To grow natural hair or any hair of the sort you need to manipulate and comb your hair as little as possible. To do so without your hair getting tangled and looking like a lions mane we do a protective style.
Types of long lasting protective style.
Twists outs, wash and gos and the other locally know protective styles can only take you so far. They will last from 2-4 days.
A protective style that can last a week is:
1.Twisting the hair fine but not to fine where will it cause tangles when been taken down. Go with a size you are comfortable with but do not allow it to get too big. After the twists are finish the French braid the twist hair. Usually six at the front and 2 at the back both. Do a ratio of 3:1 with your twist french braid and secure it with a elastic.
2. French braid your hair into six. Having the French braid originating from the front and ending at the back of your nape.
These 2 protective styles can last you for up to a week. I mostly prefer number because it is a really cute style and doesn't look like a protective style at all. Also during the week of having it in you and loose out the French braid leaving the twists and moisturize your hair and redo the French braid in the same number of division as from before.
Remember to properly moisturize your hair before doing any long lasting protective style to keep your hair from becoming dry and prone to breakage.
