Also, the key to maintaining your hair under wigs is moisturization!

Oil your scalp or spray your hair with a leave-in conditioning mist every day or weekly in order to keep your hair moisturized, prevent breakage, and promote growth.

Protective Styles to Try This Summer

Box Braids

Box braids are a caring style that can last you 4-6 weeks with proper care. It is best for the summer because your hair is completely protected.

You can get braids wet, so you can simply wash them weekly to keep your scalp clean.

As before mentioned, a way to extend the lifespan of your braids is to undo the braids around the perimeter, wash your hair, and re-braid your hair.

Many women dread the install process of box braids because it can take on average 5-8 hours, depending on the size of the braid.

Crochet Hair

Crochet is a unique braiding technique. Your hair is braided down into cornrows, and then a crochet needle is used to weave the hair extensions of your choice through the braids.

It’s a reasonable style that is fast to install. Crochet styles can last 2-4 weeks depending on how well you maintain them because hair tangles are easier and can frizz up quicker.

For the most part, you can catch your hair wet when it’s in a crotchet style. We suggest using a leave-in conditioner or curl enhancing product to maintain the curls. But if you use Marley Hair, it’s best to avoid getting your hair wet.

Braided Crown and Low Bun

One of the easiest ways to elevate the look of a low bun is by adding a braided crown.

It’s a fast and easy transformation from informal to formal and is a great style for the workplace or events.

Flat Twist

Flat twists look similar to cornrows, but they’re easier to achieve. They’re a great protective style that can last up to a week.

At the end of the week, you can undo your flat twists to reveal a beautiful twist-out fro.
