Creating an updo hairstyle takes time.
But when deciding to create a natural hair protective style, it takes planning.
A protective style is meant to do one thing and one thing only – protect your hair underneath.
There are some precautionary measures to take before starting.
You can’t just start with the style, you have to prep your hair and prep it really good.
HOW TO PREP FOR A NATURAL HAIR PROTECTIVE STYLE
Starting out with freshly washed hair is always best as you will want to have a clean surface for the product to adhere to, and to lessen the build-up that may occur.
Manageability is vital especially if you anticipate lots of detangling and you will want the hair to be a smooth as possible.
Then, stretching or blow-drying the hair on cool setting should be taken into consideration.
While creating the natural hair protective style, carefulness will be important.
You should always think twice about how you part, pull, apply product, and the tools used.
