I am not really good at protective styles, but I am trying to learn a few for the great articles here. It also doesn't help that I feel I look terrible in protective styles, but I want waist lenght hair so I am determined to learn to like them because I have been stuck at bls for years :rolleyes:. I hope all I am learning here will help me achieve my goal. I think my hair rubbing against my office chair and my brushing teqnique has been a big reason why I have been stuck, but I would have never figured that out without this web site :). I have a good starting grasp on everything but the darn protective styles.
Once I get my hair to waist length goal, will I be able to wear my hair down more? Or at least in half up's, ponys and tails up, not "ends completely tucked in" protective styles all the time.Right now I am allowing ends exposed up do's maybe once a week. I am so jealous of all of you who look so lovely with your hair up in the slicked back buns and such. With my big strange ears, it's hard to pull off.
Forgive me, because I have asked a similar question before, but I could use some more clarification.I have been putting my hair in protective styles while fairly wet and heavly leave-in conditioned and lightly oiled on the ends. When i take my hair down some 12 to 14 hours later to put up in a bedtime scrunchie bun, it is still pretty wet from ears down. When I get up from sleeping it is still slightly damp. Is this a good thing, or a bad thing? It's not bothereing me or anything, I am just asking from a health of my hair prespective. Is it bad for hair to stay wet so much of the time? I ask because I have read so much about hair being extra fragile when wet.If I dry bun i have frizzy's sticking out everywhere halfway through my day.
Last protective style question. I hate regular bobby pins, I feel like they rip my coarse hair. I have seen mention of amish pins . What other hair pins are safe and where would i find them?
Thanks for putting up with all the questions.
