Hair extensions are a great protective style… 

Natural hair is beautiful, unique, versatile, and a little bit mysterious. For most people with natural hair, learning how to take care of it, grow it, and style it is a challenge. Looking for a style that makes you feel comfortable and gorgeous without damaging your hair? Look no further than protective styles. For a style to be classed as protective, it has to protect your ends, your edges, and your reputation, so without further ado, let’s get into some Bomb examples of great hair extension protective styles.

Crown Braid

The crown braid is the perfect hairstyle for any occasion, especially in the winter season when most women decide to wear protective styles. It is one of those go-to quick, Braids that look far from quickly installed but are actually intricate and delicate. If you are not the best braider, try creating a flat twist. Apply a gel or pomade to both your hair and the hair extensions to help the hair lay flat while braiding. Start off this style on damp hair, but if you have thicker hair, starting on dry or stretched hair is best. Make sure to cover your crown braid with a scarf or bonnet at night to maintain a neat style.

Braided Ponytail for Relaxed Hair

We love the pretty braided ponytail look. Add a simple cornrow from the front of your head into the ponytail and smooth the rest of the crown of hair, and it’s a chic yet easy style to achieve. A faux ponytail is always a good idea! This is a great protective style for relaxed hair as it’s sleek and won’t require you to put a lot of heat on your hair. Switch it up by adding textured hair extensions, and it looks good with everything!

Lace Front Wig

The majority of black women are known for consistently switching up their hairstyles using wigs. Wigs allow you to play with different textures, colors, and silhouettes. But a lace front is not a protective style if you aren’t taking care of your hair underneath. Make sure you pay attention to your edges, as glue to lay down your wig can be detrimental to the fine hairs.

Loose Curly Wigs

Pick extensions that match your natural hair and create a sew-in style that gives you the opportunity to play with the length and silhouette of your hair to create a classic, soft and timeless look. Add more extensions for greater volume and to get your desired length.
