One of the best ways to promote healthy hair growth and length retention for natural hair is by wearing protective styles. At Blissful Creation Hair Salon in McKinney, TX, we specialize in protective styling that’s not only good for your hair but also helps you look and feel amazing.
If your goal is to grow strong, natural hair while minimizing breakage, here are the top 5 protective styles we recommend for our clients.
- Knotless Braids
Knotless braids are a go-to protective style for a reason. Unlike traditional box braids, knotless braids are installed without adding tension at the root, making them gentler on your scalp and edges.
Benefits:
- Lightweight and low-tension
- Long-lasting (4–8 weeks with care)
- Easy to style and maintain
- Ideal for natural hair growth without stress or damage
Pro tip: Keep your scalp moisturized and sleep with a satin scarf to extend the life of your braids.
- Two-Strand Twists
Simple yet versatile, two-strand twists are great for maintaining moisture while reducing manipulation. Whether worn loose or styled into updos, they’re perfect for short to medium natural hair.
Benefits:
- Quick install
- Low-maintenance
- Great for defining your curl pattern
- Easy to take down and restyle
This is a perfect option for clients who want to keep it natural while growing it out.
- Feed-In Cornrows
Feed-in cornrows offer a sleek, protective option with a natural look and minimal bulk. They’re great for both casual and professional wear, and can be styled in countless creative ways.
Benefits:
- The scalp is easily accessible for cleansing and moisturizing
- Low-tension when installed properly
- Ideal for active lifestyles
- Can be worn alone or under wigs
At Blissful Creation Hair Salon, we focus on clean parting and tension-free braiding to keep your hair protected and neat.
- Sew-In Weaves
Sew-in weaves not only allow for versatile styling but also give your natural hair a break from heat and daily manipulation. With a proper braid-down foundation and protective styles, sew-ins can help retain length over time.
Benefits:
- Great for protective styling and styling flexibility
- Keeps natural hair tucked away and safe
- Lasts 6–8 weeks with proper maintenance
- Can be paired with closures or left out based on your preference
Ask about our lace closure sew-ins for full protection with a realistic look.
- Crochet Styles
Crochet hairstyles are fast, fun, and offer a wide variety of textures and styles — from faux locs and passion twists to curly afros. They’re perfect if you want volume, convenience, and a style that keeps your hands out of your hair.
Benefits:
- Quick install
- Lightweight and breathable
- Perfect for summer or vacation
- Versatile and easy to maintain
Crochet styles are a client favorite for anyone who wants a change without the commitment or stress.
