Winter season is one season, likes of myself don’t feel comfortable in because of the effect on our hair. My hair constantly requires protective hairstyles or else by summer it might look like fowl bum-bum with sparse hair and maybe the middle side will be longer than front or back side of my hair.
So far these are some protective styles that I have tried and will try again.
Feel free to try them out or email other protective styles to us. Would be appreciated.
Braids
Twists braids
Twist braids are my favourite because it’s easy to loosen and being super lazy at this unpaid job I find twists as an easy way out.
My first winter hair when I was still Team relaxed hair and I can say, it’s one of the few braided styles that I have done and I liked.
Mohawk style
This right here is my favourite hair style. I have tried recreating it twice.
My last winter style although I never styled it like the picture before and trust me my head was super warm. At some point I didn’t feel like loosening the hair style for as it got older, it had new beauty in my eyes. I believe I have found my to go protective hairstyles when I am clueless on what style to braid that actually gives me a good getting.
Crotchets
Fauxlocs (soft Dread)
Fauxlocs are protective hairstyles that beside being crotchet protective hairstyles, compliments the individual whenever it’s worn. It can be fixed at anytime of the year though in my opinion, winter is better for it keeps the individual warm while still looking good.
An easy to do protective hairstyle, DIY style for even beginners. This look can be achieved and shopped from most African beauty store this winter. Other forms of fauxlocs are available, feel free to visit Zanaposh on Instagram for your affordable hair and hair products.
This right here is my present hair style as of when this post was written. I loved it as soon as I saw it and had to recreate and you too can achieve this look with Zanaposh
Loving my new hairdo and sure it’s been keeping me warm… hoping it doesn’t get old early. Good thing about crotchets, they can be reused again and again with good maintenance. Just don’t forget to wash them after each use with little shampoo and conditioner, dry, oil and keep them safe for next use. This crotchet can be unravelled if you want and sure be shopped from from any African beauty store.
Wigs
This right here is a life saver especially on hair bad days. Perfect for winter for when worn, it still feels like it’s summer till one is jolted back to reality with cold slap on the face. No one ever goes wrong with wigs, It is every woman’s hair saver year in year out.
Weavon
Weavon has been identified as bonafide member of protective hairstyles since time immemorial. Nothing ever goes wrong, and with a lot of hair vendors out there, it is easily accessible.
In her words” the hair kept me warm” Thank you dear and we can imagine how warm it was considering she currently resides in one of the coldest regions in the world just like myself.
It’s winter season doesn’t mean we can’t look fly.
This can be achieved in two ways either using kanekalon or weavon. Thinking of trying this out.
Full, bold and beautiful for winter Slaying.
