Protective Styling................. CHECK THIS OUT


One really good way to avoid a lot of heat damage to your hair is protective styling. Protective styling is anything that doesn't require you to touch or style your hair everyday such as ponytails, buns, braid outs and roller sets. I am currently still wearing braids but I wanted to begin to show you alternatives to wraps. So the protective style below is a simple overnight rollerset. No hair dryers involved. You can achieve this look by using about 20 big foam or satin rollers and a little wrap lotion. Divide the hair into four sections. Then part the hair into sections to add the roller. While doing this, only add a little wrap lotion. You don't want the hair wet, just damp. Sleep in the rollers overnight then in the morning remove them. Depending on how tight you rolled the hair, wet your hands and finger tips and style the hair by running your fingers through it and finger combing the curls. In this case, we added a head band but normally I pin up my sides or do a hump in the top. Maybe two big twists... it depends. Because curls are soft, it is up to you to decide how you want to style them. But this protective style can last you up to a week depending on the upkeep of the curls. Supplies for this can be found at your nearest beauty supply store. If there isn't one near you, most Walmarts and Dollar Stores will carry these items. Alright ladies enjoy......................
