Protective Styles 101
A protective style is a style that keeps the ends of your hair away and minimize manipulation.
What does a protective style ‘protect’ your hair from?

- Combing, detangling, updos and physically manipulation
- High heat, chemicals, Colour treatments
- Environment pollutants in the air
