Healthy hair trends for Fall 2016

Summer is almost over and as the leaves start falling and the temperature drops, those of us on a healthy hair journey know it's time to start rocking those protective styles that tuck in our ends and keep them safe and unaffected by the wind and cold.

Here are some semi protective hairstyles that are trending this season.

Top knots and low buns:

Buns, puffs and top knots are go to styles for naturals and relaxed girls alike. Particularly those who want to protect their ends from the elements while looking put together and stylish. Here are two quick and easy styles in this category:

Braids and senegalese twists:

Even though braids are not fully protective as your ends are not covered, they are considered a low manipulation style. The lack of a need to comb, brush, pull, tug and otherwise manipulate the hair helps prevent the ends from being ripped, drying out and ultimately breaking off.


Box Braids
Sengalese twists



Box braids and senegalese twists are perfect for the fall, especially for those of you who are busy with school/work/kids and want to significantly cut down your daily hair styling time.

Wigs and Weaves:

Last but certainly not the least are wigs and weaves.  These options when applied properly can help protect your hair, minimize breakage and maximize length retention. You can go with a texture that is close to your natural hair or opt for something a little more dramatic.
