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

Don’t worry this piece of article is here to help you out! Read on.

Bring in the New Year goals! Protective hair styling for natural hair has been a staple in the hair community for quite some time now. 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.

Creating protective hairstyles that are gentle on the hair can be achieved with minimal tension, proper structure, adequate moisture, and understanding your hair’s needs.

6 Protective Hairstyles for Faster Natural Hair Growth in 2024

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 are suitable for all hair types and lengths. The crucial aspect of cornrows is ensuring that your hair is thoroughly detangled and moisturized before braiding, and being careful not to braid your edges too tightly.

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 stand out as the superior choice for incorporating added hair into braids due to their ability to minimize tension on both 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 hairstyle requires minimal time and effort, and a small amount of gel applied to the edges will give the impression that you’ve spent hours styling your hair!
