Protective styles are a natural girls favorite. Not only do they help protect your hair, they also allow you to add length and color.
I love switching it up. Therefore, when I go back to wearing the same protective styles, I always find a way to make it different than the last time I wore it. In today’s blog post, I am going to help you find ways to switch up your protective styles so that you never get tired of them.
- Add decorative beads or some metallic string. You can find both of these items at your local beauty supply store. Protective styles are also a great way to add color without fully committing. I like to add brown highlights in my braids.
- Try a new part design. My stylist Verna is known for her amazing parts. A few months ago we tried triangle parts for the first time and I fell in love. If you are feeling extra adventurous you can add an undercut like I did. You can also add cool designs in your undercut.
- Try a fish tail braid. This was my all time favorite. I tried this style to add an elegant touch to my look when attending a ball. If you don’t know how to create a fishtail braid, try a regular braid or a large twist.
I hope this helps you the next time you decided to get a protective style. Also, if you are looking for a stylist in the Atlanta area, connect with @touchedby_vee on Instagram. Tell her I sent you!
