Having the perfect natural hair updo is something that all curly-haired women crave. We need a break from the consistent twist-outs, braid-outs, and wash-n-go’s. We might opt for box braids, Havanna twist, Senegalese twist, faux locs, or a sewn-in protective style. Honestly speaking, once we put a long-term protective style in the next week we’re ready to take them out. What we are truly yearning for is natural hair updo styles. These easy protective styles give us a short-term break from our natural hair without a long-term commitment. Updo styles can be created as creative or as subtle as you would like them to be. What’s great about having your natural hair in an updo-protective style is that it can be work-friendly, chic, or as funky as your heart desires. There are endless amounts of creativity that you can come up with when trying to find the perfect updo style. Besides aesthetic reasons, another great reason to wear your hair in an updo-protective style is that your hair will result in longer, fuller, and healthier tresses. You get the benefits of low manipulation and since your hair isn’t hiding under a sew-in or interlocked in between braids you have the ability to easily keep your tresses moisturized. See our 3 secrets for achieving long and healthy natural hair.
