Protective hairstyles are the need of the hour (or season!). We are not kidding. As temperatures change, your hair will likely require protective hairstyles. Protective hairstyles are the ones that keep your hair tucked away with minimal manipulation from extreme weather — both hot and cold.

But you know what is better than having protective hairstyles? Have protective hairstyles with hair extensions. Yes, it’s possible! You can have protective hairstyles with human hair extensions, clip in human hair extensions, sew in human hair extensions, and many more.

Needless to say, the best hair extensions in the market will give you the best possible protective hairstyles. But first, it is important to know how you keep your hair healthy with these hairstyles since your hair is going to be tucked away for longer periods than usual.

  1. Wear silk scarves: One of the important things to do when you are getting used to protective hairstyles is to wear silk scarves — especially at night. This creates minimal friction in your hair and prevents them from breaking — eventually leading your protective hairstyle to be compact and neat.
  2. Hair oil: Use hair oil to avoid dryness in your hair and scalp, experts suggest. This will also help strengthen the roots of your hair and will help your protective hairstyle style for longer periods of time.

These are the two most important tips about healthy hair. We hope they would be as beneficial to you as they’ve been to us. Now on to the next and more important part of this blog — what are the different kinds of protective hairstyles that you can try? Let’s find out!
