Cornrows

Cornrows are like the OG of natural protective hairstyles and are arguable the most protective natural hairstyle. If you are after a low maintenance hair style, you may find classic Cornrows easy to maintain. There are different types of Cornrows hairstyles that keep the hair nicely tucked in, promoting hair growth, while protecting the hair from external stressors. Pinterest is a great platform to check out natural hairstyles for inspiration and ideas. So, if you are thinking of getting Cornrows done, you can have a look online for various Cornrows hairstyles that will suit your face and lifestyle. Depending on the type of Cornrows you install, you can expect the style to last for around 4-6 weeks.

Box Braids

Box Braids are really popular now, and it is not surprising as they are quite to easy to maintain and gentle on the scalp. They are also quite versatile, great for various hair textures and lengths, and easy to style. If you are looking to grow your hair, you should consider installing box braids. With proper care, you can have your Box Braids on for about 6-8 weeks, which will give your natural hair time to grow undisturbed.

Twists

When it comes to protective natural hairstyles, Twists are definietly my favourite. I love how they look, especially when they are installed in big sizes. Twists are less tension inducing than braids, they are also easier to remove, but usually longer to install. They can be installed in different lengths and sizes, and usually last an average of 6 – 8 weeks. They can be styled in a variety of ways, so it is quite easy to change the look every now and again.

Goddess Braids

Goddess Braids are also very popular at the moment, and looking at the protective hairstyle, it is easy to see why. It is super stylish and trendy, However, a bit more maintenance is needed with this hairstyle due to the curls and the length. For those who are after a more over the top look, Goddess Braids is worth checking out.

Protective hairstyles are great for retaining hair length and reducing breakage as there is less manipulation. Keeping your natural hair moisturised with the right hair oils and products will work wonders with the protective hairstyle. Also, as little manipulation as possible when it comes to styling your protective hairstyle, this will help your hair stay healthy and neat. Goddess Braids can also last around 6-8 weeks depending on the type of curls used.

5 Top Tips for Dry Hair

March 6, 2025 By in Beauty Tags: , , , , , 1 Comment

Caring for your dry hair can be tricky and painful to style, but luckily, there are many top tips for dry hair care. If you are like me and have dry hair, you may find these 5 tips for dry hair post handy.

Less washing, more mositurising

Depending on your hair type, you may get away with washing your hair less often. I wash every couple of days and it works amazingly well for my hair type. I focus on moisturising to keep my scalp healthy and shiny. If you are battling with dry hair, try washing your hair less, maybe try going for a few more extra days without washing, and see how your hair feels. Also, increasing your moisturising does help massively. I moisturise my hair every day, sometimes twice a day and it is so beneficial.

Use Essential Oils

Many of you would know I am a huge fan of essential oils. I find them so useful to have and I use the oils in many different ways. My favourite essential oils for hair care are Rosemary, Tea Tree, and Peppermint. I add a few drops to a carrier oil, usually Coconut Oil or Black Seed Oil, and I massage it into my hair and scalp, and it makes a massive difference in how my hair feels and looks. If you are looking for new products to add to your hair care routine, do consider adding some Essential Oils.

Take Supplements

Taking good supplements daily is another way of improving your hair and scalp. There are so many options to choose from, depending on your age and requirements, so do have a look and go for one that would also help your hair. If you are taking good vitamins that would benefit your hair and scalp, you should start to notice some improvements within a few weeks.

Opt for Great Hair Products

When it comes to hair products, like with most things, always go for quality over quantity. There’s no need to use a bunch of cheap hair products that do not improve your hair or scalp. It is a letter better to use fewer, high-end, quality hair products that would do the work.  I always read reviews and product descriptions to get an idea of what the product is like before committing to a purchase, and I usually opt for the smallest-sized bottle available just to be on the safe side.

Avoid Heat Styling and Air Drying

Now this tip is so important. If you have dry hair, you would want to avoid heat styling and air drying. Wrapping your hair after a wash is more beneficial for the health of your hair, than air drying. Heat styling can do more damage than good in the long run, so it is best avoided if your hair is really dry.

Dry hair can be a pain to care for but it is possible to give your hair proper TLC and leave it looking fab regardless of how dry it may be.
