Naturally Me Re-visited (Protective Style)



Happy new year everyone!

Since September, I have been rocking two different types of protective styles. The first one that I wore in September were box braids. I absolutely loved these braids. It had probably been over 10 years since I wore these type of braids in my hair. This protective style allowed me to sleep a little later, avoid putting unnecessary heat on my head, and add time to my daily schedule. I was truly in love.

This past December, I found a new true love and they were twists. At first, I wasn't sure I was loving the twists. It seemed as though the styles were not adhering to what I wanted them to do. That all changed after a week or two later when I washed my hair. Once I washed my hair and I wore the style a little longer, everything started to get better. I was able to style my hair the way I wanted, the twists laid they way I wanted, and I was happy.

My goals for the future is to limit the amount of heat that I place on my hair and wear more protective styles. These styles will consist of, but now limited to: Braids, twists, wigs, naturally curly hair, and other styles.

Various Natural Styles

Various Natural Hair Styles

To the right, you will notice the various natural hair styles that I have done in the past and present. The majority of the pictures show me with braids, which is a great protective hair style. Braids are great for the summer time, especially when the humidity seems to be disastrous on your hair. They are also easier to manage with all them added responsibilities that you may have due to parties, poetry events, summer vacations, and all that good stuff.

Treat yourself sometimes by getting your hair done by a professional and doing different styles on yourself. It is well worth it.
