Protective Styling is wearing your hair in a way that protects your ends from friction, manipulation and the environmental elements.

Why should I wear my hair in protective styles?

The ends of your hair are the oldest section of your hair and therefore have been put through the most damage. Often people have a terrible misconception that their hair is not growing however, the hair is always growing out of the scalp, but you may not be retaining length if the ends are split and broken. By wearing protective styles you protect your ends from breakage and the end result is increased length. The goal of protective styling is protecting the ends of the hair so that you can retain more length.
