  • A protective hairstyle (a term generally used with reference to Afro-textured hair) is a hairstyle that keeps the hair tucked away with minimum manipulation from the weather. Both cold and hot weather can pose as a threat to healthy hair with friged air, humidity and water damage from rain and snow. Learning the benefits on how to style your hair can help you retain length and growth. Protective hairstyles include braids, wigs, locks, and twists. Afro-textured hair is often prone to breakage or damage from the elements; protective hairstyles aim to guard against this. However protective hairstyles sometimes involve tension at the scalp, like braids with weaves and wigs, and are not the ideal style. They may also prevent your hair from growing, which, if prolonged, may lead to traction alopecia. Protective styles are more about styling your hair for a few days and using the correct styles and products. Depending on the hairstyle and how well it is taken care of, protective hairstyles can last between two weeks to two months. In the United States, some jurisdictions have banned discrimination based on hairstyles associated with African Americans, including protective hairstyles. In 2007, a radio host Don Imus caused a outrage when he called the Rutgers University basketball team "nappy-headed". This lead to cancellations of his future show. In 2020 Noah Cyrus made a comment about "nappy hair" which led to many controversies. She later on apologized through social media, saying she didn't know the context and history behind the terms she had used. A federal bill called the Crown Act was passed in 2022: the Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair Act of 2022 was passed with the intention to prohibit race-based discrimination based on hairstyles and hair texture. In present time Black women have created blogs and Youtube channels to embrace their hairstyles in positive ways. (en)
