Protective styling protects your natural hair from stress and environmental factors by keeping it tucked away. Protective hairstyles are perfect for summer. You don’t have to worry about your hair every 5 minutes, you can effortlessly go from day party to the beach or vice versa, and your hair gets a much needed break. Our Miracle RepaiRx line, Moist Collection and Serums all work well with these styles. Try these 10 protective styles for your natural, curly, kinky or wavy this summer!
Faux locs
Faux locs are a great way to keep hair protected. With faux locs you can dress them up and rock them however you choose. Even as the style gets older they still look amazing. Before you style your hair it is imperative that it is well moisturized. Our Miracle RepaiRx Protective Leave In Conditioner does just that, keeps hair moisturized while preventing split ends and reducing breakage.
Box braids
Another great summer protective style is box braids. Box braids keep your hair protected and are literally always in style! You can play around with the color, size or length and remain damage free. Our Miracle RepaiRx Anti Breakge Serum is great for both braids and faux locs because the oil penetrates directly to your real hair without buildup, smells amazing, fights frizz and flyaways and keeps hair soft and shiny.
Havana Twists
Just like faux locs, twists can look even better with time, last for a long time and keep your hair protected while still looking cute! Our Miracle RepaiRx Anti Breakge Serum works great for twists.
