Protective styles are a great way to give your hair time to grow without everyday manipulation.  Beware..... Protective styles do have an expiration date!! After 2 months... its time to say goodbye.... Your hair and scalp need air and hydration for growth and overall scalp and hair health.  There are some protectives that leave your scalp open and available for you to shampoo or moisturize.(box braids, some crochet styles)

​

After you your protective style, do a safe detangling an get your scalp detoxed to remove any buildup, then follow up with a deep conditioner or hydrating steam treatment.
