Protective Styles: Let Your Hair Rest and Retain
Why It Works
Length retention isn't just about growth — it's about keeping what grows. Every time you manipulate your hair, you risk breakage. Protective styles (braids, twists, wigs, buns) tuck your ends away and give your hair a break from daily styling, which is how length actually accumulates over time.
How To
- Moisturize first: Never install a protective style on dry hair. Do the LOC method before braiding or twisting.
- Don't skip your scalp: With styles in, apply oil to your scalp 2–3 times a week and massage gently.
- Watch the tension: A style should never hurt. Pain means too-tight, and too-tight means breakage and thinning edges.
- Set a limit: 4–6 weeks max, then take it down, deep condition, and let your hair breathe before reinstalling.
- Night care still counts: Satin bonnet or scarf every single night — protective style or not.
