As someone with textured hair, protective styles come in clutch for me😂 I meann, I do love my natural hair don't get me wrong, but a little break from it doesn't hurt once on a while😅. Plus protective styles are super cute and easily manageable so it's literally a win win lol. So, picking a good protective hairstyle can be a lot because there's such variety thankfully 😂. But a few key notes you should consider when picking out an appropriate protective style; Your edges Honestly at this point I'm not sure if I have a KSI forehead or my edges have been pushed all the way back😂😂(this is a serious issue btw🥲😂) Just tell your hair stylist to leave your edges alone😠,trust me, I'm saving you from a seven head and a receding hairline😂 Tension Too much pulling is very detrimental to your hair growth and hair care. If you see those little bumps forming on your scalp, just know that style is too tight . Size The size
