This year, 2014 has opened up a host of awesome hair styles to fit every woman, every personality and every hair type. No one has been left out. This year if you had any desire to change your look you had option after option, a full slew of choices to fulfill your every desire to awaken the vixen within were offered to you this season.
Box Braids are braids with extension added for length and bulk. The term “box braids” was coined from the parts and sections within the style which are typically square like a box. Today these braids still hold their title yet may be found in crescent shaped parts and sections or even diagonal partings. Box Braids and twists are a great option for protective styling for young girls and adult women alike. Box Braids protect the hair from the daily elements like sun, debri etc. Your curly hair has the chance to rest from the rigor of styling.
However, the benefit of protective style truly lies in the ability to moisturize the hair often without style risk. You should take advantage of this by spraying your hair every other day with a leave in conditioning mist like CURLS Cashmere Curls Leave in Conditioner.
Consistent hydrating of the hair while in the protective style will allow your hair to be strengthened and fortified when it’s time to take down the style. Box braids and similar styles should be taken down around 2 months and must be cleansed throughout only as needed because your hair will not get excessively dirty ( unless you have a tremendously active lifestyle.) However, your scalp will get dirty as you begin to produce oil. Gentle cleansing will regulate sebum production for healthy scalp maintenance. If you are unable to cleanse at times, simply cleanse your scalp with apple cider vinegar or your facial astringent for maintenance between cleansing sessions.
Enjoy the benefits of protective styling and enjoy today’s trends while they last!
