Personally I HATE protective styling. But I want my hair to grow and people on YouTube swear up and down this is the way to go. So I will do it for now. Here is a pic of my current protective style.
It is two strand twists rolled back into a bun and secured with a comb. BORING! Actually, not that boring. The thing about protective styling is that you have to do it a lot it seems. So I am going to make a compromise. I will protective style during the week and on the weekends I will wear my hair out.
I have also added a few new things to my hair regimen
1. I will finger comb from now on when detangling myhair for the weekely wash.
2. I will re moisturize (meaning wet) my hair every 3 days.
3. I will start using grease and water. I know it is old school, but I hear it works pretty well.
4. I will start using kimmaytube leave in conitioner when I get all the ingredients in.
5. I will deep condition every 2 weeks.
Wigs are still a protective styling option for me. I am still in love with finger comber and that is usually what I wear on the weekends if I am going to a special event. I currently also have Creta Girl by Freetress, I will do a review on it soon. I have also discovered a new hair weave line called the Heat Free Hair Movement. But they are busting heads on the price. One pack is $139 for the 12". And you need two to do your hair. Now, the hair is fiyah, but, I don't have that kind of money right now lol. They are also tripping cause I can't copy and paste a pic here to show you the hair. I don't understand why companies do that. It is free advertsement. Anyway click here to see the hair.

i don't like protective styles either, mainly because i don't think my hair is at a good length to wear them out in public. i really only wear protective styles when i know i'm not going to be going anywhere forreal for a couple of days.

DeleteSaw your post on BGLH and decided to check out your blog. I am enjoying it. This week I have my 3rd natural hair anniversary and after a summer of loose hair I am doing more protective styles this fall. My go to protective styles used to be wigs, but, I am challenging myself to use my own hair. I like the loose style you wear and will be trying them.
