In this much requested video, I will teach you how to create protective styles for long hair growth! Protective styles are hair styles which keep your hair ends tucked away and protected, thus minimizing the chances of breakage. Keeping my hair in these styles on the regular has helped me to grow long hip length hair, after having a chin-length hair cut. My hair has never been this long before.

These styles keep your hair up and off your body, which reduces the chance of mechanical damage and protects your hair from the elements. The best protective styles also do not place tension on your hairline, and distribute the weight of your hair over a large area of your head.

Protective hair styles have been used for hundreds if not thousands of years, and were likely an important factor for the many historical women who were able to grow very long hair.

I will show you several of my favourite styles - attractive and historically inspired protective styles that I wear my hair in on a daily basis. There will be lots of tips for how to alter these styles for shorter, straighter, or finer hair than I have. I will even be sharing with you THE protective style that I used when my own hair was at chin length.

You will learn what tools and supplies you need to create these hair styles (it's very basic), as well as how to use my new favourite hair fastening tool, Holdi-Locks - link to purchase is below.

You will even learn some quick natural techniques for how to naturally "dry cleanse" the hair - alleviating excess oiliness WITHOUT needing to shampoo your hair all the time. After all, protective styles are a great way to go longer between hair washes!
