The benefits of protective hairstyles

With summer on its way, I am looking forward to wearing more of my natural hair. My hair is usually in a protective style (plaits/twists) and then I wear my wigs, but with the warmer weather coming through, I am excited to style my hair the way Mother Nature intended. I am also looking forward to some good old retail therapy and looking out for some cool deals on hair accessories and hair products.

Having my natural hair mainly in protective styles has some amazing benefits. Here are a few of them –

Retains hair length

One of the most amazing benefits of protective hairstyles is that they help retain hair length. Protective hair styles as the name implies protect hair roots and tips, which leads to retaining hair length, which is a big deal for us coily hair girls.

Easy to maintain

Protective hairstyles are naturally very easy to maintain daily. Once done, all it needs is daily moisturising and you are good to go! I usually moisturise with water from a spray bottle and hair oils – coconut oil and black seed oil, and since it is so easy to maintain, the hair does not need to be manipulated or bothered as much.

Aids hydration

If you are struggling to retain hair moisture, protective hairstyles are what you need because it aids hydration. The issue of moisture escaping would be a thing of the past with protective hairstyles as the hair would retain moisture and stay healthy.

Helps with hair growth

Another great benefit is that protective hairstyles encourage hair growth as a result of all the amazing benefits already listed. Also, it helps with hair growth by reducing hair breakage. So if you are looking at growing your hair, do incorporate protective hairstyles into your haircare routine.

Allows you to wear stylish wigs

Protective hairstyles keep your hair safely and nicely tucked away and allow you to wear stylish wigs, which is nice. I like being able to switch up my looks as often as I like, and wigs allow me to do this easily and quickly.

General Skincare Tips

If you are struggling with skincare issues like pimples, acne, and the likes, you may have tried a variety of skincare products and all sorts of advice with no luck. It can be tricky finding the right skincare routine and products for your skin. I have been there and I still remember trying so many products in the search for the right ones to help curb my hyperpigmentation after pregnancy. It was a struggle and I spent quite a bit of various products that promised to clear my skin, but most of them didn’t do much.

There’s no secret to having a clear skin. Different skincare products and routines work differently for everyone, and there’s no guarantee what works great on this dry skin would also work great on another. Having said that, there are some general skincare tips that work great on pretty much everyone, and if they don’t work, they usually do no harm. Here are some of the skincare tips –

Use Gentle Skincare Products

Another great skincare tip is to use gentle skincare products every time. I generally stay away from skincare products that contain any harsh ingredients. Gentle skincare products are better for all skin types, especially sensitive skin. It is always good to test on a small area of the skin for any reaction when you use a new product for the first time.

Keep Makeup Brushes Clean

If you apply makeup regularly, it is important to ensure the makeup brushes are cleaned frequently. Keeping the makeup brushes clean would ensure your makeup is applied correctly, increases the longevity of the makeup brushes, and most importantly, helps the skin stay clean and clear.

Wash and Moisturise Twice a Day

It is important to wash face with a gentle face wash twice a day and moisturise immediately after every wash. That way your skin stays clean, clear and hydrated. The type of cleanser/face wash and moisturiser you choose should depend on your skin type, but overall, the more the skincare product the better.

Sunscreen is Important

Wearing sunscreen protects the skin from harmful sun rays, so applying sun protection at least 30 minutes before you step outside is very important.
