Choosing a perfect hairstyle can be so draining. Have you been suffering from hair breakage and gotten frustrated from losing hair you fighting so hard to grow?

Don’t worry this piece of article is here to help you.

Bring in the New Year goals! Protective hair styling for natural hair has been a staple in the hair community for many years. However, it can often be misconstrued with just normal hairstyles. The true difference is that protective hairstyles should not pull or tug at your natural hair and should be maintained with your hair care routine.

Healthy protective hairstyles can be done with little to no tension, the right structure, moisture, and access to your hair.

The Best 6 Protective Hairstyles for Natural Hair Growth in 2022

---

1. Braided Crown

This is always an elegant style I love to rock when I want to switch up my protective hairstyles. When preparing my hair for a braided crown I like to work on pre-stretched hair for the best results.

 

2. Cornrows

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!

Cornrows can be done for all hair types and lengths. The key with cornrows is to make sure your hair is fully detangled and moisturized before braiding and make sure you do not braid your edges tight. You’ll also always want to continue to moisturize your scalp and after two weeks take your braids down, wash, condition, and re-braid if you’d like.

 

3. Mini Twists

Mini twists and I have a love hate relationship. I hate them because of how long they take but I love them because of how moisturized it leaves my curls and coils. You can rock them in many ways and even put a wig over them.

 

4. Low Space Buns

These are your normal cute space buns but with less tension. Wear them low and do not use a metal clamp hair tie for the healthiest option on your curls. These look great after an old wash and go or twist out.

 

5. Knotless Braids

Knotless braids are by far the best option for getting braids with added hair because they do not carry as much tension on the scalp and hair. I say if you can sit and get them done for a few hours then go for it!

 

6. Low Twisted Bun

This style takes little to no time and with a tad bit of gel on the edges, this will have you looking like you spent hours on your hair!
