I use crochet to protect my relaxed hair cause I seriously got tired of box braiding in both small and mid size box braids myself. I go 3 to 4 months but the itching gets the best of me. I doubt I could make it to 6. I do agree oil should be kept to a minimum. Tfs with us. Thumbs up👍🏾💜
Hello. Your right. 6 months is the MAXIMUM time I would recommend to anyone for a protective style. I have done this a few time with no issue so it is easily achievable for someone who KNOWS how to properly detangle and take down a protective style. I would recommend 3 months to a someone new to the process. Anything less than that is just a hairstyle 😆. Thanks for watching💕
Hi Ianna, I received a virgin relaxer a few days ago and my hair is so thin/fine I can't even imagine how it could cope with synthetic hair. Also most vloggers/professional stylists recommend shampooing and deep conditioning weekly but you go up to six months without deep conditioning. Apart from the hair oil you mentioned how do you keep your hair moisturised for all those months? I'm so intrigued.
I can only do up to a month with protective styles. My hair loves water. Also, protective styles helps me keep my hands out my hair. It's really an issue for me so that's my reason for PS.
My hair is healthy and relaxed but fine and I wear crochet faux locs using the cornrow method. What has been the best protective style for you being relaxed. I usually keep mine in about 6 weeks which I see is not long enough.
Hello. Thank you for watching 💕 I love me some knotless braids. So little tension.... And it looks so natural. I actually have some large knotless braids in right now lol. Plus the install is so quick!!
Yeah for me after a month, I have to at least re do the perimeter and few back rows to make it look fresh. After 2 months it has to come out or my hair will start to mat up. I think a protective style has no time frame. I think the 3 month minimum is subjective to a persons hair type and lifestyle.
Hello! Thanks for watching and for you comment 💕yes I agree.... there are no rules in hair care. It is all subjective. I am just giving information on what WORKS for me. I have had protective styles in for as long as 6 months. Does it still look “fresh” as you mentioned? No... but I feel when on a hair JOURNEY for growth, you can sacrifice appearance for end result. If I am putting braids in just for STYLE then two months is good enough.
Hello!! I keep my style looking as nice as possible by tying it down every night. I also try not to wash too often because that produces frizz. If I refresh I ONLY refresh the top middle of my hair and wear a low ponytail. NEVER my edges because of the tension. At 3 month with proper care my braids still look DECENT. Not amazing.... but I sacrifice appearance for growth. It easier to go longer with a full head weave with bang or closure. Thanks for watching and thanks for your comment 💕
My hair is the same. It grows so fast by 3 weeks I’m ready to “touch up” the edges and front when I have braids and twists. After 6 weeks the whole thing needs to be redone.
I take down my braids in sections. I saturate each section with a leave in and oil and put each in a plait. I wrap up my hair and take down the next day for washing and deep conditioning. Taking my time works best for me.
Lol Yes. Literally the same technique. Instead of the leave in I use the head and shoulders build up remover. Love it. Literally dissolves any matted areas. Thanks for sharing your routine. Love to hear what works for others ❤️ If your in the US enjoy the holiday !!!
So... I didn't detangle well enough before washing my hair after 3.5 months of protective styling. It's taken me days to soften the mats and knots but I've also lost a ton of hair. I can already tell I'm going to have to cut off my relaxed part and start over. I'm so upset because I have a good 3 inches of new growth just wasted. Maybe it will look different once I'm able to relax the new growth, I don't know but right now I'm so upset with myself.
Oh no. I’m sorry about this set back. Yes if you don’t remove all the build up before washing... the soap locks that matted hair in place making it sooo much more difficult to remove. Have you tried the head and shoulders pre shampoo build up remover. Im not sure how well it works after you’ve already washed ... but it’s a miracle worker. It may still help. Also don’t be discouraged. You can’t tell how much you need to trim until the hair is fully straightened/ relaxed. It may not be as much as you think. If you do have to cut more than you would like consider a asymmetrical cut to save length where you can. For example if the front seems to have suffered the most damage... consider a layered trim/ cut in the front and keep your length in the back. With my set back I had to cut an asymmetrical bob taking most off from the back. But I loved the look and the back grows much faster than the front of my hair so it caught up in no time. Hope that helps a bit with the frustration you may be feeling after a set back ❤️ Reach out with any questions. Here to help if I can
The same thing happened to me. I'm so glad I found this channel. I will do my 1st shampoo with all of her recommended products. Good luck on your hair journey.
Hello. Thank you for watching 💕 I usually waiting about 2 weeks after relaxing to install my protective style in order to give my scalp a break before putting tension on it.
I would recommend waiting a few days after (5 -7 days at least). That is because the relaxer can be irritating to the scalp and to follow that up by directly putting in a protective style with a lot of tension my be too much, especially for fine/ fragile hair. It can definitely be done but I think the best thing to do is wait a few day at least. Thanks for watching💕
Hello, I wear braids constantly and I am relaxed. My hair use to be very long but I'm noticing I getting shorter and thinner and even my edge line is thin.at this point I'm not not sure if I need to keep the protective styles or stop. I wash and moisturize it before braids but my hair looks horrible at this point .
I noticed someone said something about weave-in. What's your take on wigs? I have alopecia on my edges/sides. Im thinking something i dont have to wear all the time. no pressure on my sides.if that makes sense
Hi, I had knotless box braids put in for the 1st time 4 days ago and I have moisturized and oiled my scalp everyday not knowing that I wasn't supposed to. What do you wash you scalp with when you have braids and when do you redo the braids to keep them for at least 3 months to retain length.
Hello!! I typically don’t refresh my braid however if I do I only refresh the top middle and keep my hair in a low ponytail. NEVER my edges because of the tension. I tie my hair down every night, I wash as little as possible because washing causes frizz. Usually with proper care my braids look DECENT at 3 month lol I use Moroccanoil hydrating shampoo however I think any shampoo will do. Thanks for watching 💕
@@IannaYvonne thank you for this video. Did you say you do NOT refresh the edges? As in takedown and redo them? Do you think this causes breakage? My edges are very fragile and I would like to know the best way to protect them x
@@kijibeTo Hello. Thank you for watching 💕.... I NEVER redo the braids around my hairline/edges. The tension from the initial application of the protective styles is really all I’m will to put my hairline through. Too much tension from back to back installs/ application can thin your hairline or even cause permanent hair loss (traction alopecia).
@@IannaYvonne thank you so much for your response. Just recently subscribed to your channel, im looking for that long hair girl☺ im learning a lot from you❤
Hello. I recommend keeping a weave in for a minimum of 8 weeks. I usually take my sew-ins out after about 3 months (12 weeks). Thank you for watching ❤️
Hello! I have a video on how I grew my hair to mid back ( link in description) however I would recommend protective styles, minimal heat, deep conditioning and proper detangling, as well as proper nutrition 💕
Hello i have weave in my hair , my hair dresser treated before putting in the hair. I want to know how I can wash it , is two months okay to keep I in? Can I wash I every 4 weeks ?
Hello! I usually wash every 4 weeks with my sew-ins. With a sew in you have to wash in between the tracks so I better to wash when your hair has grown out a bit. Honestly you wash the scalp that you can reach 😆 because you may not be able to get to it all. Use a moisturizing shampoo. I usually don’t condition unless it’s the weave hair only ( for appearance). If you are new to protective styles two months is good but I usually push to three as a minimum when I am trying to see growth. Reach out with any other questions. Thanks for watching 💕
Yes ... exactly! I wash my hair in 4 braids for easy detangling. I apply my hair mask after I shampoo for about 20 minutes. I plan to film my wash routine and a no heat style. It’s coming soon 💕
I big chopped June 24th 2017.. shaved sides and all. fast forward 3 years and my hair is only at collar bone length. Am I doing something wrong that’s slowing down my Growth process? My hair is at an ok length but I feel like 3 years post big chop my hair should be some what longer then what is currently is. Please list some tips!!! ❤️
Hello. I list a few tips in my “how I grew my hair to mid back” video that I think might really help. I was having some trouble retaining length for a while myself. If your hair is overall healthy you may benefit from protective styling with proper detangling during takedown. Wigs are even better if your into them lol. Give your hair a rest from constant handling. I think this will make the BIGGEST difference 💕
Flat twist styles are cute and can be styled different ways. You can get mini twist and styles different ways too. Buns don’t last as long as braids, but a good bun can be done on a weekly basis
6 months is too long for a protective style. Most people's hair is filthy and matted. And the take down takes hours and is damaging. 2-3 months will work.
Lmao 🤣 I keep my braids in until they’re about to fall out lol! Watch my take down video. The new growth was crazy!! But its one of the things that really helped me finally retain length. Not recommended for beginners to protective styles. Beginners should start with 6-8 weeks. Thank you for watching
Hello. I tie my hair down every night, wash only when I see buildup. Usually every 3-4 weeks. Use hair oils to moisturize and keep my scalp from itching. And if needed I refresh a few braid ( if the protective style is braids). Thanks for watching 💕
3 months MINIMUM? hold on. Nah, a month is perfect lol. Some people really neglect their hair when it's styled and some are always in their hair when it's out. To me a protective style is just to keep my hands out my hair. I still wash and oil my scalp so it's going to frizz. I'm not walking around looking homeless because I'm not in the mood to at least take out and redo my hair every 4 weeks. Plus I don't wear wigs and weave. If I was, sure. With braids it's a pass.
Lol. Thank you for watching! And I do understand…. Its hard to keep your braids looking nice after the three month mark…. But if growth and length retention is your goal you should shoot for 2-3 months. My relaxed hair is about waist length now. I reached this length by extending my protective styles. 🤷🏽♀️❤️
Lol 😆 It was a crazy time. Busy with life so no time for hair. But my hair grew so much and I retained that length. Don’t recommend for everyone. That said… if you know what your doing your protective styles can stay in for quiet some time. Thank you for watching 💕
Relaxers don’t “ kill hair” because hair is not alive. They do weaken hair, can even cause damage…. But so does heat, hair color, braids, even excessive combing and manipulation. So unless your natural hair has literally never been touched or manipulated … your hair gets weakened and potentially damaged as well. Proper hair care practice is key. That’s how I grew my hair (to almost waist length now) 😉 Thanks for watching
Beautiful hair !!! I'm not relaxed but I think these tips are great for non relaxed hair too. Also that peach color really suit you.
Thanks so much💕💕 and thank you for watching!
I wear my protective styles for 3 months, it allows my hair to grow like weeds... great advice!

3-6 months, most people don't take care of their hair in a "protective style". That length of time will cause more harm than good for most people.

If you want healthy hair and growth you should definitely take care of your hair during a protective style.
The point is that you're SUPPOSED to take care of it in a protective style. It's not hard
wouldn't it just loc up??
Hi, can I keep knotless braids for that long? Can you do a video of how you take down and detangle?
Wow! I wish I could go that long . My super coarse hair starts to matt at the 3 month mark 🤦🏾♀️ lol Great tips 💞

Great video! I have a question for you: after the take down, what is the best routine to do a relaxer touchup? Immediately or after deep conditioning?
Hello. I usually detangle and remove buildup. Then the next day relax and deep condition. So relax first lol. Thanks for watching 💕
I would say to add baby powder to your scalp so you don’t get burn from the scratching while doing the touch up.
How long after a relaxer can you do a long-term protective styles eg braids/locs
Please do a video on how you take care of your body
Classic beauty❤ thanks for the helpful tips

6 months is too long for a protective style. Most people's hair is filthy and matted. And the take down takes hours and is damaging. 2-3 months will work.
It's not filthy and matted IF they are washing it regularly and using leave in conditioners and oiling the scalp every night or every other night.
l just like your colour what body cream do u use
I usually moisturize with Shea butter.
You are so beautiful!!
Do you only get your hair washed at the salon?
Once a month in the salon. And I wash at home and style without heat once a month. Usually I wash every 2-3 weeks
