Today, I want to talk about Protective Styles.
Protective styles are really great for those who are both transitioning and have chopped it all off.
There are many ways you can style you hair so that it can grow as well as ways to protect your hair from hair damage such as breakage, split ends and etc. I have done almost every style you can think of.
Protective styles include sew-ins, wigs, braids, u-parts, ponytails and more. Like I said before hair is so unique and versatile. You can almost do anything you want or can possibly think of to your hair.
Its is also important to protect you hair with natural oils, shampoo and conditioner. On your natural hair journey you ultimately have to find products that work best for you and your texture of hair. I personally have used As I Am, Mixed Chicks, Olive oil, Coconut Milk and more. You also want to get your ends clipped every 4-6 weeks so that your can grow healthy and strong.
Protect you hair in every way you can. You will appreciate the results much later!

10 Blogs for Natural Hair
Read this!
The blog that I choose to evaluate is one I found today. This blog is called Single Strand Knots, which is listed above. I chose this particular blog because it is the one I can relate to the most. Being natural and having a coil, kinky curl, I always come across fairy knots that can be difficult to manage. Most of the time for convenience, I just pull them out or comb them out and keep going. As short and sweet as this "Single Strand Knot" blog is, it gave me a lot of information and tips on how I can handle those knots!
I really liked how this blog gave me several ideas on how to manage fairy knots. Without coming across this blog, I really could have continued the damaging of my own hair. I also like how the author gets straight to the point. She doesn't go on and on about her own experiences with stranded knots but gives us a short idea of her past experiences with them.
However, I wish the author would have given readers a better photo of what fairy knots and stranded knots look like. Instead, it just looks like a photo pulled off google of a women looking at the ends of her hair. I have learned that readers love illustration and an example of what their reading especially when the topic becomes personal or similar to their situation.
Because I noticed the photo and how disconnected it was to the reading, I will try my best to put illustrations on my blog that fits the topic. The illustration below can really be helpful to actually see what fairy knots are.
