Thanks to K.I.S.S, there has been a list composed of do’s and don’t’s when it comes to preventing breakage with protective styles.
*All of the information bellow is via K.I.S.S
Your protective style maybe causing breakage …..
To avoid unwanted breakage from protective styling daily…Here are a few Do’s and Don’ts
Don’t
- Wear Tight Ponytails
- Metal Accessories
- Rubber Bands
- Elastics with metal
- Hairs Clip and Barrettes that can snag hair
- Buns and ponytails with wet hair…Hair is weakest when wet ( I wait till my hair is at least damp before bunning)
Do
- Loose Buns or Messy Buns (alway cute)
- Elastic Bands with No Metal
- Good Day Hair Pins (Sold at Sally’s )
- Use 100% Aloe Vera Gel (For Sun Burns) instead of Hair Gel
- If you know your hair is weak ….I would stick with banana clips or french rolls until hair gets stronger..
I personally bun 90% of the time with no problem…Loose buns are always safe…..
How I achieve my sleek look in my buns…I simply….Use my spritz for my edges ( Can use water)…And lightly finger hair or use a soft brush and finger/brush into a pony tail that is not too tight..I apply my Aloe Vera Gel to just the edges then create my bun….After finishing I put on my Satin Scarf until I leave the house…When I remove my Scarf I have slick edges and a neat protective style …Without pulling my hair into tight ponytails….
