Can you imagine styling on dirty hair and as a result on day 2 you end up with unnecessary product build-up? Or your scalp is itching so bad that you mess up the hairstyle because of excessive scratching? Now just imagine this happening on a toddler or young child who is extremely active and careless when it comes to their hair (gasp). Whenever you are starting a new protective style it is important to start on clean hair. Before we actually get to how I style my daughters’ twists, let me first take you through what you need to do beforehand to ensure a successful outcome! Wash hair first…
#TWO STRAND TWIST FULL#
They typically can easily last a full week and have the versatility to be styled numerous ways. My favorite low manipulation protective hairstyle is two-strand twists. Now that school is officially back in session, I look for styles that I can implement that will last each one a full week. Unfortunately, that is what I am up against, three heads full of hair. When we repetitively put stress and tension on our hair as well as neglect our ends, we put our hair in jeopardy of suffering damage such as shedding and split ends.Īs it turns out these two terms have been very beneficial not only to my family’s hair journey but also to my sanity! I believe every mother can agree that taming three heads every day is a nightmare. The ends of your hair are the most fragile and so it is very important that you are gentle with them. One thing that you want to really focus on with protective styles is the ability to “protect” your ends. Protective styles on the other hand are styles that I believe can last anywhere from 3 days up until a couple of months.

In my opinion a low manipulation hairstyle is simply a way of styling the hair that puts little to no stress or tension on the hair.

When I first started my natural hair journey I would always hear and read about low manipulation hairstyles and protective styles.
