<p class="has-normal-font-size">Protective hairstyles are hairstyles where one’s hair is tucked away from the body with the ends<br>hidden. These hairstyles are meant to protect natural hair from external damage and promote<br>hair growth.</p>



<p class="has-normal-font-size">Protective hairstyles are especially crucial during the winter months, according to hairstylists<br>Francine Kargbo, owner of <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thehairguru__/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Hair Guru</a>. Kargbo said winter weather can strip moisture<br>from one’s hair, causing dryness and even breakage.</p>



<p class="has-normal-font-size">“Protective hairstyles, like braids and twists, help lock in the moisture by reducing exposure to<br>the weather,” Kargbo said. One can choose from a range of protective hairstyles like braids, twists, locks, sew-ins, bantu knots, ponytails, and wigs.</p>



<p class="has-normal-font-size"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/prettierprofiles/?igsh=dWc1b2l0ZWlzNmNs&amp;utm_source=qr#" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Prettier Profiles</a> owner and hair stylist Daijah Nabors said the two most important factors clients<br>should consider when choosing a protective style are their lifestyle and personal skill level when<br>styling their hair.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full is-resized"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="450" height="600" src="https://thecityinsightmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Prettier-Profiles-Custom-Wig.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-19298" style="width:450px;height:auto" srcset="https://thecityinsightmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Prettier-Profiles-Custom-Wig.jpeg 450w, https://thecityinsightmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Prettier-Profiles-Custom-Wig-225x300.jpeg 225w, https://thecityinsightmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Prettier-Profiles-Custom-Wig-300x400.jpeg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px" /></figure>
</div>


<p class="has-normal-font-size"><br>“K-tip [extensions], while they can be protective … there&#8217;s more maintenance you&#8217;re having to<br>do to your hair, “ Nabors said. “If you like to work out a lot and you sweat a lot from your head,<br>[K-tips] would not be conducive to your hair growth or protection.”<br>Kargbo said an important factor to consider when choosing a protective style is whether one’s<br>hair is heat-trained or not.</p>



<p class="has-normal-font-size"><br>“One of my favorite protective hairstyles is sew-in leaveouts, which is your natural hair<br>is out at the top, and then the rest of your hair is covered … it’s braided down,” Kargbo said.<br>“You don&#8217;t want to do a leave out if … your natural hair is not heat-trained yet, because it<br>could cause heat damage.” For a client with basic hair skills, Nabors would recommend protective styles like braids, or, those more sensitive to head touch, and locks.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img decoding="async" width="410" height="600" src="https://thecityinsightmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/IMG_6790.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-19299" srcset="https://thecityinsightmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/IMG_6790.jpeg 410w, https://thecityinsightmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/IMG_6790-205x300.jpeg 205w, https://thecityinsightmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/IMG_6790-273x400.jpeg 273w" sizes="(max-width: 410px) 100vw, 410px" /></figure>
</div>


<p class="has-normal-font-size"><br>“I would recommend locks because your hair is completely put away. You get retwists every<br>month to two months, and you do not have to get your hair done often. You&#8217;re<br>simply just shampooing it and conditioning it, ” Nabors said.</p>



<p class="has-normal-font-size">Kargbo said her current favorite braid styles are bohemian braids and <a href="https://www.realsimple.com/fulani-braids-7969329" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fulani braids</a>. She said<br>with boho braids and general protective styling, it is important to invest in one&#8217;s hair.<br>“The most important thing … investing in the quality of hair that you&#8217;re buying,” Kargbo said.<br>“For wigs, they&#8217;re way more pricey, because you have to make sure that you&#8217;re buying<br>quality wigs.” </p>



<p class="has-normal-font-size">Nabors said her favorite protective hairstyle is wigs because they provide complete coverage of<br>one&#8217;s hair and some allow for easier removal to moisturize one&#8217;s scalp and do other treatments.<br>Nabors said she recommends finding wigs from a hairstylist who creates custom ones for the<br>client.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img decoding="async" width="450" height="600" src="https://thecityinsightmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/IMG_5290.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-19300" srcset="https://thecityinsightmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/IMG_5290.jpeg 450w, https://thecityinsightmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/IMG_5290-225x300.jpeg 225w, https://thecityinsightmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/IMG_5290-300x400.jpeg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px" /></figure>
</div>


<p class="has-normal-font-size"><br>Kargbo said when it comes to wig maintenance, she recommends the <a href="https://shopwigdealer.com/collections/wig-supplies/products/lace-melting-spray?tw_source=google&amp;tw_adid=&amp;tw_campaign=19109950297&amp;gad_source=1&amp;gclid=CjwKCAiAl4a6BhBqEiwAqvrqusLKvmUHuSHs02-34VnIohTThUZgVndSeDUKKt-thBkeX868tEw0XxoCMnEQAvD_BwE" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wig Dealer melting spray</a><br>as a product when one&#8217;s lace begins to lift on their wig. Kargbo said common mistakes people make when implementing a protective hairstyle are over washing, excessive heat, and skipping moisturizing.</p>



<p class="has-normal-font-size">“It&#8217;s very easy to forget to moisturize your hair when you have a protective hairstyle in,” Kargbo<br>said. “Even though you have a protective hairstyle and you still have to care for your natural<br>hair, like oiling your scalp every night when you have your braids in.” Nabors said she recommends moisture for protective styles as well, specifically with a leave-in conditioner, and through shampooing and conditioning one&#8217;s natural hair.</p>



<p class="has-normal-font-size">“Whether that be a wig, braids, K-tips, a sew-in, you&#8217;re always going to want to make sure you&#8217;re<br>moisturizing your leave out if it’s a sew-in, your extensions, or the braid under your extensions<br>with a leave-in conditioner,” Nabor said. Nabors said water is the ultimate form of moisture.<br>“Water is the ultimate form of moisture, not just on your hair, but within your body,” Nabors said.<br>“So consuming enough water, taking your vitamins …what you put in your body comes out of<br>your body.</p>

<div class="wp-block-image">

<p class="has-normal-font-size">Despite this considerable impact on one’s well-being, <a href="https://brandpartner.id/hair-problems-plague-nearly-half-of-people-but-only-a-small-percentage-prioritize-care/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">research by BrandPartner on personal care found </a>that only 17.4% of those surveyed prioritized hair care. The surveyors cited multiple potential reasons including lack of time and education on the subject. Hair specialists across Houston are filling this gap by educating others on what to do and not do with their hair care.</p>



<p class="has-normal-font-size"><a href="https://www.planetcurls.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Planet Curls</a> salon owner and curly hair specialist Gerri D. Curtis said healthy hair starts at the scalp and is the key to healthy hair. <br><br>“If your scalp isn&#8217;t healthy, your hair will not be healthy,” Curtis said. &#8220;It&#8217;s more internal as well. So what you put in your body is going to show with your hair.” Curtis said using clean products is crucial when maintaining healthy hair, with her salon carrying clean hair products like <a href="https://innersensebeauty.com/collections/curly?tw_source=google&amp;tw_adid=&amp;tw_campaign=20617878192&amp;gad_source=1&amp;gclid=CjwKCAjw9eO3BhBNEiwAoc0-jXDIfSrUz8uViDUqLLKrjiPgYb_opnT1QtftOcY33byvNLFRGuRzzxoCTVYQAvD_BwE" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Inner Sense</a> and <a href="https://www.curlyworld.com/products" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Curly World.</a> <br><br>Curtis said when clients are trying to establish a healthy hair care routine, the salon will recommend an Inner Sense product called the Pearl Spa Treatment involving a scalp scrub, detox mask, and a deep hydrating conditioner with steam. Clean hair products are goods that do not use synthetic ingredients or damaging chemicals, but instead use ingredients that overall promote hair health, <a href="https://goldielocks.com/blogs/news/clean-hair-care#:~:text=Clean%20hair%20care%20refers%20to,risk%20of%20irritation%20and%20damage." target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to Goldie Locks.</a> <br><br>“Every client that I get when they sit in my chair, I tell them that they have to become an ingredient freak, look at the back of your bottle, see what&#8217;s in it,” Curtis said. <br><br>Curtis also said to continue reading the bottle of products even after a long time of usage to watch out for potential ingredient changes, with one ingredient to avoid being sulfate.</p>

<p class="has-normal-font-size">“A lot of people think that they have an oily scalp, but in reality, they&#8217;re using shampoo that has sulfate in it, and they&#8217;re just drying their hair. They wash their hair… and it just continues to be oily, Curtis said. “If you would just stop washing your hair so much and use a sulfate-free cleanser, your scalp will regulate.”<br><br><a href="https://www.prettierprofiles.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Prettier Profiles</a> founder and hair stylist Daijah Nabors also uses clean hair products at her healthy hair care-based salon, including her completely vegan, unreleased line. Nabors said the first step to starting a healthy hair care routine however is assessing, or “dating” one’s hair, paying attention to its reactions to products, and getting to know it before creating a regimen. <br><br>“Pay attention to the ingredients in the products that you&#8217;re using and see the similarities amongst those products,” Nabors said. <br><br>Autumn Ayri, owner of <a href="https://ladyayri.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lady Ayri Natural Hair Care</a> salon and natural hair care specialist, said that consultations with several salons are the first step to establishing a healthy hair care regimen to put clients on the right track, with every client’s hair needs being different. Ayri’s all-natural vegan-based hair care line Kinky Secrets Beauty, is named after everyone’s hair being unique with different requirements. <br><br>“It&#8217;s called What&#8217;s your Kinky Secret? Because everyone&#8217;s hair is different. So what one person may need, someone else may not … it&#8217;s tailored to what you need and what you want.” Ayri said a common mistake she often sees clients make is going home and lathering oil products mistakenly as moisturizers, as well as finding the correct amount of product to use. <br><br>“So now, within my resume, … they&#8217;re going home with the product [and] I told them the right amount to use, or how to just break it up in sections,” Ayri said. <br><br>Nabors said one should try to avoid excessive heat on their hair and excessive force, and to make sure they’re using the correct tools on their hair type. <br><br>“If you have thick hair, I wouldn&#8217;t recommend a thin-tooth comb. I would recommend a wide-tooth comb for detangling your hair,” Nabors said. “You don&#8217;t want to use tools that are incompatible with your hair.”<br><br>Ayri said that hair trims should be done once a quarter or potentially twice a year, depending on each person’s hair. Ayri said healthy hair care is all about finding the right salon. <br><br>“Getting back on track is hard, but it&#8217;s also easy to do,” Ayri said. “It all goes back to finding that salon that works for you and with you, and finding a good regimen and sticking to it.”</p>

<p style="font-size:16px">It&#8217;s time to kickoff the season with some fabulous summer hairstyles that express your inner self, so you can enjoy being under the sun. <br><br>Updo hairstyles help create a fresh look for your face and help you stay cool under the summer sun. You can do up your hair in a bun or style your braids and cornrows into updo styles. <br>	<br>Short hair helps lessen the work of long hair and gives you a new frame around your face. Pixie cuts, Bobs, and Mullets have been popular with the coming trends worldwide. If you are ready to take the short hair plunge or want to try something new, there is a world of options for you. <br><br>Long hair offers a range of options and styles to create a new look for yourself. Long curls, braids, layers, and shags have been shaping the fashion world, and many people will try the looks for themselves during the summer. <br><br>Natural hair has been at the forefront of fashion, with big and large afro curls, layers of braids, and styled dreads. If you have natural hair and are ready for a new look, then now is a better time than any to let your hair out and your natural show.  <br><br>The world of hair is a large and ever-growing world that has endless possibilities to express yourself. During the summer, take the time to think about your style and show it to the world as a form of self-expression.</p>
