Which do you choose?
I was browsing my favorite YT vloggers and hair blogs, and I came across a video about Low Manipulation styling. Since I henna'd on Friday and saw all the broken ends, I decided that I would do less manipulation. Having 4b/c hair, I know that my texture is fragile so all the daily moisturizing and sealing may have been more damaging that helpful. I also practice protective styling by wearing my lacefronts. However, I have seen less breakage with the low manipulation than with the wigs! So where do you all stand on protective versus low manipulation? Which do you think is best to maximize hair growth? Is it better to protect your hair from the elements or from yourself? Or both?
My low-manipulation style:
After I DC on Saturday, I put my moisturized hair into about 12-16 two-strand twist. Because I do them in four sections, I have an even amount on both sides. After the twist are done, I do french braids/loose cornrows on each side. I just grab a loose twist as I braid. I then twist up the ends and bobby pin them in. I make sure to tuck any loose ends in during the week. I don't take them down again until Wednesday when I co-wash. However, I do spritz them daily and lightly pat oil on them to keep in moisture.
I will post pics next time I do it after my next wash day.
