(braidouts, twistouts, afros and more…)
Natural hairstyles can be extremely versatile. You can make natural hair look many different ways just be using braids, twist, rollers, or even spritzing it with water. I enjoy wearing different hairstyles with my natural hair.
In order to grow my hair long I wore protective natural hairstyles about 85% of the time. Specifically during the week I usually wore my hair up and then wore some type of loose or “down” style on the weekend. Even now that I have reached my goal length I usually save my loose hairstyles for the weekend.
It is possible to achieve natural hair growth while wearing loose hair styles but I honestly think it would take the average women with a kinkier texture of hair longer to grow their hair to maximum length if the majority of the styles are loose. The only exception I can see to this is if the style worn is one that does not rub on your clothing or shoulders etc…
So I encourage you to have fun with your natural hair, wear it up, down and various ways…. most importantly find a hair care routine that works for you and stick with it. Hopefully some of these tips and tutorials can build up your natural hairstyling skills.
