Protective Hair Styles for Long Hair Growth

In this much requested video, I will teach you how to create protective styles for long hair growth! Protective styles are hair styles which keep your hair ends tucked away and protected, thus minimizing the chances of breakage. Keeping my hair in these styles on the regular has helped me to grow long hip length hair, after having a chin-length hair cut. My hair has never been this long before. These styles keep your hair up and off your body, which reduces the chance of mechanical damage and protects your hair from the elements. The best protective styles also do not place tension on your hairline, and distribute the weight of your hair over a large area of your head. Protective hair styles have been used for hundreds if not thousands of years, and were likely an important factor for the many historical women who were able to grow very long hair. I will show you several of my favourite styles - attractive and historically inspired protective styles that I wear my hair in on a daily basis. There will be lots of tips for how to alter these styles for shorter, straighter, or finer hair than I have. I will even be sharing with you THE protective style that I used when my own hair was at chin length. You will learn what tools and supplies you need to create these hair styles (it's very basic), as well as how to use my new favourite hair fastening tool, Holdi-Locks - link to purchase is below. You will even learn some quick natural techniques for how to naturally "dry cleanse" the hair - alleviating excess oiliness WITHOUT needing to shampoo your hair all the time. After all, protective styles are a great way to go longer between hair washes! **TYMO AIRHYPE** Buy from TYMO Official Website: http://shrsl.com/3xm8d *Use code KATHERINE30 at checkout for 30% OFF* Valid Until: 31st Mar 2023 Buy from Amazon: https://shrsl.com/3xmef *Use code AIRHYPE66 at checkout for 20% OFF* Valid Until: 31st Mar 2023 ✍ Blog post for this video: http://bit.ly/3YX5Vrn 🌿 Buy My Herbal Hair Growth Oil: http://katherinehaircare.com 👩‍🦰 Book a hair consultation with Katherine: https://bit.ly/katherinehair ⏰ Time Stamps ⏰ 0:00 - Intro 2:22 - TYMO Sponsorship 6:16 - Condition of your hair before styling 6:44 - Oily hair “rehab” - dry cleansing tips 11:09 - Hair tools you will need 13:11 - Why hair should be dry before styling 14:27 - Straight or fine hair tips 17:18 - Curly or thick hair tips 20:02 - Disclaimer 20:50 - Milkmaid braids for shorter hair 26:43 - Milkmaid braids for longer hair 32:44 - My chin-length hair updo 38:26 - Hair buns 38:53 - Easy braided bun with hair sticks 40:10 - Basic bun with bobby pins 43:25 - Holdi-Locks hair bun 48:17 - How I use Holdi-Locks to preserve my curls 49:38 - Half up half down 50:23 - Silk scarf headband bun 53:31 - French twist (for short or long hair) 57:41 - Historical “zero tension” bun 1:01:19 - Historical Holdi-Locks bun 1:02:51 - Gentle chignon 1:07:20 - Conclusion Recipes for the hair sprays I mentioned are in the blog post: http://bit.ly/3YX5Vrn My Protective Styles Informational Video- https://youtu.be/YWYMSSPzj-A My Ayurvedic Hair Spray Short - https://www.youtube.com/shorts/5Rtq_eDetEI Abby Cox’s pomade and powder video - https://youtu.be/G0XKXBEleVY Morgan Donner’s hair taping video - https://youtu.be/dpT86z93Ec8 👩‍🦱 Recommend Hair Care Products (Full list: https://bit.ly/hairsupplies) Rhassoul clay: https://amzn.to/3TIAMFe Boar bristle brush: https://amzn.to/3um8ki6 Scalp massager: https://amzn.to/3YlXrKb Jojoba oil: https://amzn.to/3ArhihM Apple cider vinegar: https://amzn.to/3OTURYr Organic Sulphur Crystals (MSM) - https://amzn.to/3grGr4O Satin sleeping bonnet - https://amzn.to/3tNr0KY Silk pillowcase: https://amzn.to/40vwk12 Microfibre hair towel: https://amzn.to/3DEyAtl Satin scrunchies: https://amzn.to/3YrNdrT Shea butter: https://amzn.to/3ROmvJL Bentonite clay: https://amzn.to/3HTF61M Castor oil: https://amzn.to/40qBCeq Aloe Vera Juice - https://amzn.to/3uef3uw Hair trimming scissors: https://amzn.to/3DBLfNG Fenugreek seeds: https://amzn.to/3Y6SSDS MSM Powder: https://amzn.to/3Yq38Xp 💇Holdi-Locks hair up-do tools: https://bit.ly/holdilocks *Use code "KAT10" at checkout to receive 10% off your order!* "Bun-Maker" Kit: http://bit.ly/3jV6yTs Gentle hair "barrette": http://bit.ly/3jT51gH 👑 Join my Channel Membership: https://bit.ly/joinkatherine 🌐 My website: http://katherinesewing.com 🛍 Sewing supplies I recommend: https://bit.ly/sewsupplies 💇 Hair care products I recommend: https://bit.ly/hairsupplies 💄 Makeup products I recommend: https://bit.ly/makeupandskin 🌿 Buy My Herbal Hair Growth Oil: http://katherinehaircare.com 👩‍🦰 Book a hair consultation with Katherine: https://bit.ly/katherinehair 📖 "Victorian Custom Corset-Making" Course: https://bit.ly/corsetcourse ☕ Buy me a coffee: https://bit.ly/katherinecoffee ✉ Join my mailing list: https://bit.ly/katherinenewsletter 💻 Contact me: [email protected]
