All the natural hair girlies know that summer means replacing curl gels and hour-long wash days with an easy breezy protective style. This switch often entails one of the many braid options like knotless, boho, or Fulani, but can also include variations of twists and locs. Transitioning to these styles once temperatures begin to rise means less time spent crafting your perfect curls or coils and more time spent outside hanging with friends and actually enjoying the warm weather. They are also great for vacation because you can wake up, take off your bonnet or scarf, and go about your day without touching a single hair product. However one of the main caveats of going this route is that with extra braiding hair on your head, you might sweat more and they can feel heavy on your neck. Plus, you may want to swim in your fresh look, except that’s often considered a taboo practice motivated by fear of ruining it. So, how can you preserve your protective style while still being able to partake in all the fun summer activities?
