Since working from home and isolating have become the new norm well… at least for the foreseeable future! A lot of us are having to DIY since our salon visits are non-existent! whilst we are at home it’s the perfect reminder to keep our natural hair moisturised and in protective styles.

Protective styles are a great way to retain length by keeping your ends safely tucked away resulting in less manipulation and breakage.

If you’re like me and you don’t want to spend a huge amount of time on your hair then these simple and easy styles are perfect for you and your kids.

All you need are:

• Gel

• Hairband

• Wide-tooth comb

• Accessories (optional)

• Spray bottle

Sleek 2 bun twists Protective Style

Perfect if you can’t braid or flat twist. A great protective style if you don’t want the hassle of braiding but you still want to look cute around the house.

French braid & Tuck Protective style

There are so many variations of this style, it’s such a classic protective style. To switch up this look I decided to do a french braid instead of the normal overhand braid. 

Low side swoop bun Protective style

This side bun is great if our hair is a bit longer. It can be a bit tricky to get the side swoop neat as you can see mine wasn’t super neat. But hey… that’s ok I’m just getting ready to go to my living room!

2 braids ponytail

This is a great wash day style and also a great way to stretch your hair. Adding two braids at the front section with some accessories instantly jazzes up the look.

2 braids roll & tuck

If you don’t fancy putting your hair into a ponytail then try this simple roll and tuck method. This is a great alternative style that you can wear to different occasions.
