Fall is here, and that means protective styling for some of us. However, protecting your ends does not have to translate into boring hairdos. Check out these five cute looks you can rock this fall:
1. Braid and Tuck
This style is so easy to do yet so chic. Â You will need some gel, bobby pins, and a scarf … and you are good to go. Â It is ideal for those who do not know exactly what to with their hair at the moment.
2. Chic Bun on Twists – Remixed!
This look is essentially the bun “remixed”. Â It can be done on twists, braids, or even stretched hair. Â You will need a hairtie and a few bobby pins.
3. Vintage Pin Up
Are you interested in a vintage look? Â Well, this protective style is a great option. Â Make sure you have one flexi-rod to cleverly achieve this style. Â You will see why …
4. Rolled Updo on Twists
Are you wearing twists this fall but not exactly sure how to style them? Â Try this beautiful rolled updo, which will keep your ends intact.
5. Faux Turban Bun using Marley Hair

Do not be discouraged by the amount of hair you see for this style. Â It is a “faux” turban bun using Marley hair and a great way to switch up your look instantly while protecting those ends.
Can you see yourself wearing any of these styles?Â

I love my protective styles but I have to say that faux locs would have to be my all time favorite. Check out my YT video—> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNfSeiBdvLk&list=UUWatGJzwR0HvQJPh-DOpDPQ
Thank you for the great hair tips! They will defnintely be used ASAP!
Love these ideas
Number 1 is my go to style for work. I love how simple it is and it saves some serious time in the morning! Thanks for sharing.

you’ve no idea how #1 has helped me! thanx soo much
I love that second one! It looks so elegant, but it’s so simple. My hair isn’t quite long enough for it yet, but I’ll be keeping it in mind for the future.
Also, I just watched video #1, and she’s a Bajan! 246, stand up!
Love the styles!

Cute but I have older thinning hair. I don’t want to add extensions. I’ll stick to my wash-n-go for now.
The braid and tuck is so cute yet easy to do.
Every last one :-). Thanks for this article!
amazing! dalu, chinwe! <3
You’re welcome! :o)
The first girl (Zoe was it)? OMGee, she is just stunning and such a cute style!! Gorgeous voice too!!
These styles are lovely.
However, I rarely see styles I can imitate due to texture and length differences. Any chance of some 4c heads too so I can see a rendition that’s realistic for me?

If you need more protective styles, they’re all over BGLH. :o)
The styles on the last link are most realistic for my 4c but I could not get the style at the top of this page without a serious amount of detangling and brushing hence why I wanted to see styles on 4c hair. Thanks for posting the links.
So bglh, can we see some styles for women with short/medium, fine/thin, fragile natural hair?
I’ll try to work on it for next time. :o)
all these hairstyles are great but can we get styles for awkward length/medium length hair (by medium i mean hair that’s about 7 inches long) because i have big 4c hair that shrinks and tangles and i jus need other style options than an afro, besides my twists always shrink up and look awkward.
