Alright ladies: please don't think that I am trying to chase down the cold weather; I am still enjoying my bikini and shorts, I swear. But I have been thinking about my hair this coming winter. Last year the cold was brutal on my hair, and this year I want to be prepared with a protective style, and that might need a bit of planning, starting now.
I'm sure that I don't have to stress the importance of protective styling in our regimens, apart from the length retention benefits. It also gives you a well earned break from the detangling sessions, which is always a good thing. It is crazy how these months just fly by, so I have made a list of a couple of protective styles that we can all choose from as the cold months approach check them out:
dreads’
Sew in
I’m thinking about the crochet braids!
Straight braids
Box braids
I actually want to start locking my hair this winter. I need a reputable salon in the Trenton NJ area. Any suggestions?
How about your own braids, your own twists, your own locs. I feel you left out a few things.
I like that suggestion best. I’m not big on buying hair. I’m tired of wigs and I don’t do braids well. Although I am seriously considering Senegalese Twist or Crochet Braids, I will work my own hair this winter; for now anyway..
I did leave those out, mostly because in my opinion they aren’t good protective styles for the winter. The weave in these style act as a buffer between your hair and the cold air that could cause hair to be brittle and susceptible to damage. Wearing your own braids or twist or locs in the summer is a better idea since you just need your ends tucked away and don’t have to worry about the cold air attacking the length of the hair strands. If you have success with retention in the winter with these styles though by all means go for it 🙂
Crochet braiding for sure
Senegalese twists.
U part. Year round.
Make sure they don’t pull them edges!

Weaves. It’s really the only thing that really grows my hair and dosent snatch my edges. Those sew ins really make my hair grow.
My hair is really growing with weaves and hair vitamins
My protective style for the winter will be faux locs
I’m trying to grow my edges back. I got new locs in the front so I cnt put anything on them. I will just moisturize more than normal. I’m tired of wigs, crochets, and quick weaves. I wanna and gonna rock my natural hair!!!
