A protective style is a low maintenance hairstyle in which your ends are tucked away, thus “protected”.   A lot of women confuse the two or even worse misuse either style. I’ll go into detail about this on a later post. Loose two strand twists are semi mini twists that are loosely twisted on stretched hair. This style can last 2-4 weeks if maintained properly. Below you’ll find detailed instructions on how I do this style. Step One – Cleansing I recommend that you thoroughly wash, condition and deep condition your hair. Make sure that you properly...
