		<description><![CDATA[I am five months post relaxer and have opted to transition from my chemically processed hair back to my natural hair (which by the way I haven’t seen in maybe 25 years). I plan to use protective styles for transistiong to natural hair. Transitioning means that I am not going to cut my long relaxed strands, but I will let the relaxer grow out on its own. That’s easier said than done though. As my roots get thicker, it’s becoming more difficult to deal with the different textures and it’s becoming increasingly time consuming on shampoo days to detangle the hair. Are you also experiencing the difficulties of transitioning? Are you looking for protective styles and transitioning styles to help you through this process? Here are some styles that you can incorporate into your regimen that provide protection against breakage, damage, and over manipulation on a daily basis. Roller-sets (often referred to as wet sets) This is one of the most popular styles for transitioning hair. Using magnetic rollers, (rods and bendable rollers can also be used) after washing and deep conditioning your hair, apply a leave in and ensure that your hair is wet and sit under the dryer [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Many women have chosen to incorporate protective styling into their hair care regimens. Rightfully so, as protecting the hair aids in retaining length. They also diminish the chances of breakage and stress on your natural strands. The less you manipulate your hair the more your hair will grow. Here are some protective styles for natural hair that provide versatility: Two-Strand Twists A very popular style among women with natural hair, two strand twists are versatile and can be the foundation for other natural styles. Virtually anyone can add this style to their regimen as long as you have at least one inch of hair. This style is great on any hair length rather short, medium or long. If you get tired of wearing the twists, unravel them to create a wavy/curly look, add a headband or any type of accessory and you’re good to go! Bantu Knots Can be done on wet or dry hair and can last several days, especially if you protect your hair during the night while sleeping. This is a very easy style to achieve and adds curl definition and waves without having to use rollers. Flat Twists Similar to that of cornrows, but utilizing two [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What a Tease Those of us with thin fine hair deal with limp, lifeless, hair at some point in our lives. We thin fine hair ladies love to add volume to our tresses. In a 2 minute video clip “What a Tease” featured on oprah.com, celebrity hair stylist Ken Paves suggests utilizing a comb to tease your hair to add volume. Now normally I would not advice teasing, because it can cause damage and breakage to fine strands. However, Ken comments that the key to not causing damage to your hair while teasing is to use the middle push in, middle push in approach. In essence, it is almost like gently lifting your hair (sort of like how you would when you using a pick). What I like most about this video is that Ken originally starts out with a straight style, but then shows how you can add volume while transforming the straight style into a sophisticated bun. Wearing a bun is a great protective style for safeguarding your ends. A protective style is also an essential component in growing thin hair long. Ken ends the video with exemplifying sexy and chic ways for accessorizing your tresses to take [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Split Ends While Wearing Protective Styles Ends splitting while wearing protective styles can be caused by a number of reasons. First, it depends on what type of style you are wearing. If you are wearing up-dos, buns, or ponytails, you may be brushing or combing your hair too frequently. Excessive brushing and combing especially in the same spot (i.e. the nape area or edges) can cause your ends to split. Limit the number of times you brush/comb your hair. Also, try using your fingers when doing your up-dos. If using a brush or comb is not avoidable, use a baby brush and a seamless wide tooth comb. Secondly, your hair may be too dry. When wearing protective styles it is important to keep your hair moisturized. Always use a moisturizer or a homemade moisture spritz on your hair. Remember to seal the hair with light oil (such as jojoba, sweet almond, or coconut). This will lock in the moisture and prevent dryness, breakage, and split ends. Lastly, be careful with the tools you’re using to create your protective style. Try using plastic bobby pins instead of the metal bobby bins. If you’re wearing a wig, be sure to cut out [...]]]></description>
