How often do you wear protective styles?

[vtoodler]

How often do you wear protective styles in an average month?

What are your favorite protective styles? (the ones that you think are most stylish)

 

[~~HoneyComb~~]

I'd say I wear protective styles about almost always.

It keeps my hair from matting and it's easy

ETA: Twist outs are my preferred protective style.

i wore a weave for a couple of months but other than that i dont PS...im going to start wearing wigs though...&i dont/cant do them but buns and twists are my favorite protective styles to look at.

 

[chrisanddonniesmommy]

I wear them almost always. I often use buns (high and low), updos, french braids, low side braids, and ponytails (does that count?). My favorite style is a stylish low bun with a headband. It's so cute and versatile for any occasion.

 

[halee_J]

Almost always. I wear buns or updos with a hairzing; easy and I think they look nice.

*gasps* Are twist outs considered a ps? Looks like you have achieved good length...

 

[divachyk]

For now, almost always. I dress my buns up with hair candy.

Yeah, I'm not really a protective styler...I'm more of a low-manipulation styler and do wear those often (wash and go, wash and go pony, twist out)...Occasionally, if my kitchentician is up to it, I will rock flat twists or cornrows...but not usually.

I laugh every time I read kitchentician.

[winona]

Almost always. It is easier because I am so freakin busy. I only have to touch my hair once a week

 

[IDareT'sHair]

I "WIG IT" 5 Days a Week (work). Serves as a Great PS & a Great Winter Hat.

Basically I only wear my hair on the weekends.

 

[ms-gg]

The whole month. Maybe I will wear it out once. I just don't feel like wearing my hair out that much anymore...I got super lazy....

 

[La Colocha]

About 99% of the time, for winter i wear braids with my own hair and sometimes buns. Next year in the summer i will do more buns and ponytails.

 

[ms.blue]

I'm in some sort of protective style about 95% of the time whether in braids, wigs, buns or weaves. I'm a low maintenance type of person and this fits into my lifestyle more.

 

[ParagonTresses]

Been wigging it since October (maybe September) and will continue through March. Not sure what I'll do when it gets warmer though, I really like my WNGs.

 

[JennyKenny]

Usually wear protective styles majority of the time. Mostly two-strand twists that I then put into a bun or updo. Takes me forever to twist my hair but I love not doing too much to my hair during the week.

 

[NaturalBoss]

I either wear a bun or a wash-n-go ponytail 100% of the time. I'm a protective styler by default. Even if I wasn't trying to grow my hair, it would still be in a bun or ponytail.

My absolute favorite protective style to look at is 2-strand twists. I can twist other peoples hair, but I can't do my own...and I refuse to pay someone to do it. I will just keep practicing.

 

[africanqueen456]

Im transitoning..So it keeps my from bcing. I lurve me some sew ins and buns...

 

[KurlyNinja]

I protective style almost all the time. Just putting my hair under a wig is just easy. Also bunning keeps my hair off my neck. Even wearing my hair down right now for Christmas is irritating me.

For me it's been a great protective style and a way for me to wear my hair out often. The key to this being a protective style for me, is that I retwist nightly, but I don't comb or brush my hair from one wash to the next--for me it's very little manipulation.

 

[ckisland]

I've never done protective styling for more than a week or 2 until I did a personal month long bun challenge about 2 months ago. This year I'm trying something different and I'm going to bun 100% of the time for the next 6 months. We'll see what happens.

 

[MsSonya]

I chose almost always. Mostly because my hair is to short to wear 'down'. I like doughnut buns, weave ponytails, trying to ease up on the LF and half wigs because of my hairline.

 

[ctosha]

Almost always but just out of convenience. Right now I'm loving putting my hair in high buns.

That's my fancy name I give my good friend, she's a member on here too missjae09, lol!!!

Aww! Thanks! This is the only arena that I consider a stalker a compliment

 

[JJamiah]

I protective style 99% of the time. Yet I mostly always have. I go through my eras once in a blue moon where I want to wear my hair out. But not often.

I love low maintenance hair styles. I also love convenience. I wig it most of the time.

For 2011 I will be wigging it for 3 weeks of the month and wearing my hair in another PS style for the other 9/10 days

 

[CherryCherryBoomBoom]

Well, at the moment, my hair looks quite bad when it's down anyway , so by default I just have to stick with protective styles pretty much nearly all the time, whether it's buns, French plaits, braids, weaves or half wigs. And hey, they are easier and I love changing my style anyway

 

[Toy]

99% of the time i wear Buns My favorite protective style.

 

[wheezy807]

Nine times out of ten my hair is in protective style, i love buns too.

 

[ATLcutey20]
