Summer is a great time to wear protective styles. During the summer, we tend to spend a lot of time outside and tend to get a little lazy with our hair (confession time!).
Wearing a protective style allows you to keep your hair, especially your ends from damage that can come from styling manipulation, and friction from brushing against your clothes or jewelry. The result of a good protective style is that your hair retains length and moisture coming out even healthier.

When it comes to protective styles, there are two main types
- Long-term protective styles are meant to be in the hair for several weeks and tend to cover or protect the whole head of hair.
- Short-term protective styles should only be kept in for a couple of days and tend to be focused on protecting the ends versus all the hair.

- You get a break from doing your hair: Long-term protective styles allow you to not have to deal with your hair every single day by styling it. You still do have to do some maintenance but it’s not as much when your hair is out.
- You can retain length: By doing less manipulation and letting your hair sit for a while your hair is less prone to breakage.
