Protective Styles

We all like to walk out the house feeling beautiful but when it comes to hair health protecting it is critical. So it imperative we choose a style that not only promotes our self esteem but hair growth as well. Protective styling is seen mostly on Type 4 hair, very rarely can you type in "protective hair styling" into Google and not see this type of hair arise. For men and women with kinkier/tighter curl hair types this isn't a huge concern but for people with straight, wavy, or loose curls this is a problem. It is through person experience that I share with you a growing list of styles that have worked for me (or that I have yet to try).

While I would love to post the entire list of nearly 200 hairstyles.. sadly this blogger template makes it insanely difficult to do.. >_< grr.. so for now that simply isn't possible. To make this easier on everyone I have posted the playlist of hairstyles on my Youtube account under MAC CAN. The playlist is entitled "Protective Styles".  So here is the list with links.
