My Favourite Go to Styles That Slay & Save My Hair

 

Hey love! 💕
If you’ve got thick, long, natural hair like me, then you know the hustle — keeping it healthy and looking cute can feel like a full-time job 😅. But I’ve found some styles that are not only super protective, but also super stylish — and I’m here to spill the tea! ☕✨

Whether you're rushing to work, heading to brunch with the girls, or just vibing at home, these are my go-to protective styles that keep my strands thriving:

🌸 1. The High Puff

A classic! It's quick, cute, and gives "I woke up like this" energy.
What I use: Wide-tooth comb, edge control, satin scrunchie.
💡 Perfect for Day 3 twist-outs or when my hair’s being dramatic.

🌻 2. Bantu Knots

Listen, these are not just a style, they’re a whole moment.
They keep my hair stretched, protected, and give me that bold, confident look that always turns heads.
Bonus? When I take them down, I get a super defined curly style. Two for one!
My essentials: Leave-in conditioner + a little oil for shine.

🌿 3. Chunky Twists

Easy to do and they help with length retention.
What I love: They’re low tension and I can wear them for days.
Bonus: They unravel into a bomb twist-out! 🙌🏾

👑 4. Afro Wig Days

Because protective doesn’t mean boring.
I throw on my curly afro wig when I want extra volume with zero stress on my scalp.
Tip: Glueless wigs are your best friend.

✨ 5. Sleek Bun with a Side Part

Clean, elegant, and protective—this style got me through interviews, weddings, and lazy Sundays.
Key tool: Satin scarf for smooth edges overnight!

🌺 6. Braided Crown

A little effort, major results. I feel like royalty every time I do this one.
It’s great for keeping hair tucked away and moisturized.

Is Your Scalp Okay, Sis? 7 Signs It Needs Love (Short or Long Hair!)

 We love a good hairstyle — but what’s underneath matters even more . Think of your scalp as the soil. If it’s not healthy, your hair won't flourish, no matter how bomb the style is. Whether you’re a short-hair queen or your inches touch your back, this post is your sign to check in with your scalp. 🧖🏾‍♀️✨ 💡 Why Scalp Care is So Important: Your scalp is skin — just like your face. It has pores, follicles, oil glands, and needs just as much love. When neglected, your scalp can become dry, itchy, clogged, inflamed, or weak — which affects hair growth, strength, and shine . 🔎 7 Signs Your Scalp Needs Some TLC: 1. Constant Itchiness or Flaking (Not Just Dandruff!) It could be dryness, buildup, or even a reaction to products. If your scalp always feels tight or itchy, it’s trying to talk to you. 2. Unusual Hair Shedding or Thinning We lose hair daily, but if you’re seeing more breakage or thinner patches, your follicles might be stressed. Massaging with oils can help revi...
