Published

on

African  women are blessed with thick dense hair that can be skillfully shaped into breathtaking hairstyles. However, the natural dryness and brittleness of kinky hair is the other side of the medal that needs special care.

Protective hairstyles aim to limit the stress of environmental factors on natural hair. Here we are going to share 60 easy yet very showy protective hairstyles and tips on how to care for your natural hair.

Benefits of Protective Hairstyles

Protective hairstyles are priceless, since besides a flawless elegant look, they keep your hair ends tucked and protected from aggressive damaging factors. In addition, they help to maintain moisture, retain length, and protect the edges from thinning.

In addition to wearing protective hairstyles, you can boost the health of your coils by following these tips for kinky hair:

  1. Nourish your hair and scalp with natural oils or apply hydrating balms before styling your hair;
  2. Let your hair dry overnight;
  3. Wear a hat or a head wrap to protect your hair from high or low temperatures.
  4. Protect your coils overnight by sleaping with a satin scarf on your head.

Now let’s see how you can style your hair in a protective way. Flat twists, a pineapple hairstyle, or a side part updo – which protective hairstyle will be your new iconic look after browsing these ideas?

Updo with Flat Twists

Some protective hairstyles like box braids and jumbo cornrows can pull on edges or weigh your strands down, which is the exact opposite of what you want. In order to combat this, you can opt for twists. They have the same effect but are lighter and easier to wear.

Always try to wash your feet daily using a mild soap not only helps ward off germs, dirt but the warm water can help stimulate circulation to your feet and toes, which helps toenails grow healthy and strong. Be sure to scrub your toenails with a foot brush while bathing and thoroughly dry each foot, including between the toes.

Regular trimming

Make sure you inspect and trim your toenails with a good pair of toenail clippers about once a month. It is very important that you trim your toenails properly in order to help prevent ingrown toenails and bacterial and fungal infections. Remember, do not you should also never cut your toenails too short.

Go for occasional massage

Whether you go for a professional rub, receive help from your partner or do it yourself, occasional foot rubs will help keep the circulation in your feet and toes strong. Good circulation gives your nails a rich blood supply.

Be cautious of your pedicures and nail polish

Some professional pedicures can leave your toenails vulnerable to toenail fungal infections, and nail techs often cut your cuticles which can lead to infection. Meanwhile, some non-organic nail polish can leave your toenails stained yellow, and some nail polish remover can significantly dry out your nails, leading to unattractive peeling and cracking. Hence, it’s best to use caution when treating your feet and toes to pedicures.
