Winter Hair Style

Due to the weather, I have decided to put braids in my hair as a protective style. I did the braids myself and it took me about 20 hours over a period of 2 1/2 days.

I only have like 2-3 inches of natural hair so I don't know what protective styles to do. I'm not really feeling extensions because every time I do that they make my scalp very itchy. But living in Connecticut I need to think of something quick because it's getting colder every day

I understand!! Even with 2-3 inches of hair, you could put your hair in a cute two strand twist style. Some days you could wear them with a cute benie or scarf. Right now I am rockin' two strand twists. Lately, I have been wearing them with a benie or scarf due to the weather. I plan on keeping my hair in two strand twists unless I feel like braiding my hair, but for now this works for me.

You should wear your braids out, not in a ponytail, they look beautiful! I have noticed that black women in North America wear their braids mostly in ponytails or updos but black women in South America wear their braids down and flowing. I like the latter :)

I did not realize that about black women in North America vs South America. Thank you for sharing! Peace and Love!

Twist is about the only hair style I wear in the winter...

Unless I am able to come up with another winter hair style, I will continue to wear them also.

I can imagine the weather there!

I need a winter hair style right now cause it's so cold in Cleveland

Thank you! I understand the importance of listening to our hair and scalp. If it is tender, I would not try it either.
