Winter Proof Protective Hair Styles

This faux locs are soft, curly, and easy to style. Therefore, you can use these locs to style your curls however you want throughout the winter and get a variety of great looks.
Box braids:
This is another look that can be easily achieved, and will last for several weeks. You can opt to keep it simple with traditional box braids, or mix it up by adding cornrows between your braids. Box braids work particularly well because they lock moisture inside the braid, preventing the interior of your hair from exposure to the elements. This means that more hair will escape damage. However, you will need to regularly moisturize your curls while in the braids, and make sure you’re removing your hair every few weeks to allow curls time to rest.
Senegalese twists:
If you’re looking for a simple, yet absolutely gorgeous protective style, these twists are for you. Additionally, these are much easier to remove from your curls than braids.
