I can't see why it would be any more protective than a ponytail. All your ends are still hanging out, rubbing on your clothes every time you move your head. If your hair is as long as hers, it's also likely to be rubbing on the top of the back of your chair. It is also still able to be rubbed on bag straps, car seatbelts, etc.
(Also, IMO braids aren't really that protective either (although, yes, they are more protective than ponytails or loose as they prevent tangling and the damage that comes from getting those tangles out). IMO, the only really protective styles are updos that keep your hair secure and off your collar, so that it is not in any way rubbing on anything, and also are made with non-damaging tools. However, I am someone with fine, delicate hair who is trying to grow to extreme lengths. YMMV.)
P.S. The phrase you are looking for is "sausage curl".
