The last few days have been so HOTT here in Charlotte NC. Not only are we dealing with temperatures in the 90s, but the humidity is a killer as well. With temperatures that high and humidity like that my natural hair doesn’t stand a chance. I’ve been rocking protective styles since the start of summer that are cool and that will also last in such warm weather. Here are some of my current favorites.
5 Protective Hairstyles for Summer…
1) Cornrows– Cornrows are my favorite of all time, because it’s such a quick style. I love rocking some big cornrows, hoop earrings, and red lipstick. It’s such a vibe.
2) Wigs– Wigs are such a lifesaver, when you don’t feel like dealing with your hair at all. Some of us natural girls get like that. I’m more of a curly wig type girl. I’m on the lookout for a beautiful kinky wig.
3) Jumbo Box Braids– Another quick but beautiful style are jumbo box braids. Depending on the day I would rather jumbo box braids over cornrows,because they last a bit longer.
4) Mini Twist– I call this style the two for one. You can rock your mini twist for a few days and take them out and rock a beautiful fro.
5) Pin Up-Last, but not least is a pin up hair do. Always a good idea for work or the gym. This style can be very quick depending on what you’re doing. My favorite is two twist to the back. This style is also great for low manipulation.
I hope this post helps all my natural girls out there trying to survive this summer heat. Let me know if you decide to try any of these styles.
Until Next Time…
