Are you REALLY protective styling?

:blush3: Hi ladies! My ears were burning, lol!

People are a trip when they see something out of the ordinary... SMDH. I wonder if I'll start getting comments like that :scratchch I guess I'd have to wear my hair out first

Anyways, I think hardcore protective styling is one of the two critical elements for hair retention, with the other being deep moisture. Whenever I hear posters saying how they refuse to protective style, I just kinda shrug. IME, you either have your hair out and blowing around on the regular OR you can grow it long. Guess which one I choose, lol?

some people get to do both ♥

I protective style just not 100%.
For me there has to be a balance. I love wearing my hair out every now and then and I like wearing certain protective styles like buns/updos and twists. If I 'hide' my hair for too long hair boredom starts to kick in and that's when I have switch it up by wearing it 'out' for a while. I just apply the same methods as I do ordinarily when my hair is out (moisturize/seal etc..) so my length retention wont be affected. You just to have find the best retention methods that work for your hair and you'll see results.
