If you’re in the process of growing out your curls, you know it can be a bit tedious. Curls don’t seem to grow as fast as straight textures, and this is because of their coiled shape. While they do actually grow at the same rate, it just takes longer for curls to see. However, it doesn’t hurt to help your curls out during this process. Here are easy protective styles for growing curls. Give these a try, and you’re sure to see longer curls in no time at all.
Easy protective styles for growing curls
Bantu knots:
If your curls are prone to breakage, consider rocking some bantu knots for a few days. One of the great things about these knots is that you can choose a few, or a lot to really customize your look. Additionally, they’re very to create, so you can achieve this look right at home without having to go to a salon.
Buns:
Even though they may look tough to accomplish, buns for curly haired people are actually quite easy. This is because most curly girls tend to have thicker hair, so it becomes easier to create the volume a bun needs to look good. A bun will protect your curls from the elements by curling your hair inside of itself, so don’t be afraid to rock a bun or two regularly.
Low pony:
Ponytails can really be elevated by creating a deep part, and drawing your hair to the back of your head. Create a low ponytail at the nape of your neck, and catch the hair with a cloth-covered hair tie. If you need a little extra protection for your strands, you can braid the ponytail as well. For a second day look, wrap the braid around to create a low bun.
