Protective Styling

So during these harsh winter months it is important to do as many protective styles as you can.  Weave, wigs, buns, and updos can all aide in protecting you hair and those all important ends!
My favorite protective style are two-strand twists.  They last for two weeks or more, they look great, can be styled in a ton of different ways, they can be easily moisturized, and they protect the ends.  The benefits of twists can also be enhanced if you style them with aloe vera gel.  The aloe vera acts like a barrier to the cold and provides added moisture to your hair. Think of it as lip balm for the hair.  As and added bonus it provides killer definition for twist outs.

Happy Styling!
