2. Cornrows or styles based on cornrows like Fulani braids – Long-term protective style depending on the size of the cornrows
Cornrows are a staple protective style and have been worn by millions of black women for generations. If you can install them yourself all the better as you could save yourself some cash. They keep your strands from tangling and can last for weeks on end. If you have fine hair that tends to frizz you might want to add extensions* for volume and to prolong the longevity of the style.
The size of the cornrows will dictate if you can wash your hair and keep your scalp clean effectively while wearing the style. Small but not micro cornrows are probably the best in this regard as they will allow you to keep to your washing and deep conditioning* routine while wearing the style and keeping it looking neat.
I AM DEAF I NEED TO KNOW HOW MUCH MY HAIR BRAIDING AND I PAY FOR IT BRAIDING KINKY TWIST
OK THANK YOU VERY MUCH SO BEST KINKY TWIST?
The Real Person!
I dont actually know how much braids or kinky twists cost, prices vary depending on the stylist you ask. Please check with local hair salon. Good luck,
how would you wash your hair weekly if braided and how long should you keep the braids to avoid manipulation. I have short natural hair and usually braid my hair keeping the braids for a month. is that too long?
I leave mine in for two months
i dont like wearing weaves or braids if i do put them in they last for only 1-2 weeks. so what protective styles can i use with my hair and how long will they last as my hair do not keep styles for long (1 week)
I have very thin/bald edges. What protective styles do you recommend?
The Real Person!
Nothing braided if you have thinning edges I’m afraid. You should only do low manipulation styles like braid outs, twist outs and loose buns until you grow your edges back. Even after that any braided styles should not be used again because clearly your hair cannot take them.
I had Lupus at one time and lost lots of hair on the crown of my head. I use to wear a wig but they seem to be taking my edges out. I have been putting my hair up and wearing a weave ponytail. What do you recommend.
hair go natural does all natural I love it now that’s what I call good hair
I love this website!
Too late! It is cut!
I love them too I just put in mine 2 days ago. I learned how to braid and twist after I went back natural 3 years ago took me over a year to learn tho lol
At least you learned. I can’t really braid. I tried Havana twist with Marley hair…not the greatest. But I’ll keep at it like you! Hopefully I’ll get it.
Takes a lot of practice and I know I’m not perfect yet but it’ll save you money also. I really hope you get it I’m sure you will! And Marley was my fave type of twist until I discovers the kinky afro hair only thing is it doesn’t come long like the Marley hair and I had to double up to make it longer to cover my hair.
Will be getting one of these style very soon, good post, I love the Bantu Knots.
I bought a huge Afro wig. Do you think I can do a two strain twist style with it or just cut it down.
I like to wear that Kinky twist protective hairstyle which looks perfect on me.
