One of the best things about the natural hair revolution, let’s call it that for lack of a better word, is the increased number of hairstyle ideas that are now available. Gone are the days when we had three or four hairstyles to choose from whenever we decided to get our hair done. Hair stylists have taken their creativity up a notch and turned hair styling into an art form.
If your hair is anything like mine, it shrinks at the hint of moisture, you probably feel more comfortable having it in a protective style.

Below are five protective styles that you should try right now.
