to style is to put my hair in two dutch braids going around my head like a halo. I take it out every week to wash my hair and moisturize it again. I haven't really been doing any low manipulation styles because I just want to come home from work/ class and study or sleep.
You are telling the truth. The real reason I went NATURAL in 2009 was because I had my permed hair braided and then a weave. The young lady who braided my hair did not know how to do the style I wanted her to do. Instead of saying, she did not know how to do the style, it took her over 15 hours to do my hair. When I took my hair down six weeks later, al of my hair at the top of my head came out with the weave.
I was devastated. However, that experience taught me to learn how to care for my own hair.
I wore braids for three years, straight. Now that was protective styling. My hair grew sooo long. I took my hair out, finally, and it all broke off.
After ten years, I finally figured it out...😰. I persisted and now I don't need to put in braids for three years to grow my hair.
Great video alot of this protective styling are just hiding there hair are ashamed of it and prefer wigs and weaves
i see it all the time with so called "youtube gurus"
People call it “protective styling” but then after installing it you hear people say, “Now I can get a break from my hair.” 😳 How “protective” is it to not moisturize your hair for weeks and weeks under the guise of protecting the strands? I know I learned long ago that I cannot do that as my hair will become as dry as the Sahara desert and majorly break off.
Yep me too
A
I'm so glad you're talking about this because I'm tired of folks talking about protective styling and the proof is not in the pudding.. Smh. I don't know why we can't be honest with ourselves in terms of our hair. We don't jave to prove anything to anyone else but at least be honest with yourself. If you protective styles effective then you will see health and growth of your hair. If there is no progress then it means you're wearing these styles because you just want to be bothered with your hair. I get it it's time consuming. My hair is waist length 4a but guess what I carve out the time when I can and I do my hair and when I dont have the time I moisture and wear it in a bun and that has grown my hair tremendously.
The Shaaaaaade. Lol.
Agree and disagree.
Some people CAN use the term "long term protective styling" in the same way that you and others are slamming and achieve massive growth. Two 4C ladies who do "long term protective styling" and are now hip to tailbone length are Efficiently Natural and What Lies Beneath The Weave. Efficiently Natural most recently wore her hair in braids with additional hair added for the last 6 MONTHS of her pregnancy and didn't skip a beat in terms of health and length when it came time to take them out. She had a regimen and stuck to it and reaped the benefits. You can keep your hair in "long-term" protective styles and maintain its health for as long you choose to as long as it's not being neglected.
Like you said, do what works for you. Others can have great results by doing the exact opposite of the comments some of these ladies are posting, because it works for them.
Best Wishes and Happy Hair Care to All!
I've always wondered the same. If my hair is breaking while I'm putting the style in,I just damaged it.
SO TRUE...I'VE SEEN PEOPLE DO THIS AND THEIR OWN HAIR HAS NO EDGES AND IS SO BROKEN OR MATTED BY THE TIME THEY TAKE OUT BRAIDS.
I see some of the points you've touched on, but your off from the gate. True protective styling comes after you complete your hair care regime. No it doesn't have any set time for the style, 2 weeks to a couple hours. If it's the style your using to protect your hair then it's a protective style. The issue is that many don't focus enough on MAINTENANCE. Without that you can protect all day, and night, but you'll never maintain any growth unless your doing both. Too many individuals are afraid of manipulation, combs, brushes, heat, etc. When your hair's only physical job is to protect your skull. It's obviously extremely strong in order to have this job in the first place. So as long as your hair, and your body are healthy. You can use all of these tools freely ( The key is making sure to get the correct type of these tools, that work best for your hair ) If folks just focused on taking care of their body, and hair then they would find growth as a benefit of that. Hair will always grow as long as it's correctly taken care of to do so. Then it becomes an issue of knowing how to maintain that growth for every individual.
Love this video. It's been a month since my last so called protective style. And what I focus now on is low maintenance styles for a week long and I get time to care for it too. Some do it for the love of it and others because they are just to lazy to care for their own hair. The latter is me and I've changed and stepped up my game to actually care for my natural hair.
Very true. I'm planning on protective styling soon. This video helped me to remember to be more cautious when handling my hair during the process! Thanks
That is wonderful 😘
I get what you mean. At the end of the day, dealing with your natural hair is subjective. One thing that works for someone may not work for others. So protective styling should be used to describe hair that is actually being protected.For example, if a Caucasion with bone straight hair had cownrows in they aren’t ‘really’ protecting their hair. It wouldnt have as much affect compared to someone who may have 4a hair and using the same method to protect it.
Why we have 2 " hide our hair" for it 2 grow tho.
Thank you it drives me crazy when I see dusty girls weave kept for the intier year
This is funny! I hate the term "protective style." I find it obnoxious. If anything, I"ll say I'm giving my hair a break. That normally means that I'll be wearing small braids or twists. It's more restorative than protective.
Restorative wow love that.
What's funny is when you're wearing a 'restorative' style, the same ones agreeing with this video will be the ones trying to clown you. What a tangled web we weave, when we put others in a box.
Hi, CCK! I greatly enjoyed this video and agree that the “protective styling” term is vaingloriously overused. Your video reminds me of one that African Hair God and DS Favors did, among a few others I’ve seen in the past. Due to my active lifestyle, I wear flat twists, cornrows, and bun combinations, yet prefer to call them hairstyles. I leave them in for about 10-14 days, take down my hair, wash, re-do them, and my hair is thriving.
Thanks for your videos, seeing you inspires me to continue taking care of my apl hair so it can reach waist length! :) 😊😎👊🏽👏🏾🙌🏾👍🏽
That's awesome. I love that you understood what I was saying.
Craving Curly Kinks Thanks for replying, I’m sure you receive a lot of messages! :)
2:08 that inner hood came out a bit! I know you about to go in!
Love your hair btw
I found out this the hard way. I just stopped wearing wigs because I realised that wigs were doing more harm than good for my hair and even knowing that I still kept wearing them because it helped me be lazy with my natural hair to the point where I didn’t know how to mange me hair and break it every time. I am now just letting it be I will only do braids/Cornrows when I want to switch it later on in the year but that’s it.
You are so right protective styling is not covering the hair but how you take care of it
HARSH TRUTHS! Thanks for speaking up:3
My mum has hair down her back ( she cut it but i think its about bra strap length) and has been natrual for 15 yrs she has very pretty hair but she wears wigs 90% of the time ( she wears puffs) that people think shes baldheaded. She takes care of it underneath and loves her natrual hair own texture ( 3c-4a) its just that wearing her real hair is hard work since shes so busy. But in no way does she hate her natrual hair .me and my sis have never been relaxed because we have a role model like her
That's wonderful, unfortunately not everyone know how to protective style the right way like your lovely mom. The video does not say wearing wigs are bad. I am trying to help people grow their hair by thinking about protective styling their hair the right way like your mommy.
Craving Curly Kinks it is very true what you was saying.
Its a good thing you have a mother who cares more about getting work done and providing for all of you than caring so much about hair and taking time away from what truly matters. In this world of shallow, insecure women, like those who criticize your mom without knowing her, you'll realize how lucky you were even more when you're older.
Luckkkkkyyyy yoyoyouououoyo. Fr. Lol also I started to relate to your mom on how her hair bounced back from the cut and I was like oh so she’s got my hair really fine and most likely same porosity however fortunately I have my dads hair and his is amazing and unfortunately my mom is not a natural her hair is short probably ear length and I’m like girl what are you doing. My moms family is so badddddd with hair like because I was blessed with my dads genetic hair. When I was much younger my moms family stayed giving perms heat hot combs you name every damaging thing I had when I was younger (revelation) but my hair would always grow back with me just simply leaving it alone and with proper hair care routines and products it not only grew back in length but grew back in health. Thanks dad 🥰
Well received!! Keep the help coming, you've really helped me learn to stay on top of the health of my family's hair.
I always thought when people said protective style they were just saying it’s a type of style that you could potentially use the right way to protect your hair but I never check personally how long they wear it for but that’s because I already know that u can’t wear something for a day and think that’s it
It's the truth. I think my hair thrives better without protective styling. I lose more hair when I have to detangle after protective styling. I think it's better to just comb your hair. My hair actually begins to thin if I don't comb my hair.
prosperitywoman4life I comb my hair my hair often. My hair needs to b combed. Protective styling don't always brk ur hair it depends on the person.
I agree! Hair should also be protected when loose/out, from hats, coats, sweaters, etc. Good video.
I'm so happy I'm not the only one. I used to get pissed all the time cuz girls would claim their natural but they are constantly in weaves or wigs and they never actually took care of their hair. "Oh I'm natural its just in a protective style" like the point of a protective style is to proctect ur hair while still actually takeung care of it. The whole point of being natural to feel comfortable in your natural hair and learn to care for it. You hiding it and not taking care of it doesn't count.
I agree people really just need to be honest.. if u just don’t want to deal with u hair.. or if u just are in love with weave.. just keep it real!! And don’t lead people astray..
Please do a video on your personal protective styles + maintenance. Like what PROTECTIVE styles do you go out with on a day to day basis? This I need to know.
Thank you, thank you another great video. I love how you are so detailed on usage, because some are still not getting it. You've helped so many including me.
Yep, I always try to be helpful but some people takes my passion the wrong way. Instead of being open minded like you.😍
You have a good point, my hair is always in cornrows or corkscrews, almost never in an afro or wash and go. I was always offended when ppl refer to those styles only as protective styles.
I totally agree! What I do is called nonstyling.. Covering my hair with a scarf most of the time to avoid styling out of laziness.
Your hair is so beautiful. Thank you for this video. I had been struggling with this concept of 'protective styling' yet my hair wasn't progressing. I now understand that it's about taking care of the hair before and less manipulation.
I have realized i wasn’t moisturizing my ends like I should. Before I put my braids in, I deep conditioned. Rnsed our, did oil and leave in and then I stretched it over night and braided it the next day. After I braided it, I sprayed castor oil on my edges
There is so much shade in this video, most people don't know how to take care of their hair, we watch "CZcams Gurus" who lie most of the time, it's not so much hypocrisy but more like ignorance. Also, most of us work 9 hours 5 days a week outside of the home. Most "CZcams Gurus work from home. We can't leave our hair out for 2 days to stretch.
You said ear length!!!! I am screaming lmaoooooooooo!
Lol
yes my hair is more than 4c, I call it 4Z is super kinky, what u say is realy true. I can't part my hair without a bit breakage! I do work always with the same part/section. Sinds my 1.5 year journey I didn't put any braid or wigg!
If you wear wigs/weaves 90% of the time, that is NOT a protective style. No one has to protect their hair that much. Example: monicastylemuse. She is not protective styling, her natural hair just looks like shit and she loves wigs. I dont even know how women spend so much money on wigs and wig care lmao. Id rather use that money to grow my real hair, or buy some food 🤷🏾♀️😂
Most wig/weave wearers prefer long straight hair. But yea they dont want to be judged for it so they say they are "protective styling" Most wigs look sooo fake btw, and every black girl with a wig in real life looks like she has a huge head from behind 🤷🏾♀️ doesnt look natural either, and non-black girls use the fact that yall are "protective styling" with wigs to say their hair is better. Be friends with non black women or girls or just hang around them and you will find out 🤷🏾♀️
And to add on, you dont need to protective style to grow your hair, you just shouldnt manipulate it daily. Look at naptural85 she never protective styled before her channel blew up and she needed to produce more content, and her hair was actually LONGER back then. Her hair got longer not protective styling for 4 years than most naturals now a days 😂😂😂 Most naturals today need to just be honest and say they feel less feminine with short natural hair 🤷🏾♀️ Chicks need to stop big chopping, the big chop is why the wig movement grew, most woman of any race dont feel feminine with boy short hair. Yes i am calling it boy short because most women dont keep their hair that short, men do tho
Sophia N lol she doesnt take care of her hair, so yeah it looks bad to me imo. Anyone can have unhealthy looking hair, naturals included. Did i have to use the word shit? No. Could i have been more polite and just said unhealthy? Yes but idgaf, it looks like shit to me. Black women try to act like if you say someones natural hair looks bad, you hate all natural hair. Sorry, some natural hair does look bad and NO it is not because she is 4c, it is because she doesnt take care of it
Her natural hair is DAMAGED! Shes over used weave that much its damaged her hair. She needs to stop wearing weaves altogether.
Kitcat_007 did she leave 2 comments. She repeated the original comment
I have long hair and what you said about non black women is so true. they hold on to that hair thing like a vice grip. and if only black girls knew, they would stop wearing wigs and weaves unless it's close to our natural hair texture. bc I can tell you non black women get jealous when they see a black girl with naturally long hair no matter if it's flatironed or kinky/curly. shoot there are even wigs and weaves with a kinky straight texture and it looks 1000 times better than those silky straight weave girls be walking around with.
Kitcat_007 the original comment said that the youtuber’s hair “look like shit underneath wigs” Sofia N sounds like she was telling the person who made original that the comment wasn’t saying her hair look like shit wasn’t nice to say. Am I missing something? I’m being respectful so I expect the same in return.
I don't think that protective styles itself is bad but that we insist on using extensions most of the time. Styles like braids and twists could be done without using extensions and it would force people to wash and regular moisture their hair.
I agree with you: the term has been used and abused, and has become a cliché! When will I get to your hair length?😊
You will be there sooner than you think.😀
Craving Curly Kinks thanks love.
I put my hair in mini twist from time to time and every 3 days I do the LOC method while my twist are in.
That's a great regimen gurl.
I used to protective style my hair for yeaars but I did not moisturize or deep condition enough so It didnt grow😅
Key point is to take care of it by moisturizing WELL and conditioning and finding the correct regimen for you to MAINTAIN your hair.
I agree with you because I went through this lol
Suna M how to moisturize cornrows?
@craving curly kinks, thank you for this! You dropped some gold today. I have said this for years. How can you wear a wig for 40yrs and never moisturize and nourish your hair.
First *** Aye!!! Great infor video and you look gorgeous as ever!!!
I was so hoping this video would be received in a positive light, fingers crossed.😘
I'm at 3:38 in the video. I would hope that people do take care of their hair before styling it if not that is just neglect on their part :). Edit: Yeah I get what you mean this is so true. I used to wonder how I passed some people IRL and on youtube that big chopped two years + before me.
Yep it is not all that is cracked up to be.
Yesssss yesss finally somebody said it!!! Overly using the word to hide behind it. My curls juicy no matter what STYLE bc I PROTECT it. VERY IMPORTANT
I know someone who wear wigs all the time. She hates seeing her real hair. One day she came into work without a wig. I was so shocked. I'm not sure why she wear wigs. She has a full head of long healthy hair. I asked her why she wears wigs she said she can't do without them. She thinks her hair isn't done unless she has a wig on.
She knows how to take care of her hair with wigs.
So true, "protective style", is the golden phrase, in natural hair care these days.
You are on point sweedy.. Thanks for sharing. Your hair is looking gorgeous
I agree with you 100%.
I was wearing Crochet braids from 2012
Until Recenty in December 2017..
I Decided to stop .
my hair did grow but it was so week it kept breaking.
For the past 3 months I have been deep conditioning my hair every two weeks and my hair flourish so much I was so Amazedddddddddd!
You definitely know what you're talkin about....
Another good video.. 😊.I'm finding your videos very informative. I've been practicing your tips for edges maintenance too. Thanks for sharing.
That's fantastic!😊😊
I agree. I talk about this on my channel. Thank you for explaining your definition. I'm a wash n go girl and I'm looking for a protective style that I can feel comfortable with for the winter this year. I'm planning on talking about this again on my channel. God bless :). Thanks again. You are doing so well and looking great !
Moisture is key. My twists can lose moisture in a couple days so I have to re-moisturize. But I'm also lazy so I would rather keep twists in.
LMFAO I absolutely LOVE this video!
Lmaooo I be wondering the same thing. Like what are these people protective styling? They're hair has been neck length for a decade. 😂
This is a good vidéo, great infos but too long n repetetive.
Kristelle Beauboeuf Change The Channel!
I agree with you 100%. I just take care of my hair period. "Protective" styles caused me to manipulate my hair more and heaven knows if the look was lack-luster it all came down soon after. Over it. I focus on moisture retention and frequent wash and gos for more versatility and elasticity should I actually decide to wear a specific "style".
Wen I do my hair n braids it's not protective styling. I jus styl my hair n that's the way I style it. It's not a protective styl for me. Now I treat my hair B4 styling like washing, deep condition, moisturizing, greasing, and then I style my hair. But no protective styling. Jus styling
I completely agree! Girl, please! I just got my hair did....smh
All good points but turn the music down some sis; it’s distracting.
Craving Kinky Curls, did you do a video on how to take down your hair from a protective style? I would appreciate seeing it. Thanks again, beautiful lady. Peace, love, and joy!
Couldn't agree more!
😉

To each it’s own when it comes to protective styling people have to take care of their hair it’s up to them I wear protective styles and they have helped me a lot people aren’t taking care of their under the protective styles that’s why they have all these problems
