Different variations of your protective style leave you feeling confident throughout the day. However, it\u2019s important to go over the ways to maintain these styles too!<\/p>\n<p>So, let\u2019s check out some simple tips, to help you maintain your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.darlingafrica.com\/southafrica\/blog\/hairstyles\/braids\/best-protective-hairstyles-for-natural-hair-that-will-blow-your-mind\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">protective styles<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>1. Duration Of Your Style<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>We recommend you let your style stay on for five to six weeks, post which you can get your hair re-twisted. After fifteen to twenty-two weeks redo the style completely or take them out.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>2. Cleansing<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>There are chances of dust or lint sticking to your style, thus gentle washing is necessary. Keep minimal product use and co-washing is not required. We do not recommend washing these locks completely unless there is a need for it, as it can take a long time to dry up. You can clean your scalp with soap water or shampoo and rinse it off lightly.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>3. Hydration<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Always choose a cream that suits your scalp! Oiling your scalp regularly avoids dryness and that\u2019s key! If you are looking for an envious lustre, oiling is going to help you with that too. You could spray rose water or just water on your strands to keep them hydrated.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>4. Fight The Frizz<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Get rid of that frizz by trimming it out with a scissor. Lack of proper care can damage your hair, so make sure you take care of your protective style.<\/p>\n<p>We hope this was helpful!
