Protective Styles for Naturally Black Hair

Breakage is a major factor when growing black hair and steps must be taken to keep each strand of hair healthy. In addition, you must pay attention to length, as normal hair grows around a half inch each month. The ends of the hair are the oldest part of the hair strand. Hair ends are open to the weather elements and go through the most styling. For this reason, the ends can become damaged in a way that leads to hair breakage. Protective styles for naturally black hair can prevent breakage and maintain hair growth.

Bantu knots are a protective hair style for protecting the ends without a lot of handling of the hair. According to Naturally Curly, a protective style should protect the hair ends and seal the ends with a moisturizer. Your hair will need a good shampooing and deep conditioning before you attempt the protective hair style. Also, apply and leave in conditioner and keep a spray bottle around to wet the hair.

Putting the hair in Bantu knots involves parting the hair into sections depending on personal preference and hair length. Next, take a section of the hair and twist. Take the twist and wrap the twist around until forming a knot. Secure the knot by tucking or using a rubber band. This style will last about a week or longer. Also, the Bantu knots can be taken down to form a wavy, loose hairstyle.

A bun is a classic hair style that protects the hair ends. According to Motown Girl, the type of bun will depend on hair length. Smooth the hair back into a ponytail and secure with a ponytail holder. Take the ponytail and twist the hair. Secure the bun with a ponytail holder to keep the ends from unraveling. To enjoy the benefits of a hair bun, moisturize the hair daily and apply moisturizer to the ends of the hair.

Flat twists are another protective hair style for protecting ends and maintaining hair length, Motown Girl advises. Two strand twists are done straight back or with a part when styling the hair. The style involves twisting two strands of hair together and keeping the hair flat against the scalp. You should secure the ends of the twist with a rubber band to prevent hair from unraveling. Another option: take the ends of the hair and use bobby pins to form a bun.
