Protective styling has its benefits! It took me one hour to install medium twists. I plan on keeping them in for 2 weeks, moisturizing my ends on an as-needed basis. If you think about it, one hour divided by 14 days is equivalent to about 4 minutes styling per day. So looking at the big picture, one hour is not a lot at all.
I’m often discouraged to protective style, particularly put my hair in twists, because: A) I like to wear my hair out B) it seems time-consuming and C) requires more planning and preparation than a wash n go or a twist-out.
However, this morning it took me a whole 2 minutes to pin my hair up into this bun and move on with my business. I have to admit, it was totally worth it. Not to mention, my ends are extremely hydrated, as they’re protected from harsh elements and tucked away most of the time.
I can’t say, I’ll protective style all the time. However, I get what all the fuss is about.
Do you protective style? If you do, what are some of your favorite to-go-to options for protective styling?
low porosity hair care 
I love twists they are a great low manipulation, and the greatest benefit is that I get to see my hair everyday.
Completely agree, although I can’t commit to doing it every week. I’ll definitely incorporate them on a regular basis.
I wish i could wear my hair out but it tangles awfully and causes me hours of grief on wash day. I keep it in twists which can get boring but makes my life so much easier.
Not boring at all. Twists always seemed fancier and more complicated to me, which is why I wear my hair out a lot.
Indeed, my way of life for my hair for the next year, I do 2 strand twists, my hair loves it and thrives when in that protective style, so yes, it does work wonders!!! 😀
