The BEST and EASIEST PROTECTIVE STYLES For Natural Hair!
Baby! It's getting colder outside, and so weâre rounding up some of our favorite protective styles for Fall! đ Need some ideas? Keep reading below!
Box Braids Hairstyles
Box braids are a classic protective style that can keep your tresses healthy this Fall! From short bobs to long "Poetic Justice" styles, box braids are as beautiful as they are protective! You can personalize them by adding accessories such as beads, charms, and/or metallic, colored string! Whatâs great about box braids is that once installed, you're free to go throughout the week without having to do much maintenance or touch ups in-between, and they offer endless styling options! Since your scalp is exposed in this protective style, you'll want to be sure you're caring for it by keeping it hydrated and nourished. The Melanin Haircare Multi-Use Pure Oil Blend is great for this as it's gentle, nourishing, soothing and penetrates deep into the skin and hair, to remain non-oily and moisturized. â¨đŚ

Twisted Hairstyles
Similar to box braids, twisted hairstyles come in an array of different looks, sizes, and styles, and are a stylish and easy way to protect your hair this season! From smaller Mini Twist Styles, to Twisted Styles with added hair like Passion Twists and Kinky Twists, there's a style for every vibe! đđž

Head Wrap Hairstyles
When you're in a pinch, or if your hair just isn't cooperating, a quick and easy solution, that's also protective, is gentle head wrap styling! Beyond being stylish, head wraps are a great way to protect your hair from the outside elements that can lead to dry hair, frizzing, and breakage, such as wind, frigid temperatures, and the sun! Head wraps come in so many different colors, patterns and fabrics, there's an option for every aesthetic and occasion. For optimum results and protection, reach for head wraps that are soft, and preferably have a sleek, satiny material, like The Melanin Haircare Stretch Satin Head Wraps and Textured Stretch Satin Head Wraps, to ensure your hair remains moisturized and protected throughout.

Halo Twist aka Twisted Crown
There's a ton of protective styles you can do on your own hair - we previously mentioned Mini Twists!

Halo Twists and Halo Braids are great protective styles that look elegant and chic, while remaining low maintenance for busy naturals short on time! This style can be done at night to keep your ends protected as you sleep, đ´Â or created in the morning before you start your day! âď¸ Whatâs also great about this style is that it can be preserved throughout the week without much fuss!
