Cute Hairstyles to Protect Your Natural Hair this Winter

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Buff State chapter.

It’s everyone’s favorite time of year again. Snow is falling, Christmas songs are filling your ears, the hot chocolate is delicious; it’s Winter time.

Despite all of these great things happening, your natural hair may be suffering. Every naturalista should know that as the tempature drops in the Fall and Winter, the moisture in the air lowers and this may cause your hair to dry out. Not good.

Natural hair needs moisture and the harsh temperatures of Winter are kryptonite for your hair. To combat this, it is a good idea to deep condition your hair once a week and use a leave-in conditioner.

It’s also a good idea to try out a protective style, which will help prevent damage and dryness to your hair. Here are some really cute styles to try out for the Winter:

  1. Marley Twists

     2. Box Braids

     3. Crochet braids

     4. Weaves

     5. Faux Locs

     6. Braided Updo

     7. Wigs 

     8. Cornrow Styles
